btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1265x2] | Yeah...It can get funky - and very very particular. But once you're set up, you'll be king. |
Or insane, whatever comes first. Go for King. :) | |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1267x2] | all this just to set my time right! |
I'm going to leave a nasty comment to the person who uploaded this image! | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1269] | Under vmware/fedora - not the normal everyday config. :) |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1270] | found a how on source-forge |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1271x2] | Nice. Good luck. |
Ahh, blows. It gets very very particular. | |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1273x2] | This is getting silly. I have to run a daytime server on windows 2003 server so that my cron job on the fedora side can read the time and then set the time. |
well, that seems to work though! | |
btiffin 5-Apr-2007 [1275x2] | :) Long live the King. |
Does the clock drift immediately after that? Or did you win. | |
Graham 5-Apr-2007 [1277x3] | well it drifts but I correct it every 2 minutes with my rebol script. |
forever [ if error? set/any 'err try [ d: read daytime://192.168.220.2 d: load d call rejoin [ "date -s " {"} d/month "/" d/day "/" d/year " " d/time {"} ] ][ print mold disarm err ] wait 0:02:00 ] ] | |
something along those lines | |
btiffin 6-Apr-2007 [1280] | Ok for now. I'd keep looking into though. Shocking the system clock every two minutes...hmmm. |
Graham 6-Apr-2007 [1281] | well I have to install the vmware tools .. but I can't recompile the kernel without the kernel headers and I can't find them yet. |
Henrik 6-Apr-2007 [1282] | http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xcapmi00/etoile/<--- Étoilé is starting to look very interesting. Here's how they want it to work. |
btiffin 7-Apr-2007 [1283] | The insiders are pre-planning Debian etch release parties...woohoo! Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 If you haven't, you gotta. The only cost is time. |
btiffin 8-Apr-2007 [1284] | Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Rev 0 Released! Happy Happy Easter. http://debian.org You gotta. |
Alan 8-Apr-2007 [1285x3] | damn I was there 1 hour ago and it wasn't ready yet.So I just reinstalled Mandriva,some thing happened to my home dir.First thing after a reboot;install View/Altme :) |
now to find to file that"hopefully" will get set-browser-path working | |
to=that | |
btiffin 8-Apr-2007 [1288x3] | Alan; I don't know the deets, but ask about DO-BROWSER, one of the gurus might know something... |
Alan does your Mandriva have a sensible-browser command? | |
If it does, we can get someone to update RAMBO ticket 3455 with this hint. | |
Alan 9-Apr-2007 [1291x2] | still kind of new to Mandriva-Linux if check and get back to you |
not right now,am doing some updates and hopefully that command will be there tried several commands I found on the net with no luck | |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1293x2] | Alan; the sensible-browser seems to be a Debain branch feature. It's GPL so we can work that out. The hint I left for the RAMBO folk is to internally call sensible-browser. This won't work for us until RT does a build. Once/if that is done, we can talk/plan more, about documenting getting browse native functioning. In the meantime, try the browse: [url /only] call reform ["path to browser command" rejoin [{"} url {"}]] redef. If you know the switches for your browser, you can even code this to support /only. |
Debain is Debian | |
james_nak 9-Apr-2007 [1295] | Does anyone think that perhaps we may see a Rebol port to the Playstation 3? |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1296] | That was mentioned in the blog on Vector. http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/r3blog.r?view=0079 |
james_nak 9-Apr-2007 [1297] | Hmmm. Thanks. Wouldn't that be cool. |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1298x2] | I'm waiting for the Linux port to the Tungsten E2...that will be fun, with a little rebview running off an SD card. |
Well, to be honest I'm a Nintendo fanboy. So no :) | |
james_nak 9-Apr-2007 [1300] | I waited many moons for a Palm port in the old rebol days... alas it was not to be. So then I got a Zaurus and alas again, no rebol. : ( |
Maxim 9-Apr-2007 [1301x2] | james, the palm was memory restricted in the days. |
one process could not access enough ram to properly run any view app. | |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1303x2] | The current port seems to be waiting on the Garnet OS group. The Palm will all be running Linux soon. Yeah soon. Whatever that means. |
Max; Yeah, that is still going to me an issue. | |
Maxim 9-Apr-2007 [1305x2] | and with many apps I see, it would still quickly be ram inhibited many apps use 20MB or more. |
brian, yes linux is not too far away they where purchased by the no.1 linux handheld distributor... last I heard they are writing a palm emulator to be able to run normal palm apps on top of the linux kernel. | |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1307] | I'm looking forward, but don't care nearly as much as R3 and Debian 4.0 :) |
Maxim 9-Apr-2007 [1308] | with linux instead, then we might have a better platform, since having 64 mb palms is pretty much the minimum for a long time. and if linux can be smart and allow us to use the SD cards as ram... well then there is no more problems. |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1309] | Yeah that's what I was reading. Here's hoping REBOL/View runs. |
Maxim 9-Apr-2007 [1310] | obviously the smaller screens also meen reduced memory footprint, since rebol/view has a lot of image clip regions cached... so smaller buttons and windows... means much less ram being used for those as well :-) |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1311] | James; Do you like the Zaurus. I've promised some of the staffers that I'd get them PDA's. I was thinking about a low end Z 22 |
james_nak 9-Apr-2007 [1312] | I do but I wouldn't recommend it as a PDA. |
Ladislav 9-Apr-2007 [1313] | Max, why don't you use LOAD in PARSE, if you want to? Example: rule: [ (result: make block! 0) any [ [ ; trying to load pos: skip ( next-rule: either error? try [ set [value pos] load/next pos ] [[end skip]] [[:pos]] ) next-rule | ; load didn't succeed, using something else copy value skip ] (insert/only tail result get/any 'value) ] ] >> parse "1 2 a, 3" rule == true >> result == [1 2 "a" "," 3] |
btiffin 9-Apr-2007 [1314] | James; Thanks. I'm still leaning toward cheap Z22s. |
