Gah. Apologies for the error. I’ll get the source bundle updated ASAP.

Hi Kevin,

Loving the screen casts, they are incredibly helpfull, far more so than I would have predicted.

I especially like the deliberate mistakes that force me to really learn how things work ;-)

In mucc.erl you have:

proxy_client(Messages) -> receive {printmsg, MessageBody} -> proxy_client([MessageBody|Messages]); {get_messages, Caller} -> Caller ! {messages, lists:reverse(Messages)}, proxy_client([]); {send_message, Addressee, Message} -> message_router:send_chat_message(Addressee, Message); stop -> io:format(“Proxy stopping…~n”), ok end.

There is no tail-recursion in the send_message… clause. It took me much longer to work out what was happening than it should have.

Looking forward to the OTP episodes.

Rgds.

Tom
