Re: Event-based actions

[Mike Wills <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My only experience with node.js thus far is on my own Ubuntu server running
boys for a social music site (TurnTable.fm). I was mostly giving and
example. Can't PHP do something like that? I didn't know so I went with
Node.js. I can't imagine it's any harder to port than Ruby is. But I don't
have that area or expertise.
