The Server Is Done(Posted 2005-04-08)
I rewrote the Arem IM server. Although the code is exactly the same length (in lines) it is more convenient, more efficient and more stable. The commands to interface with it have changed, so don't expect the old Arem IM code to be compatible with it.

Purpose.(Posted 2005-04-08)
I wrote Arem IM and Arem IM 2.0 a while back, and given some recent developements, I think it would be a good idea to continue developing it. AIM has completely abandoned privacy (read their new terms of service.) AIM and MSN have also been becoming increasingly bogged down. And anyone who has used either of these networks knows of the rampant bloating generally referred to as "features." The purpose of Arem IM 3.0 will be simple. Create a pleasant looking, simple text messaging system that can connect to a default server, or be used as a private messaging system for an office or group of friends. A mockup of the GUI can be found at arem.us/stuff/mockup.jpg.
