Title: CouchDB shared calendar

I've posted my version of jchrisa's Calendar CouchApp. It uses the new couchapp framework (evently, CouchDB sessions), CouchDB 0.11.0, and supports timezones, repeat events.

To get it:

 git clone git://shimaore.net/git/cal2.git 

You'll need to download and install CouchApp to use it.

Title: ejabberd configuration for dual-stack (IPv4, IPv6) host

%% Accept connections on the same port on IPv4 and IPv6:
{listen,
 [
  {{5222, "::"}, ejabberd_c2s, [ inet6,
                        {access, c2s},
                        {shaper, c2s_shaper},
                        {max_stanza_size, 524288},
                        starttls, {certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"}
                       ]},
  {{5222, "0.0.0.0"}, ejabberd_c2s, [
                        {access, c2s},

                          ]},
  %% etc.
]}.

%% Try IPv6 first when doing s2s attempts:
{outgoing_s2s_options, [ipv6, ipv4], 10000}.

French for FreeSwitch

After Neuronnexion paid for Philippe Leroy and Sibylle Luperce to record french audio prompts for FreeSwitch, I updated mod_say_fr to match them.

There are more audio files to come, but I need to come up with proper filenames for them. I'll add them to the Archive.org repository at http://www.archive.org/details/FrenchAudioFilesForFreeswitch once this is ready.

We recorded non-France prompts in the archive, like septante, octante, nonante. I don't know the different locales (Belgium, Canada, ...) well enough to be able to do anything useful with them; but if someone does I'll be happy to update mod_say_fr to match. We could for example use a LOCALE channel variable to track the actual locale; this would also allow to use the proper monetary units by default.

ejabberd clustering
I used the excellent notes at the reference article. Here are additional notes for Debian:

• There's no need to modify /usr/sbin/ejabberd or /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl; the only changes should be in /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg and /etc/default/ejabberd
• I did "su ejabberd" instead of doing the testing under root (probably better, this way the database gets created with the proper userid). Also I only had to copy the .erlang.cookie file to /var/lib/ejabberd, no need to copy it under /root this way.
• The proper command to start erl (at step 4 on the second server) is then:

  erl -sname ejabberd@jabber2 -mnesia dir \"$HOME\" \
      -mnesia extra_db_nodes "['ejabberd@jabber1']" \
      -s mnesia
  

  (assuming jabber1 and jabber2 are the servers' short names)
• In /etc/default/ejabberd, the proper syntax is:

  ERL_OPTIONS="-mnesia extra_db_nodes ['ejabberd@jabber1'] -s mnesia"
  

  Extra double-quotes kept me busy for a while.

Also the primary server is the one where the web UI should be used; the other one(s) replicate the database.

Here's my complete /etc/default/ejabberd on jabber1:

SMP=auto
ERLANG_NODE=ejabberd

Here's my complete /etc/default/ejabberd on jabber2:

SMP=auto
ERL_OPTIONS=" -mnesia extra_db_nodes ['ejabberd@jabber1'] -s mnesia "
ERLANG_NODE=ejabberd

(If I get time I might rewrite this article into complete instructions using the reference article as a basis.)

Bad Robot

Building on the example script in AnyEvent::XMPP I built a small robot which can send messages to either an individual user or a jabber chat room, from either stdin or a fifo. We use this at work to get alerts into a chat room we use for support activities.

Update: a more complex solution is used as the main driver for xmpp-agent.pl in CCNQ2.0
