Thanks! Initially created this when getting HipChat spun up on AWS. :)

Creator here. Agreed! I don't recall how I decided this was the right domain at the time but I think the rare .info TLD made it easier for people to remember. Can't say I'll be usi…

Hey - ec2instances.info creator here. I only ran this for AWS and am not sure who may have run this Azure version, sorry!

I've found myself using myNoise ( https://mynoise.net ) more than music lately. It has a lot of very high quality natural sound recordings as well as a bunch of synthetic options.

A bit off topic, but it'd be interesting to have a guild for the startup/HN crowd. I've been discussing returning to the game with a few tech friends and joining a like-minded grou…

Blizzard recently released a documentary in celebration of the anniversary: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/16668523/world-of-warcraft%... . It shows some of their design and deve…

Hey everyone - Garret from HipChat here. I'm sorry for the way we presented this information. We definitely should have explained these changes more clearly, because they do NOT me…

I've had success syncing my SublimeText config across machines using homesick ( https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick ), but this looks pretty slick. One issue with syncing …

It's definitely very bursty. On weekends and holidays things are much more quiet. During peak load we'll be in the hundreds/sec. Also keep in mind that chat messages don't actually…

Hey - Garret from HipChat here. That support info is not correct, and I'll investigate. All you need to do is go to the billing admin area and select the option to cancel your paid…

Read you loud and clear. We are split across all 4 US-East availability zones currently, but its true that we are not multi-region - yet.

Fixed now - sorry about that. :)

We're working hard on it. If you'd like to get on the list early, and help us by providing some info, please check here: https://www.hipchat.com/firewall

You don't need to identify as "bot", just send a keepalive message (can be a single space, XMPP ping, whatever) every 60 seconds or so. You can also request no history when joining…

We've been with Atlassian for almost a year now. I hope big initiatives like this Mac app show that we're still working hard on the core product. We've got some great stuff in the …
