Synergy:panic!
This is a log of the IRC chatter during the OTIS project's first panic!
collaborative event.
> well, this is a test of this irc logging to http server thing
> hopefully i wont crash my server!
*** Oed has joined channel #panic!
*** Mode change "+o Oed " on channel #panic! by Irc.Indiana.Edu
> hi ed!
> sorry i am late!!!!
And OTIS said, let there be manips.
> ha HA! go go go
*** danfuzz has joined channel #panic!
*** Mode change "+o danfuzz " on channel #panic! by irc.netsys.com
No prob, I just got here a minute ago.
*** danfuzz is now known as danfuzzD4
We're having a few little problems with the mac-modem hooking to the
net-account.
> at the club?
BUT, I see you guys went wild with the manips last night.
*** Action: danfuzzD4 sighs.
Murphy always wins.
Got them all waiting to be shown live.
Yeah, the modem here at the club.
Excellent.
> missed the real fun last night, i did.
Music's playing and people are circulating.
> but am THAT MUCH MORE ready to manip TONIGHT.
Hopefully more to be had tonight.
We have the morphstation up and running.
I think the OTIS mascot should be a bored Robyn.
(she's always stuck watching me click away on the keys)
> if i disappear, it is because this irc->httpserver bizness was too much and
blew up the uwi server!!!!
At least we'll have something to weep over.
First starter image for the night is up: d4-001.jpg
> yes! "it worked for a while" said ed, sobbing.
You guys can get to some more manips right now.
> alright, i am going to another mac, will be "uwi" of course.......
I cleared all the contents of /smartBOMB to /smartBOMB/old
the /smartBOMB/photos directory should start getting photos from here as
soon as that modem is fixed.
> hey i put my images up today!? did they get moved to the old one! sob.
my fault.
*** UWI has joined channel #panic!
looks like the irc thing is working for now. this channel is being
logged and can be read from my www server.
(21:57:44) oop. just turned timestamping on, so that will be logged too.
(21:57:55) TIME STAMPS ARE *EST*.
(21:58:23) nobbad.
(22:07:03) (just had a chat with Robert Williams from FEED)
(22:07:31) We have a photo of one of the cyberplex guys...should be
sending it up soon.
(22:08:19) ceeripes. blew up the mac again. manipulating aint as easy
at it used to be... sigh.
(22:09:56) Think I'm jumping off for now...
(22:10:05) IMAGE TRANSFER....the gig is on.
(22:10:06) righto
(22:10:07) lato
(22:14:28) Status report, anyone
(22:14:54) first image is there to manip (there = ftp site).
(22:15:06) guess ed is working on the modems to give pics to us.
(22:15:41) (that is, give the photos of people in minneapolis to us ..
the panic part)
(22:16:09) where should i put this pic i got...?
(22:16:52) that is, where to put new stuff
(22:17:09) in the /pub/multimedia/pictures/OTIS/smartBOMB dir...
(22:17:28) all new stuff there. old stuff (yesterday) moved to dir "old".
(22:17:30) rihgt ho
(22:18:35) i'll do that a.s.a.p! (this is fun!)
(22:20:49) So I'm early. Should I prep. for any sound clips
tonight, or is it all visual?
(22:21:09) visual only, far as I know.
(22:21:11) i think visual... only cuz it is a club
(22:21:17) (i.e. lots o music)
(22:21:17) Thanks.
(22:22:20) new munging from image from last night: d4a5d4-angel.jpg
(22:23:25) will check it out.
(22:23:41) just up'd a QUICK rehash of d4-001 ...
(22:24:08) I'll have to get it and see...
(22:24:16) please do.
(22:25:42) This is probably a real inappropriate time to ask, but
who do I talk to at UWI about becoming a node?
(22:25:52) (A new publishing co., not me personally.)
(22:25:57) also, just put up 2 previously created images "made just for
synergy:smartbomb"
(22:26:44) that'd be me, matthews. can email:
uwi@pobox.pds.med.umich.edu
(22:26:44) OK.
