Hope everyone enjoyed my rambling about the Jabber IM project and the many tangents the discussion took from there. Also, were ya'll able to revive that RedHat 6.1 install? I forgot the name of the person who brought the PC in to be revived. Please, ma'am, could you e-mail me or the list and let me know how it is working? Again, a big thanks to those people who stayed and helped to fix the RedHat 6.1 partition problem. I drew a big ole blank when confronted with it. Probably bad memories from a Linux install fiasco at previous meeting. Hey John B! :) Also, we have a new member, Shannon Roddy, who found us at Coates after figuring out that the meeting was not going to be at Bluebonnet! :) Shannon is a System Administrator at the Livingston LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), where they use Linux(!) on many back-end servers. If you don't know much about LIGO, definitely check em out: http://www.ligo-la.caltech.edu/. They are trying to prove a prediction by Einstein about the existence of gravity waves, which is pretty dang cool if you ask me. You might also be interested to know that LIGO is looking to hire a Linux expert! So polish off those resumes and send em to [EMAIL PROTECTED] All in all, it was a fun meeting. John Hebert ps: Oh, yeah. I wanted to make sure I corrected myself for providing some some bad info to you during the meeting. During the presentation, I pointed to some examples of Jabber messages being sent and received on the server. I mistakenly referred to them as "namespaces" when I _knew_ they were actually XML tags. I get pretty excited by XML sometimes, so please forgive me. XML namespaces are more like attributes of a tag. Here is an example from the Jabber Programmer's Guide on how a client asks about the capabilities of a server agent: Example 9-1. Client Request For Agent <iq type="get" id="1001" to="icq.denmark"> <query xmlns="jabber:iq:agent"/> </iq> Example 9-2. Agent Reply <iq type="result" id="1001"> <query xmlns="jabber:iq:agent"> <name>ICQ Service</name> <url><a href="http://denmark/services/icq/</url">http://denmark/services/icq/</url</a>> <description> This is the ICQ Service for connecting to ICQ users. </description> <transport>ICQ #</transport> <register/> <service>icq</service> <search/> </query> </iq> The 'xmlns="jabber:iq:agent"' part above is an example of an XML namespace. See http://docs.jabber.org/jpg/html/main.html#XMLNAMESPACES for the authoritative definition. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
