I probably ought not be so critical of Java. I mean I program in it, along with several other languages, but I think it's still got problems. But to be truthful, assembler language sort of 'taints' one's perspective towards 'newer' languages (frame of ref: Age - Assembler 20+ years, Java 6 years).
New Hack links to the IRC servr, eh? That might be a good thing since I've seen that myphpcat is a hog on resources. I have the luxury of a subnet Internet presence, and additional servers here I can offload the chat to, if necessary, but I'll stay posted for your upcoming hack...
But for now, I'm continuing my quest for the chat "fix" my VB needs....I wanted to keep the chat localized to my server for privacy reasons, and I don't like depending on other machines over which I have no control. It's probably a residual effect of 25 years in mainframes where the motto has always been Availability, Availability, Availability.
thanks again, for replying..
