Send photos using XIM!

Yep, you can now take photos and send them to other XIM users now!

Note that this is in very-very-very-extremely beta, so if you find any problems, please let me know, and read the following carefully:

  1. For now, you can only take photos using your webcam. I am working on uploading files from your computer.
  2. Images are reduced to 320x240 to save processing time on XIM Server. This will be increased in the future.
  3. Do not refresh the page or sign off while transferring a photo! XIM should alert you when the connection is interrupted, but in some rare cases, it might get stuck and you might need to refresh the page in order to send a new photo.
  4. If you have a webcam splitting software, XIM might not recognize your webcam. Please disable it before transferring photos.
  5. If the poor server can’t handle it, I might temporarily have to disable photo transfers while I rewrite XIM Server Software.

If you haven’t gotten it yet, go to the XKit control panel and make sure your XIM version is 3.1 Rev A. Update manually if necessary.

If you find some bugs, please let me know by sending me an ask!

XIM 2.7 Rev A

XIM 2.7 is now available on XKit servers, so you can get it by clicking on the Update button on your control panel.

This version brings notifications sounds for when you get a new message, or when a user becomes online/offline, made by pageofmelody (who has really neat 8-bit music on his blog btw!).

If you are one of those people who don’t like beeping computers, you can turn off notification sounds from the control panel.

XIM Update 1.6

This version of XIM brings some new features:

  • Ability to block messages from people who are not on your buddy list.
  • Ability to limit XIM to only load on your dashboard. (This is enabled by default so you might want to turn it off to use your sideblogs.)
  • Turn on/off the flashing “New XIM” message on titlebar
  • Status icons on message windows
  • Help & Status button added to sidebar

I’m working on the overload problem on the server and hopefully there won’t be much downtime by this time next week.
