Hey, there!

I'm afraid I don't have any kind of IM/chat software, but you can reach me via my e-mail address.  I've never heard of Personalife and a quick Google search only showed a site in Italy.

Parsing the applet data is pretty easy.  Parsing it properly is hard, due to a wide variety of standards compliance issues.  I have some notes regarding header passing, cookies, animation overlays, and compression levels in the applet code in Wacintaki that you might find useful.  Send me an e-mail and I'll explain things in more detail.  Obviously, it's a good idea to code for the worst case scenario.  One of these days, hopefully somebody will put together an oekaki applet that sends multipart encoded forms (from what I've seen, even Lascaux doesn't do this, but it's been a while since I've looked at that applet).

Oh yeah, and I have two burning questions:  how are you handling support for multiple boards?  Are you using CGI pass-throughs or clean URLs?  Both have their problems and I can't figure out which would be better.  I'm also curious as to how you're handling language support.
