Simple Socket.IO Chat Room Creator

So, yeah, I guess there's something to all this Node.JS hype. :)

I've been toying around with different modules (express, zeromq, socket.io) for a side project idea, and I have to say it's been a lot of fun. CoffeeScript + Node.JS is even better. I think Python may be getting a bit jealous. (I still love you Tornado. :))

Anyway, I decided to throw the goofy chat room creator (like EVERY OTHER Socket.IO "experiment") up on a server and github. (It's not in CoffeeScript though.)

<friends>It's UBERCHAT -- It's new, it's (not) German, it's extra tough!</friends>

Really basic, supports room creation with random id room URLs, simple private messaging, away / active, etc. Also supports crashing, I'm sure. There's no persistence or anything clever yet, so if the one instance of Node goes, so do all the rooms. :) Gogo redis... later.
