Unfortunately it could simply be that Gabriele had way too much to 
do in organizing the event and working on last minute changes to 
LNS for his presentation.

I recall last year it was Jaime and Gabriele that setup all the video 
equipment and the feed... maybe just not enough time.

I agree it would be nice if someone gave small updates on AltME - 
I really have to assume there is an Internet connectivity problem.

heh, now I remembered something - some 5 years ago, when I was put 
in the charge for e-business team, we met with one partner from Germany 
and I asked them, if CZ, as a post-communistic country, has really 
weak internet connectivity and internet presence, especially in regards 
to companies. Two guys looked one at each other, started laughing 
and told us "haha, you've never been in Italy, right?" :-) Nothing 
against Italy, really, it just came to my mind right now :-)

It seems fair that the priority is for the people at the conferernce.

If someone has volunteered to send instant status reports, that'd 
be nice.
If the haven't, we can wait for the official press releases.

'paying' customers' gets more attention :)

Sunanda - the problem is, like with every post amiga related company, 
that those announcements simply don't come usually :-)

What would Charles Dickens say ..?

well, today situation is a bit different than one year ago, as we 
have less formal Carl's blog - so maybe Carl will blog a bit about 
his presentation, not bothering to prepare some kind of official 
press release kind of posts ...

Now that would be a problem, Petr :-)

Perhaps those of us who didn't go should have paid for one of us 
to go as reporter.

Graham - who is Charles Dickens?

(... a joke :-)

author of "Great Expectations"

Please sir.... can I haf s'more

... as for me, I can wait .... I am just saying that it would be 
fine to have someone here, if not, neve mind, I expect someone will 
join at least tomorrow ...

hahahh...took me sometime to figure that out

Jaime didn't take one of his wireless boxes with him?

I expect Reichart will show up with blazing fast fingers and a laptop 
at some point

Is GPRS too old these days?

it is rather old, but still working. I have it with my notebook - 
it is some 54kbit, the trouble is, it does not support compression 
as general modem units, so 100KB html site is still 100KB

Reichart is on QTask..but dun think I see him here.

[mad rush to QTask]

today there is new standard here - EDGE - it can be nearly 150kbit, 
should be enough even for SkyPe ..... it runs on top of GPRS modulation 
or so, but device and mobile points have to support that, so only 
big towns here currently ...

from Reichart..

=
They are working on it.  For some reason I can't get on AltME
==

in reply..to my question on whether there is a 'live' broadcast

and Reichart can't get onto AltME ?  Perhaps he's forgotten his password?

R: 		Also, we have not started yet, but almost there.
They are blocking AltME in some way, but not HTM.

ahh.. the school's squid server

I'll betcha the problem is a proxy server.

is AltMe's message encrypted..?

Squid? It is proxy, no? Or FW?

yes, it is encrypted ...

well, from experience I know that Altme doesn't like proxy servers

last year DevCon... Carl mention one of their lessons learnt from 
IOS is that sometimes encrypted message may contain 'dirty characters'...that 
can be rejected by proxy, firewall etc.

'dirty' = 'non approved words...

and since they're at a school, they almost are certainly using a 
free proxy like squid.

so, we can all blame Reichart !

I would not do so, as Reichart is right now the only connection with 
DevCon :-)

'k -- quick hack of an old app:

do http://www.ross-gill.com/r/rebcon-map.r

Or try 'where' on my rebsite...

I'd get it to do more, but it was a pig to get it to do this much...

ok what is it doing?

Just sharing coordinates.  Type in your name, and click where you 
are on the map.

It shows where we all are...

see 4 dots including mine

does it shows 'who' is on which dot

backspace in the text field gives error

Yep, next stage would be to -- a) save your name and dot, b) show 
a list of names, c) highlight the dot of the selected name, and d) 
show their local time.

kind of similar to 'givist' from Google
