Re: [Tjukebox-general] AJAX and random song wait time.

[Kevin N. <bea...@ya...>]

I got the AJAX callbacks working on the current song
and the song queue.  It was actually quite easy
without extra libraries.

As for the wait time, it turns out boost::thread has
built in sleep capabilities.  You just tell a current
thread to sleep and give it an amount of time, and it
happens.  No new thread needed.
