Graham 31-Aug-2009 [3829x8] | I saw a similar issue with playsite when I used to play games online. Kept on being booted due to crappy internet connections or |
Maybe we can shift to using Amazon's SDB .. they allow you to store millions of records for no charge | |
Messages can be sent using the SQS once someone has committed a new message to the store. | |
This gives us a backend, search, threading, no centralised server requirements, no particular person needing to host a server. | |
You can build a front end using a browser client or a View client. | |
And you can use https if you wish too. | |
I thought about using an IRC server but again this is a single point of failure. | |
Too ambitious?? | |
Graham 1-Sep-2009 [3837] | Unable to connect for the last hour ... |
Gregg 1-Sep-2009 [3838] | I haven't been on consistently for a while, so I haven't noticed outages, but nothing is too ambitious for you Graham. :-) |
Graham 1-Sep-2009 [3839x6] | ambition, and the ability to fufill are two different matters :( |
The only issue that I can see is that there is apparently no anonymous access to SDB. | |
which means that again I will need another daemon to act as the proxy to the SDB. | |
Still losing messages :( | |
disconnected this time ... here and R3beta | |
Looks like Altme is not usable today ... | |
Pekr 29-Sep-2009 [3845x2] | Do you think it would make sense to implement few AltME enhancements, which would not alter its messaging layer, but could help to make our lifes easier? Some few months ago I contacted Carl, and he was willing to post particular code sections for related areas. I read also some 2005 list, and picking from (apparently easy to fix) bugs/enhancements: - DeRED - mark everything read - fix URL display bug - fix proxy - fix msg loss during reconnect .... (might be more complex) I just don't know, if it is good to bother Carl with those issues right now, when R3 is heading towards beta and we need to concentrate on it ... |
But - at least above 3 suggestions, might make better usability impression for many ... | |
Henrik 29-Sep-2009 [3847] | it would be a good idea if he gets time to publish that part of the code. |
Graham 29-Sep-2009 [3848] | fix msg loss ... just put the msg into clipboard before posting |
amacleod 30-Sep-2009 [3849] | For moderartion purposes is it possible/safe to delete messages from a group in an Altme World? |
Sunanda 30-Sep-2009 [3850] | Moderators currently have no ability to do that. REBOL.org can blank posts on its archive, if requested with a good reason: http://www.rebol.org/aga-groups-index.r?world=r3wp |
Paul 30-Sep-2009 [3851] | Google Wave - is Altme in the browser. |
amacleod 30-Sep-2009 [3852x2] | These guys have been working on this for two years! WIth google resources? I guess ity takes a long time to make these thypes of apps when you are wedging technology not really ment to do it. I'm not that impressed...(18 min. in to preseentation anyway... |
lots of bugs...makes me feel better about the bugs I find in my app | |
Pekr 1-Oct-2009 [3854] | Altissimo is Altme2. G Wave is just vapor as anything else, unless released. Google just knows, how to hype the stuff ... |
Izkata 1-Oct-2009 [3855x2] | Google Wave has been released |
http://lifehacker.com/5371491/give-out-and-receive-your-google-wave-invitations-here | |
Pekr 1-Oct-2009 [3857x4] | So - another hype from overhyped company happens :-) |
= if you don't use iPone and Chrome as your browser, you are not modern and trendy :-) | |
We need to create VID3 equivalent, call it SideWave, and we have killer app for REBOL :-) | |
by equivalent I mean - wrap Google Wave, not to create competing system ... | |
Graham 1-Oct-2009 [3861x2] | https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wavesignup/ |
I basically want access to spelly :) | |
Ashley 1-Oct-2009 [3863] | I'm using Google Wave at the moment (in Safari not Chrome) and it offers a *bit* more than AltME in a browser. |
Pekr 1-Oct-2009 [3864x2] | It should offer much more .... |
At least according to 1h+ video I saw :-) | |
Ashley 1-Oct-2009 [3866] | *bit* as in "The moon is a *bit* further away from us than the local supermarket". |
Pekr 1-Oct-2009 [3867x2] | The interesting thing is, that it has to come from overhyped Google. Their marketing is done by their name, not by how good their ideas are :-) |
So - do we move to Wave now, as apparently the rest of the world sucks? :-) | |
Ashley 1-Oct-2009 [3869] | Moving to chat ... |
Pekr 1-Oct-2009 [3870] | or to advocacy :-) |
sqlab 2-Oct-2009 [3871] | I just tried security essentials on one pc and it claimed to find a Trojan in one of the AltMe chats. Anyone with the same experience? |
Pekr 10-Oct-2009 [3872] | Altme.com once again lost my world registrations :-( Our worlds are running locally without outage, and also our router has 234d uptime. I really wonder, when/how it can happen, but as it already happened in the past, this really start to be depressing ... |
Chris 10-Oct-2009 [3873x2] | nng, I'm pretty sure the whole Internet is not busy... |
I can't go two minutes today without having to force a refresh... | |
Brock 10-Oct-2009 [3875] | Pekr, welcome to my world. I eventually gave up complaing about it and found the occurences to be far less frequent when I went down to a single world being hosted on my home PC. |
amacleod 10-Oct-2009 [3876x3] | Me too...How do I get it back up? |
This is the first time I lost my world and one has been running no problem for over a year... | |
I re-started/registered and its back up again...I was afraid the old files might get overwritten or some other screw-up but no probs | |
