Ashley, if you really, truly, honestly, don't want to own any possessions 
(I mean you're not just joking, but actually believe what you quoted), 
please send your Apple computers to me. :>) Merry Christmas!

Ashley, before you send your Macs to Louis, please could yuo send 
me an OS X 10.3 CD if you have one. I'm desparate to get off 10.2.8 
:-0

desparate !!!  Have you got a typing tutor too?

Merry Christmas to the believers and to the unbelievers, heretics 
and apostates too.)

Merry Christmas from Sicily too !

That norad santa just passed over Christmas island a minute ago.

I just happened to look at it at the right moment. Merry Xmas !

Cool Yule to you all.

Felicitations to all!

print ["happy new year for" to-integer (10 ** 3) + (10 ** 3) + (2 
** 3) "to us all"]


(There's a second way to do that as the sum of three positive integers 
cubed. Try it!.)

Has anyone done a "glossy tabletop" reflection effect in DRAW? That 
is, you have an image, it's full size is reflected 0x1, and alpha-grads 
away vertically.

I'm thinking I'll have to have a reflection face and draw into that 
separately.

There are many ways to do that.

Show image
Show image upside down below it.
Put alpha gradiant of table colour in front of that.

It will alos look a lot better if you add a feathered ellipse near 
the base of the highlight colour from the image.

Another way is:

Show image
Show image upsaide down, but just the top 1/4 for example.  
Do an alpha fade on the image (if you have that funciton)
Do the same shadow trick of the ellipse.

I was hoping for existing code. :-) I already have the flip bit, 
but then couldn't find a draw command to let me alpha a four-point 
spec'd image. I figure I'll have to do it with two faces, which is 
OK.

Does anybody know where I can find some typographic rules where to 
break a line in english language? For example I guess that I should 
not leave  A or AN at the end of line, am I right?

Take a look at how TeX does it?
http://defoe.sourceforge.net/folio/knuth-plass.html

Or look up "word wrap" in wikipedia for some other pointers

so there is no Rebol script yet? :)

And the algorithm is not typographic... it's just breaking lines 
to have the best spaces left. I'm looking for typographically correct 
one. Or there are no such a rules in english?

As far as I know, no....English can break at any word.

Most of the rules are for how to hypenate if a word needs to be broken 
at a line end, eg:
http://www.bartleby.com/141/strunk.html#8

didn't Gabriele do some work on this with pdf-maker ?

oldes, hypenation algorithms is what you are looking for. TeX has 
probably the best one (at least for english, but i think it works 
for most if not all western languages).

line breaking comes *after* hyphenation.

(in TeX i mean)

so you should not look at how TeX breaks lines, but at how TeX hyphenates 
words.

Gregg, it isn't DRAW, but do you mean something like:

palms: load-thru/binary http://www.rebol.com/view/palms.jpg

view layout [backdrop black image palms image palms effect [merge 
flip 0x1 gradmul 0x1 128.128.128 black]]
or

view layout [backdrop black image palms image palms effect [flip 
0x1] pad palms/size * 0x-1 - 0x8 box palms/size effect [merge gradmul 
0x1 128.128.128 black]]

That's pretty much what I'm doing now John. Imagine, though, if you 
want to build a coverflow style interface.

I have been looking for a tutorial or basic example on creating a 
calendar but have had little sucess. are there any others besides 
two I found in the script library?

Other than one that was included with IOS, and modified by eFishAnt 
but I don't believe made available to the public due to it also being 
used in IOS, those are your only two options.

It would be a good community project and would form the basis of 
a good tutorial though. ;-).  Count me in if anyone wants to spearhead 
this.

Rebgui has a calendar and Allen has a calendar style for VID.

http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui/browser/widgets/calendar.rand lines 
183-231 from http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui/browser/rebgui-widgets.r

I made 'Organised' which was latterly available on Developer IOS. 
 It took a diary-style approach to UI.

Ok thanks

Does anyone know a good tool to make screen records? I want to capture 
a demo trail of my application which I can use for presentaitons.

roboDemo is quite cool

http://www.debugmode.com/wink/

camtasia is my favourite when it comes to screencasts. Easy & intuitive 
and you can obtain previous versions (yet fully functional ones) 
for free.

We use Camtasia as well.

camtasia - until a few days ago.  I think their offer expired.

Hello, I whish to create the DocBase group. Is there with admin priviledge

done for you

See !DocBase

Hi Izkata, I have been trying to use your calendar application. When 
I paste Scheduler.r in to view I get the following error message:

** Script Error: Interface has no value
** Near: view/new/title Interface "Calendar"
do %NetworkingStuff.r


when I click on the file it causes view to shut down. What am I doing 
wrong?

uhh

I haven't looked at that for quite a while..  let me get back to 
you

thank you
