Today's the day I said I'd be ditching AIM, so now I'm doing it. If you'd like to IM me, catch me on IRC or XMPP/Jabber.

Following in the footsteps of others, I'll be moving exclusively to Jabber/XMPP starting May 19th, 2008 (Open Discussion Day).

If you aren't using Jabber/XMPP yet and want to start, it might be easier than you thought.

If you have a Gmail account, download their Google Talk client and you can message me.

There's a bunch of organizations participating in the IM Federation (as well as Pyxos.net). You can sign up for an account with many of the organizations' servers. If you would like an account at any of Pyxos' domains feel free to contact me.

Tonight I was able to get ejabberd up and running on Argo. I had to use the Fedora 7 package for now until I work out co-maintainership on the ejabberd package in EPEL, but it seems to be running fine.

I imported all the "major" domains - nivek.ws, pyxos.net, silfreed.net, and thtech.net. What I didn't import were some "legacy" jabberd.blah.net domains. I'm not sure if anyone was using these, but my guess is that they weren't. If you were or knew someone that was, please let me know and we'll figure something out.

At any rate, ejabberd seems to be working fine. We'll really get a test next week when people on other servers log in and I can see if s2s works properly.
