Service Update

As you might have guessed, the machine (athena) on which the jabber.org IM service runs is having hardware issues. In fact it is currently being held together with duct tape and string. :) Thankfully, HP has donated a powerful new machine (hermes) for this service. Now we just need to get hermes up and running, install the Debian operating system and the ejabberd IM software, move the jabber.org account data over, and update DNS pointers. That will happen over the next 24 to 48 hours. There may be some outages between now and then. We are not happy about the recent problems and are working hard to stabilize the jabber.org IM service as soon as possible.
