Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1153] | understanding Brenno de Winter's article is even harder |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1154x3] | It can easily be downloaded into a line-wrapping viewer |
That's a problem of a different order: learn Dutch :-) | |
Anyway, I'vejust replaced our website with my own REBOL content management system, so the documentation plan has been set in motion | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1157] | Yet Another Rebol Content Management System ? |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1158x2] | Yup |
Sorry, but I don't understand why nobody does it my way :-) | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1160x3] | You're definitely not being invited to R3! |
I'd consider using it as a virtualisation platform, but I guess I'd wait till a GUI was wrapped around at least the installation | |
and I could VNC into the server | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1163x3] | Yeah, I'm looking at VNC and stuff like that for the next round |
QEmu has a built-in VNC server, so if you run virtualised systems on Server, you should be able to VNC into them; but I haven't tried it yet | |
There's also VNC support in the DirectFB video subsystem, so that we be another level to integrate at, but I have to build it in first | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1166x2] | make sure that you have an image that can run on S3 :) |
.. I mean EC2 | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1168x3] | Ehm, that's a secret plan... |
Our website already runs on S3, and our downloads | |
Supported by my CMS, albeit through Ruby | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1171] | interesting |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1172x2] | Starting to feel for my way? ;-) |
A basic installer is one of the next projects, but it's one of those things that I don't know when I will get to | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1174] | a movie will do :) |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1175] | An instruction movie? |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1176] | yeah .. |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1177] | Do you think that would add to command-line instructions? |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1178] | it means I wouldn't have to read the instructions :) |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1179] | You won't get away with that :-) |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1180] | Amazon have all those instructional movies |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1181] | But I could do a slideshow when I prepare an emulator image] |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1182] | Only hard core users will do a console install .. so need to bridge to those others |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1183x2] | Yeah, it's for hardcore and adventurous users now. After you install, you're on your own configuring, anyway |
But I made sure that all standard configurations have useful default settings, unlike most Linuxes | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1185x2] | We moved our daylight saving this year ... |
I think all my linux boxes have the wrong time. | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1187] | If you're installing on a stand-alone machine, you could get away without configuring anything, and with a different partition setup you only have to modify the filesystem table, which is standard practice for Unix types |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1188] | and there doesn't appear to be a fix for windows 2000 |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1189] | Yeah, I read Debian refused to update it? |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1190] | Will Syllable be better ? |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1191] | Eventually... |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1192] | Support NZ's new daylight saving hours? |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1193] | We don't do timezone database updates yet, but we've been discussing it |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1194x2] | my rebelBB.cgi script has stopped working |
because the imap server thinks the time is wrong and keeps shutting down :( | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1196] | Yet another REBOL bulletin board? :-) |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1197] | Yep .. French one |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1198] | Of course I'm planning my own :-) |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1199] | uses an IMAP server to store the messages |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1200] | Integrating with legacy stuff always brings headaches |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1201] | perhaps I should just use UTC and forget about it |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1202] | I can already see why I wouldn't want to use that one |
