08:42 mr_lou Thread.join() - waits for thread to die....
08:42 mr_lou Does that mean that if I do.
08:42 mr_lou myThread.join();
08:42 mr_lou myThread = null;
08:42 mr_lou I can be sure that myThread isn't set to null before it's dead?
08:44 aditsu yeah.. but why do you need to set it to null?
08:47 mr_lou So System.gc() can get back some memory?
08:47 mr_lou Small HTTP server in my Blu-ray Xlet, has an array of 15 ServerThreads that it iterates through.
08:48 mr_lou When one is done the memory should be collected.
08:49 aditsu can't use a thread pool?
08:49 mr_lou No idea what that is. Never tried using such a thing. Available in Java 1.3?
08:50 aditsu ThreadPoolExecutor @since 1.5
08:50 mr_lou mkay... then it's a no go.
08:52 aditsu blu-ray is forever stuck at 1.3? that's sad
08:52 mr_lou Yup
08:52 mr_lou Well, dunno about Ultra Blu-ray.... but normal blu-ray yes.
08:53 mr_lou That's part of what I love about it, unlike the forever-changing web tech.
08:53 mr_lou Well, gotta go do some shopping. Back later.

09:32 mr_lou back
09:38 mr_lou aditsu, I've been running #indiegamemusic on EsperNet for many years. Also created #blu-play here on freenode.
09:38 mr_lou Common for both channels is that very few people ever joined - and stayed.
09:39 mr_lou Then recently, I tried creating a Discord server for blu-play - and was very surprised by the number of people joining. Within a week 100 people had been there, and most stayed. So I did the same for IndieGameMusic.com with the same result.
09:39 mr_lou Just throwing it out there for you to ponder about.
09:42 aditsu discord is popular with gamers; I'm also using it
09:42 aditsu but I prefer open platforms
09:43 mr_lou Discord isn't an open platform?
09:44 aditsu is there a 3rd party discord client? :p
09:44 aditsu from wikipedia: "Discord is a *proprietary* ..."
09:50 mr_lou Dunno, I'm just using a webbrowser.
10:01 mr_lou But no one wanted to join the chats when it was IRC, even though I provided a web-client on the sites.
