Real-time Geeking

This is a good idea. People can now reserve the more thoughtful comments and posts for the forums, and keep the personal banter elsewhere. I wonder if they will. :-)

Today's live critique of Gustavo Ferreira's work was really inspiring. I can see this being a huge bonus to the critique forum. I'm hacking the forum code to support it right now.

Live critique is so much fun. It fosters a much better sense of the designers thinking and process. Looking forward to more.

I am glad to see that the Typophile chaps haven't resorted to plugins or java for their chat technology. It seems to be fairly responsive and compatible as a result (though some Chimera support would be nice, heh).

Does @hacking the code@ imply that we'll be able to view previous critiques? I do hope so.

Contratulations :)

Is the chatroom new or has it always been there?

I just went and there was no-one there. Does it work with Mac?

Funny - I was just there! Talked to myself for a minute, then left...

Karen, works fine with Mac and IE5. Sometimes it's empty though. Like magic 8 ball says, "ask again later."

OK, it's hard not to be paranoid when half of web apps are not Mac friendly. But I should have known that the typophile one would be. :-)

Hrant, you were not going by the name pf Ricardo were you? Cos he was there for about a minute then left.

Oooh... and the new typophile forum is looking really *nice*.

Rico Suave? Unfortunately no.

small world. funny I was just there saw Ricardo too. came over here and now your all talking about it back there.

my username don't work. I don't have room in my head to remember yet another user/pass combo.
live critiques must be fun. but chat forums are kind'a umm..awkward eh?

I really don't like chat rooms, and the few times I've checked on Typophile Chat there was nobody there. I suspect chat rooms in general are for people with too much time on their hands, which is definitely not the case for me. I'd rather have a bit of personal banter on the forums: it strengthens the community spirit, and sometimes makes topics offshoot in a new direction which can be just as interesting. And it allows users to participate in a discussion by logging in once in a while.
