    Computers TheHolonet Slack channel

    PM me your email address if you're interested in trying out a TheHolo.net Slack channel. It is much more versatile than AIM group chat.



    oh what a tangled web I weave

    My only concern is the capped message archives for free users. I paid for the premium Trillian benefits, so all my conversations are backed up for me to access and search. Considering we discuss plots, and so on, I have found this feature invaluable. It seems that, in order for me to have the same benefits on Slack, everyone in the team would be expected to pay $8 a month.

    No, Mister Belargic. I expect you to... die.

    I'd be down for something like this.

    Maybe Flock, instead of Slack?

    I dunno about that, tbh. Was just using it and thought: this is pretty great, maybe we should try it out.

    Well, I wouldn't go being all depressed and upset about it, Mitch, it is just a thing, not like a Thing.

    Flock looks good too. I just was already using Slack with another group so being able to easily switch from team to team to message in the same app is ideal for *me* but I understand that not everyone will feel the same way.

    edit: Flock only supports the Chrome browser so I can't use it. And no, I'm not switching.

    Understandable.

    So, I take it that it's safe to say the chat is officially moving to Slack, then?

    There's plenty I like about it, although the jury is still out for me at the moment, while I get my head around how it works. One thing I am concerned about is that, even though push notifications are switched on, the mobile app doesn't seem to want to keep me notified of new messages. So I have to keep checking in to load them up. I think a good stint of testing is required, from everyone, first, before we reach a conclusion like that.

    I can't use it in a browser, whereas the Slack I use for another group I can. I don't want to run yet another program on my desktop at all times, so my testing is done, unless I'm doing something horribly wrong which I can't understand. For the time being, if anyone needs me I'll be on AIM.

    You should be able to run just one instance of Slack, and switch between the teams you're a part of.

    It won't allow me to do so without the password to the TheHoloNet team. Apparently that's the same reason I have to run the TheHoloNet team in the Slack app, vs. in a browser, and why I need to re-send myself a link to my email, then use that one-time-only link each and every time I want to log into it.

    I don't actually have the password to my basketball team Slack, nor have I ever had it, yet it works in a browser just fine and I access it via a standard web address without issue. Maybe something's wrong on my end, or maybe my basketball team one is set up differently behind the scenes, I dunno.

    Well all you have to do is ask. I didn't know if anyone else needed that password or not.

    edit: I'm a numbhead, there is no team password. You choose your own passwords, so the one I gave you is actually my password. Which I am now changing. >_>

    Interesting. I wasn't sure about the invite you sent me, heh, and kept forgetting to ask about it. For me it won't replace Pidgin, but I'm totally willing to give it a try and see what's up with it

    What are you using that can't run Chrome?

    I tried Chrome once and it hogged all my resources and was slow and I didn't like it.
