Registration Update
To all of you who have registered for comments, and gave a non-gmail.org XMPP id, you should be receiving new ‘buddy’ requests from an ID I just obtained from jabber.org. For those who have already sold your souls to the big G, you will be unaffected, but for everybody else the messages will route around the Google complex.
Basically, I’m operating on the assumption that Google either does now, or may at their option at any point in the future, track your XMPP messages. So, at some time Wednesday-ish, I plan to split my outgoing message streams.
Update: done.
[Note: I’m just having fun here. The data being sent is all public, but the knowledge that you are subscribed here is just between you and me and St. Peter, mmmkay?]
Oh, and I’ve also added new posts into the stream, so there now is a registration option to subscribe to these too.
