Set your Google Talk status to "IDLE" at all times

Being "Invisible" on Google Talk is a good way to stay away from everyone when you are online, but do not want to be disturbed. But what if you want to be visible when someone important has to contact you, but at the same time you don't want to be disturbed by others?

www.galwaysidle.com has come up with a solution for this. You can set your Google Talk status to "Always Idle" or "Never Idle". All you need to do is install the setup, start your Google Talk desktop client, right click it and choose your setting.

The gAlwaysIdle website does not seem to work, but here is an alternative link for the gAlwaysIdle Setup.

Hi Dillan. The error you have mentioned is just a webpage that opens after the installation is complete. galwaysidle.com (the website) seems to have some error, or they have shut it down. But your application is installed, right click on the "Google Talk" icon in your system tray and you will see the "Idle" options you are looking for.
