in reply to New last hours of cb, CB stats

new codebase for last hour of cb

Well done cavac for taking this on :)

Can I suggest the last hour of cb is promoted a bit wider. I've been in the Monastery for a number of years and knew nothing of it until it's demise was announced.

Probably a question for the gods...why is it not listed in 'Find Nodes' or 'Leftovers' Nodelets?
Or perhaps that's customisable and I've unset it...it's so long since I looked in settings that I could well have forgotten.

Now I know about last hour of cb, I might be inclined to use CB a bit more often.

    In the CB Nodelet, directly under the input field is a link to the Chatterbox FAQ labelled "How do I use this?". Included in the FAQ is the question "I came in late to a conversation. Is there any way to see older messages?" which mentions the last hour page among others. I find last hour of cb to be very useful and just like kcott have had it near the top of my Personal Nodelet for many years.

    Good idea. I have added a link directly to last hour of cb at the bottom of the Chatterbox nodelet. (There were already two links there: How do I use this? and Other CB clients.)

    G'day Bod,

    I've had it set up in my Personal Nodelet for many years.

    Well done cavac for taking this on :)

    See a need, fill a need!

    Plus, frankly, i now have the official blessing of keeping the chatterbox messages for a week in my database. Which makes following discussions a lot easier.

    Plusplus is that i now can fix me an Android app that allows me to use chatterbox via my own server, which should make it much nicer to use on my Boox Color E-Ink tablet. It's strangely satisfying to write chat message with a (digital) pen on a paperlike screen. There's a lot work to be done before that thing even reaches Alpha state. As a project it's probably useless, but it's a good start to learn the API's to work with pen input and the Boox APIs.
