He's already upgraded it from 8.2 to 9.0 over the past week! I think I'll stick with the disk version until the final product is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (If I put the files on a DSSD-sized virtual disk, anyone know if that will still transfer and work on a N anoPEB?) I don't see a reason why not. I use DSSD disks on my CF7+ all the time. The browser files definitely fit on a single DSSD disk, so it's probably best to post the disk image as such.

+Vorticon Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I got my UDS-10 to work with the browser tonight. I have it connected to a wifi to ethernet converter because my router is 2 floors above my hobby room where the TI lives. I used a standard serial cable with a null modem adapter for the connection. Next I'm going to try the online chess program 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I joined an open game of chess yesterday on myti99.com, and was assigned black. There was no white move as of yet, but I was still asked to play a move, so I did and now black has moved first! A revolutionary idea for sure Obviously some kind of bug. Nonetheless, the ability to do something like online multiplayer chess on the TI is astounding. Way to go Corey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLab Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hmm I'll have to try and fix that bug. It may be data-related since that "open" game had been in open status for weeks and I've changed a couple of things since then. I did work on it last night and changed it so the opponent's last move is highlighted when you look at the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 If you are reading this within 15 minutes of this posting... I'm currently in the group chat using the TI at myti99.com. If you want to test it, boot up Stuart's browser and log in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricLab Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well it's an historic day! I was actually on the chat with another human! (I'll have to fire up Eliza for when I'm not at the keyboard) I see that there was a bug that was data-related, so I updated the database to clear my bad message. I think it's allowing for one too many characters in length. Anyway Omega, thanks for the brief chat. I'll be back in my lab later tonight, but I have to get some grub first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hey Corey, That was fun. I used Classic 99 and made an MP3 of the CHIME sound we discussed. It's attached to this message. It sound's a little different than on Real Iron as I remember it. This and a little more volume will do the trick. P.S. Corey, I also notice chat does not allow for a ? question mark.

ElectricLab Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I finally got call chime to work I think it's only possible to do single tones at a time with Stuart's browser, but more volume isn't a probem. What I'll do is make it so you can customize the sound, or at least have a few to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Sounds good. Now that you fixed the chat and I brought my dinner into the den, give me a second to boot up the TI again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLab Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The question mark is a delimiter between a query string and the rest of the URL and can't be used at this time. I could ask Stuart to account for it by subbing them out for their hex equivalent, like we do for spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Okay, here is the CHIME sound as it's meant to be heard. I just recorded this on Real Iron... Chime on Real Iron.mp3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLab Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Stuart has added multi-line text input for his browser (!) It's still being debugged and I'm helping QA it now, but wow is it cool. I will be creating an email client for myti99.com so all registrants will automatically get: <screenname>@myti99.com. I have already modified the chat program to support more lines of input - one line of 42 characters just wasn't cutting it for a proper chat. Is it April 1st yet? Why is it that when I attach a screen shot image, AtariAge seems to rotate it 180 degrees? I manually rotated the image and re-attached it to compensate, and it still comes out rotated. The image is here: http://myti99.com/multilinetest.jpg but AtariAge rotates it for some reason.

+Schmitzi Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 super cool. eMail. Unbelievable ah yes, just doubleclick/open the picture with windows-preview, turn it 90° in any (other) direction, and press the <right-> or <left-arrow> to go to the next picture (there must be at least another pic in the folder for that, of course), or just close the Windows-Previewer. So or so, the "new" picture is saved now. Then - with <right-> or <left-arrow> - navigate back to (or re-open) your tilt picture and just turn it back (90°) to the right view. If you now exit the windows-previewer again (or go to the next pic), this also will be saved, again. I don´t know where this info is beeing saved, maybe in the EXIF-data, but it is saved Have the same problems sometimes on Facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLab Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I don't use Windows but did the same thing on my Mac. I rotated and saved to a new file which AtariAge also showed upside down. If you right-click on my image and view in another window or tab, it's fine but for some strange reason AtariAge is rotating the original.

+InsaneMultitasker Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 The picture is upside down in firefox but shows properly in Safari. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 yes, maybe it has something to do with the camera, how it is orientated while making the pic. And this data is also stored in the pic. AA and Facebook seem to use this for thumbnails, or the browsers. If you do as described before (with windows) this data seems to be overwritten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 TEST: tilt & strange EXIF-data deleted: Can you see the difference on this 2 pics ? open & click on "Save" on each, then you can see it ! -> The exif-removed pic KEEPS up-side-down now So this means, the camera was hold up-side-down (from the cameras point of view) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLab Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I wasn't holding the camera upside down, but I think the orientation data gets fouled up sometimes due to accelerometer readings being off. I guess I've seen this before with portrait vs landscape with videos taken on my phone, but the strange thing here is that it's ok everywhere - my computer's image previewer, the browser, etc, and it's only AtariAge that is misinterpreting the data when it is creating thumbnails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Sounds great! One nitpick I have with text input in the browser is how slow it is in processing typed characters, which makes for really slow typing. Is there a way to improve on that?
