<p>Hi again,</p><div><br></div><div>So in the last month I’ve made a few background changes to the code for trying Self online to improve robustness. Hopefully it is more likely to work if you try it!</div><div><br></div><div>I’ve also added a new feature, which is allowing multiple users to access the running Self world.</div><div><br></div><div>This functionality was already in the standard Self image (though buried in the MacOS version), I’ve just made it more visible and integrated it with the <a href="http://OurSelf.io" target="_blank">OurSelf.io</a> stack.</div><div><br></div><div>To try it out, start a trial Self world, and open the desktop for it in your browser.</div><div><br></div><div>Then do the following: </div><div><br></div><div> (users userNamed: ‘Guest’) password: ’secret’.. “ <- must be 8 chars or less “</div><div><br></div><div>Then from the main menu, choose ‘Give user access…’, choose ‘Guest’ from the users list.</div><div><br></div><div>You should get a URL, which you can put into a separate browser window.</div><div><br></div><div>There should now be two views onto your Self world. Each view can move around, and has full access to everything. </div><div><br></div><div>I’ve now been developing this through the browser window for a bit (rather than doing it locally and uploading the snapshots). It isn’t as fast as a local Self, especially in terms of latency, but it is quite usable and the ability to just stop what I’m doing, close the browser window and then restart my work just by going to a webpage on other computer is quite nice.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, I’m keeping on working on this so if any of you manage to get it working and give feedback that would be cool</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!

If you’re lucky, you will get to a page which gives you a link to a running morphic desktop and a Self console.
