next

 We sang and we sang - 10 meets. Enough for me to conclude I do NOT have the gift of leading song. At best I can roar along with the mob around the campfire.

However, nothing ventured = nothing gained.

I have found much to be enjoyed in participating with the singers of Bellingen. Hayley is attracting enough participants to make nice, albeit simple, harmonies.

I would like to be able to take a leaf....

The idea for a grant is viable.... but really?

Time will tell.

Savvy singers at camp creative is next.

 so singing at scotts head eh? voices @ scotts_head

That'll be a hoot!

And along the road I've met google buckets - big cloud

That was in getting people @ wayway going with wowonder.

and mcVic

Getting to like google more and more. The console actually offers a shell! Pretty intense.

mymob.au

Here's a thought: at mymob.au (registered, no worries) show a full list of mobs, each mobname as a link to

mymob.au/mobname

Then configure all those directories (which I'll now call folders) on mymob.au.

Aha - on to something here.

But:

BEFORE propogating all those folders, populate with defaults:

index.php,

image.jpg

protected admin folder with some tools (???)

other stuff....(???)

Once it's propogated 600 times it becomes a BIG JOB to manage each mob's site which should ultimately be delegated to the 600 mob's IT bods. So the capacity to delegate has to be built in too.

Might need a grant to do this! Who wants to pay? Who gets paid?

Wowzers.

But, but but: above works for web mymob.au/mobname but it would take subdomain mobname.mymob.au to provide email for person@mobname.mymob.au as well

And that would be worthwhile for every person in the mob!

I guess it could be done later with a redirect in every /mobname/ folder to /webroot/mobname/

So if there is a grant to pay someone to do this then why not do the subdomains first. Then propogate a bundle of goodies to each /mobname

There are cpanel tools for this kind of thing. So obviously there are people around who have the smarts to make that happen.

I've just now come across google buckets! So there's no storage problem! Each mob gets a bucket. Or a folder in a bucket.

well into 2023 I find community to be significant. And singing. So, let's sing 

but also keep on trying to show how this big old net could work at the local level

Every community (mob) ought to have access to a net tool for communicating. 

I know, Facebook etc. But who wants to be at the whim of those megaloze. 

(Megalomaniacs - megalo's but I hate that use of apostophe - give z a go I say. z goze (goes).)

I asked the squatter if I can get mob.au - no response

I've also asked google about mob.net - that would be my preference. $20 a year! Not available.

Look here - mymob.au - just an empty lot so far.....

To save on hosting all those domains when only a redirect is needed for development, I've got it forwarding to gumbaynggirr.au which in turn forwards to a form at  gumbaynggirr.wayway.au which will find me.

There are about 600 mobs around. It's possible to have eg

gumbaynggirr.mymob.au for each and every one.

(I have mymob.au/* pointed to gumbaynggirr.au/ for now)
