hahahh...took me sometime to figure that out

oliver TWIST

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

gvisit

1:10 am on the west coast

Yep, I had an error too -- I guess that happens when you're typing 
and it updates...

well I look forward to all the stuff I'll see worked out in the morning. 
 good night

Here's hoping...

ok, so still not clear if the stream will work or not, I give up 
too ... going to dress myself up and prepare to move to my work, 
there I will be on AltME at least (but via GPRS, so no chance to 
have enough throughput to watch the eventually running stream ...)

The stream was real fun for me last year ... I have my gfx card connected 
to tv-out typed here on altme on the primary monitor, watching video 
stream on TV ... it was cool ...

would switching to ios work? it goes thru proxies?

Trillian works well too

would be cooler if its done with rebol ;)

would be cooler if anything worked

Agreed. But trying ios first would cost 5 minutes. OTOH other messengers 
would be multiplatform.

you forget the 5 min delay between each message in iOS messenger

only on loaded servers. fresh ones are faster.
