CenterICQ and jabber login trouble

I have been using centericq for a little while now (best way to chat using home PC but from a remote location (with ssh)) and have been unable to login into my jabber account. Finally I found a patch and managed to apply it to the source package in the Debian Etch repos. This newly created package is available in my packages link to the right, for anyone else who has had the same trouble.

Unable to input into a screen session

A few times I have lost the ability to input anything in a window of a screen session. I noticed this time it was after hitting CTRL+S. So a quick google resulted in....

When your screen session has started intercepting Ctrl-s (C-s in emacs speak) it is because flow control has been switched on. To switch this back off just do C-a f a few times times until -flow appears at the bottom of your screen session. Problem goes away until next time a rogue keypress switches it back on again. Phew.

I hope that helps someone.
