Reply To: JCCC4 Twit-arr post-mortem
One thing that I want to do is have a twit-arr setup station near registration. Frankly, there are enough tech folks on board that if we can get a certain percentage up and running, it should go critical mass from there. That was pretty much what happened for JCCC4 anyway. The difficulties came in when someone with an iPhone only knew android users and vice-versa.
From a technical standpoint, you just set up your phone to connect to the ship’s Wifi but have it ignore the proxy redirect to the internet-at-large. At that point it’s just a website on the LAN.
I will note that the instructions for iPhone in the SeaMonkey newsletter were wrong, which didn’t help. (We didn’t know beforehand though – iPhones were easier to set up then the instructions indicated) And *some* winPhones didn’t want to work.
