Posted at 19:51h, 18 JanuaryHey Fil! Great that our community is groing!
I know, you probably get a lot of suggestions, but i’ve got another one:
Could you make a video about what you do when you play solos and improvise?

Posted at 14:30h, 17 JanuaryHa, ha…just a couple of days away from computer and Bam! you guys talking ’bout a meeting 🙂 It would be nice but I don’t know how many of us could participate due to our location and spare time. Damn, you seem so close here on SD.net. Anyway great idea!
Hey Fil, this chair will be also available on sd.net store? “SD.net, Classic Rock website offer you a Classic Solid Furniture” 🙂

Posted at 16:19h, 16 JanuaryHello Guys, some News about the file space:
I changed from the little document manager software to a filemanager software.
Advantages:
User interface even more easy to use
Detailed File upload progress information
Correct handling of large files
Disadvantages:
No direct links to the files
No file descriptions possible
Please test it and give me a feedback.

Posted at 22:28h, 16 JanuaryJust tried it, dose not seem to load form me 🙁 im running on IE 8 just loads with a Blue box in the center of the page, i will try it with mozilla fire fox browser and let you know 🙂
banane
Posted at 22:35h, 16 JanuaryOk, not so good. I tested it only with Firefox and Safari on Mac. I’ll do some more tests with IE.
Thanks for trying it out anyway. And dont hesitate to spam it with uploaded files, they will get deleted if this goes life.
Ant
Posted at 22:35h, 16 Januaryyep just tried it on mozilla and works fine, anyone else having trouble?
ar2619Rob
Posted at 22:42h, 16 JanuaryI got the same as you on IE8, but I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be getting anyway, lol.
banane
Posted at 22:47h, 16 JanuaryHm, ok, I’ll check that IE8 problem. Installing IE8 now 🙂
banane
Posted at 23:12h, 16 JanuaryOk, that was a quick one. IE8 problem solved.
Ant
Posted at 23:48h, 16 Januaryyeah working now just tried again 🙂 i got nothing to upload bar one thing……. hehe
Ant
Posted at 23:55h, 16 Januaryuploading is ok i had to install java for it to work 😛 uploaded a image file to the root directory, very good Banane!
banane
Posted at 00:42h, 17 JanuaryVery fine, Thank you for testing, Ant! 🙂
Ant
Posted at 12:50h, 17 Januaryno probs 🙂

Posted at 05:16h, 18 JanuaryFranz, worked for me (Chrome 7.0, Linux).
I think the interface is easier to the previous one you had setup.
I think if it’s just for GR4 presets, the previous document manager might be a better choice because of the direct links and descriptions; but if the goal is to support sharing of more files, especially media, this one is a better fit.
I think in the instructions on how to use this, it’ll need to explain that providing a descriptive file name will be important.
Thanks for setting these up!
banane
Posted at 10:05h, 18 JanuaryThanks for your feedback, Renato. Ah, very fine that it works too with Chrome.
Yes, that’s the conflict here. A mix of both would be perfect. For sharing some small files the document manager would be the better solution, on the other side, if someone needs bigger space for transfering video files for collaborations and such things the document manager doesnt work. It cant handle bigger files (100M) correctly neither for upload or download.
I’ll contact the programmer for a solution of the upload problem, let’s see if he’s able to fix it. If not, I think it’s better to use the 2nd software, the file manager. What do you think?
Ha, you are using Linux too? I work mainly on Linux. Do you also work in IT business?
rjofig
Posted at 16:21h, 18 JanuaryI agree with you, the second software is a good approach, and we can always revisit later if it doesn’t work out.
Well, I’m at a university; I’ve been using Linux since the mid 90s or so (now mostly research and development in distributed systems). It has evolved a lot since then 🙂
banane
Posted at 20:05h, 18 JanuaryAlright, I’ll contact the programmer. Maybe we’ll get a fast fix.
Ah, ok, thats a bit longer than me, I started around 2000 with Linux. Yes, it has evolved a lot, I remember myself taking hours for installing a graphics driver back then so I can use a GUI at all 🙂

