tools : editplus, jymsg, pircbot, winscp, putty

since channel users on IRC chat room ( on server students.ittelkom.ac.id:6667 )getting fewer, this thing come up in my head, why don’t I just pull off the user who’s using Yahoo messenger to join channel without having to use IRC client, just yahoo messenger. Then I started googling and found that what I need is combining these two java APIs,  jymsg and pircbot API.

As you can see from screenshot above, user who’s using YM can send message to channel and user on channel can also send their message to YM users.
this gateway i called students2ym  and to join channel #students on students.ittelkom.ac.id from Yahoo Messenger, just add YM id :  students2ym
