- Rovy, looks like the URL "planetarium.net" has stopped working, but I can still get in via "planetarium.ning.com" -- what happen?
@Jeff: Does the site have space to handle large files?
You can always upload to vimeo.com, then embed the video on planetarium.net. I like vimeo because it is pretty high quality without intrusive ads (as of this writing).

We have interest in putting together a group that wants to share animations. Does the site have space to handle large files?

I am trying to set up a group for Chronos users, but every time I try to set it up, I get an error message that says that the web address I am trying to set up cannot contain spaces or numbers. But I DON'T have any spaces or numbers in it.

Ken Miller said… - Hi Rovy,
Thanks for letting me in. Will be interesting to see where this goes.
One bit of input: when I logged in, I had to choose between astronomy educator, retired, work in a planetarium, etc. There was no "vendor" option, so I signed in as an astronomy educator, which I still think of myself as being. But it might be useful, in the spirit of "full disclosure" to let us vendor folk identify ourselves for others who might read our input and think that we were someone other than vendors to the industry. It's not my intention to ever hide that. I'm proud of the work I do, and I hope other vendors will identify themselves as well.
Thanks,
Ken

- About Me:
- I am the Executive Director of the Academic Advanced Distributed Learning Co-Lab in Madison, WI. I spent 8 years as a multimedia programmer at the Kelly Planetarium at Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC (unfortunately one of those IMAX combo planetariums that IMAX eventually ate).
I started moderating DOME-L while working at the planetarium and also started Planetarium.Net in the early days of the Web. I love this community and I am happy to be in a role where I can still provide a measure of support!
I am also an adjunct faculty member at Indiana University-Bloomington where I teach Instructional Technology online.

From Wired Magazine - as Mars Phoenix reaches the end...a contest!
"To mark this exciting, crowd-pleasing, Tweeting trip to the Martian north pole, we thought it'd be fun to mark the occasion with a Mars Phoenix Twitter-style epitaph contest. That means that these particular virtual headstones must be under 140 characters. Beyond that, it's up to you how you want to memorialize the mission."
See how to enter the contest by … Continue
