Today I hit the move button to move jabber.co.nz to its’ new server
I’ve changed transports from py-transports to spectrum, so hopefully things will work a bit better, plus the server is bigger better fast.
Downtime should be limited to DNS ttl, so about an hour maybe?
Let me know if anything is awry.
Paul.
There was a minor outage this morning due to an upgrade to the jabber server software (ejabberd)
I’ve had so many spammer (real people spammers I reckon)_ sign up I have disabled user authentication.
I hate spammers .. they have wrecked the internet.
If you are a real person, and want an account, drop me an email (paul[a]loudas.com) or IM me at paul@jabber.yeahnah.co.nz or squeak me http://squeak.im/terminaladdict
A quick reboot today after a kernel update on Debian Lenny
Fancy an new communications method?
Don’t like the fail whale ?
How about the new alternative “Open micro blogging”
I’ve launched a new service called Squeak.im
It operates similarly to xmpp where there is no “central server” but messages are router between micro blogging service providers.
Go on .. give a try 
I really should start planning my outages 
Today I:
Upgraded the kernel on the vmware HOST machine (hoot.mgmt.loudas.com)
Upgraded the kernel on the upstream router (bumblebee.velocitynetworks.co.nz)
Upgraded vmware to the latest version (I’ve been putting this off)
took a while (vmware is a pig to upgrade) .. but all is well now
Paul.
Just a quick reboot of the server due to kernel updates
So I bought jabber.co.nz this week 
This is a fun game I’m playing.
I had to restart ejabberd a few times today to get the appropriate ssl certifacte loaded for the new domain.
All done .. rock and roll !!!
