Welcome to Free-Haven Friend Network

I've had a few I wish I had not let go, the 74 strat, and Martin D35, especially.

I have now only an Alvarez Yairi DY 48 (in this awesome case I painted) which I love and was a gift from my Dad in 1989, and I have the Starcaster I bought the kid which she just traded up for the Squier mini.

Carlos, pergunta a https://friendika.me4.it/profile/support si puede implementar-lo

Friendika.me4.it no tiene el plug-in jappixmini

http://dir.friendica.com/siteinfo

I already tried searching for it in the settings, but (go figure) Friendika.me4.it does *not* have the plugin, yet.

I have a '77 Strat but hardly ever play it. Can't seem to part with it though. :)

Here's where to look with questions like that, Carlos: http://friendica.com/resources

And here's the specific answer: http://friendica.com/node/29

How to enable it?

The Starcaster line is crap.
Guitar Center here (where we got this squier mini) won't even carry them.
Squier are good.
My first electric ever was a Squier Strat, and I've only owned either Squier Strats, Fender Strats, and one Gibson Invader.
Had a 1974 Fender Strat once...wish I still had that one.

Looks really nice! We got my youngest a Les Paul Pee Wee at a sale last year about the same price. It was a pack and the amp was really bad, but the guitar is way cool.

a few years ago i walked into guitar center and they had a couple chinese full-size strats. the guy said it was a 'market test' or something and trying to get rid of them lol. so i impulse-bought one (he actually made fun of me for buying it, wtf) and i have to say it felt and sound pretty darn close to the real thing. no quality issues. :) except for the 'made in china' on the back .. lol.. i don't have it anymore, gave it to a musician friend in oakland who had her gear stolen.

It's actually pretty sweet, this little guitar. Solidly constructed, sounds great.

I had got her a Fender Starcaster, but, frankly, it's a piece o' shite, like, made in some Chinese toy factory, rough edges, fret buzz, blah blah...but not this Squier, which cost only $99. I'm tempted to get myself one!

It's a mini, meaning smaller, good for her. I suppose I'd want the full-sized one.

Or, I guess it's a "Squier" not "Squire". doh

My kid is spoiled. Yesterday she got a brand, spanking new Squire Mini-Strat in bright, shiny red.

So, it looks like next weekend I am going to Six Flags and seeing Adam Lambert, as part of my kid's birthday.



He's a good singer.
I like his cover of Mad World (but not as much as Tears for Fears' version).

If you're using a self-signed cert for your BOSH server (like me), you need to point any browser at that address ONCE to accept the cert. You don't get that choice from jappixmini itself - and a self-signed cert will simply be rejected silently until you have visited the BOSH server explicitly. With some browsers, even that trick won't work - you probably require a trusted cert for those.

it does not work in IE9. tried at school

jappix also seems to hang there with 'please wait...' on opera browser (on my freebsd machine anyway).

certainly easier install than D* ... doesn't seem so messy either. already a good start there.

i knew pistos wanted to create his own thing as soon as he started grumbling about diaspora's shortcoming :)

I've also created my node (http://libertree.free-beer.ch) but am logged off nearly after each action. Is it the same for you ? And do you know how trees can be connected ?

Libertree? what's that?

The other thing the could happen is that Pistos-fork pods evolve toward Libertree.

One thing that interests me is that they seem to have started with a protocol and then built from there. D* seems to have done the opposite, particularly with their upcoming protocol. I'd love to hear from both groups why they made their particular choice.

@Birch Wind Pistos is doing something else now: Libertree. I think that possibly spells the slow end of his Diaspora fork, though I obviously can't speak for him.

Question is: Do we care about the hype any longer?

It's infuriating that they advertise features (decentralisation) that they neither have nor plan to implement in any serious way. But aren't they just another commercial entity not telling the truth, now? Do I really care that half a dozen manufacturers make the fastest car on earth and that five of them must be lying? While they were still hovering on the boundaries between community spirit and corporate buzz, they seemed worth talking to and about (scant though the responses were). But now that they have clarified their position, the contradictions are just down to standard marketing insincerity. If D* ever recaptures the public's attention, journalists will be quick to tear its PR to shreds. Until then, the people joining up are just falling for some niche-cool, as @tony baldwin points out.

Maybe I'm not added to your frndc.com account. ?

one of my favourites.

finally, after almost 7 hours, we see everyone and everything

This isn't a code issue. Just coincidence that two of us got the same problem at the same time as that change.

I found this immensely amusing...or terrifying...or both.

I'm translating customer satisfaction surveys from Latin America (various countries), and the customer responses, like at least 80% of them, are so poorly written, misspelled, lacking punctuation, no capitalization, etc., that it's embarrassing, and sometimes confusing. Now, were they customer surveys about, say, beer, or something, perhaps it would be expected. I've translated surveys for common consumer products before. But, these are medical laboratory professionals, responding to a survey about medical lab testing equipment! Shameful.

But this response cracked me up (except, when you think of it, it's rather dismaying...medical professionals, and a lot of the responses are written worse than this one):

q l serbicio tecneco es pesimo y q CompanyX tene que acostombrarse y darse cuenta que en latinoamerica hay peoofesionales muy bien preparados y tene que aprender a reconocerlos ya que como empresa mo nos reconoce

I only altered the company name, to protect the innocent...

ok , here in frndk.de I can see also Birch Wind and foonetic , but in my account in frndc.com I can see only Tony Giaco and JCC

Ok, perhaps that explains why I haven't noticed any unusual slowdowns on the network page.

Slow page loads (~40 seconds according to pingdom, verses the usual ~12 seconds) on the network and profile tabs. Other pages load normally.

You haven't pulled the most recent changes yet though (they went in last night - you're on rev 1343, we're on 1344).

What am I looking for in terms of issues? Slow performance when posting?

Potential problem with the new XML parser.
It seems to have caused performance issues here.  Reverting to the old version has improved things somewhat, but not completely.
Can anybody else confirm this before I whinge about it to Mike?

I have accounts on JD and on Calispora. They recently fixed something, so that posts from one to the other now take minutes (rather than 3-25 hours) to appear on the other. There is still the issue of lost posts (some posts never federate).

I agree that most of the people I see from my account on JD these days do not seem to have any concept of distributed or federated networks. They just want cool looks and a few new features.

diasp.org and diasp0ra.ca are my two. I was on poddery also but there were some glitches or lags or something -mainly only used it for my SecondLife/OpenSim avatar :D. I love Pistos' diasp0ra.ca but it often is really really laggy, just one of the drawbacks of having so many people on a smaller server I guess... but I admire all he does and love that he has it. (groups and chat *woot!*) I like keeping my diasp.org account to see what the main branch of D* is doing, though most of my contacts there are actually from here at F* lol.

cool:)

I sent this to a friend the day I explained to him how SQL injection works. I don't know whether he got my explanation. But he definitely got it after that strip...

My first D* acct was on poddery.com
then I moved to wk3.org
I also have an acct. on calispora.org, which is a pistos pod.
I go weeks without signing in to them, but do check them once in a while.
I mostly keep them to be able to test f-d connectivity.
