The author is the principal of the company which produces RailsLTS, which I was involved in as a customer. I wasn't aware that we shared the WoW connection, but that makes me like them even more. (I sort of hope we do not need an advisory about RCE via session cookie tampering because Rails is drunk.)

Thanks Patrick :) I had to quit my WoW guild when I discovered I could only run a single company at the same time.

Speaking of RCE: Distribution of new FriendNet versions was such a pain that for a while we considered a P2P auto-update mechanism where FriendNet users with newer versions would whisper Lua code to users with older versions, who would then eval() it locally.

It seemed like a much better idea then than it does today...

If you signed the updates properly then it would probably be fine :)

And a great handle to boot!
