; This Week's Dilemma


I’m wondering about how best to implement a chatroom.
I think my current focus on developing the framework, with all it's monotony, is making my mind run around in bizarre directions.

For the past decade we've had the Classic MudChat, but when I rewrote the entire site from scratch, earlier this year, I chose not to bother with it.
I never really did finish off the 'MUD' part of the MudChat, and wasn’t ever happy with the direction it took. .. and/or failed to take.

Add to that the fact that it was mostly empty for the past couple of years, and I decided it wasn’t worth fixing up for the new site.

Instead, I opted to come up with a different 'live chat' style, and I’ve left the idea bubbling around in my head for the past few months.
It’d be nice to be able to come up with an amazing new concept for the MudChat, but inspiration just isn’t happening, right now.

I think I’m starting to figure something out, but I’m worried that it might result in the database clogging up.

I will eventually decide on something, though, and then work away like the crazy Code Monkey that I am, to make it as good as I can manage to make it.

Because our community is worth the effort.

; CMD

My new DevKit mostly revolves around a .bat file, and for ease of use, I tend to leave a command prompt open in the folder.
Once it's closed, I found it frustrating having to 'cd' my way back to the folder each day, and so took to the web to find the easiest/laziest way to open a command prompt directly into a folder.
Google didn’t fail me, this time!
