After a lot of frustration, reading of documentation and even giving up completely on certain paths of action I finally got Jabber up and running. The “Jabber burnout” as Adian called it was terrible and only now do I feel de-stressed enough to write about it.
I initially setup an installation of jabberd2 as I have [...]
As I previously mentioned, my current task as Infurious system admin is providing the team with a bug/task tracking system, namely Trac.
My initial thought was: “our server runs Ubuntu, this should be easy…â€
I could get Trac running via tracd and I could see that mod_python was working via mod_python.testhandler but the two didn’t [...]

There wasn’t much to the upgrade process: I downloaded and untared the archive and I thought I’d play it smart and copy over my old ninanconfig.xml and it appeared to work, but gave up [...]
Over the past week and a half I’ve been fine-tuning my Mac experience: getting used to the system in general, in particular the keyboard, and building up my arsenal of applications.
I’m not a Unix wizard, but I do make a lot of use of the command-line so I’m enjoying the underlying BSD-goodness of OS X [...]
