I’ve been asked several times to talk a bit about how we built Chesspark, how it uses XMPP, and what various lessons we learned along the way. This is way too much for a single blog post, so I’ll be doing a small series of them on Chesspark’s design. To kick things off, let’s discuss why someone would want to build a game system on top of XMPP in the first place. Why XMPP? It ...

It appears as though something broke with Google Talk’s servers recently. Reports are coming in of sudden TLS negotiation failures. Fabio claims that older versions of OpenSSL are at fault, but Ralph suspects that something changed at Google. Specifically this means Twisted Python and Wokkel code won’t work with Google Talk (hosted or otherwise). I’m sure other clients are affected as well, but I haven’t seen many other reports of this. There are work arounds, ...

Seth from the Yahoo Fire Eagle team e-mailed me today about Poetry, our XMPP commandline tools project. It seems that Seth has been thinking along the same lines, and he has created switchboard, a similar tool written in Ruby. It appears switchboard is a little farther along than Poetry. Check out the README file for usage examples. The more tools the merrier I say.

When Bayer introduced aspirin in 1899, cannabis was America’s number one painkiller. Until marijuana prohibition began in 1937, the US Pharmacopoeia listed cannabis as the primary medicine for over 100 diseases. Cannabis was such an effective analgesic that the American Medical Association (AMA) argued against prohibition on behalf of medical progress. Since the herb is extremely potent and essentially non-toxic, the AMA considered it a potential wonder drug. Instead, the invention of aspirin gave birth ...

Pedro was trying to convince me this week that ejabberd needs an HTTP backend. This would allow anyone to substitute a backend of their choice very easily, without having to code an ejabberd module in Erlang. It would be easy enough to make an HTTP server wrapper on top of any kind of database you wanted. I wasn’t entirely convinced at first, but as we talked about it more, we decided a CouchDB backend would ...

The Mars Phoenix said goodbye last week. It's very sad, like the end of Wall-E. Publicly, the Mars Phoenix was sent to study the planet's water history and whether it could have ever supported life. But we've all seen enough sci-fi movies involving the government to know that there's probably more to it than that, especially if Tommy Lee Jones is involved. So, use Photoshop to show us what the Mars Phoenix really discovered that ...

Groundbreaking web-based email was not sufficient. Embedded instant messaging was not enough. Google Talk voice chat was too “old-fashioned.” Never satisfied with the status quo, the wizards at Google have rolled out a new Voice and Video service and have made Mac users first-class citizens for the new feature. As with the majority of their shiny new toys, Google Voice and Video is not exactly available to everyone just yet, but when it finally is, ...

¡Al fin! Una característica que muchos estábamos esperando. Hace unos minutos han avisado de esta nueva funcionalidad basada en estándares como el XMPP. De momento sólo está disponible desde Gmail, y para poder usarla es necesario instalar un plugin en el navegador.
