Changes

There is much to add to this software and a lot of fine tuning that needs to be done.

* I downloaded tn.  I got in yesterday evening and posted one news item.  But going to the neighborhood I get a page load error trying to connect to Bilbo's news or wiki: 'The connection was refused when attempting to contact nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.'  Seems like a certificate/security problem of some sort. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 15:54, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

*: That is not a certificitae/security problem it is a bug. you see the network neighborhood page is just a static HTML file that gets re-written when a new host is added to the network map. and bilbo is one of the 3 test laptops over here and when I tarred up the distribution that html file remained and since you don't have two machines on the mesh running the software it probably never updates that file.

*: In either case, I really am looking forward to tomorrow if you bring in the XO that you put TN on and starst to run it at some point during the demonstration you will receive a lot of posts to the network news system which will propagate to all 4 laptops (or more as the case may be if Jeff has installed it) and all 4 laptops will have the post that you added to the tn.general group on your node.  Plus any other posts anyone decides to add on any of the machines in the room.

*: Also others without the software installed can easily just browse to the IP of any of the laptops running on the mesh and contribute/read postings, play with the wiki etc.  and also download a copy of the software over the mesh from any of the machines running the software. This last bit actually saved my butt once because I didn't realize updating to version 802 would wipe out my custom installed software (including everything in /opt/tn!) I had updated 2 of the 3 test laptops and then found out that my software was gone. but thankfully there was one left that did not get updated yet and I simply restored the software over the mesh from the remaining box.  as long as one machine still exists with tn installed it can be recovered.
