November 11, 2017 by Mike

In 2002, I received “The Worst Present Ever”, and turned it into an epic saga.

Extremely South

November 8, 2017 by Mike

I attempted to walk to the southernmost point of the Australian mainland. Spoiler warning: I made it there and back again.

Extreme Points of Australia and Me

September 6, 2017 by Mike

About ten years ago, I decided to visit as many of the extreme points of Australia for the hell of it. September 4th 2017 is the date that I finally made it to one.

An Interview With Me

October 20, 2016 by Mike

I don’t update my personal blog much these days, do I? I keep posting everywhere else but here, it’s not that nothing ever actually happens to me. I got interviewed on SYN last week about how I came to end up running Mad Dog Comedy and a bunch of other stuff though. Here’s that!

XMPP Perfection

June 5, 2015 by Mike

I just came across a post titled In search of XMPP perfection while researching some stuff, and it’s a pretty solid set of words that gels with my own feelings about the state of the XMPP network. You should go and read it if you’re interested in the topic of XMPP services, and if you’re following my blog I sincerely hope you are, or you’re going to get really bored.

ChinWag Lives

May 13, 2015 by Mike

I’m going to draw a line under the ChinWag development blog at this point and say “phase one complete”. I have a working XMPP server, it’s cost very little money, it’s got a nice-looking site and a web chat client or two for ease of use for users if they can’t install software.

ChinWag – First Draft

May 12, 2015 by Mike

It’s a long way from ready, but it’s nice to see the project really starting to take shape. More development posts to come, of course. Amazing what you can do these days with just a handful of free stock photography, an off-the-shelf theme and a quiet evening at home. Yes, I know the text is hard … [Read more …]

Jappix, Prosody and Nginx

May 11, 2015 by Mike

Installing Jappix on our little baby XMPP server is a very quick win in a lot of ways. In one hit we get a web-based front end to registration so we can eventually disable/redirect In-Band Registration if we want, we get a basic web presence we can refer people to, and we get a known-working XMPP client to refer end-users with difficulties to for sanity checking.

Conferences, Rooms, MUCs … What?

May 6, 2015 by Mike

I was originally going to write a post on setting up Jappix before covering MUC configuration, but changed my mind. It’ll be good to have a working chat room to join when we test Jappix, and there are some other components and services we need to revisit DNS for around then, so let’s avoid doing that part twice and just get our conferences up.
