[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

Maarten's program does that too .. uses Gab's library.
I think there is just a shell running that runs the encrypted source.
when new source is detected, it just downloads it, and restarts by 
loading the new source and running it.
which is why it only updates when the program starts ...

I run a Windows 2003 server on another box .. since there is no communcation 
to outside .. I decided never to update it.
That was after a particular bad instance when this box updated, and 
blue screened after that.  I had to completely reinstall the OS about 
3 times, each time blue screening after an update.  Never again!

That is really strange ... and tells something about Microsoft.

It is probably okay if you have 100%standard configuration.
I just installed suse10 on another box ( old dell poweredge server 
).
Did all the updates and then tried to install vmware server .. no 
go. complained of kernel mismatches when trying to do stuff.
So, wiped the install, installed fresh from cd, and then installed 
vmware server.  Not a single glitch now.
Should I therefore not install anymore patches?
Can not safeworlds host R3 ?

and now we have new "patches" like WGA, which may stop your computer 
from working also

why not just turn off automatic updates

 - that's what i always do. better to do the updates manually. but 
 it's a waste of time, if only they could get these things right...

I think it's a little weird that an executable can't delete itself 
while running, but another script can delete that executable while 
the executable is running. I was therefore thinking about making 
a separate "self destruct and install" script which then could be 
launched. I've done that now, but the application restarts instead 
of quitting.
another script can delete that executable while the executable is 
running

 <-- it appears that this only works when deleting the application 
 via an SMB share, not directly on the Windows machine...
moving to core...

Funny how this:

"When you guys have your Top 10, - AND - you all 
agree to the list, then we will attack it : )"

"Reichart promised 
to fix the top 10 annoyances in AltME if we could all agree. We came 
up with list - here's hoping!"
(forgot Mac throws away CRs)
That was meant to be
Funny how this:

"When you guys have your Top 10, - AND - you all 
agree to the list, then we will attack it : )"
Becomes this

"Reichart promised to fix the top 10 annoyances in 
AltME if we could all agree. We came up with list - here's hoping!"
We are indeed using the top 10 to guide what we try to fix.  But 
for the record, we will attack which ever is easiest, and which eve 
 takes the least time first, but try to make that from the top 10.

Reichart being no more "green", Maxim changed his color too iirc

I have someone at rebol-world, asking for an Account. Ashley suggested 
him to use guest/guest, but Peter says he is not able to log-in ...
it guest logging-in re-allowed for REBOL 3?
Graham

since there is more control now .. ie.  you can make it so guests 
no longer can delete groups, perhaps one of the world masters can 
recreate the guest account.

How can I make the font larger, for me the small size is "invisible", 
the larhe one is to small.
Graham

click on the aA button
Oh ..
change screen resolution??
Maybe we should create a new wish list after the Altme team completes 
our first top 10 wish list ??

Not a good idea,I want access to define the a and A style
I found an entry in the %pref-chat.txt file. (font-size: 15) A change 
here helps until I click a or A.
Suggest definition of 2 fonts something like this:
font-size-a: 15
font-size-A:20
Graham

Rebol is case insensitive

OK, what I ment is control over size the a / A was ment to be "pictorial"
I put this on the list.
What I really want to see is full exposure of text properties, rigt 
click of the aA button, but a simple "font-size" switch will do.

how it messes text with long links:(

Hi,


   Hope no one minds too much, but I've been peppering the REBOL3 Altme 
   calendar with announcements and REBOL development milestones.  The 
   calendar always looked so empty.  And we all know that the REBOL 
   community is not...empty.
