World: r3wp

When the day comes of the dev con itself, we might make a bunch of 
Rooms here so we all have a place to talk.

Room - Current speak
Room - Ask a question now
Room - Lobby (place for people to talk with out annoying others)

speaker

If we are willing to pay we can use the Adobe service as well. This 
worked but I couldn't get the spund to my headset, if I recall (the 
brief period before my ADSL went down) it was only 3 at a time. I 
think they have a pay-as-you-go. The money would be like the virtual 
conference fee.

Anyway, cool stuff.

Nick, I'm throwing my questions into a wiki, which will eventually 
become the Wiki to tell people everything they need to know to jump 
into the DevCon.

This is a public syndicated version of the Wiki


https://www.qtask.com/qwiki.cgi?mode=previewSynd&uuid=89Q6MQ8PFN5YU27HNSV87LWB22QT


If you want to edit the Wiki, you simply need to be a member of the 
REBOL SIG project in Qtask.


If anyone wants in, just shoot me a message with the email address 
you want me to use.  There are already about 70+ people in the project.


Here is the link to the editable Wiki  https://www.qtask.com/quilt.fcgi#qwiki-8382?project=198

I'm getting a 404 ... odd.

On which link?

qtask.com

Link 1 or link 2 above, or both?

http://www.qtask.com

I can see two other people on Qtask right now from New Zealand (for 
the record).

Neither are you of course.

No one else is complainng to me so far (meaning, they might be having 
trouble, just have not said anything to me).

must be the isp ...

I just bounded a bunch of pings around the world, they all work.
Also just tested Sprint's network to it, they work too.

In fact, they are all singing along.

So yes, very odd.  However, may I suggest, clear you cache?

let me restart FF ... I think it's 3.0 is flaky

yeah .. works with Chrome.

Why does Altme invoke FF when Chrome is my default browser?

Well it is more like [AltME]->[OS]->[Chrome] right?

So isn't the question, why does your OS still tell AltME about FF 
(which used to be IE when you first got it)?

Actually, it's why does REBOL invoke FF ....

but I made if Altme because I thought you might know

Perhaps it is [AltME]->[REBOL]->[OS]->[Chrome]

Is it possible that you changed the default after the system was 
running, and AltmME (and therefor REBOL) don't know about the change 
yet?
This "feels" like another level of caching...

i made the change months ago.

(this would be my best guest giving the 3 second I have thought about 
it).

I wonder, in all of this - where is REBOL?

Graham, I remember such a problem. Did you check the filetypes in 
explorer?

Graham, what happens if you in Windows start a cmd and type:
start http://www.rebol.com

(I can't remember, where the problem is, so I'm just giving ideas.)

filetypes are okay.

start rebol.com invokes chrome.

In REBOL console, what does this show?
system/options/browser-type

Did you reboot your computer since you changed default browser?

about 100 times

>> probe system/options/browser-type
0
== 0

ie. nothing

Graham, if this does not clear up, then send this to Feedback please.

Graham, there's some info here about default browser in the registry:

http://newoldthing.wordpress.com/2007/03/23/how-does-your-browsers-know-that-its-not-the-default-browser/


It's not only the file-type, it seems, but also per protocol. Try 
check for example HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/HTTP/shell/open/command and such.

Note to self: when designing an OS, don't create a registry!!!

Graham, I hope, you know to be careful, if you're gonna change in 
the registry! All on your own risk!

hmm. it's pointing to FF

There you go! :) :/

wow ..

= not world of warcraft

wow what?

hehe

Chrome works here - AltMe points to it. You need to set Chrome as 
the default in the Chrome options, not just the start menu.

joke... the comp.ps usergroup is full of wow spam

is set in Chrome options

now where is the chrome binary :( ?
