It's always cool to actually SEE people hanging out on the site live, 
so the New Year's Eve chat was fun, but I'm guilty of being so tired 
past midnight that I passed smooth out in my captain's 
chair.  :)  All day at Six Flags with the kids took a toll on me.

What I want to do is fix the meeting scheduler (it's got an e-mail 
bug in it) and put in all the time zones by name and offset so you 
can see in your own time when a meeting is planned.  This system 
really never got used much in the past but it has a very good purpose 
in letting anyone on the site announce and preplan a public gathering.

The bad room head-count counter was trying to read a Windows-ASCII 
file instead of Linux after a careless upload of the chat 
configuration file using the incorrect conversion.  It's fixed now, 
but sometimes the front page of CoCo3.com shows a chatter or two 
still lingering when they're not really in the room anymore, which is 
a mystery bug at this time.  It's probably my PHP commands that are 
trying to read past the end of the session data or something.
