Objective:
Create a simple bot that handles events from AOL instant messenger and is able to be manipulated at runtime.

Projects utilized:
JabberD 1.4.3
AIM Transport 20040131.b
PHP 5
Class.Jabber.PHP 0.4.2
PostgreSQL 7.4.7

Outcome:
Success, it was up and running within 10 minutes. The JabberD and AIM-t infrastructure was already in place from one of my previous projects. I needed to do some discovery of the Jabber class, due to lack of documentation; I'm not happy with its desgin overall. But this project proves how easy it is to make IM agents.
