Kero is back [now with uploads]

[derobert]

Ok, this external USB2 drive is slow Not going to finish by Monday, sorry.

What does everyone think of posting updates on Twitter? There must be /some/ use for that site

And it seems no one is using the has-tag #kero...

I am not exactly sure that I am supposed to say it here since I am fairly new to the uploading process but I am pretty sure that my current problem has to do with this situation. I tried uploading a video this weekend and just got the message "couldn't connect to host." When I tried to confirm my video and it said to report it to the forums. When I tried to report it to the forums, it was then I found out about the new upgrade for Kero which I tried to go through.

Now when I tried to upgrade today (Monday), the confirm video message was still on. The video I am trying to upload is my "KyLewin's Time and Again."

Thanks so much for your time and sorry again if I was supposed to report this somewhere else.

Yeah, uploads won't work until Kero is fully upgraded. Sorry.

Twitter is fantastic :OOOOOOO

Just curious, since I didn't see it on the Twitter page. Is there a current ETA? Obviously you said it's not going to be Monday(today), but is it a near-term thing, or is it more likely to be closer to the end of the week?
I gather the MD5 is being finicky, whatever that means, but is that the last step you have?

i just hope it doesnt take you too much time and effort to upgrade kero

hi

i read kero was being upgrade on weekend, but i supuse it's taking so much long...
this wil be the oficial thread to announce when it's donde??

bye thx!

sorry for my english...

Well, once I finally get the MD5 mess sorted it, it'll take over a day to copy the videos back. So, this is going to be end-of-week at earliest. Might — though I sure hope not — wind up being very early next week.

I will definitely post here (and, indeed, to the news on the main page) when downloads are available again. After downloads are back, it'll also be a while (another week or so) before uploads are back.

Sorry for the lack of twitter updates, just posted one now summarizing this message.

I'll put in a *no* vote for Twitter.

Most of those services compromise peoples' privacy and anonymity to some degree or another.
Personally, with the exception of this site and exactly two others, I draw the line at "Login" / "Password" + cookies required, or Javascript. If I hit any of those, I'm *out.* So I'm not on LinkedIn or Facebook or Google-anything.

Basically, outside of the three particular exceptions, I treat the Internet like CB radio in the 70's:
- Anyone can buy and use the equipment,
- While you broadcast and listen, nobody really knows or care where or who you really are,
- don't do stupid stuff like broadcast personal information or your credit card numbers over the air,
- the police might be listening too,so planning a bank job over the air is pretty moronic,
- Other than that everyone has lots of fun and you even get to choose nicknames ("handles")
