Connecting to Hyves Kwekker with a Jabber client


Yesterday (or another day, dunno) Hyves launched a chat application called Kwekker. Because I use either Linux or MacOSX I was not able to connect to the server. At least I thought I was!

netstat showed me I was connected to 85.17.63.106 on port 5222. That looked like Jabber to me :-) . I just connected with the following settings:

Use one of these servers:

* chatslave1.hyves.org
* chatslave2.hyves.org
* chatslave14.hyves.org
* chatslave15.hyves.org

Port: 5222
Username: tijmenenski@hyves.nl (my hyves account is tijmenenski.hyves.nl )
Resource: desktopClient
Password: I’m NOT going to tell you!

Login and enjoy!

Google may be buying Digg.com


The son of my grandma’s daughter came to me today and whispered in my ear:

??Hey, can you keep a secret? I just heard Google may be buying Digg.com. This info is 42% accurate!??

This message is posted to see if I can be on the Digg frontpage just like this lame story.
At least seven Diggers think this fake post is a good idea.

And on another note, if Google actually buys Digg.com somewhere in the future, it’s just a coincidence!
