Spectrum Transports updated to v0.1

The Spectrum test transports have now been upgraded to version 0.1 as described and distributed on http://spectrum.im. Now we will test these a few weeks, and if they work good we will remove the Python based transports. Remember that you will have to re-register on the transport at that time.

Have a nice easter!

Update: Recently Spectrum was upgraded to version 0.2 :)

New Certificate and Ejabberd 2.1.3

The new certificate has been installed, and in the process I also upgraded to latest Ejabberd version, currently at 2.1.3. Soon I will also look at the Spectrum transports to see if development has imrpoved these too.

Have a nice weekend and soon easter! :)

SSL Cert Expired

The SSL certificate has expired and we are in the process of getting a new one in place. Sadly this is taking some time due to manual verification and actions on my side.

The lateness of this fix is a direct result of a mildly overworked sys-admin, very sorry about this! :)

Upgraded to Ejabberd 2.1.0

We have upgraded to ejabberd 2.1.0, albeit a longer downtime window than expected. In any case the upgrade has been done and we are now running on the newest version of ejabberd. There is some new possibilities in this version that we will explore and maybe use to extend the service.

We had a bit of a problem with database conversion that we need to address, but I have configured a workaround that should work stable. When we fix this permanently there will be another bit of downtime I am afraid.

The Spectrum transports are now running stable the last couple of days. For some time we had some unstable code in committed by the developers. This has now been rolled back and things seems to be more stable and mature. Soon this will become the preferred transport solution for Jabber Norway and the old transports will be shut down.

Downtime Today

TDC Song which is the hosting centre this server is placed in had downtime on the routing today because of a router upgrade that went terribly wrong. This resulted in downtime all of today since last night.

Very sorry about trouble because of this.

Spectrum Transports

Some of you might have noticed that we have some new transports in the service discovery list. These will be unstable and is not reccomended for daily use yet. We have just tested the Facebook transport briefly (seems to work ok), but rumors say that the others should also work fine.

For more information please see www.spectrum.im.

Yahoo transport test

I have just added the latest CVS version of the Yahoo transport and it seems to be working from my initial tests. Please have a look at it and report findings. To make it work I removed all the old registrations on it, so you woul have to re-register the transport on your account.

This is a little beta, so no guarantees! :D

Jabber up again

Finally we found the error and now the service is running again. Since we changed server there might be some small issues still, like the transports that will come soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Service is down

We are currently working to get the service up and running but we do not know what is causing the problems. Will post new information as soon as the service is working again.

Updates to the Service

As the Ubuntu version we are running has expired on support we need to upgrade. Last time we upgraded we had lost of problems so we will install a new installation and reconfigure all services and do a switchover. When the new server is ready we will announce the switch.

We have also been updating the web page to make it more current, and plus the new version of WordPress has excellent plugins for multilanuage content which I have installed. During this phase some web services might not work.
