I guess many of you have heard the news about last.fm and cbs already.

I contacted the boys already but I also want to blog my gratulations to the last.fm team felix, martin, richard and stefan. great job boys. I am really happy you were able to make this such a huge success.

I guess i will write a detailed post about why and how i left last.fm as cofounder at some point soon. For the moment i want to quote Steven Jobs after he left Apple (was kicked out or whatever.. ). He said something along the lines: “I ve lost 100 million dollar last year. That is quite character building.” I could not agree more to Steven Jobs on this one ;-) A journalist asked me today if i am planing to assert a claim against Last.fm. I said to him not even in my dreams. I found peace and happiness in Vorarlberg and i wont let that go for no money and greed in this world ;-)

Jodok, Manfred and I managed to build up a very powerful team with Lovely Systems and we are working on a number of very interesting projects who have the power to become the next last.fm’s.

Lovely Systems is proud to be Silver Sponsor for the 8. DZUG-Tagung taking place between June 4th and 5th at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Berlin.

Thanks, Oliver from

After some trying it was easy to get openfire running with our official GoDaddy Wildcard SSL Certificate :)

Convert your key and cert to DER format (thanks to AgentBob):

• openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in lovelysystems.com.key -inform PEM -out lovelysystems.key.der -outform DER

• openssl x509 -in _.lovelysystems.com.crt -inform PEM -out _.lovelysystems.com.crt.der -outform DER

Get some java utilities to create a java key store (yes java still rosucks, thanks to AgentBob again)

• ImportKey.java, ImportKey.class (Java 5) (local copy)

Create a new keystore (/root/keystore.ImportKey):

• java ImportKey lovelysystems.com.key.der _.lovelysystems.com.crt.der

change the keytool passwords back to the defaults (from ‘importkey’ to ‘changeit’)

• keytool -storepasswd -keystore /root/keystore.ImportKey
• keytool -keypasswd -alias importkey -keystore keystore.ImportKey

Add the GoDaddy Intermediate Certificate:

• wget –no-check-certificate https://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/sf_issuing.crt
• keytool -import -alias intermed -file sf_issuing.crt -keystore /root/keystore -storepass changeit -trustcacerts

Move it to openfire (probably back up the old first) and restart openfire

• mv /root/keystore.ImportKey /opt/openfire/resources/security/keystore
• /opt/openfire/bin/openfire stop
• /opt/openfire/bin/openfire start

In case of errors:

•  tail -f -n 1000 /opt/openfire/logs/error.log
