World: r3wp

he didn't say either. it's a mis-quote, or so he says himself.

I was just looking it up and it looks like at the least Pekr was 
correct that it was a reference to 640KB or RAM whether a misquote 
or not.  ;-)

For those who like stats:


110 different people made just over 35,000 posts on this world in 
2008. That's nearly five meg of raw text communication.

Is that growth or shrinkage?

Well, for 2007, we also had 110 active posters, and they made nearly 
45,000 posts. So that's shrinkage in volume, and no growth in population.

Other worlds (which have specialised in R3 development and testing) 
have more than taken up the slack in volumes. I don't have numbers 
for all of them, because I am  not a member of them all.

Small print: I can only count the posts I can see.

The totals include the private groups which I am a member, but not 
those for which I am not.

The totals do not count any private messaging between myself and 
other world members.

ask for a account  for r3-alpha thanks

Is it possible to serve more than one world on the same computer?

I tried and got a "server is already running" message.

I got it to work on a different port.

On windows you do not seem to need to declare the port like on linux.
Windows opens multiple worlds from the gui

Just beware, if you open the worlds in a different order, they will 
use the first available port, so for example if the first world you 
created isn't running, and you start the second world you created, 
the second world will look for the first port, however, the world 
server knows it should have been assigned to the second port.  (excuse 
me not using the port numbers to avoid confusion, but I couldn't 
recall if the first port was 5000, or 5500).  If the server isn't 
using the port is was created on, it won't be recognized by the world 
server.

IN short, order matters, and your servers won't open if they don't 
open with the right port being available.

I going to be serving on a linux box and it seems you can just assign 
the port at start up.
altme -s "world name" -p 5401

Now trying to autostart at boot time but having a trouble...

su -lc '/.../altserve -s world -p port &' user > /dev/null

according ot altme guide
does not seem to launching...

I know the example is for altmeserve but I thought it would work 
for client as well

sorry, my issue was with re-creating a world.  I had multiple worlds 
hosted on the same machine at one time and I cheaped out and didn't 
register the world for $10 US per world.  When the worlds expired 
after 10 days of no usage (which never happened, but they expried 
anyway), I had to recreate the worlds, the order was important in 
that scenario.  Sorry for misleading you.

Is there a known problem changing server types for a world going 
from a linux box to a windows box?

I moved a world from linux to windows and I'm getting this error: 
	AltME Error: Registry: cannot load dataset files: 2

Never mind. The data files are empty. Must have lost data when I 
loaded it to my flash drive. Try again.

Graham needs a prize for being AltME's top public poster since AltME 
REBOL world has been in existence!


See http://www.rebol.org/aga-display-stats.r?world=r3wp&year=2005
thru to year 2008!

Nice going! -- though you are off to a slow start for 2009: not yet 
on the Prolific posters leader board:
http://www.rebol.org/aga-display-stats.r?world=r3wp&year=2009

I'm retiring!

Very impressive.

Graham used to be near the top in the mailing list too!

http://www.mail-archive.com/[rebol-list-:-rebol-:-com]/msg05409.html

uh, when did you start talking about yourself im ht ethird person?

in the

Graham, one of your email addresses comes 7th in the top ML posters 
(page required login to see):
  http://www.rebol.org/ml-author-ranking.r

Graham sometimes likes to talk about himself in the 3rd person.

I was simply worried there were now two of you... although watching 
you both compete directly would be........damned funny...

Graham thought he would adopt a new years resolution, create an online 
persona that is nice to qtask and altme.

sadly 5 of the 12 top posters are not known now to be Rebol users

I'm all for split personalities...

is it just me, or my persona, that has found Altme inaccessible a 
few times today ?

Possible, if you think it happened, it is as good as having happened. 
 But one could also say....

- A router went down
- Bandwidth was limited between NZ and the world.
- The software gremlins don't like you, or you, or the other you.

Since my international web access was fine, I have to pick 3.

I think I'll fade into the background again.

Well almost your name color fade well in the yellow of unread message 
:-)

I used to prefer the green Graham ;-)

Happened again ... got message unable to connect to network.  Rebol.net 
was up but curiously, rebol.com was also inaccessible.

I've had some flakey connectivity to rebol.net, and this world too.

I am guessing these worlds are no longer hosted on the same PC as 
rebol.net now?

This world seems to be on the same IP as rebol.net:
 read dns://www.rebol.net
== 209.167.34.213
Which is the same number as "check your world" for REBOL3:
http://www.altme.com/check.html

(Glad to see Graham's green is back)

And rebdev is down now

- The software gremlins don't like you, or you, or the other you.

And don't like others as well... rebdev was down for them as well

Ah, you thought the "you" was still y'all.

IS ther a way to change the permissions to a shared file/folder after 
its been uploaded. I set it up for 'myself' not realizing it would 
not be available on other computeres I signed onto. I should have 
made it abvailable to my user name I guess.

I think you have to delete and recreate it.

I've been using Altme for a project with a guy who is very non-tech. 
He did not know how to drag a window. Anyway, it is working out great. 
We are using File sharing to re-format a bunch of text files and 
with the abilty to add comments and check lists its saving a lot 
of time over traditional Email. He is still not really up to speed 
so once he is it wil really shine. And with the abiltty to just add 
new members where they can read any old messages to see where we 
are and what we have been doing.


I regret not using it for my Appraisal business. My partner and I 
had to email files back and forth all the time. And sometimes we 
needed to get files from one another but one of us was away or not 
at our computer. If we used Altme we would never have had that problem.

Altme is absolutly cool even with its efficiencies. I set-it-up in 
10 minutes for our small team, and the communication is - instant. 
The only problem is the noise - it has IM nature, so you go off-topic 
pretty fast. But other than that, so far, no other web based system 
can compare in speed. Simple AltME DMS is also good for some basic 
stuff. Off-line sync nature is also welcomed sometimes.

DMS?
