I have done it! I think I have my program working. It is just set up on my own equipment right now. But I need help testing it to work out the bugs. Can you help me?

Comments

That is basically the sum of it.

Once we work out the bugs, I can take this further. I actually think this will work!

It will be easiest if we meet up to start this.

[traceofeffort]

It'll be a big weight off me not to have to watch what I say. I tend to talk a lot without thinking sometimes, so... [Only sometimes? Don't lie to yourself, Lisa.]

Your place again? Or did you have somewhere else in mind? Either way's fine with me.

Action?

[ashenscipher]

Privacy will be wonderful.

My place is fine.

-> action;

[traceofeffort]

I'll swing by, then. This is important.

[It's not long before there's once again a knock at Bitterblue's door, though Lisa looks quite a bit more serious this time. Her messenger bag is slung across her body in lieu of her guitar bag.]

Hey. I'm ready to work if you are.

Re: -> action;

[Bitterblue opens the door quickly. She is excited to get this working.

Though her kitchen table is small, it has two laptops set up on it, she is prepared.]

Okay, so I've opened the program on this one you can use. You just have to create a fake account, it won't ask you for an email or anything like that.

Then we can just start using it and see what problems crop up.

Did you want anything to drink? I have water, soda, juice.

[traceofeffort]

[She checks for a second seeing two laptops; slightly sheepish, she sets her messenger bag down next to the table, recognizing she won't need hers.]

Gotcha. I have to admit, it's gonna feel a little weird to more or less use the network when we're right next to each other, but I guess that's the easiest way to test it. Ah, and water's good, I think I'm still trying to diet after the soirée. Thanks.

[She's answering the questions absently as they come, but at the moment she's just looking at the signup page and working through that.]

[ashenscipher]

It will be a bit weird. But this is about finding the problems so we will still be talking, you know, verbally throughout the process.

[She brings back two glasses of water and sets one down by Lisa.]

Are you set up?

[The screen after the set up screen should look eerily familiar - just like the network.]

[traceofeffort]

Right, right. I think I get it. And yeah, I've got this re- oh, thanks. Ready to go.

[It sure is the network. No posts here since it's a test server, but boy, she feels like she's right at home here. Which is. Kinda the point, she supposes, but still.]

Should I just, uh, post something, then?

[ashenscipher]

Yes. Start with a basic post. And I'll make one too, so you can see from your computer how it looks.

[Bitterblue typed up a quick message: It is a wonderful day for shaved ice.

Then she posted it.]

Let me know if you can see it.

[traceofeffort]

[The text post seems to pop up fine; of course, that's the easy part. After a second, she posts a message herself: Let's see if this works. Testing...]

Mm, I think we might be on to something? Yours is here. Man, this is kinda exciting!
