So Jacob loves WebIRC. Seriously, he can’t get enough. I think we’re going to have an intervention soon.

The server’s going strong without any major changes since I wrote it two long months ago. In fact, today is WebIRC’s two-month birthday, and someone didn’t send a card. Anyway, it’s about as stable as you can get. I had a computer connected for 52 hours before it crashed for unrelated reasons. Seriously, it does that all the time, I need to reformat. In fact, 52 hours might be the longest it’s gone without crashing lately.

Jacob’s really been doing some exciting things with the application, taking it in a direction I never really considered. He’s simplifying it, for starters, stripping away all the functionality that seemed cool 15 years ago but just confuses people used to Google Talk. He’s developing it into something that should debut in the next month or so on Orbited.org: a very small (in pixels), lightweight little marvel that you can just stick in the corner of any old website. That’s just plain awesome.

Ok, if you really miss it that much, the old WebIRC will run here for a while.
