Hab.la observed in its natural habitat

Hi.

Rumor has it that a few people are actually running Hab.la on their sites now, so we've been fixing the first round of bugs caught in the wild. None of us actually use IE, so Hab.la has been really broken for IE users without us noticing. Apparently I'm the only one who even has a Windows machine right now, so I got the privilege of tackling that.

Oddly enough, the most requested feature so far is the ability to customize the color scheme. That should be available in a day or two. It's actually done already; I just haven't merged it into production yet, and the weather is really nice right now, so hell if I'm going to do that now.

That is all.

EDIT: check out http://www.stdeviant.com/testx.html for an example of a custom color theme.

Probably my favorite aspect of web development is the fact that you get to do everything twice: once for IE6, and once for everything else. Anyhow, no one had actually tested hab.la in IE yet.

I was going to write a hilarious narrative about the wacky bugs I faced to day, but I'm tired so let's get to the point: IE was caching the RPC calls. I added no-cache headers and it basically works. There's a bizarre new bug now where incoming messages show up three times, but I'm sure we'll figure that out soon enough.

I also updated the JS client to use David's hot new chatbox look.

I was going to do some benchmarks today, but I guess I'll hit that up later.
