[Digression: the server fund drive appears to have stalled. Perhaps the time has come to call on Glindar?]

Just broke at the moment, tell Gilndar to wait a bit.

Corwin:

Yes, I agree, intelligence is different from knowledge. But it is perhaps a kind of ability to obtain knowledge.

But more generally, perhaps, a kind of ability to solve (cognitive) problems. Including the problem of, "How can I get some knowledge out of this situation?"

Irina! I got a "upload successful" message on Gabibot! Now I don't remember what changes I made 2 months ago, but I am not afraid to play with it any more.

Wow!

How big is Gabibot? I'm guessing 180kb or thereabouts? (off-the-cuff guesstimate)

Well, that's an improvement - you might have got lucky with an unslack moment in the Mac mini's hectic schedule, but that's got to be the biggest upload that's worked for at least a couple of months.
I reckon (even with the horribly overloaded server, maxed out RAM, and a hard disk that's about to burst,) the Forge is on the way back up

But then I'm an optimist...

Gabibot is over 350 kb (mostly long stories no one gets to see). The upload seems to have eliminated the AI script I had in her xnones though (even though they seem to have initially loaded). That's disappointing because that was one of the main things I had been wanting to play with. I guess I'll have to wait a bit more.

Still, it's exciting that some progress has been made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bev:

How did you know it had uploaded? Did you get a message, "import complete" or anything like that? I just tried with my tiny little bot, "volleyball", and it exported fine but when I click the button for import, nothing appears to happen. Did you see anything that told you the import was in progress, before it was done?

Yes. First, do not use expert import. That always goes white for me. Watch the import on and off. It may be "voodoo" thinking, but every so often I hit the tab where it is uploading and scroll down to check the progress (if only to show activity and shout "I'm here!"). After that, I right click and import in a new tab. then every so often I watch the nothing on the import page. I got a few white pages there too, but I repeated the last step a few times and finally I got a "Import complete" or some such. Also, it says Gabi has heat now. It's doing something.

350kb - that's excellent!
I'm going to try Kid Boron again (about 650kb,) and see if we can push the envelope a bit

How does it show progress? The usual blue rectangle?

You can see the page loading progress on the bottom next to where it says, "Waiting for ..." but I actually watch the language center loading and scroll to see the bottom to see how far it has gotten. On the final step, you can just see the "loading' message until it goes white or tells you it worked.
