Re: Uzenet

I deployed it on the VPS, eats about 70Megs of RAM with the console app. Nice work, that isn't too bad at all. If it needs more ram later then I'd say upgrade, but I think it's ok with ~100mb free for current plans. Although Linux server would be cheaper I must admit a *greatly* prefer working on W...

Re: New PCB rev on the horizon

Great news Alec, I will buy 4 for development/gifts from the get go. Some of them, like version 1, have the same pinout so that's good. It's very difficult to even find a pinout for some versions...or even to find what all the versions are, but I'd vote for supporting the most different types possib...

Re: Uzenet

Btw, how's the RAM on the VPS with Tomcat? If it's already at the top, the whole webapp thing is a nogo. In keeping with the minimalism and fast processors+small ram motif, the server is 3.4ghz with 256 ram so it's all processor and internet connection. There are other VPS that are cheaper with mor...

Re: Uzenet

Triple post :shock: Alec I threw a new version of the chat server up so don't count that disconnect as the 8266's fault. You can now send "+hb" every once in a while and the server will ignore it. There are some new commands implemented now that should more or less work correctly: "+c...

Re: SCART output not taking into account TV input impedance?

I think it's hard to jump into changing a standard without proven experiments. I don't have an E/Uzebox myself but it seems to me you could easily keep the resistors in place but also add a little more solder and a small wire from each point the resistors connect to the PCB effectively bypassing the...

Re: Uzenet

I just was watching some games on telnet: nethack.alt.org using PuTTY and I do want to implement some simple uzenet telnet client since then you could play any of those games using just one program on the Uzebox. But another pretty interesting idea would be to do scrolling games streaming the data f...

Re: Uzenet

A leaderboard status page is definitely something I'd like to see first. I have a good chunk of a simple high score server going and it's totally non-specific to score format and easy. I'll get that up soonish. I think I have read it needs so send or receive stuff periodically to avoid timeout. I'l...

Re: Weber's Rants (tutorials)

Thanks Paul, very kind feedback! I am all for the most efficiency possible to get some one new up to speed or a veteran not have to reinvent the wheel on some knowledge that was already hard won. Plus to document things I will forget in the future :) "Life is too short, and experiments take a l...

Re: Uzenet

I got Apache installed on the VPS and threw together a placeholder concept page, check it out at uzebox.net . If you have any ideas or know anything about how to configure Apache, well you da man Alec, do what you will! I will have to remember java script at some point, I think we would need java+we...

Re: Uzenet

That domain name is perfect for this, very cool. Not much to change a name at this point but this would be the last opportunity to ask, do you have any preference for Uzebox.Net for the name versus UzeNet?
