Here's what happened when I visited the link with my FireFox (English US language at the top in my browser)
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Source Error:

Line 101: string source = node.SelectSingleNode("Source").InnerText;
Line 102: string content = node.SelectSingleNode("Contents").InnerText;
Line 103: DateTime lastDisplayed = DateTime.Parse(node.SelectSingleNode("LastDisplayed").InnerText);
Line 104:

Hi there moron. The problem is with the craftsman not the tools.

It's not a Firefox error. The error occurs on the server so it isn't working for anyone. Hope this gets fixed as I would like to see it.

From TFA: "Why build a new instant messaging client? Well, I decided that the current instant massangers were all proprietary or built in another language."

Well, and this is not proprietary? If you wanted to get real attention and fame in IM world you probably want to make implementation of Jabber in .NET (*). And then provide ASP.NET framework or whatever...

OTOH, do not take me too much seriously as I am from "the other" (Java) world where we have different ecosystem ;)

* If there is none existing, simple gg search revealed null - searching ".net jabber". BTW it is funny how choosing ".net" as the technology title is causing troubles when searching - you get the whole ".net" TLD to search.. or how do you do that in your world? With java it is simple - you search for java or jre or jdk or dolphin or mustang or ... :)

Anyway, Happy New Year, everyone
