Animated gifs

[Robert Sneidar]

That will work so long as your blocking calls do not take a lot of time, like opening and querying a remote SQL database for a large data set. Just a thot, wouldn't it be cool if there were an idleInterval you could set where an idle message got sent no matter what at the prescribed interval? Just off the top of my head.
