| schestowitz | I contacted my colleague and she was unable or unwilling to substitute me that day. | Jul 11 01:56 |
| schestowitz | I then checked to see how I can squeeze in a trip to London that day, returning to Manchester on time. | Jul 11 01:56 |
| schestowitz | Finally I checked the schedule at | Jul 11 01:56 |

| schestowitz | "The only GMO I want is my damn perennials to be made into annuals! That would be actual gene splicing, though, and not the primitive allele-shredding gene "shotguns" their blasting though test species..." | Jul 11 08:12 |
| schestowitz | [09:22] <schestowitz> I can't log into the new identi.ca, oher people I speak to have the same issue | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:22] <schestowitz> Can't even reset the password, it's broken | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:22] <schestowitz> I miss statusnet already | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:22] <ErkanYilmaz2> schestowitz you can get an account on the many Sn servers or set it up yourself ? | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:22] <ErkanYilmaz2> you could also use friendica which federates with SN | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:23] <ErkanYilmaz2> diaspora doesn't which you installed | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:23] <ErkanYilmaz2> about pumping identica: I guess you tried different browsers ? | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:24] <ErkanYilmaz2> here are SN servers, try the (A) marked ones first, if you make a decision: http://skilledtests.com/wiki/List_of_Independent_Statusnet_Instances | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:46] <schestowitz> ErkanYilmaz2: I tried chromium and firefox | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:46] <schestowitz> can't enter the password until 8 chars long (it's shorter) | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:46] <ErkanYilmaz2> ok, then I guess we need to wait until Evan wakes up again | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:46] <schestowitz> Can't press "login" I mean | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:46] <schestowitz> and can't retrieve/reset it either, bad testing IMHO | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:47] <schestowitz> but to evan's credit, it sems like he may have preserved old URLs and content where possible | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:47] <schestowitz> (which I'm very grateful for, was worth waiting for that) | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:49] <schestowitz> Oh, actually no, it's broken | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:49] <schestowitz> e.g. http://identi.ca/notice/100948920 | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:49] <schestowitz> bye bye links | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:49] <ErkanYilmaz2> evan wants to set up another server so the old url links sta yteh same | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:50] <ErkanYilmaz2> I guess he hasn't set up it yet | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:50] <schestowitz> hmmm... links in the site itself are broken too, the new CMS | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:51] <schestowitz> cleArly still not ready to roll | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:51] <schestowitz> ErkanYilmaz2: even some links that I see in the new CMS, with the same link structure, don't work now | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:51] <ErkanYilmaz2> Iguess it#s expected that things don't work yet | Jul 11 10:09 |
| schestowitz | [09:52] <ErkanYilmaz2> if they don't work until Sunday I#d worry more | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:52] <schestowitz> anyway, I'd be forever thankful if all the old content is preserved, that was my main phobia about this migration | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:52] <ErkanYilmaz2> I htink you got your backup, right ? | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:52] <ErkanYilmaz2> though its missing the other dents (replies to conv.) | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:52] <schestowitz> other issues being,, my software (widgets, desktop applications, IRC bot, etc.) no longer work | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:53] <schestowitz> I didn't get my backup, I'd have to get it by email as the web UI times out on me | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:53] <ErkanYilmaz2> I thought you + Evan communicated over it? | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:53] <ErkanYilmaz2> I remember a conversation where Evan asked you | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:53] <schestowitz> anyway, I'm relieved to see he worked on preserving old content, I just want to be able to log in, but can't | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:53] <schestowitz> I don't need a backup yet, provided old content is available and exportable | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:54] <ErkanYilmaz2> well, then you just have to wait until Evan wakes up again | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:55] <schestowitz> yeah, I can wait... does pump.io have many features? I heard it's still very young, so I keep my expectations low. It looks like an attempt to reproduce diaspora, where even some denters have gone | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:56] <ErkanYilmaz2> the initial idea is - as I got it - | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:56] <ErkanYilmaz2> pumpio just acts as a framework | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [09:56] <ErkanYilmaz2> while the clients (which are few) do the main tasks | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:00] <schestowitz> BTW | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:01] <schestowitz> As I really apprciate all you know... | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:01] <schestowitz> Do you know if the widget will be back to working? | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:01] <schestowitz> I mean, the code is still there, but it won't render any posts | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:01] <ErkanYilmaz2> what is the widget ? heard of it now the 1st time | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:01] <schestowitz> Code: | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:01] <schestowitz> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://identi.ca/js/identica-badge.js"> | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:02] <schestowitz> I was about to remove it, but maybe there's a plan to restore it to working order | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:02] <schestowitz> / copyright Kent Brewster 2008 | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:03] <ErkanYilmaz2> what does it do? | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:03] <ErkanYilmaz2> I see this http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/blobs/master/js/identica-badge.js | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:03] <ErkanYilmaz2> but don't expect me to read that right now | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:04] <ErkanYilmaz2> is the functionality this: "If you see an author's name in a post, click it to explore his or her friends' posts. Click the avatar to visit the home page. To visit the author's identi.ca page, click the top link, to so-and-so with friends. Unicode should be (finally) working." ? | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:09] <schestowitz> Anyway, seems like Evan did listen to users and implemented means by which to keep all data accessible through the old URL. That's the only big criticism I had, the second being API compatibility... | Jul 11 10:10 |
| schestowitz | [10:37] <marjolein> ErkanYilmaz2, the "identica badge" is a widget that is supposed to show "you and friends". What it actually does is show ONE last dent from each of your contacts, and nothnig from you. Styling is problematic, too. | Jul 11 11:17 |
