Re: List of clients to autoupdate on cb change?

The chatterbox shall forever remain a small diversion. If you want realtime chat, go to irc.slashnet.org#perlmonks It seems to me that an increasing amount of monks (still probably less than 10) want to make perlmonks the center of the universe on a kind of global scale. That's just not gonna happen. The majority of monks like perlmonks the way it is. For change to happen there must be an overwhelming urge/need/demand and/or a champion/implementor, to make it happen. Rarely, if ever, will an idea simply spring into existence just because someone thought of it.

*bleh* I should've just stayed quiet, it's best when nobody says anything and nothing changes ... *bleh* i'm going anonymous monk on this one

eh Petruchio was working on a streaming XML server to replace the current polling XML ticker. It'd be nice in the sense that those of us who generate traffic 24/7 (albiet not much) could get a socket connection and not do continuous polling. I'm told that it'd make a nice dent in the server load. That was before the recent upgrades though so perhaps that changed. Anyhow, things spring forth from ideas because are perl monks. We create.

`>The chatterbox shall forever remain a small diversion. If you want realtime chat, go to irc.slashnet.org#perlmonks` Thats not the chatterbox though! `>It seems to me that an increasing amount of monks (still probably less than 10) want to make perlmonks the center of the universe on a kind of global scale.` Er, where did that come from? `>For change to happen there must be an overwhelming urge/need/demand and/or a champion/implementor, to make it happen` Er, my proposal isn't a change to perlmonks. All it would change is how certain outside programs interact with perlmonks. The cb would still function exactly the same as it does now, it would just help certain outside programs. `>bleh* I should've just stayed quiet, it's best when nobody says anything and nothing changes` What kind of attitude is that? Stagnation is never good.	[reply]
