Chiriquí Chatter Chat and Request Feature
Dec 15th, 2006 by Don Ray
Ok, I don’t know if this will say around, but I have added a “Chat” and “Request” feature to Chiriquí Chatter. If I have turned the feature on you will see an image at the bottom right of the sidebar that says “Click for live help” in that area. That isn’t probably the best image to display, but until I see if this is worth the effort that is what it will say.
If I am out and about and not online, then you will see a “Leave Message” in that area.
Clicking on either area will activate a java window, which will take a message in the event I am out or open a chat window if I am not talking to someone else.
The reason I am trying this function it to allow requests to be made for articles, questions on how to use the blog and see previous postings, or just to say “hello”.
I have only set it up to talk to one person at a time, so there is a possibility you might try to chat when I am talking to someone else. In that case feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you.
Note: this feature is in a test environment, so don’t expect for it to be flawless..
Hello Don:
Great surprise to chat at Chiriqui Chatter. I just used it, but apparently you were not near your computer.
I hope you are feeling better.
Best Regards,

Hi Don

Hi Omar. When I left I had set it to off line, but somehow it turned itself on. Strange.
Yes, I am much better. Thanks.
Hi Dick,
I will see. It looks like it might.
[...] Back on December 15, I added a chat and request feature to Chiriquí Chatter. The three weeks that I have played with it have been pretty interesting. I have been able to chat with several folks and have responded to a couple of messages that were left when I was offline. This feature is designed to be used as an online help desk. However, it is proving pretty useful for me in understanding what people need in the way of information. . [...]
