[IAEP] article about Sugar in Wired magazine

[Russell Brown]

Ah, That was me.

There is no zealot like a recent convert, eh?

I'm wondering about the practicality of the EC2 ejabberd server too!!!  
So far the big problem is configuring the sugars each time a new  
instance is used...the whole restart after setting the jabber server  
address is a pain. And the typing. So I am trying with dynamic dns  
this week to see if that is any better.

I plan to release my AMI as public and I'll post on the list when it  
is ready. Hopefully by the end of next week. But the whole idea of  
hitting a button and waiting 2 minutes and having a collaboration  
server up and running appeals to my inner geek.

It is just a pet project that I dream of somehow making a few quid off.

Thanks for the comments, get in touch if you have any ideas for me :D

Cheers

Russell
