I'm a moderator on Arqade/Gaming.StackExchange! Besides my moderator duties, I also occasionally contribute to the Arqade Blog and write tools against the SE API. I enjoy video games, and I like helping people enjoy games as well.

On top of all that, I co-author (with my partner in crime EBongo) a blog about gaming and technology called Without the Sarcasm. Here are some recent items of interest:

Going to do a few more sanity checks before I accept, but this is looking good, thanks for the quick response!

 comment Conditional GET support for chat RSS feeds?
@MarcGravell I'm speaking of an external application consuming a feed from chat. My application is consuming the feed linked from the words "RSS feeds" in the question.

@GeorgeEdison, what functionality is missing from the open source version?

@GeorgeEdison, thanks for the link. I didn't see that in the original question, did I miss it? If so, my apologies.

 comment Is there a way to programmatically access chat?
@GeorgeEdison, your app probably does quite a bit of the things I'm interested in, but I note that it's not open source. Are there any examples of open source projects that have "reverse engineered" the chat system so that I don't need to start from scratch?

 comment Is there a way to programmatically access chat?
I haven't completely decided yet, so apologies for the vagueness. One idea I'm having is a command-line driven ncurses chat client, for times when I can't have a full-blown browser running. Another thing I'm considering is some sort of IRC 'bot that is capable of generating statistics or perhaps filtering/analyzing the chat stream. For this, the RSS of starred chat entries might be enough. I haven't completely scoped everything because I don't know what's fully possible.

 comment Is there a way to programmatically access chat?
I'd like to be able to read (and ideally write) to the chat system from some alternative interface. I can certainly attempt to reverse engineer it, and if that's what others have done (and been successful with/avoided violating any usage restrictions) then I can go that route. Something supported that isn't likely to change on a whim and break my stuff, whether it's part of this API or that API would be nice though.
