World: r3wp

BTW, new tests posted in Viewtop REBOL/tests dir.

http://www.colellachiara.com/devcon05/

I just updated the DevCon web site.

I would like your permission to publish some of the groups here on 
R3 to the web site. See:
http://www.rebol.net/article/0183.html


The only groups that will be published will be those that have descriptions 
that contain the string [web-public].


If I do not hear any objections (post them to "Carl Only" group), 
I will fire up the scripts and get this started.

REBOL3 World Messages (for a few groups) are now on the web:
www.rebol.net/altweb/rebol3

I only published a few for testing -- feel free to publish others. 
 However, you cannot publish a private group.

Add [web-public] to the group discription to publish it. BTW, the 
web updates every 5 mins currently.

I designed a drive scrubbing script using Rebol Encap to remove all 
traces of files from your media, including hard drives, based off 
the DOD 5220.22 specifications for secure data removal.

You can download a copy from here:  http://www.sonic.net/~amicom/bin/clean-drive.exe

The only thing I ask is that if you use it and find a data recovery 
utility that can recover any of the data, please let me know.  I'd 
like to know what parameters you used to clean the drive, what utility 
you used to recover the data, and the condition of the recovered 
data.

I'm looking forward to encap based off View1.3 now, as I had to make 
some modifications to make it work with my older version of Encap.

Be aware, if you have a lot of free space on the media (i.e. dozens 
of gigabytes), it could take quite some time to complete.

The way it works is it overwrites all the free space on the disk 
with different binary patterns.  It will not affect your active files, 
except possibly if there is a problem with the directory structure 
of your filesystem.  Therefore, it is suggested to run Scandisk or 
Chkdsk to correct any directory structure problems first.


Obviously, this program is written to run on Windows and will not 
work on other operating systems at this time.

For anyone reading this on AltWeb, please email me at [LTC-:-sonic-:-net] 
with your findings.  Thanks!

Cool.

I wrote the program totally pro bono for a client who wants to donate 
a computer that had sensitive information on it to an underpriviledged 
school child, but I want to make sure the data is totally unrecoverable.

sorry

Bo, see if Steve Gibson will do a test for you. http://grc.com.

My X Internet talk went well last night, lots of enthusiasm by IT 
professionals there.  Might even have snagged a sizeable government 
project which needs technical guidance...you never know who's listening...;-) 
 (I will be out of socket till Sunday, for some R&R (REBOL and Relaxation 
is what that means)

MACOSX  REBOL/VIEW AVAILABLE !!! http://www.rebol.net/builds/024/rebview1300124b

...in early Alpha stage (for now)

so test it send bugs report to rambo and we will get a pretty good 
version

It's yet very good to have a working alpha version for MacOSX after 
only 1 month of the Win32 1.3  stable release. Even in the 1.3 stable 
version for win 32  we have remaining bugs like agg matrix key word 
or gradient effect converion from SVG

post comments in ann-reply, please, not probably here? :-)

Rebol View 1.3 for Linux was just released ....

Pekr:can you give the url, I could not find on download. Thanks !

http://www.rebol.net/builds/042/

thanks !

1.3 Linux BETA was released. I imagine the release will take a while 
b/c AGG fonts under Linux

Well, a bit OT but the right group anyway: This week I got the info 
I will become father :-)))

Wahoo!

congradulations Robert

Congrats Robert!!!

Congratulations Robert!

congrats to your wife robert!

:)

congratulations to both of you =) life IS SWEET !

A REBOL VM or "what I did on my summer vacation":
http://www.rebol.net/article/0196.html

congratulations to all 3 of you, Robert!

sorry carl i think vacations are just hiking around the mountains 
or relaxing along the beach =) and yes i think everybody deserves 
some time off even CEO's.

vacation? what's that?

Vacation is the lifetime, when you are allowed to go your job tasks 
as a hobby :-)

go=do .... ah, wrong group ...

Ahh yes Henrik welcome to my world...vacation is in reality  a non 
exsiting word for some of us =(

Thanks to all of you.

Graham, I'm not married ;-)) (yet) but step-by-step.

Active Viewtop ...
I have added some "activity" to the viewtop ...
- index.r files may be 'COMPOSEd before being displayed

- added 'actions to index.r: they have a block which will be 'DOne 
on click

- added groups to group viewtop icons (group effects are possible)

- added the possibility to split the viewtop, so you can have a view 
script on the right half of the viewtop, e.g. to display a clock, 
calendar, ....

All batteries and some examples are included.
Based on 1.3.1 viewtop code.
Tested on /View 1.3.1.3.1 (WinXP).

Sorry, this will open a LOT of security holes, so you should _really_ 
think about whether you want to use it.
I think all places I changed are flagged with (iho)


and finally, here is the link: http://www.h-o-h.org/active-viewtop.r

Have fun!

Sept 1 has been designated as a "don't buy a drop of gas" day as 
a protest, passing this on...

Darn, I won't be able to protest. Never buy gas :-)

Protest about what?
