IRC and chat night at CPLUG
The theme of tonight’s CPLUG meeting was IRC and chat. There were five different topics covered:
The slides from my presentation are in the gallery if you want to check them out. Please note that after getting some grief last month about my love of black on white slides, I switched it up quite a bit. This time it was white on black! Crazy times my friends, crazy times!
Eric talked about Bitlbee (one of my favorite chatting apps), and was entertaining as usual.
Seth’s Jabber presentation was definitely the most interesting for me. I had no idea that Sun had latched onto XMPP as much as they have, even including Java System Instant Messaging as a standard part of Solaris 10.
In the past Matt and I have played around with setting up a Jabber server or two, but we ended up going with a plain old IRC server that he hosts on his box. It was just easier. So now there’s really no need for me to even try Jabber again, but it does seem like a cool technology.
Some more pictures after the jump…
