No image sorry
I am thinking about making an xml/flash thing that sits on the bottom right corner of your desktop and provides you with pictures from the messageboard (updated every X number of seconds). Would people use this or would I be wasting my time? :)

Not really
people have made screensavers and allsorts which work in a similar way. Witness the xml challenge in the newsletter a few weeks back. I probably wouldn't use it though, as I have the board open for most of the day anyhow.

the problem with b3ta when ti comes to bandwidth
is that reloading all of the old posts on the board sucks up bandwidth and it's a bit of a waste.
it's a bit like threaded irc what we've got here.

automated stuff like this, 'every x number of seconds', sucks our bandwidth, you'll kill the board... it's been done before with a board auto refresh.

do the rss feeds support 304? /tech

instead of gettnig the 50 or so on the page per refresh, they get 10. much nicer.

I loathe Fiona Philips with a passion.
I'm considering mounting a serious campaign to get her taken off the air. She's fucking awful, sitting there on that fucking sofa, being fucking smug and fucking wittering on about whatever the fuck comes into her fucking tiny mind, interrupting whatever's meant to be going on at that moment. And she fucking thinks like the Daily fucking Mail. Fucking fuck fucker.
