Universal Router

zby — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 21:52:25 GMT

I am thinking about writing a kind of web configurable gateway between IM, email and RSS. The user would define inputs and outputs and routing between them. For the start this could be usefull for those that have IM at home, but cannot use it when at work, they would just define as input their IM account and when at work they would route it to their email. What do you think about this idea?

Tribe.net Chat Server...

brian — Mon, 29 Nov 2004 22:55:28 GMT

Hello fellow Jabberheads-

I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that Tribe currently has a jabber server up and running, that uses the tribe user database and password authentication to create sessions. All you have to do is set your "TribeChat handle" (do this on the Personal tab of the profile pages) and then point your jabber client to:

Username: <handle>@maitai.tribe.net
Password: <your tribe password>

Your friend list is broken into 2 parts - those friends of yours who have set their TribeChat handle, and those who have not. We are using the openim server, which is a Java implementation of the XMPP protocol. So far it has been up for a couple weeks, but has not seen any real load. Feel free to log on and try it out.

Favourite Clients

So, under Linux, far and away the best client I've used is Gabber. And under Windows I really like Psi. What have any of you used and enjoyed?

Friend-Of-A-Friend over Jabber

Thomas — Sun, 11 Apr 2004 01:06:03 GMT

Googling turns up a lot of references to Tribe.net using FOAF with Jabber, but there's no direct reference I can find.

Does anyone else know if there's something in the works?

I'd be very interest to hear if someone is doing this, as I'm currently writing my dissertation on trust networks over XMPP.

jabber on slashdot

IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/05/0226233&tid=215&tid=95&tid=185&tid=8

And a very disturbing comment:

"XMPP Still Broken (Score:5, Interesting)
by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday October 05, @03:38AM (#10437306)
XMPP has a serious design flaw in that it does not implement a framing protocol that helps the software that parses the protocol to separate messages. This might not be an obvious problem to the casual programmer, but if you are going to make scalable implementations that can multiplex thousands of connections, this is a very serious problem indeed.

I'll give an example:

Imagine the HTTP protocol for persistent connections. Let's imagine for a moment that all HTML instances are well formed and that the only other file type to be transferred is JPEG images. Now imagine that responses came without HTTP headers describing the nature of the response as well as the size. Content-length is really important. It dictates the amount of processing the software needs to do to determine when it has read a whole element of the protocol. This is an _IO_ operation and you snould NOT have to parse during pure IO.

Jabber Adoption

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 16:52:15 GMT

So, of course Jabber is the best IM on the face of the planet. But what are some quick and easy ways to force greater adoption? I'm hoping that due to the recent actions by Yahoo and MSN to only allow their own clients to connect, that maybe some people will get frustrated with those bigger name services.
