oooooh

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Yes JD - you. Doesn't have to be in the public email, the private one is fine.

How long (in your estimation) will beta testing last?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Depends on the number of bugs - but we're hoping around 2 weeks for beta

Need any testing for AOL?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Yes, we might need to test the AOL user blocking script.

I'm interested... but to be honest i'm moving to vancouver in three weeks- i'm not going to be on VS that much for the next bit.

The SPAM from African countries still manages to be delivered to my AOL SPAM folder.

Ok, I even put up a PUBLIC email. I guess I'm gonna try out the "full" sift experience with nagging emails about stuff and stuff. (Here I've been enjoying VS in the old fashioned way of html only. Now I can enhance my addiction with emails. What they need in 3.0 is a siftbot AIM bot that IM's me everytime I get an upvote on my video.)

Where is the sift-AIM-bot?

oh oh ohhhhhhh! lemmie beta test! i'm a great beta tester!

count me in, I'd like to get a head start on getting sick of all the new bells and whistles before classes start up again... after that, I have to behave myself and start spending time being a serious student again.

I would like a sneak-peek also!

I'm in!

Wow, 3.0 already. Videosift is growing up!

If it's got a bug or can be broken, I'm your guy.

what raven said, I have to stop sift-time-wasting too, the world is a dynamic place, diversion and what-not...did I say waste??? I meant WASTED!

We'll usher it in as you usher us out - count me in for a test spin. And then . . .

again . . .

beard on.

Dag, the title of your post, that's not from a Herbalizer song is it? As in "Something Wicked"?

Deano, "Something wicked this way comes" is a phrase from a line in MacBeth, Act IV, Scene I, spoken by the second witch leading to the entrance of MacBeth:

"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks!"

Oh, and I'm looking forward to VS 3.0. I've heard that this is going to be the greatest thing since Duke Nukem Forever!

Cheers rembar. I really don't care for old Bill but he has provided some super quotes over the years I will concede.

re DNF - nice parting shot there!

Great news!!!! 3.0 is soo close I can almost touch it!

What about SiftCast?? Hmmmm??

So this is in addition to the Cabal?

Count me in, please.

I want a Cabal invite.

i want a lantern just cuz i like the word 'lantern'. as in, 'i've got a real nice lantern..................... ladies?'

I can break anything. So Ive been told. I am the Beta Tornado.

Sounds good, I'm in!

i want to try it too...

Waiting...

Will ther beta rely on the new submission? Basically do we see the same videos and have the same datas between v2.5 and v3.0? I would like to peak at the v3.0 beta, but I need to be able to go back to v2.5 if problems or whatever.

ant,
clearly the both websites will be active at the same time, and if not pulling from the actual VS database, it will pull from a test database for the beta. Most likely there will be a different webpage like beta.videosift.com or videosift.com/testing/

So there is no "go back to". Worst case is you might have to create a new username at the beta site, but at some point they will migrate the whole database over to 3.0

And probably safe to assume any comments or videos added to the beta site may not be saved, but lucky would have to comment if he is using a live database, a small blank testing one, or a snapshot of the old vs dB.

The beta test will take a snap-shot of the current DB and put it in the new environment/ new server - then we will be free to play around. After we are ready to go live, any changes made in the beta environment will be wiped, and the current live VS DB will be imported again.

Meh, I will pass. Thanks.

You'll get an invite anyway Ant - whether you choose to act on it, is up to you.
