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 :-D

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.

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?

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")

You'll be happy to know that you can read my Twitter updates without logging in and with both cookies and JavaScript off. Heck, I just tried it in Lynx. There is also the lightweight interface (same non-requirements).

You can also follow the Atom or RSS feeds. Once again, with neither logins nor cookies and JavaScript.

(I plan to post quick, frequent status updates on Twitter. Big updates will go here, too. Very big ones to the front-page news as well.)

If not, you can just cancel the upload and request it again to get a new username/password.