Posted at 12:54h, 16 JanuaryJust a thought, don’t everyone get carried away, now that there are so many of us the idea of an annual or every other year get together has come to mind. Maybe a weekend in a european city somewhere, or perhaps use a festival to meet up. I know everyone would want to come but think seriously about it and whether you could afford to travel, take the time out etc and perhaps we’ll get something together. A few of us on YT have been doing this at Hyde Park in London (arranged by Tim Kentishbloke) and it’s been a good day out.
There are quite a few here who regularly converse with each other and I think it would be nice to put a face to a name. 🙂
Ant
Posted at 16:06h, 16 Januaryi would love this! would be great we could all do a jam some where and rock all night long!!!!!!!!!!
LET THERE BE ROCK!
rjofig
Posted at 16:06h, 16 JanuaryThat’s a neat idea, Rob. Somewhere in Europe seems the best, I have a hunch that’s where the majority of the members are. For me it’d be unlikely to be able to go unless it happens to coincide with work travel, but it’d be nice to hear stories and see pictures of the get together. Cheers
ar2619Rob
Posted at 17:09h, 16 JanuaryThanks Rena, I just thought I’d see how much interest there is then maybe we’d all have a serious debate about it perhaps for this summer or next. Make a list of where people are from e.t.c. I think europe because I’m told the U.S.A is difficult to enter since 9/11 (probably rightly so). I wasn’t thinking about anything big where we all take our gear and try and break the simultaneous Back In Black jam world record (though already I’m thinking,lol) but perhaps just a social get together. I for one would have to include my better half or she’d put my gear on the street.
rjofig
Posted at 17:29h, 16 JanuaryYeah, I thought you meant a social more than a jam – the logistics of a jam would be a challenge 🙂 US would be harder, definitely 🙂
SoloDallas
Posted at 18:45h, 16 JanuaryIt’s an understatement to say that I’d be IN wherever it would be. Booked!
ar2619Rob
Posted at 18:53h, 16 JanuaryWe’re not having it in Rome Filippo, that’s to easy for you!
banane
Posted at 18:58h, 16 JanuaryLol 🙂
What about Vienna? 😀
ar2619Rob
Posted at 19:02h, 16 JanuaryI thought you might say that Franz!
Why not, Rome was a joke really, it’s somewhere everyone should go at least once, but any of the world’s beautiful cities wil make it easier for me to get a willing travelling companion (if you know what I mean)!
banane
Posted at 19:09h, 16 JanuaryYes, I know what you mean 🙂 Rome would be fine too, because I haven’t visited Rome yet, and well, because of the other reason you mentioned 🙂
ar2619Rob
Posted at 19:16h, 16 JanuaryLet’s see how many are interested and able, and go from there. If there’s a bit of interest on this page I’ll make a short article for people to list their user names and where they live. It’s the perfect excuse for a weekend somehere isn’t it! 🙂
oh and if there’s enough Egyptians here my missus would like to see the Pyramids, lol
SoloDallas
Posted at 19:23h, 16 JanuaryWell, I’ll say this: although I do not have a preference for Rome (i.e., here) IF we decide to do it here in Rome, I will book a studio and bring ALL my guitars and amps in it for us. This – I guess and hope – would make it more fun for the day 😛
Ant
Posted at 19:27h, 16 JanuaryBring some t-shirts too i will buy one 😀
ar2619Rob
Posted at 19:33h, 16 JanuaryI’m not convinced the T-shirts actually exist Ant, afterall I’ve only ever seen one!, lol he,he
Ant
Posted at 19:36h, 16 JanuaryI will buy that one then !!!!! lol only joking
ar2619Rob
Posted at 19:29h, 16 JanuaryVery generous offer Fil, I should imagine everybody would love that. Let’s see how many are able to afford this kinda thing, hotel, flights etc.
banane
Posted at 19:43h, 16 JanuaryThats really generous, Fil 🙂 Yeah, let’s see how many people would come.
rjofig
Posted at 19:45h, 16 JanuaryThis raises the ante 🙂 if it happens, I hope I have a conference to go in Europe around the time 🙂
ar2619Rob
Posted at 19:58h, 16 JanuaryRenato, I’ve forgotten where you’re from?
rjofig
Posted at 22:42h, 16 JanuaryFrom Brazil, but living in the US (Florida) now.

