What is Megaphone?

What is Megaphone?
The Megaphone project is about enhancing open source chat software. Specifically, the goal is to allow ejabberd to support 1,000,000 simultaneous users. See The Plan page for more details on how I plan to solve this problem. See the About this Blog page for more details on why I created this blog.

Don't Start the Party Quite Yet

Previously...
  • I created comments for the megaphone module.
  • I created comments for the megaphone_receiver module.
  • I created comments for the megaphone_sender module.

First a shout out to Italy, which in addition to inventing Chianti, have fostered a number of people of very good taste, as demonstrated by their visiting this site.  I'm not saying that they taste good or endorsing cannibalism, just that they really know their sites; along with the Russians.

Anyhow, right when I was really looking forward to testing out the system while wired up to ejabberd, I ran into a few minor technical glitches.  These manifested themselves in compile time errors that I did not clean up yesterday when I was finishing up with my code clean-up.

The many people who read this blog, though they consist mostly of people I bribe along with the few who think that if they visit the site they have a chance to win a new laptop or something (you don't but if I ever sell out completely and start doing adds, then I might get one), my plans to begin testing using ejabberd will have to wait another day.  I am hoping that this will be the start of many angsty posts about how depressed I am over the delay and blah, blah, this and whine whine that.  But the changes were minor enough that tomorrow I shouldn't have any excuses to hide behind.  

Now is the time for people who actually follow this blog to mail in suggestions about how to put that wretched time off or, if you are of a more optimistic bent, you can send in ideas or exhortations about this will just make these more challenging.

If nobody bothers to write in I will be forced to create some made up feedback which I always feel momentarily bad about but not being tremendously proud gives me an advantage.  Then there's always the possibility that I will actually do something relevant to the project.

I tells ya, the excitement is getting palpable...
