update on the session tracking/buddylist thingy

[Alistair]

ok...been giving this some thought and have come up with the following....

this is dependant on whether or not I can get my sessionID. This is assigned
by the server yes?

so...when I log in, I query what my session ID is, and then store that in a
DB along with a flag that says I'm logged in.

now, along comes someone else who has me in their buddy list, I think I can
query the sessionIDs and remove any records from the DB where the sessionID
no longer exisits. (not sure how yet but I'll work on it).

Then the second user will query the DB to see if I have logged in (and a
sessionID still exists). if so, his buddylist will show me as logged
on...although it could be 20 mins out of date, it's getting closer to the
real thing.

sounds feasible to me.
