Authenticating Ejabberd against a Ruby On Rails database
Notifixious just switched to the EJabberd server for its XMPP capabilities. One of the key point in this migration was the ability to authenticate users with an external script. I won’t go into details here, but this a wonderful thing for Notifixious! Anyway, the ejabberd website gives a certain number of scripts to authenticate users [...]
Hackathon @ SixApart!
I just spent a full day in SixApart offices, here in San Francisco and that was great! As you know, we’re working on several plugins for most of the blogging platforms. Joe who initially helped me with the MovableType plugin has some other projects (understand for which he’s paid) and couldn’t finish it. Bad news [...]
Notifixious Wordpress Plugin!
If you read this, it might be because you’ve received it through your Instant Messager (AIM, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, GTalk, Jabber…), your SMS or your email address!

Switch from Jabber Gateways to Libpurple
This week have been pretty intense!

The users from the early days will notice that we removed some functionalities. That’s true, but 1) less is more and 2) it gives [...]
Notifixio.us : Pre-Alpha, take 2
My blogging frequency is decreasing a lot, but I’ve got a good excuse, I’ve been working like hell the past few weeks. The good news is that I can officially say that Notifixio.us is in private beta again… Once again, I am sorry that it’s been soooo long, but it should be ok now!
Google App Engine
App Engine, c’est le nouveau produit de Google qui vient directement marcher sur les plate-bandes d’Amazon EC2. Sans être un service de virtualisation, Google met à la disposition des developpeurs d’application web une “stack” qui va leur permettre de ne soucier plus que du developpement de leur code et plus de l’infrastructure qu’elle soit logicielle [...]
RailsCasts.com : learning Ruby On Rails
It’s not a secret for anyone, I am using Ruby On Rails to create Notifixio.us . This is actually the first time I use Ruby On Rails. I won’t discuss the pros and cons of RoR, but, for me, it was the most intesting approach!
The fact is that, despite I’m a CS major, It’s been [...]
