World: r3wp

Hey !  omebody took the nake out of my perona :-)

Perhaps he doesn't feel that this is a plural society

THen, Reichart, would you please change my username  to   J-F    
for the time being. thanks J-F

How come when Reichart changed hs name to "R", it was updated everywhere 
and not "Jean-Françoi" ?

I am using large font, so I see you as:
Jean-Fran
	çois

Of the 5 messages I see of yours right now, the first an fifth have 
the 's' on a newline - the other three have it chopped off...

JF, you need backup persona's in case of partial identity theft. 
 That's what I do.

FYI - My server crashed (win2k) just as I was starting Altme, somehow 
all world data was destroyed, and Altme refused to run.  Required 
a re-install.

you lost all your world data?  do you mean your data is all blank? 
 Or was it corrupted?

It was gone completely.

perhaps you're looking in the wrong directory?

It was gone completely.

What method did you use to search for it?

File exploder..didn't spend too much time diagnosing.. perhaps it 
was there somewhere.. but it sure wasn't working.. I recommend that 
you  don't use Altme to control any nuclear reactors without some 
extensive testing.

Current Altme uses a different directory to the early betas. Likely 
the worlds are still there, just in the old location

If files are "gone", they should be found by chkdsk and be in the 
FOUND.XXX directory. But names are lost :-(

chkdsk??  wow, what version of dos are u using?

Terry: I hope nobody uses Win2k to control any nuclear reactor. Win2k 
does crash and removes files being modified. chkdsk works well, but 
you have to analyse all restored files to figure filenames, and files 
are extended to block boundaries. (had to recover an usb zip disk, 
a nightmare) I don't think AltME is fautly here - I never saw any 
Rebol apps trashing filesystem.

Should probably use RTOS for reactor.

not DOS, win2k or XP (ex: scandisk under 9x)

not "ex:" but "ex"

ahhh...  does it have advantages over scandisk?

I find it worst, not as "graphical" (hum, even if it's only semigraphical).
But it handle Fat and NTFS

Why do you saty with this "G" as your name. I ddon't like that so 
much !

Well, it makes it clearer when someone is quoting me :)

Your own nick is an abbreviation as well is it not?

OK Greg

yep

All this conversations are going to become a big confusion. How many 
A B C are reused here.

It's an experiment ... if R feels it is not going to work, he'll 
change the names back again.

We know of two G a couple of R(s), Some C(s) [Carl Cyphre]. But Cyphre 
real name is Richard so he can be confuse with R for  Reichart.

It's what I mean. If everybody rename himself with a OLA This world 
will gone to hell !!!

And I am sure C/R doesn't have a double personality.

but you can't rename yourself .. only world masters can do this

Actually on most BBSs, people tend to use pseudonyms and not their 
real name

I think I should have asked R to change mine to X

But I had seen others addressing Cyphre as Richard.

A few times.

I don't think having OLA(s) is very useful for posting. It is great 
in when a conversation is going on. Like a year ago when we were 
all working towards a new view, and Carl use the OLA to reply. But 
for general postings it doesn't make any sense. IMHO.

while I've got your attention .. how does one interpret this .. ip/24 
or ip/32  ?

ip/prefix prefix stands for the number of bits that are set to one 
in the network. It is a way to partition the address space.

ie. 10.10.10.0/24 is referreing to any valid ip-address in the range 
10.10.10.0 to 10.10.10.255

what does /32 do then?

10.10.10.5/32 referes only to the ip-address 10.10.10.5 it is a host 
ip-address not a range for a network

ok.

I was just reading in the squid docs that I need to specify for a 
single ip address .. ip/32

;ip address are 32 bits. So when you do a mask comparison 
10.10.10.5 and 255.255.255.255 == 10.10.10.5

;while 
10.10.10.5 and 255.255.255.0 == 10.10.10.0

ok, I guess I need to read up a bit about this to understand it better.

; in general
10.10.10.x and 255.255.255.0 == 10.10.10.0 ; where  0 <= x <= 255
