===Week 2 (1st-7th June)===
A slack week unfortunately (or rather, a very not slack week on my thesis).
I saw Julian's post about a link tracker, so I fixed up the interface enough to write my first plugin.
Excerpt from my blog:
* Well, I read [http://missig.org/julian/blog/2006/05/29/idea-im-link-history/ Julian's blog entry about a link history] for im clients, rather like those IRC users have been enjoying for years and I thought "Hey, that'd make a great Psi plugin. Now, if only Psi had plugin support.". Of course, some moments later I remembered my Summer of Code project to write a plugin interface for Psi. I hastily implemented a few more functions, fixed those I'd recently broken and implemented my first semi-useful Psi plugin. Yes, it's basic. No you can't close the window, you'll never get it back. No, the plugin doesn't know the user's display name and just shows the jid. On the other hand though, no, this is not a mockup, it's working exactly as presented below. So, I give you a screenshot of an early alpha of the URL Watcher plugin for Psi.
