Jabber Server and Idle Improvement

I pushed out some code tonight that replaces the previous idle monitoring, and improves monitoring for the few occasions when Gtalk does not tell us that a user has logged off.

Included in this push should be some improvements to the caching of various parts of Hab.la live chat, which should primarily make it easier to signup for hab.la when you go through the wizard out of order.

The whole team attended TECH cocktails Ann Arbor last Friday, I am sure we’ll have an update for you soon about that. There are a bunch of exciting things going on here. We’ll keep you posted.

Auto Away on Idle and more

There haven’t been too many blog posts recently, as we’ve been primarily been working on the architecture behind new features, but I thought I’d keep you guys up to date.

Today I rolled out auto-away for Hab.la users. The Hab.la window will now automatically go away if your instant messaging client reports you as idle for 15 minutes. Why 15 minutes? Because 15 minutes seemed reasonable, in the future we will definitely make this a user configurable option, but we think it’s a great step in the right direction.

So you no longer have to fear about appearing available if you forget to put up an away message and walk away from your computer. Just another feature made faster with MemCacheD :-)
