My only objection is with the TOS: while I can sort of understand defamatory and libelous (even these rule out most of the fun), I have issues with "inaccurate". Does not leave much wiggle room, does it?
On Tue May 22 20:03:29 EEST 2012, all I get is a page with navigation and a greyish pattern background. Could not figure out what to do with it. This is with Chrome and FF on a Mac.
Seems fairly usable atm. A few observations: there is an XSS vulnerability as you probably learned by now. Also, there was a moment when someone was submitting content and it appeared under my nick "bpfh".
Other than that, kudos for a simple well-functioning chat.
This is my weekend project, scratching a personal itch and addressing some of the complexity in HR tools I'm used to seeing.
The stack consists of Rails, MongoDB and nginx, and represents my first public-facing service with that stack. Along the way I wrote a JQuery plugin for managing a dynamic number of fields in a fieldset which I might throw on GitHub if there's interest.
Just implemented this change, and I find it much improved. Thanks.
Now the next thing would be to figure out appropriate network metrics to monitor the PSN server. I suppose portscanning Sony would be considered a bad idea though.
Whether it be due to Anonymous or load from newly released hit games, PSN has been awfully flaky lately. Usually when PSN returns with a helpful integer error message, I hit Twitter and #psn to see if it's just me.
Frustrated with this, I took a few hours and wrote http://isthepsndown.com/. Obviously it's pretty useless at the moment, PSN being down wholesale, but I am hoping in the future it would save a few clicks whenever PSN barfs again.
Curious coindidence – I was thinking about this the other day, wading through Gibson's _Neuromancer_. The novel, just like earlier Stephenson fiction, paints a not-too-distant future entirely dominated by "Nipponese" brands and cultural artefacts. _Neuromancer_ was published in 1984. A lot has changed ever since.
