Your Login Now a Google Login

Google is enabling all Google Apps domains (e.g. thenibble.org) to work as authentication for all the services that you would normally need a personal Google account for. This, I think, includes Blogger, Reader, Picasa, and more. Google just posted about this here:

http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/11/ten-times-more-applications-for-google.html

The one thing to be aware of is that if you were previously using your thenibble.org email address as a personal Google account (with Reader, Blogger, etc), you will be prompted the next time you visit one of the applicable services to choose your account. Google assures us that no data will be lost.

For now I have made myself the only "pilot" user of this service. Everyone will be switched over in January 2011 but if you want your account switched sooner, let me know.

Enjoy!

Surf's Up!

Google Wave is available now for Apps and so we now have access to Wave for The Nibble:

http://wave.thenibble.org

It's a handy web-based collaboration app. Basically a glorified white-board in which multiple users can simultaneously collaborate over the Internet. With Wave you can drop-in gadgets to add more features from simple yes/no/maybe polls to mind maps and multi-media.

Enjoy :)

Site Updates

Just wanted to post a quick blurb to point out that I've updated various pages around the site including the email and chat setup pages.

Please let me know if I've missed stuff or if there are any heinous errors.

Moving to Google Apps

I'm in the process of moving email and chat for thenibble.org over to Google Apps. Google will provide the full reliability of their service along with ease of use and maintenance for a personalized domain for free (up to 50 users).

So all mail will be available via mail.thenibble.org and from here you can setup stuff like mail forwarding or IMAP access etc. Currently, your old mail won't be in the new system, but I intend to do a mass migration of existing mail once the new setup has stabalized a little (within the next week or so).

The other part is chat. Users shouldn't need to change much as I've got "jabber.thenibble.org" pointing to the new server, but these are Google's instructions:

http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=49147

But as I mentioned, "jabber.thenibble.org" points to the right place so where you provide the Jabber server on the advanced tab, you can use either talk.google or jabber.thenibble.

We're still shaking everything out like group chat and that kind of stuff, so I guess it will be a bit of a work-in-progress.

End of nibble.bz

After several years of getting gouged for the nibble.bz domain name registration, it's finally lapsing and will lapse on October 17th. Many existing services have been switched over to thenibble.org and some stuff like the mail server config and SSL certs need to be changed.

Hmph, I guess there's just not that much to say about this. Just let me know if there's anything on nibble.bz I need to change to thenibble.org.

The Mailing List is Back

Now, send us your credit-card info, and we'll see about getting you off the mailing list.

I've installed Mailman on Alia as the list manager and swapped out the static alias for the nibble, so now nibble@thenibble.org (or whatever domain you'd prefer) goes into mailman so it's got web-based email archives and all that good stuff. It's here for more info:

Nibble Website Moved

The Nibble website has moved from our old domain (nibble.bz) to the new one, thenibble.org. Wordpress should happily redirect any links to the old pages over to the new URL. So until nibble.bz actually goes away, we should be all good.
