C# / Asp.net pays my bills, but I've been playing with node.js lately. Just to kind of see what the hubbub was.

I took Ryan Dahl's chat room demo and added a database for validating users & message logging. I've added a couple commands that allow users to change their nicknames on the fly and some other feeble functionality.

I think eventually i'd like for users to be able to run javascript across all sessions, which could be a complete mess or kind of cool.

I've been looking into node myself and this seems like an interesting application. I'm hoping for the "kind of cool" option for you when it's all said and done!
