Hmm. It’s working for me in Chrome. Are you behind a firewall?

Seems to not be functioning in Safari this morning. Says it is connecting, but nothing ever happens.

Yesterday evening, I released an experimental Node.js/Socket.io application:

feedhose.randomhacks.net

Just leave your web browser open, and watch the New York Times headlines scroll by. Dave Winer is sending me some traffic this morning, so I’m going to find out how well this stack scales.

I’ve tested it in IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 3.5 and a ridiculously new version of Chrome, and it runs without any major problems. Please let me know if you encounter any problems in other browsers!

During the day, I’ll update this post with technical details: How it works, how much it costs to run, and some tricks I’m using to keep the system alive.
