5 minute disruption to instant messenger 7am - 9am, Tue 10 July.

There will be a short 5 minute disruption to the instant messenger service Jabber between, 7am and 9am on Tuesday 10 July 2012.

Some clients will auto-reconnect, however, if connection does not occur after a 15 minute period or if you are still disconnected after 9am, you should check your connection.

This downtime is during our 'at risk'* period and is essential maintenance to install a new certificate that will remove warnings produced in a number of chat clients.
