The XMPP Client State Transition Diagram I created last December was featured on blog.xmpp.org.

Diagram for XMPP connection
One of the most difficult part when developping a new XMPP client is the connection mechanism workflow. Tim Bielawa has drawn a state transitions diagram that might be very helpful to thousands of developpers worldwide.

Now that’s pretty exciting! I hope some one else may find it useful.

Macports updates their Erlang version, update your load-path’s

I’ve been working on my XMPP server pet project recently, and the need for a good Erlang XML parser has finally struck. I decided to go with Erlsom. It’s in MacPorts, so from there I installed it. Now, since I don’t update my port tree frequently I get delightful surprises from time to time. This time installing Erlsom triggered an update of Erlang, to the latest version!

Short story shorter, the update changes the path to the erlang-mode.el file so before you can M-x erlang-mode again you’ll have you fix your Emacs load-path to register the new location. (See my older post on how to initially set up Erlang and Emacs from MacPorts from scratch)

The new load commands should be:

(setq load-path (cons  "/opt/local/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.6.5/emacs/" load-path))
(setq erlang-root-dir "/opt/local/lib/erlang")
(setq exec-path (cons "/opt/local/bin" exec-path))
(require 'erlang-start)

It just requires changing the tools-x.x.x to 2.6.5.

p.s. about erlang-mode
