Jabber set up

| | Comments (1)

I have set up a jabber server on gigo.com, for users of gigo.com.

If your web site and email both are located on gigo.com, you can log into jabber as username@domain.name using your regular email password. Only valid email addresses will work. You an use any of your working email aliases.

If your web site is not hosted here, but your email account is, you can use loginname@gigo.com with your gigo.com password.

Notes to self, and for anyone else who cares..

Update 1/1/2008: Contact me to enable your account on jabber. I'll copy your email password and enable your access.

This script will read a file (or raw character device, such as /dev/rdisk0 on a mac), looking for read errors. It tries to work in large chunks to reduce the system call overhead, but will bring itself down to 512 byte blocks to accurately report how far into the (file or disk) the read errors are happening. It also reports on slow reads (>3 seconds).

Good stuff - http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/ . Lets you share more than just people's drop boxes.. and all it does is manage the built in server daemon (it doesn't actually run any new daemons).