Posted at 22:47h, 16 Januarythat’s it then Disneyland!
rjofig
Posted at 05:23h, 18 JanuaryYeah, the benefit of living not far Disney, such a popular destination, we get to see familly and friends. Oh, no, wait, that’s the drawback 🙂
Ant
Posted at 19:20h, 16 JanuaryBeen there done that 🙁 although Rome……

Posted at 01:27h, 16 JanuaryThis is amazing Fil 😀 this place is really firing on all cylinders now 😉 Even the turbo kicked in
I went to see Live Wire AC/DC tibute band tonight down the raod from where i live, I gotta say the were awsome, I have actually gone partially deaf in my right ear amazingly loud, the guy who was angus got on fake bons shoulders and went around th crowd, I reached out and shook his hand hehe. They played a mix of great ac/dc songs (there all great i know) but all my favorties were played. To top it off i won the raffel loads a merchandice hehe. They were really good, some of the riffs were played right however, like the chords were right but they strumming patterns were not and some solos werent entirley acurate but non the less very good. They used JCM 800s though which isnt true to AC/DC sound as we all know but still sounded good, would have been better on a 1959 of course, with the JCM 800 it sounded a little to much like heavey rock, rather than AC/DC’s signiture rock n roll tone, but if anyone gets the chance to see them I think they only tour europe, do go see them, no one will ever be the real AC/DC but they are very good 😀
Jake
ar2619Rob
Posted at 12:45h, 16 JanuaryI’ve seen them too Jake a couple of times and will see them every time they come around. They are very good indeed with both Bon and Brian singers and real cannons too! There are several videos on YT but to be honest the singers don’t sound like they do for real so I won’t add any links. I thought the first time I went that they would be rubbish but I was really surprised, if anyone gets a chance check ’em out, they go all over europe. Incidently when I’ve seen them Lorne who plays Angus was using a JCM 900?

Posted at 01:03h, 16 JanuaryCongratulations Fil! I remember watching your early videos on youtube and they’ve gotten even better since. Your guitaring has always been a big influence on me. Keep up the good work!

Posted at 20:10h, 15 JanuaryFil,I’d like to say how proud I am of you man,
I remember way back when you were planning a DVD release,before you decided to start a site or anything, never In my wildest dreams thought you’d get this far and have done such a great job.
I really enjoy this place,and what you’ve made here.That first Back In Black “Playing It Right” video tutorial was were it started for me and you’ve never stopped.
-Cheers/Best Wishes
Won’t be long before we’ll be at 5,000 members.
See ya there friend 🙂

Posted at 19:17h, 15 JanuaryIn a world where it seems like good old rock n’ roll is dying, this website proves that there are still many rock n’ rollers out there. This website is like the meeting place for all of us.

Posted at 11:23h, 15 JanuaryCongratulations and all the best for all members!
I’ ve got little idea. We could comment AC/DC ( and not only!) videos on youtube, where we could invite people to sd.net. What do you think, in my opinion it’s not problem!
SoloDallas
Posted at 11:26h, 15 JanuarySounds like a good idea. But do not spam them 🙂 This would invalidate our cause of “good, responsible, non aggressive and rocking solodallas.net members” 🙂
Devil'Fingers"
Posted at 11:31h, 15 JanuaryHehe,
I think I can do that, but not too much, I would maybe 3,4 comments on most viewed videos .
Sth like
“You learn to sing , you learn to play, why don’t you register on solodallas.net” , hhehe (“show business”-acca dacca)
Maybe memebers would propose some “motto to put there” 🙂
banane
Posted at 11:12h, 15 JanuaryHehe, thats really cool. I’m glad that so many people cares about Rock in these times. Up to the next 4100 🙂

Posted at 10:37h, 15 JanuaryThanks Marcus, but really, it’s not me only. This place isn’t mine (as I had hoped) anymore. It’s ours. There’s far more contributions of you guys than mine. It’s happening! 🙂
