That’s right, after much wrangling this site’s WordPress server also hosts an XMPP channel, powered by Prosody!
If you don’t know what XMPP is, it’s an XML-based messaging protocol used in lots of commercial and government communication systems. I decided to use the Prosody source in particular since it’s well-regarded from my research.
I’ve enabled open account creation for now, so with a similar client you could log on and reach me!
# Run the following in bash to get my username
# Blame text-scraping scripts that look for emails
# by abusing Regular Expressions
user=me
domain=johncre.ws
echo ${user}@${domain}A list of known clients is available here to download on whatever device you’re reading on, I’m personally using blabber.im on my phone, and pidgin on my desktop.
