Mibbit now does LaTeX »

Time and country

All backends have been updated with new code, here’s the main feature updates:

  • Mibbit clients now respond to CTCP TIME requests, with the users local time and timezone.
  • The users local time and country are now shown in /whois replies. The country is via a simple lookup on the users IP.
  • If you have icons showing in the user list (Green/blue guys), you can click on one. They’ll all change to showing flags. Click again, and they’ll all change to showing time of day icons (mouseover for exact local time + zone). Click again and they’ll go back to icons.

morning – Morning (8:00 am – 12:00 noon)

day – Day (12:00 noon – 18:00 pm)

evening – Evening (18:00 pm – 22:00 pm)

night – Night (22:00 pm – 8:00 am)

This means you can easily see with a couple of clicks where people are, and what sort of timezone they’re in :)

ul_icons -> ul_flags -> ul_times

    @JustOff Then it’d need to CTCP everyone in the channel, which could be irritating to other users.
    You can always do a manual /CTCP from mibbit.
