Since last week, I finally can use my own domain name as jabber domain Yay! Thanks to http://jabber.apinc.org public free server, I used some DNS SRV records, and with the agreement of server owners let them handle my domain.
Now, the boring phase begins, I have to tell all my contacts to use the new XMPP screen name instead of the old @gmail.com one I was using before. The fact is I have *a lot* of contacts, even some of them which I don't really talked to. But they are all people I know, I like, or I work with, so I can't afford to loose some of them.

So, what about a bit of automation?

Let's start with the XMPP client I use, Pidgin. What's nice with pidgin, it's libpurple, and its D-Bus interface.
