Sweet Libary Karl! about xi4n HOT 4 CLOSED

I've re-activated the ability for PMs on my LFSF account (totally forgotten I'd done that when I was a mod tbh). Feel free to drop me an email anytime, details at http://theangryangel.co.uk/blog/get-in-contact ;)

Theres a couple of really bad architectural flaws in xi4n I really want to fix - like how the client and clientmanager sit together (I should probably log them as issues I suppose...). The main one that's annoying me is the way the config is passed in and out is also annoying as it's current a pain in the bum to rehash the config without shutting down everything..

The fact that someone else thinks this is good JS is reassuring. JS isn't my language of choice, and much like Perl parts of it fall out of my brain regularly :)

Nah, It's hard to PM someone as I'm banned :P (all my accounts.. It was supposed to be a 1 year ban.. 20 months later.. still banned.. It's retarded).

I like Javascript more and more. I've had to start learning it as part of my job and doing more complex stuff. Probably sooner than later, I'll actually be learning nodeJS for a legitimate reason, rather than just messing about.

I just found it cool that it's a NodeJS insim client. I always thought about messing around with PRISM.. but it's so messy (and PHP is my language of choice!).. Javascript has started to seem more and more elegant, although the concept of registering events and callbacks instead of doing if/else checks for a method's success/fail event is a bit different.. but it's still really cool.

Maybe I can spam Vic into unbanning me (I send an email every month) as I think after all this time I can't be too bad there.

I'll drop the current mods an email or a PM and find out whats going on :) PRISM isnt that bad, it's just the globals all over the shop that drive me nuts. However it does Just Work(TM) ;)

PHP is hard to write in a manner where random things aren't globals all over the place.

My workplaces currently in-dev project does a fairly good job of only allowing each application access to itself; unless an interop is needed, however at least for our base apps, inter-dependencies are a bad thing.

JS has started to make me interested. An outgauge part to this seemed to be my first thought (HTML5 + WebSockets for a iPhone/iPad/Webkit gauge software.) Although WS could connect directly I guess too (although node creating a nice JSON object would be nicer.)

One night I'll haffto put on my JS booties and see what I can do!
