Perl Module: Net::ICQ::On - ICQ Online Tester v1.11, 15 Mar 10
Download Net-ICQ-On-1.11.tar.gz - This program has not yet been fully tested but has passed standard tests at CPAN.
Download Net-ICQ-On-1.10.8.tar.gz - This old program does not function.

This program is due to be re-released, as a Java Bean to run on webservers.

ICQ Online Tester; Check whether any ICQ user is online or not, returns 1 for online or 0 for offline.  Registered at CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::ICQ::On;

my $Online=Net::ICQ::On->Test(<ICQ No./>);

my $Online=Net::ICQ::On->Test(555456789);
print "My ICQ number is ";
if ($Online==1) { print "<span style=\"color: green;\">555456789</span>.\n"; }
else { print "555456789.\n"; }

DESCRIPTION

This module tests the online state of any ICQ user and returns 1 for online or 0 for offline.

Features:
* No ICQ account is necessary,
* No ICQ server login is necessary.

These make it simple and quick to return the result.

It downloads the smallest ICQ online gif and analyses it to determine the online state of the user.

It was designed to replace the large ICQ flower GIF that ICQ promotes as an online test suitable for webpages because the standard GIF didn't fit into the footer of the webpage it was required for.  This was coded initially for the Dream ƒrequency website and then developed into a useful Perl module registered at CPAN.

Example uses:
* In xhtml, see above example, on a homepage to display your ICQ number in green if you're online or in the default colour if you're offline,
* As an interface for ICQ cam live support,
* As an interface for ICQ messaging,
* To redirect email to ICQ if the recipient is online.

This program may be re-released, as freeware in Java to run on all computers in the standard ƒrequency editions: computer, mobile and web.

Pro ƒrequency Uptime Clock was created to display a clock of a computer's uptime, before Microsoft added it to Windows with Vista.  See Windows Vista or 7, then open Windows Task Manager, Windows help says "You can also open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then clicking Start Task Manager", then goto the Performance tab and it is displayed under System:Up Time.  We noticed this possibility first in Miklos' AIDA32 the sysinfo utility.  ƒrequency here seeing a use for a technology and implementing a solution early.

Display of the amount of time since your computer was booted.  This is called the uptime.  The display is precise to the second.  Windows GUI clock version available from Download.com, "Precise information... worth evaluating," Download.com Editor's Review.
http://www.download.com/ #Uptime-Clock/3000-2094-10450928.html

Find out if your computer has been running for 2 days, 10 hours or you have just turned it on.  Windows counts the number of milliseconds since it was last booted (started).  This application reads that count, then turns it into time on a 24hour clock and in kiloseconds.  This interesting Windows feature was discovered as a static display in AIDA32, the system info application.
