There is clients for every OS, in all kind of flavors. And with help of an bouncer or using screen you will never lose track of the conversation after being AFK. 

But it has been quite hard to pitch the 23(!) year old protocols to suits and art directors.

Enter Grove, a services that combines the best of both worlds:

Grove provides its users hosting, user accounts, channel access controls, and searchable archives, as well as a swanky Web-based client. But it still allows all the benefits of an open protocol like IRC, so team members can use whatever client app they desire on any device. Grove lists a few recommended apps on different platforms, as well as the easy instructions for connecting, at grove.io/help.

The lousy weather was an great excuse to sleep in… The day has been filled with som adminstrative duties, WordPress (me and Ann is co-hacking a multi-language-multi-site setup for Bonnier Business Publishing) and SEO (working on a long tail strategy with Flygstolen). And yeah, during lunch I finally took myself the time to write a post on Iphone 24.

The morning started a bit earlier than usually but it took exceptional long time to arrive to the office today. Just as I was about to leave home the monitoring alerts started beeping in the phone. Several customer sites suddenly went offline as one of Swedens biggest web hosts, Binero, experienced problems with its SAN causing almost four hours of downtime. When everything finally was up and running I reported to owners of the websites and arrived to KB5 a few minutes after 2 pm.

Slow day at the office trying to upgrade a wordpress plugin to make it comptabile with version 3. Had a strange potato and salomon dinner with Anders Färdigh before he left for some late sunday night adventures.

This is something that I wish I’ve found a few weeks ago…

The jQuery Cycle Plugin is the result of some fine javascript craftsmanship by Mike Alsup (@malsup).

The plugin offer a series of cool, yet easy to use, transition effects for your next web project. It work well both with images and random html!

Check out the demos and be amazed.

when trying to install the freshest version of librtorrent on a vanilla unbutu box  I suddenly got this crazy error:

checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler… no

followed by:

 checking for proper overloaded template function disambiguation… no

configure: error: your compiler does not properly handle overloaded template function disambiguation

Kinda crazy huh? Installing the package ‘g++’ solved the problem.

I use it for pretty much everything: editing html, text files,  code perl and php stuff, but I’ve always missed good perl integration. It has been anoying to switch to a terminal window just to debug perl code when php editing is so swift.

A few days ago I stumbled over Affrus and it was love at first sight.

Affrus offer stepped execution with breakpoints and a whole bunch of advanced features  that I miss from the well built Borland ide’s back in the DOS-days. The registration cost is almost $100 – but I’m happy to pay that when the evaluation period is over!

to play with. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Also – if anyone want a own theme – just mail it to me and I’ll enable it for you after an code audit. An full theme editor or the option to install a theme of your own will just not happend, there is to many security risk with that.
