@mfreitas Cool! Any possibility you are recording it? :-)
arco Mar 30, 2018
Logging in for once again. Twisting is still working, that's a good sign! :-) Who's still active?

Check this out btw, did my first try on live coding music the other day: https://youtu.be/WhQJpVkID3g 🎵

@vegos Nice! :-)

@robertwgehl Ha, yea! I stopped watching after three episodes tonight. It was too much, I need something uplifting now

Anybody has seen the series "Black Mirror"? It's amazing. Really makes you wonder where the hell we are going in this digital age

Woho, finally found a copy of my private key on my old laptop! I'm back 😅

Wooo 21 days since I started Twister. Traveled/moved to Cape Town, South Africa in the meantime. Busy getting everything sorted out here.

Just accidentally discovered you can dock windows in Scribus 1.5. Amazing! Why didn't anyone tell me!? 😱
arco Oct 21, 2015
@sorceressofmath Yes! Twists. And retweeting is retwisting (in my opinion 😜)
arco Oct 19, 2015
If you aren't following @newusers yet, do it now. Quite interesting to see who signs up for Twister. And it isn't as much spam as I thought

Back in Amsterdam. Rain, rain, rain, every everyday...
arco Oct 15, 2015
@erkanyuksel Any feedback? What do you think? :-)
arco Oct 14, 2015
@lifescale Currently I don't have a Mac version. There will be in the future though
arco Oct 14, 2015
@lifescale Yes, it's a Twister client I am working on. And @kseistrup, I'll be using this as an slogan, thanks 😜
arco Oct 14, 2015
@ulrichard For now you can download a zip with a binary here though: https://github.co/ArcoMul/Twisting/releases
arco Oct 14, 2015
@ulrichard I was just wondering since you created the issue about packaging
arco Oct 14, 2015
@ulrichard Hey, did you try Twisting? Or are you first waiting for a .deb package? :-)
arco Oct 13, 2015
@robertwgehl It could be, but how would anyone know. In my opinion better to use opt-in and display a preview of the data that gets tracked
arco Oct 13, 2015

Hahaha, perfect, Googling "twister core" on Google Images: http://images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=twister+core
arco Oct 12, 2015
@jpfox I do think though that most people who forget easily about Twister, don't run it on a server. But that's an assumption.
arco Oct 12, 2015
@jpfox No idea who is the exception here 😄 I mostly start Twister when I use my pc
arco Oct 12, 2015
@rysiek Ha, I actually started first development of Twisting on an airport. Maybe we should advertise Twister on airports 😂
arco Oct 12, 2015
@jpfox Or is this meant for people running Twister on their server? I just start the deamon when I use Twister for example.
arco Oct 12, 2015
@jpfox But you would have to run an always-on node somewhere to track when users are notified right?
arco Oct 12, 2015
@jpfox Haha, well I do. Even then it's hard to get a grasp on what times need to be converted, and what not, and when, and why 😝
arco Oct 12, 2015
Trying to handle timezone of date/times and conversion between timezones, my brain just can't handle it #dev #horror

@brunus Hahaha, damn IE5, how... how are those people even possible to browser ANY website? 😂
arco Oct 12, 2015
@brunus If only that would also be the date people would stop using it. We still get visits from IE7 users 😲

