Hey, I found a really neat GUI interface in the Picasa photo organizer 
program from Google. (http://www.google.com/downloads/) If you download 
it or already have it, just click the "Timeline" button near the 
top of the screen. I think it would be really neat if someone could 
make a REBOL clone of that screen.

It's pretty neat - found pictures I didn't know I had.

Time to delete before the wife sees them!

bad Graham ! :)

Subject: [REBOL] Intro to Rebol article for DevX



Hi, i've been asked to write an intro to rebol article for devX, 
a task for

which there are any number of people better suited and for which 
i wouldn't have

the time anyway. So if anyone is interested in writing this i can 
direct the

devx editors to you as i still follow this list well enough to know 
who knows,
even if i hardly ever use the language anymore.

just reading Paul Graham's lastest essay : http://www.paulgraham.com/hs.html

and liking this little bit


Now I know a number of people who do great work, and it's the same 
with all of them. They have little discipline. They're all terrible 
procrastinators and find it almost impossible to make themselves 
do anything they're not interested in. One still hasn't sent out 
his half of the thank-you notes from his wedding, four years ago. 
Another has 26,000 emails in her inbox.

From the article,

The great mathematician G. H. Hardy said he didn't like math in high 
school either. He only took it up because he was better at it than 
the other students.
--

Isn't Carl the same? He took up computing for the same reasons.

I quoted the part above as I too have not managed to get my thank-you 
notes out ... but by a somewhat greater period of time :(

don't sweat the small stuffs
. :)

everytime my inbox slows down on account of the number of email inside, 
I just create a new inbox :)

just had my yonger son read that essay this weekend

Hey, is here anyone from Netherlands? :-) I love two bands from there 
- The Gathering (Anneke van Giersbergen) and Within Temptation (Sharon 
den Adel) and there is possibility I would visit this year's only 
The Gathering performance for DVD purposes seated show in Amsterodam 
... man, am I really so crazy that musim means so much for me? :-)

I actually live in Amsterdam!

ha! :-)

I will talk to one or two friends and we have to fast enough decide, 
if we go or not ....

how much are hottels in average there?

Depends on your hotel, but I don't know so I can't tell. Will ask 
my wife, she was born here.

I think a youth hostel is cheapest. But you can check on the net 
easily, I'd say. My place (with three little kids) is too crowded, 
otherwise you could stay here.

You're supposed to send out Thank You notes? Would it be bad to do 
it after 16 years? Hmmm, I bet my wife did it right away.

I know my wife didn't do it .. and mine is more than 16 years ...

I guess I could say that they were delayed by ecartis ?

In total, the core of our team has invested something like 80 man 
years on this experiment, 18 of which are mine. I think right now 
the key lesson is this -- if you're looking for a job with instant 
and guaranteed success, this isn't it.

to naught because someone forgot to turn it on

I think, we have too many groups in REBOL3. I start to have problems 
figuring out, where I should post. Can we clean up?

I'm sorry, but that last post should be in the Chat group.

LOL

The groups seem to be well classified if you use the world group 
dividers, better than previous.

how can we self remove ourself from a private group? it always says 
"you must be included in the group" ???

several ways to do this ...

I can only remember one though ..

get someone else to remove you.  or log on as guest and do the deed.

so an evil person would remove guest from all private groups  ;-)

you could add guest back in again.

right, since your in the group, in the first place... but that leaves 
guest on the list after and is not very nice for truely private groups... 
such a thing can go unnoticed by the group's "manager"

I wish there where moderator features in altme... so we could generate 
a moderated group and then you are master of that specific group... 
including removing posts.

log on twice with altme and take each other out

and adding other moderators...

graham... that is very wise... your patients must not complain often. 
 You have a very good sense of observation.

last man standing is it.

dead guest chatting...

Right-click on your own name and you can deselect the private groups 
you are in...

ahhhh that's it :-)

yes, all good points Max.

We are looking to fix those.

:-|    :-)     :-D

that's a 3 frame animation  btw .... ;-)