(22:26:44) no prob
(22:28:11) I can't quite make out the words on d9d4-001.jpg...
(22:28:41) oh sorry! was too quick i guess... "break out of there, man!"
it says.
(22:28:55) ah!
(22:28:58) I see now.
(22:29:06) it is subliminal i guess!!!!
(22:29:56) i like the ...-angel.jpg from last night.
(22:30:25) Thanks.
(22:31:17) hey all
(22:31:37) has everything started yet?
(22:32:00) A little bit.
(22:32:12) okay... good, I haven't missed much yet ;)
(22:32:27) gotta go set things up...
(22:32:37) There are 6 images upped so far, but no photos from the
party yet.
(22:33:12) If we're on the Mosaic, are we going to have to change in
and out of the directory every few seconds to get the new uploads?
(22:33:31) (or is there a way to monitor change as it happens?)
(22:33:31) i think you can do a "refresh"
(22:33:39) or "reload" i mean
(22:33:48) (command-R on macs)
(22:34:03) You're right. It's Refresh Current on XMosaic.
(22:34:14) cool. yeah, think that will do it.
(22:34:38) that is how i am testing the irc log. you just keep doing
reload/refresh, and there are new lines added! a MIRACLE!
(22:35:15) We'll see how fast the Refresh works when the line gets
jammed, though... How're you expecting the load to be?
(22:35:51) well, the cool thing (for me and my mosaic server) is people
are only attached to it when they get smart.html . . .
(22:36:03) .. then when they go to sunsite, there is NO load on my server!
(22:36:41) Which is where I am. Good idea--on your part. There's
no one else over here yet... SunSITE / UNC, that is.
(22:36:50) so most people will only attach to my site *once*! then not
again (cuz mosaic will cache it).
(22:36:54) Still kinda dallying on modem...will be coming in soon. Had
to go get a new one.
(22:37:01) At least, no one in the offices.
(22:37:03) (or another one...not purchase a new one)
(22:37:17) how crowded is it ed?
(22:37:30) The Rogue or sunsite?
(22:37:37) ha ha! rogue sorry.
(22:37:43) I'd say, about 75-100 people here...
(22:37:54) what did it peak at last night?
(22:38:04) Lotta people watching "VOYEUR" from cd-i.
(22:38:21) I'd say about 300.
(22:38:37) I don't know that I was here during peak hour.
(22:38:48) Went to the megamall today...10k people there...
(22:39:09) cool. minneapolis is a great place -- was there for fisea.
didnt get to the mall (thank god -- was november = xmas rush).
(22:39:11) Is the IRC accessible / displayed there (at Rogue)?
(22:39:45) Matt: Nope...could if we wanted, but he's trying to get the
modem going on the video-feeding mac.
(22:40:09) Stupid setbacks...but there's cool music.
(22:40:27) They have a dataglove/VR demo going not 20 feet away.
(22:40:52) Many people don't even know this is a special event.
(22:41:01) Just lots of monitors and stuff around.
(22:41:12) Looks like the Modem MIGHT be working!
(22:41:16) Yes...
(22:41:28) Cool place.
(22:41:54) Should be getting live pics coming...
(22:42:09) (the guy was trouble-shooting that mac too.)
(22:42:20) (the one grabbing the photos)
(22:43:07) brb
(22:43:16) uit
(22:43:45) are the things being used now in the photos dir?
(22:44:06) oh guess not...
(22:45:27) are we just working from what's there?
(22:46:56) And the ULs in the smartbomb directory, I believe.
(22:47:06) (One dir. up.)
(22:47:10) yah... not much there yet...
(22:48:44) Okay...the first picture should be showing up in the
smartBOMB/photos directory any time now.
(22:49:43) gotta go...
(22:51:00) Sent a pic but couldn`t conv from tif, im afraid...
(22:51:42) it and I'll conv it
(22:51:47) err send ->
