Wildfire

16 09 06 - 23:13 Wildfire is an awesome jabber server. It's Java based, and I initially went for jabberd2 because it was written in C, and I thought it would be much more efficient. Damn, was I wrong. Jabberd2 + Berkeley DB = unstable mess. Fast, but unstable.

Compiling jabberd2 + mysql was a complete mess too. Somehow, it messed with OpenSSL - every time I compiled in mysql, SSL would break. Every time I didn't compile in mysql, SSL would work. Go figure...

Wildfire worked completely out of the box with mysql. Works very well. And the web config interface is awesome - adding plugins is so easy. You just browse through them, hit the + button, and it's installed right in front of you. Really cool.

I just got the presence plugin working. So that means:

Jabber me at gm@stackunderflow.com:

My status is:

Or the Pismo, now living (wardriver@stackunderflow.com):

On my Palm TX (gm-palm@stackunderflow.com):

Well, this is enough for now... except for one thing.

253 on WiGLE!
