Project: Jabber returns
Plan:

I've finally got a Jabber server back up on redundancy, after ages of
it being down due to the fact that there's no Java implementation for
FreeBSD on PowerPC. I wasn't going to run some server written in Erlang
or somesuch nonsense -- I tried once, and it was not a pretty experience
-- and I most certainly won't run such an implementation of such a
complex network service written in C. 

Thankfully, I discovered Prosody http://prosody.im, which is a tiny
and simple XMPP server written in Lua. Had to fix a small thing to make
Lua work in the first place on PPC (-fPIC), but after that, it was
pretty smooth sailing. For people that just run a small server and want
their own XMPP service without the bloatiness of Java and Openfire, I
recommend it.
