Today I’ll be giving an interview to radio fsk, hamburg. The topic is about twitter and openmicroblogging.

The live broadcast calls itself Nerdalert and will start [...]

A quick one: Just uploaded JabberHTTPBind 1.1.1. It contains a little fix for a problem with connections using DNS SRV records (like connecting to gmail.com).
Just had an update of jwchat.org to the latest version from CVS. Problems with Firefox3 not working correctly should be gone now. Please make reports here if you’re still discovering any issues!
