A Chat application code named "Chik"

This is an application I developed when I needed to keep communicating with someone continuously and all the chat services failed us at some time or the other. I wished for a dedicated server, someone who would not be distracted & fatigued by overload.

Well never could used it. With scarce time to develop it, i could not finish it in time. But that not withstanding, it is still a good application, worth finishing. So i will keep working on it, in fits & starts.. until it reaches an acceptable form.

I will post the link of the server here when i am done and it is ready for its next level of evolution : link
Please note that this link is linked back to this page in the absence of the server being up & running.

Meanwhile here are some screen snapshots of the chat client applet. It opens on any java enabled browser once you key in the server site address as will be provided in the above link:
