Cursor Preservation

14 August 2009

Last night I woke up at 2am and realized that there was a fundamental problem with cursor preservation in today's real-time collaborative applications. After banging on the keyboard a bit, I went back to bed. Today I read over what I'd written. It seemed to make sense so I implemented it. MobWrite now has what I believe to be the most advanced cursor preservation algorithm available.


A couple of automobile related photos from Google's parking lots:

Towed vehicles may be reclaimed at /dev/random or by telephoning /dev/null Java Sux

I hope Mr Java Sux doesn't get towed.
