Woohoo! Finally the weiqi on nodejs+socket.io app we built a year ago is ready for prime time:

It's pretty shoddy, but this might give me some inspiration to move forward.

The nice thing about socket.io, is it prefers websockets, but will fall back to long polling if not available on both the client and server.

So this didn't even require a redeploy, just a `heroku labs:enable websockets`

And like magic I can support more than 10 concurrent users ;)