@mfreitas The account @randomrt managed to retwist a twist of mine which I couldn't even see myself (I guess since that post is only in dht)
arco Oct 11, 2015
Awww yesss, fixed an annoying 'bug'. @mfreitas seems like posts with a wrong k are published in dht, but not in the usertorrent. Possible?
arco Oct 11, 2015
Test 7... 8... 9... please let this work...
arco Oct 11, 2015
Test 4... 5... 6... sorry for the debugging on my main account
arco Oct 04, 2015
It's funny that the only thing I can rely on with a really slow connection is Twister. If only there were more Twists... 😄
arco Oct 04, 2015
Squashing a lot of bugs today in Twisting :-)
arco Oct 02, 2015
@erkanyuksel @mfreitas Aha oke, that is rather annoying. Do you know any other way to see how far the torrent download has progressed? :-)
arco Oct 02, 2015
@erkanyuksel @mfreitas But if I would instruct to create a post with k 999 (which is possible AFAIK) what would be the result in 'bitfield'?
arco Oct 02, 2015
@erkanyuksel @mfreitas So you think there is a direct correlation between the k of posts and the amount of 1s and 0s in the bitfield field?
arco Oct 02, 2015
@mfreitas Do you think that should give an accurate view of the posts you have of a user? I'd believe if everyone has some 'lost' posts.
arco Oct 02, 2015
@mfreitas I'm counting from end to start, and start counting when encountering the first 1 (so I leave out the last few 0s).
arco Oct 02, 2015
.@black_puppydog It's the 1s vs 0s from the field 'bitfield' in the torrentstatus RPC call . Not 100% sure how accurate it is, @mfreitas
arco Oct 02, 2015
@black_puppydog @vegos @thedod That's seem pretty cool actually. Thanks for the tip! Might go there :-)
arco Oct 01, 2015
I'm even missing two of my own posts 😅 hehe
arco Oct 01, 2015
Buuh, I'm missing so many posts of you guys: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1146818/Twister/Various/following.png
arco Sep 30, 2015
@thedod @vegos Yea, I would be up for meeting! That would be cool 😄 Let's PM about this
arco Sep 29, 2015
@kseistrup Aha! That would be 'bitfields' from the torrentstatus rpc call probably. Thanks, going to look into it
arco Sep 29, 2015
Any hints @mfreitas?
arco Sep 29, 2015
Trying to figure out how to get the status of users (torrents). To see if all the posts of the users you follow are downloaded.
arco Sep 29, 2015
@kseistrup Thanks, same for you! 😀
arco Sep 29, 2015
Also big internet problems (under Linux) in my apartment, good moment to test Twister/Twisting with a super slow connection (10kb/s!!!)
arco Sep 29, 2015

