Updated chrss yesterday:

• "open" games (an opponent needs no invitation needed to join)
• commenting on moves (for that extra bit of social interaction)

Nearly a month since the last update, but there's a few new things:

• user niceties such as being able to change your password and resetting forgotten passwords
• user rss feeds now filter out that user's own moves (so you no longer get notification after you've just moved - only when your …

Few minor background tweaks, but the major new feature in this upgrade is that you can now get an aggregated rss feed for all of a user's games. e.g.:

/chrss/user/lilspikey/rss

• captured pieces are displayed in a summary next to the user's name
• rounded corners (thanks to MochiKit)

Other than that my losing streak continues. That game contained a move I immediately saw as being wrong after I did it, so I think one of …

It appears that I'm helping organise "$5 Apps - a new geek meet" with Ian. Should be interesting.

Planning on giving a talk about setting up chrss and Ian will be talking about ShowMeDo. With luck we'll get a few other people along to talk about their "$5 apps" in the …

Well I ended up not doing so well against Kennon in the end.

To be able to finish the game though I needed to add the ability to resign from a game. So now when you are logged in you will see a "resign" button (if it's your turn to …

Just done:

• user account creation now does email validation (more useful for myself)
• ordering rss entries in date order (as some rss readers seem to display entries in the order the entries appear in the file), to ensure most recent moves appear first

TODO:

• move confirmation (probably just with javascript …
