=========================
Tool of the year: BitlBee
=========================

:Description:
    Kore pointed me to a tool called BitlBee. Imagine that I am currently
    connected to 4 IRC networks and I am using Gaim for Jabber and ICQ. While
    Gaim is quite satisfying, it disturbs, that you have 2 communication
    clients online. Beside that, it disturbs me, that I have 1 tab per
    conversation open in gaim. On my server already runs a bouncer to allow me
    to keep me connected t my networks while I'm offline with my client.

`Kore`__ pointed me to a tool called `BitlBee`__. Imagine that I am currently
connected to 4 IRC networks and I am using `Gaim`__ for `Jabber`__ and
`ICQ`__. While Gaim is quite satisfying, it disturbs, that you have 2
communication clients online. Beside that, it disturbs me, that I have 1 tab
per conversation open in gaim. On my server already runs a bouncer to allow me
to keep me connected t my networks while I'm offline with my client.

Ok, now I'll have `BitlBee`__ running. BitlBee is a tiny daemon, that converts
your instant messanger connections to IRC connections. Actually you are the
connecting to a (local) IRC server, which is capable of handling your instant
messanger connections. You then have a single IRC channel on that server, that
shows all of your available instant messenger buddies as channel members. If
you highlight 1 of those, he will receive the message. If you don't highlight
anybody, you can send commands to the server.

That allows me to have all of my messaging buddies in 1 interface and to use
the commands I'm already used to for any instant conversion. **Fabulous!**