Twisting v0.2.1-alpha https://github.com/ArcoMul/Twisting/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpa Progress is being made, slowly but steady...
arco Aug 23, 2015
@erkan_yilmaz @chinanet @testtwister0123 I have no idea how signing works, that's why I didn't do it. But I'll look into it and see if I can
arco Aug 18, 2015
@chinanet @erkan_yilmaz Managed to build, Twisting 09.31 for Windows: https://mega.nz/#!TFpjhRbT!C73aiNgIkIyDbtY15kN6oRS8g9zi4jw0Z-3kdGL7r-E
arco Aug 17, 2015
Really impressed with Scribus. Converted an InDesign document I've been using for two years, in a day. Open source for the win!
arco Aug 16, 2015
@chinanet Oh, sure! I'll put it up as a seperate file too then :-)
arco Aug 16, 2015
@chinanet Keep in mind though that I have no idea if it works with Tor, and registering of new users is not yet possible.
arco Aug 16, 2015
@chinanet Oh yea, true. I will upload it to Mega too
arco Aug 16, 2015
@avatarx Let me know what you think :-)
arco Aug 16, 2015
@chinanet Shit, actually it doesn't. Quite essential for users in China isn't? I will release one with 0.9.30 hopefully today then.
arco Aug 15, 2015
Completely redesigned it since last alpha release, screenshots: https://github.com/ArcoMul/Twisting
arco Aug 15, 2015
Hooray! Second alpha release of Twisting https://github.com/ArcoMul/Twisting/releases/tag/v0.2-alpha (Windows binaries only)
arco Jul 24, 2015
@erkan_yilmaz I honestly have no idea, for me it works perfect on an avarage laptop ;-
arco Jul 24, 2015
@erkan_yilmaz Because I care a lot about visuals, UX and easy to set up 😄
arco Jul 24, 2015
Switched to Elementary OS the past days and finally managed to run Twister / Twisting. Let's see how long I can stick with Linux this time..
arco Jul 16, 2015
@vegos @black_puppydog @leth Yes I still have to add one. I've to admit that I am kinda clueless on that field. MIT should work right?
arco Jul 15, 2015
@leth @vegos @black_puppydog Twisting is native in the way that it is a desktop app. Which I prefer too, when you have to start a deamon
arco Jul 13, 2015
@chinanet @black_puppydog @thedod The source is there tho, and I'll write down how to run the interface in combination with ur own deamon ;)
arco Jul 13, 2015
@chinanet @black_puppydog @thedod I'll release a precompiled one soon. Just a binary though, no idea how to do signing and what not (yet)
arco Jul 12, 2015
@thedod It was another issue, solved it together with @black_puppydog :-)
arco Jul 12, 2015
@black_puppydog Alright good to know, I didn't look into custom twitserd connections / how to use a VPS yet
arco Jul 12, 2015
@black_puppydog Don't understand why jQuery wasn't working directly. But awesome! Super curious what you think of it! 
arco Jul 12, 2015
@black_puppydog And could you give me a log of everything when you run 'npm install' on a fresh clone? 😇
arco Jul 12, 2015
@black_puppydog You might wanna try opening by double clicking, but I guess that's the same. Do you have a 'node_modules' folder in 'app'?
arco Jul 12, 2015
@black_puppydog If one of the other steps is not clear, let me know. I will add more detail then! :-)
arco Jul 12, 2015
@black_puppydog I did a recheck, and everything went fine. Could you try again? Make sure to run 'npm install' in the root folder.
arco Jul 10, 2015
@black_puppydog Ah sorry. I think 'npm install' didnt complete then. I will test the whole setup myself another time, and let you know
arco Jul 10, 2015
@black_puppydog Otherwise I will soon release binaries :-)
arco Jul 10, 2015
Thanks for trying! Did you follow these steps: #development-setup>https://github.com/ArcoMul/Twisting#development-setup Sadly it is a bit complicated
arco Jul 09, 2015
Hell yea, the redesign of Twisting is as feature complete as the previous alpha version 😄 Almost ready for a second alpha release #wip
arco Jul 07, 2015
@chinanet Does that work in China? According to www.blockedinchina.net it should work 😉
arco Jul 07, 2015
@chinanet Do you mean the build (twisterd.exe)? I put it on Mega: https://mega.nz/#!WRp2HKjI!sbK8HI36XV-jLYsSJUVoQiytxdhlIy9WUJdp4oEQJG4
arco Jul 07, 2015
MinGW version of Twister seems to be way faster! Also got eight connection immediately instead of one, great :-)
arco Jul 07, 2015
My holidays started! Let's see if I manage to build the MinGW version of Twister on Windows today 😄
arco Jul 01, 2015
@talex Haha, well I am afraid I will take that as a compliment 😜 I actually hope to lure some people in because of this
arco Jun 29, 2015
@vegos I know what you mean. It's the choice of a visual appealing design over losing some information though.
arco Jun 28, 2015
What do you guys think of my Twisting visual and UX redesign? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1146818/Twister/redesign.gif (big gif)
arco Jun 08, 2015
@black_puppydog It has to do with the technical side of Mono (.NET runtime). I hope to post a censored version online soon.
arco Jun 08, 2015
@dergatt @robertwgehl @black_puppydog Thanks! :)

@vegos @avatarx Maybe yes, I have to say that Twister is still pretty snappy though. Only initial downloading takes longer, DHT peers enough

Implemented retwisting of posts and replying to posts tonight. Only one item left on my todo-list before an alpha release 😃 #soon

@vegos @avatarx Still suspecting it to be a Windows problem on my side. Installed Linux tonight, so soon I can fact check 😄
