07/16/2007 17:12:23 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
<phew> made it!
07/16/2007 17:13:17 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Yeah. Sorry about the late notice. I had a catastrophic diaper
failure I was dealing with.
07/16/2007 17:13:25 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
ew.
07/16/2007 17:13:30 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
The baby's diaper. My diaper is fine.
07/16/2007 17:13:34 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Anyway.
07/16/2007 17:13:35 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Is anyone else coming?
07/16/2007 17:14:12 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
I don't know. Am I right that: The plan was for people to test
drive parts of OBO-Edit that they didn't understand, and ask questions?
07/16/2007 17:14:46 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Maybe ... at any rate, I had essentially the same impression.
07/16/2007 17:15:07 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
I'm just sending the URL where I finally tracked down the participant
entry for this meeting.
07/16/2007 17:15:22 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Didn't I forward an email to the group?
07/16/2007 17:16:25 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
er, yes, but it took me to a page that wanted a host username & password
-- it looked like a reminder to the host (e.i. you) rather than the
invite for everyone else.
07/16/2007 17:16:38 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
er, that should say 'i.e., you' ...
07/16/2007 17:16:51 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Opps.
07/16/2007 17:16:59 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
er, that should say 'Oops' ...
07/16/2007 17:17:17 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
both doing real well here ...
07/16/2007 17:18:38 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Was there anything in particular you wanted to work with?
07/16/2007 17:18:44 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Anyhoo, just frantically running the beta8 installer; just remembered
that Webex can't share the platform-independent ver, at least from a
mac.
07/16/2007 17:19:02 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Then I'll see if I get the same blank-screen oddness that I saw at home
the other day.
07/16/2007 17:20:10 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
I've had that problem too, and it's very odd.
07/16/2007 17:20:34 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
I think that it's coming out of an error in the docking
framework that it's not reporting to the outside world.
07/16/2007 17:20:57 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
OK, installer has finished. One thing I've noticed already: no desktop
icon, even tho I left it at the default "do create one" setting. Noticed
this with beta8 and one other (7 probably) at home.
07/16/2007 17:21:06 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Glad the blankness isn't just me.
07/16/2007 17:21:07 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
This is Mac OS?
07/16/2007 17:21:18 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
yup, 10.4.10
07/16/2007 17:21:34 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
When I've gotten the blank screen, I can fix it by restarting
OBO-Edit, and then rebuilding my screen with the Show -> <whatever
component> menus.
07/16/2007 17:22:02 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
I'll make sure this is fixed before an official release. But
since there's no feedback of any kind from the toolkit, it's going to
take a while.
07/16/2007 17:22:13 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
I recall that not working for me; I had to throw away the .oboeditbeta
contents :(
07/16/2007 17:22:29 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Then it was OK without having to rebuild manually.
07/16/2007 17:23:05 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
If that happens again, send me...
07/16/2007 17:23:31 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
The contents of your .oboedit/perspectives directory.
07/16/2007 17:23:41 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
will do
07/16/2007 17:23:49 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
It would be useful to get some broken files to work with.
07/16/2007 17:24:27 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
In other news, OBO-Edit has started up, and the config manager thinks it
has 512M or memory.
07/16/2007 17:24:42 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Is that the setting you gave in the installer?
07/16/2007 17:25:01 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
This is odd because the installer guessed 1536M (of ~3G).
07/16/2007 17:25:07 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
so, no.
07/16/2007 17:25:34 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
I left the installer to use its 1536M guess.
07/16/2007 17:25:52 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Try resetting the value and restarting. I just realized that the
technique I'm using for setting the memory from the installer may have a
problem on Mac OS.
07/16/2007 17:26:40 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
Mac OS (unlike every other platform) has a special way of
sending memory settings to Java applications. I think that the memory
settings are correct, but the file that tells OBO-Edit what to display
may not be written correctly on Mac OS.
07/16/2007 17:26:42 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Yes, it's remembered a change to 1024M.
07/16/2007 17:26:59 PM from John Day-Richter to All Participants:
I think my theory is right then. <sigh> There's another bug to
deal with.
07/16/2007 17:27:06 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Now I shall stick my neck out and try to change the font!
07/16/2007 17:27:20 PM from Midori Harris to All Participants:
Jen - want transcript-so-far?
07/16/2007 17:27:33 PM from Jennifer Deegan to All Participants:
yes please
