World: r3wp

OPI

I"m supposed to have a 10mbs connection

It seems to me that the process of retrieving a message is blocking, 
or otherwise synchronous. On a crappy connection that process may 
have to do some retransmits, or may be slowed down for other reasons. 
The solution is to make the retrieval of a message asynchronous, 
and then just sync during the local update once the message is retrieved.

It happens more often when I have more than one world up.

I think it must be blocking as when I'm typing and a message is being 
downloaded, I have always noticed that keyboard input is slower.

The synapse chat client was completely async as it used Beer.

Before I make an ass of myself on my blog for the umpteenth time: 
Who can new people contact to sign up for AltME?

I'm a world master here. Might be good to have another one who is 
around a lot though. Reichart is back, and he usually takes care 
of things pretty quickly when he's around.

Just don't get me harvested. :-)

Yes, I serve as back up for Gregg.


Henrik, if you are asking "who can people contact" as in send an 
Email, I don't know...  this is why I want  to unify the REBOL ML 
on Google Groups.  Then someone can post in the ML, and anyone who 
happens to see it can post it here.


The option is the way we do it now, which is if someone contacts 
anyone already in here, they tell us in Accounts, and we create an 
account because that person is vouching for them.

Does that answer your question?

Reichart, I guess it does. I just wanted to make a small guide on 
my blog to how to get in here as quickly and as painlessly as possible 
and who is reliable to contact about that. Currently the ML seems 
to be the main way in, while other post on reboltalk.com.

See.........now as scary as this might seem, I did not even know 
about RebolTalk.com!

In fact, this exchange should be on the front page of RebolTalk.com 
: )

amazing

more reason for my blog post, I guess

I propose: checklists to appear in the same list as users and groups. 
Then they can be sorted by most recently modified, turn red and be 
noticed.  *Then* the "Links" group could become a checklist, avoiding 
chat.

or


The "Links" group could be automatically scraped and the links put 
into a "Links" checklist.

When you post an alert to a private group, does it go to all members 
of the world or just that group?

Group.

Suggestion: ctrl-click on a message equivalent to right-click.  For 
one-button 'mouse' users (ie. Mac)

Last night, for the second time...  When I connected to Altme Reichart's 
name was "none" his color was correct though.  


The first time this happened it was on a different computer and Reichart 
remained "none" for the duration of the install so I had to reinstall. 
 


Altme seems to have corrected itself somehow this time.  Reichart, 
you will be pleased to know that you are no longer "none"

: )

Reichart, I lied.  You're only not "none" in some cases like in this 
group for example, however in the Video Tutorials group all of your 
posts show as being posted by "none"  Someone else in that group 
is also showing as "none"  I'll give you more info on this when I 
get a chance.

ammon, can you see Terry?

Where?

if you can't see him, he's probably the one who is none

I don't see Terry in the Video Tutorials group...

This is not a bug...simply, I left this world, and rejoined...

Ah... That would explain it.  Thanks.

Altme runs under wine 0.9.28 ??

i'm on 0.9.53... but i assume it does

I was running AltME under Wine 2+ years ago and it was working perfectly...

I'm on 0.9.49.

Runs very well.

Interesting.  I tried to run Synapse under Xandros and it crashed.

I might just try pure wine instead.

What's the file size limit in Altme nowadays?

Windows :: Right click, select properties.

Graham what version of Xandros are you using?

it was a version I downloaded late last year.  Expired now I guess.

Ports: Hi, I want to setup AltME in a way that it connects to a local 
port-forwarding proxy which than tunnels the connections.


What local ports does AltME use? And what are the remote IPs / Ports 
I need to use?

robert I think whatever you tried broke safeworld ;^)

it may have been a DNS problem, because I was connected to the r3 
world the whole time and could send messages just fine. of course 
it's no fun if there is no one to respond. :-)

I know ....just razzing

I think 5400 is the main port.

Robert - http://www.altme.com/guide/advanced.html#sect0.7.

Robert, no docs but check  worlds/rebol3/config.txt  and prefs/prefs.txt

If the lookup server dies, then no one can reconnect to a world anywhere. 
 This is how Altme controls access.

Is everyone else able to see their own worlds now? I can see RT worlds, 
but not my own, even one I start locally. The test page on the AltMe 
site says they should be reachable.

I'm still getting  exists but not on-line.

I guess nobody else here is running their own worlds.
