CommYou is up again

[jducoeur]

Humph. My apologies to those who tried to follow my previous link and couldn't. CommYou crashed hard, for the first time in weeks. Don't know precisely what happened, but for some reason it seems to have lost its DB connection. I'll look into it, but I suspect it has something to do with bringing Openfire up on that machine, so that the IM stuff can go live soon.

Anyway, it's all working again, if you want to check out the conversation...

Running out the door, so no time to sign up for Facebook + leave a comment there:

Question: If you don't have the "watch" function, how would you distinguish between which conversations get you IMed and which don't? The ability to control that seems kind of important to me.

My take: I'd like having all three. I'm not sure how best to expose it to the user UI-wise, or what language to use - it could be framed in various different ways - but the core option seems really useful in managing the new problems that arise when you start mixing speeds in a single conversation.

Data: I read LJ in three ways. I have my "always check" group, my "check if there's time" group, and the odd journal that I don't follow regularly but will surf to every once in a while (2-10 months) just to check it out. Not exactly the same three categories, but hey.

Okay, useful to know. This is one of those odd functions that is really quite easy for me to implement, but I'm wavering on its utility. It's good to hear from folks that they think it would be useful. And yes, your three ways do somewhat map to these levels...

Okay, I finally signed up for Facebook, but since I'm still figuring out how the heck that works...

Just FYI: you can directly follow CommYou conversation links; while you need to add the app in order to comment (at least for the next couple of weeks), you don't need to do so in order to read them...
