I've moved to my StatusNet Cloud site: http://dee.status.net/

@unltdlnxwalt I'm wildly surmising (based on how I'd feel if I was you) that situation might be difficult: torn between fatherly pride and competitive angst ;) Best of luck with your own site.

@123test123 You're that blues man! :) Of course I remember you, Mr K. And my guess (I don't know any of the details) is that the character limit probably only recognises numbers, not a word. So if you can give "unlimited" a number, it might work :) ...And if you can answer that one, how long does eternity last? ;) Nice to see you again. I hope you like the StatusNet sites. Mine is at dee.status.net

Deirdre 123test123

@123test123 Also (sorry, I should have put these all together) this unlimited.status.net site is different from the StatusNet Cloud sites. This is a community site; the limit was set before anybody signed up for an account here.

Deirdre 123test123

@123test123 Also, I think the StatusNet software you can host yourself might be different from the account you can open as a single-user in the StatusNet Cloud.

Deirdre 123test123

@123test123 Excuse me for asking, but why do you want to set a specific limit of unlimited? Why not just use a very long limit: 10,000 characters or something? Isn't that enough for anything you might want to import?

Adding the blog post's link to the conversation thread (I hope): http://status.net/2010/02/15/identi-ca-character-limit-results @douglasawh

I successfully subbed to a WordPress.com blog using http://[example].wordpress.com/feed/atom (thanks to the idea from @lnxwalt300 http://300.status.net/notice/465 ). Then I tried to sub to the RSS version (by leaving the "/atom" off the URL) and got an error: "Sorry, we could not reach that address. Please make sure that the OStatus address is like nickname@example.com or http://example.net/nickname".

@lnxwalt300 I saw the blog post differently. The "Until then, we've set up StatusNet Cloud community sites..." I took to be saying "Here's something to do now instead of waiting around," not "Until then... which is when they'll stop."

#280.vs.unlimited - a Buzz update's whole text is actually *is* shown here at unlimited; at 280 it gets truncated and has an extension link. I can't link to the notices in my timelines; their timestamp links go to the Buzz page instead.

Deirdre lnxwalt300

@lnxwalt300 Thanks! What makes you think these char-limit instances are temporary? Did someone say that? (Hardly anyone uses them now. I get the public timeline feeds of 280 to unlimited. The only significant activity has been one freak attack by spam.)

My notice 10 hours ago didn't go to either of the accounts it addressed. Trying again: @120new280@280.status.net and @120new@identi.ca

Deirdre Test300 , lnxwalt300

@lnxwalt300@300.status.net I'm assuming it's okay to test remote groups using !test300 but if not, please do say, thanks.

It would help if I could get my own address right... @120new280@280.status.net And now I may as well add @120new@identi.ca to see what happens there, too. Is this over 280 characters yet? I have no idea. Better throw in another sentence in case... And I counted this by copy/pasting to the 280 text box first, so it should be well and truly over 280 by now.

Deirdre

Now comparing 280 and unlimited, mostly to see whether subscriptions will import full text... Guess I may as well try this while I'm typing: an over-280 character notice to @120new@280.status.net And I just realised there's no character counter here. "Unlimited" doesn't *actually* mean unlimited, does it??
