Yey Warpaint...

Ok, more like a gripe at the world in general. Nothing against Warpaint really, but rather the seeming unwillingness of others to participate in the fun. Ask people to install and run the Warpaint download and then click on a link so that they can join an ongoing OpenCanvas 1.1 session. What happens? I run a server for over an hour and only get tumbleweeds and the sounds of crickets chirping. Not that I haven't tried. Anyhow, since I have OpenCanvas up - may as well draw something anyways. Made this little graffitti dude and threw in some text as a free plug for the warpaint server client thingy.
Also I think another noisome thing is firewalls and routers not being too clear when it comes to configurating... (Is that a word?) ...Or configuring or whatever. Anyhow the default port that has to be forwarded or triggered is 9001 for Warpaint/OpenCanvas, and I doubt it's used much in common protocols so it's likely to be sealed up more often than not. I have explained to some extent what needs to be done, but most folks don't even know what a port is - let alone how to pull up the configuration settings for their particular router and/or firewall. Meh...
