That's absolutely true. I just have to trust that AWstats knows what 
it's doing. But see my earlier comment about statistics to see how 
much faith I have in that :-)

Having fun reading through the rebol.org scripts and getting an idea 
how to do things

If you are runing View, you can download them all and see if they 
work as well:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-librarian.r

I might, but I'm having fun typing in the smaller ones for now

I'm too lazy to do all that typing :-) .......I copy them to the 
clipboard like this:
    do http://www.rebol.org/library/public/lds-local.r
    res: lds/send-server 'get-script [base-convert.r]
    write clipboard:// res/data/script

As soon as I get past the "beginner" stuff I'll switch over to lazy 
mode, I'm sure. I'm insane, sure, but not *that* crazy :-)

People learn in different ways, some people learn by reading, some 
people learn by listening and some people learn through wriitng. 
Sir Winston Churchill, the British wartime Prime Minister, didn't 
do well at school because he was one of those people who learnt through 
writing. His brilliance emerged during his time as a war correspondent 
in South Africa.

So it looks as though Brian is of the same mold.

As for me, i'm the worst kind of learner - I learn by talking!!!!

Never sure if I'm lazy or crazy.....

Generally I can't be bothered to bury the bodies. Is that a clue 
to my type?

Earthquake frequency chart upto 2000 http://www.wadhome.org/quakes/

2001 was rated at 30 earthquakes over 7.0 mag

While were looking at stats, it may be of some comfort to note that 
this industry SMOKES all others for the "fastest growing occupations".. 
iv'e looked a dozens of reports, and they all look like this one... 
  http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/lmi/misc/fastest.htm

Eight of the 10 fastest growing occupations are computer-related, 
commonly refered to as information technology occupations.

Happy New Year from Melbourne, Australia !!!

(listening to some truly demented music on the radio :)

HNY to all!

a new year of Distributed eFishAntSea to all REBOLers of the world!

(BTW...has anyone heard from Ashley?  I hope he wasn't travelling 
near the earthquake.)

aha...I see he has logged on to one of my servers in the past 6 hours...so, 
no worries!

Wow, I've just been blown away by the amount of flak I've gotten 
from some folks about my attempt at a simplistic Perl tutorial. Same 
steps and concepts as the others I've written (kind of a theme on 
my site), but apparently some folks feel that Perl is not appropriate 
for children.  Hm ... maybe they have a point :-)

They'll poke their eyes out.

They'll fall down and break their neck.

Worse yet, they might catch cold and die.

I'd guess the Perl community is several hundred times bigger than 
the REBOL one.
So more likely to include yokels and trolls.
One day, maybe the REBOL community will be that unruly :-(

has anyone heard from Ashley?

 Back in Melbourne after 3 weeks in NSW. Just doing my yearly Windows 
 reinstall and using http://www.litepc.com/xplite.htmlto really trim 
 things back this time! ;)

interesting tool ...

mmm... is the trial time-limited ?

rebol needs this sort of press in 2005 - http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:zd71TB8RgKgJ:www.bbs.ingedigit.com/TechInfo/rebol/inthenews.html 
- of late it seems to have disappeared off the radar in most tech 
circles.

Ahh thanks Ammon

has anyone used the lame-enc.dll for converting stuff to mp3 ?  http://www.fi.muni.cz/~qruzicka/Smid/man.htm.iso-8859-1

I think an application I installed could use it as a plugin, just 
by copying it into the program dir...

...but you probably mean api calls to it

yeah ....

then no... :) sorry

but there is a command line version as well

are you having trouble with it ?

that's probably just a command-line wrapper around the dll ...  where 
to get this command line version ?

I just saw it while I was surfing ...

LAMEEnc   http://www.mp3dev.org/

a gnu thingy ...

Sweet, I think I got my first hit as a result of a REBOL-related 
search on Google today :-)

Lame ain't an MP3 encoder

you're trying to connect this back to Q aren't you?

nope.

That's not what it says at mp3dev.org : "LAME is an LGPL MP3 encoder."

ok

% lame [options] inputfile [outputfile]

I want a way to generate mp3 voice mail .. this does the mp3 encoding.

Now to find a way to actually record a wav file from within rebol.
