SA emoticons no longer being updated by me

I will no longer be maintaining the SA emoticon pack on digsbies. tweekmonster on SA has redone his auto-updating site that generates SA emoticon packs, and it now includes support for Digsby (along with many other platforms). So, if you want to get the SA emoticon pack, simply go to http://sae.tweek.us/ now instead of [...]

More changes to my SA emoticon packager for Digsby/Pidgin

SA recently updated the layout of their smileys, and as a result, I had to update my automatic emoticon packager so that I can continue maintaining the Digsby SA emoticons.

SA Emoticon Packager Updates

I’ve updated the SA emoticon packager once again. I’ve added functionality to expand it beyond just Digsby. Currently, it generates packages for both Digsby and Pidgin.

More on the Digsby SA emoticon pack, NextHub news

I wrote my own packaging solution in Python for the Digsby SA emoticon package that I’ve been maintaining.  I was previously downloading the Gaim SA emote package from the SA emoticon pack site and modifying it manually to fit Digsby, but it didn’t seem right.  For some reason, the package has way more emoticons [...]
