Moving on Up...chat style

Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)is moving up in the world - GoogleTalk is now doing group chat; and Facebook's latest chat client is XMPP based. Good to see our little open source hero making its way in the world!

While you were out...

Dean and I have been on the road a lot lately, and we are woefully behind on blogging. In the meantime, our friends have been keeping quite busy:

• Our friend Mike and his cat were on NPR talking about global warming.
• Simon started a new blog (although I think its just a ploy to get two entries on our blog roll...)
• Mikal published a book on MythTV.
• Alan got upgraded to first class. next thing you know, he'll have an entourage with him for all trips.
