The unofficial Chiff and Fipple Web Chat interface seems to have held up to testing, so let's make it official!
For those unaware, there's a web-based real-time chat feature here now. It's been seeing a bit of use lately, and now it's the
<b><a href="/chat/">Really Official Chiff and Fipple Web Chat</a></b>
on which you can talk in real-time with other Chiff & Fipple Forums members.
There's also a new statistic in the little block of statistics on the right of the <a href="/">front page</a> such that you can see how many people are chatting before you connect. The number is also listed on the chat login screen.
I imagine that Dale will eventually organize scheduled chats (although anyone is free to do so!), but for the time being, it's a free-for-all.
Special thanks go to stimpy and the Vancouver Supercomputing Apartment for the use of their chat server, and to David Leadbeater for the chat interface.
As usual, please <a href="mailto:webmaster@mati.ca">let me know</a> if you find anything wonky.
