Goodbye Chat I
|
Posted at 08:09 EST
|
The old chat system has finally given out. The system that we have been using for chat was developed quickly (in two days) to provide a temporary chat service for the site. That temporary service ended up slugging away for us for over a year!
Today it became obvious that it was time to retire that hard working (too hard working on the server!) system and accelerate the introduction of the new chat system.
I am currently hoping to have a basic version the new chat server up by next week. The retirement of the old chat happens to coincide with the planned development of the "NaviChat" based chat system which was slated to begin this week. |

Journals Almost Ready for Testing
|
Posted at 11:22 EST
|
After running into a couple of the always-to-be-expected snags, I think I am almost ready to release the journals for public use.
I have spent time in the last couple few hours refine "in-line" image editing. This will be a great thing to add to other features of the site so it is easier to add and caption images in board posts or personal messages. |

WhosOnline Work
|
Posted at 18:05 EST
|
 The WhosOnline server in NY The companel went out twice today. This seems to happen when the WhosOnline server (in NY) is not able to contact the site server (in Florida). Since this contact seems to get lost now and then, I am going to try to alter the code so that WhosOnline server does not need to contact its peer so often.
Since work will begin on the foundation for the new NaviChat server this week, the WhosOnline server could get revamped at teh same time.

A New Feature is Born: Personal Journals
|
Posted at 10:25 EST
|
Another feature made it off the drawing board today. Personal Journals are a way for members to post thoughts, ideas, musings or even reports of what they are up to.
In a sense, Personal Journals are like the News feature at groups and cities. If anyone has ever maintained a "blog," then they should have a good understanding of what Personal Journals are.
To polish the feature off, I still need to modify the background graphics and also provide a way for people to upload their own background graphics to customize the look of their personal journals. I also have to create the delete entry link. |
