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 :( ?

%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome

who would use Chrome anyway? Useless attempt for the browser :-)

I would, because the memory and screen usage are a better fit for 
the netbook I do most of my stuff from nowadays :)

Same with the CPU usage, except for Flash.

so you support another try for the vendor lock-in, hype, and all 
of that? :-)

Paul: <I just realized this group i s web-public and that means the 
links are now public.  Did we want that to happen?>

Nick has also posted the links and default userid/passwords on the 
ML, so yes, those details are public.

Still, worth bearing in mind this is all [web-public], so stay on 
topic :-)

I'm a fan of Chrome, but it is too buggy for me still.  If FF speeds 
up JavaScript, I'll stick with it.  However, we are thinking of releasing 
a custom version of Chrome for Qtask.
