Warning: new discussion possible!

Well this was hard! 1.06 ready on zip space but because I have 0.0 
trust in Macs zippabilities I also placed all files in http://arnoldvanhofwegen.com/stuff/mirror/

The files are Windows Latin 1 format for all special characters to 
display ok, except in REBOL itself where they are a mess ):

Did I tell you it works on my Mac now? Don't know what happens on 
other platforms. This time I tested while constantly restarting REBOL/VIEW.

Hi all,
I am proud to announce: RebRep | print with your RepRap
http://rebrep.blogfree.net
It is a Windows-only program.

Please let me know what you think of it (even if you don't YET have 
a RepRap ;) )

My REBOL book has started forward sale today here http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=22807051
. The first 1'000 readers will get the book before the end of July.

Hello everybody: I'm working on rebol2.blogspot.com (take a look!). 
If you want to write an article on Rebol, send me an in email with 
the article and I'll publish it. If you want to see a topic discussed, 
send me an email with a request, and I'll try to write about it. 
My email is [maxint-:-tiscali-:-it]

Look also at this page: http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/wr/if 
 your site is about Rebol and isn't the list on the left, please 
send me your link; if you know some site about Rebol and it isn't 
in the list, please send me a link.

A new version of the mirror game is available as a zipped file at 
http://www.arnoldvanhofwegen.com/stuff/mirror.zip

This time it is version 1.07. I put a beam in. Click on a label and 
a beam will show up,right click the label or just click the box for 
a new mirror and it disappears again. (It is also becoming a showcase 
for different REBOL techniques applied, though maybe not the best 
(: ) 
Have fun with this version!

Rebol source is going to be released.

*Rebol source code is to be released very soon. However there will 
be conditions precedent to the release.

After one week of the foreward sale, 300 customers have paid for 
my REBOL book. It's not so bad. I think 1'000 is an achieveable target 
for this month. Let's consider 1'000 REBOLers coming to our camp. 
:-)

So what's this all about?!?!?  From whom does the notice about open 
source come?

From Carl.

sigh... it took this long to get to this point

Marco: how do you render 3d scene in rebol?

InvoiceFox for US was finally serriously released 1month ago and 
a 2 weeks back added to Chrome Web Store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jjolcoebhfocblfngacoplfgfehdloml

I am also working on some internal "conversion focused analytics 
 for small to medium websites where every sale/signup/... matters" 
project and am seeking alpha users http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBodqMgPhVk
(AND sorry Marco for posting here instead of Ann-Reply, I will repost!)

I just released Rebol IDE v.5: http://rebol2.blogspot.it/2012/07/ide.html
 send your comments and suggestions

There are a lot of "undocumented" functions, if you kow their purpose, 
please send me an email

I just upladed a new version, I removed a widget accidentally!

I released my first game for the Android platform.


Stunt Ace is a retro type game. REBOL was used in the development 
process to make a prototype and for the level editor.

Stunt Ace can be found on Google play.
Full version:

Free trial:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nicom.stuntacefree

Stunt Ace was made using:
- Deluxe Paint on an Amiga
- GIMP
- Waldorf Pulse analogue synthesizer
- TimewARP 2600 analogue soft synth
- Roland A-90 keyboard
- A Mac
- A PC
- REBOL
- In-house software

Have fun!

www.tree-mapper.com 	First releas of the web-page for our new product. 
Done with R3. We will add more and more over time.

I have put my example script for CGI forms with validation and refilling 
previously filled fields online on the rebol.org site. http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=cgi-form-val-example.r
Maybe somebody with more (CGI security) expertise can look at it 
and comment on safety issues please.

www.tree-mapper.com	Email notification option added. More screenshots. 
Demo version can be downloaded.

I just placed a first draft of a script to help with compiling Red 
scripts on REBOL.org http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=redcompiler.r
No guaranties ;)

Printer driver for REBOL released on Github: https://github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver

See %tests/ folder for a full example.

Fixes and additions are welcome!

It is far from perfect yet, the code needs a lot of cleaning up but 
I would not wait much longer for you all to have a look at my REBOL 
solution to make a small chessboard application that gives all the 
possible legal moves so you can play a game according to the rules 
of chess. You need the 2 files http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=cbh.r
and http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=chessmoves.rto make 
it work. 

Hope you like it and the REBOL solutions I chose to accomplish this.

Oh by the way it is NOT a chess computerprogram! It does not compute 
any best move of any kind! It just is possible to move the pieces 
playing a game according to the rules of the game.

Oh and you need the chessimages.r file I just uploaded too.

http://www.rebol.com/article/0510.htmlfrom Carl    "Time to 
Talk about REBOL's Future'

As you might know, I wrote a R3 book in Chinese, trying to attract 
more people to the REBOL camp. It sells very well so far. But I would 
like to attract more than Just Chinese. So I decide to translate 
it into English and make the English Version free. It's a slide with 
320 Pages. This slide is colorful, beautiful, and easy to understand. 
I would like you guys to help me correct my English before I put 
it to the public. I would also like this gesture to make Carl feel 
the support and love from the community.

Today I fixed one issue with the chessboard with respect to the bookkeeping 
of the kings positions. This was the last remaining piece of this 
part of the puzzle. I am curious for remarks.

Jerry, I would like to help with the English editing. Please let 
me know the next step.

...sorry, should have posted this in ann-reply.

Hello, I'm writing a new version of Rebolide, with color syntax higlithing, 
using another rebol script (area-tc) with perfect syntax higlithing. 
I put the new rebolide on github: https://gist.github.com/3635812
, since github works great with Rebol.

However I'm not good as you and I can't understand how make this 
new rebolide similar to the old one, see  the old one on: http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=rebolide.r

My main concern at the moment is to create button to insert code 
in the main area, cut and copy works, but the functions button like 
the old one no.
May you help me?

OK, that link was just a gist,  the repository is https://github.com/angerangel/rebolide

Let's make it official: http://static.red-lang.org/birth.png:-)

There is a note from Carl on his blog!

Carl, 9-Sep-2012 15:46:54: "I need to apologize all of you for the 
lack of response to your comments. This was due to a funny incident 
that happened on my ranch.


Last week, a few heffalumps burst into my basement and turned over 
the last barrel of 1999 Châtemateloo. Unfortunately, the precious 
liquid flooded telecommunication cables and I lost network connection.

You know me, this is not a reason to give up.


Using a microwave oven, amateur radio, and 4 lines of code in REBOL 
I was able to construct a modem and here I am.


Well, I read very carefully your comments (the first two lines of 
each comment) and I noticed that most of them contain the phrase 
"Hi Carl". I was hoping that I'll find out from them what further 
steps should be taken to save the future of REBOL, but it seems that 
as usual I have to come up with a solution myself.

So, here it is.

I decided to open source REBOL.


Choice of license is very difficult because there are many kinds 
of them. I examined the majority of them, and none meets my needs. 
They are overloaded and too complicated. The only thing I can do 
in this situation is to write my own license. I name it ... Rebolense.

Creating a license is not an easy task, but is necessary.

I'll be working on it soon, so stay tuned. "

There's a growing consenus, Max, that that blog post may be better 
suited for the Humour group.

:))

Message from a yellow Carl

Did you find anything new on GitHub?

Probably a real blog post is the only way to know for sure.

Here's the Sherman REBOL compiler:

https://github.com/akavel/sherman

REBOL patches repository here: https://github.com/BrianHawley/rebol-patches

These are intended to implement pending improvements to R3, and eventually 
R2. Just R3 for now though.

To add to the idiocy, there's now a message from the real Carl, stating 
he agrees with the fake one

Win!
