Hi
I have just found out that JabberD is portable !
All I had to do is copy the cygwin1.dll into the jabberd folder !
Background:
I work as an IT consultant on customer sites, hence my dependance on portable apps !
It's quite common for me and my colleagues to be spread through a building using "spare" desks. Now I can run JabberD on my desktop and we can use portable GAIM to chat to each other.
This is not dependant on an external internet connection.
Only problem I see is when the jabberd moves to a new pc everyone has to re-register as the "host" has changed, not such a big deal.

Smart idea. Any reason you prefer Jabber to IRC?
Absolutely no reason.
I had been reading an article about Jabber ages ago and installed it on my laptop to play with it.
I was desperate for diskspace today and "found" it again, then had a lightbulb moment.
The desparation of being 1 flight of stairs and 2 security doors away from my team !

Jabber and IRC are completely different chat mediums. Jabber is an open-source chat medium targetting user to user while IRC is a chat medium targetting multi-user discussions.
