Happy New Year! Are you in the cafe? Feel free to post here.

If they think they ha’ slain our Goodly Fere
They are fools eternally.

Spurred by Enigma's thread in an inferior place, I've wandered into the caff. The place is deserted. Well, I'm there, so it's not strictly deserted. I may be consuming dinner (a happy task which will take 15 mins or so) soon, but I'll keep Faverolle open and have a shufti thereat from time to time.

I'd join but my tablet won't access the cafe cos it runs android and my pc is refusing me as it has become tempremental about java access. (I have never managed to sort this problem out since I upgraded to windows 7).

The big problems with people being ignored in the cafe come from - no away from keyboard indictator, and no option of a noise on entry. (That and a herd effect - people tend to come in and leave at habitual times dictated by time zone and mealtimes and habitual computer acvities. So some people working from home leave it on all day, some come in while running some task on the computer and leave when finished (or while checking emails etc), and if three people are having a conversation one or two may stay out of politeness and then leave all at the same time as they are running late. If it is half an hour after your bed time - do you then stay up further as a new person comes in ? Etc

To make it work - you need to keep the cafe window open when you do other things, check back periodically, and encourage people to pm you when they enter - as the pm window will jump to the front of your screen and alert you that they have come in.
