 * Hello,
 * I’ve been attempting to create a hack that shows when the admin is online/offline
   on each page of the blog. My first approach was to use the user_status field 
   in wp_users table, but then I found out this is not set when the user logs on.
   Why wouldn’t that be set to 1 after they log in?
 * Then I was going to use the get_currentuserinfo() function, but what happens 
   when there are more than one user online? Does it just show the user his/her 
   information or will it also show everyone who is logged on and how would we distinguish
   between the users using that function?
 * My next approach was to use the existing WP_UsersOnline plugin, but that shows
   everyone who is online, not just the admin and I don’t see where I can distinguish
   between specific users in that script.
 * Any help here would be appreciated. 🙂

 * Alright, since no one whats to support this thing I guess I’ll just hack away
   at it until I figure something out. Hang in there smallmoskito, it may take me
   some time but I’ll figure it out one way or another. 🙂
