Maxim 3-Oct-2006 [1284] | my only problem with IM is that if you are not there at the moment of the discussion... its often useless to try and figure out all the threads. just like trying to listen to a taped meeting.. but you are right that e-mail in itself is not very structured (which is why I like google :-) nothing lost, spam is not intrusive. |
MikeL 4-Oct-2006 [1285] | Max, GOod point ... I would like AltMe to have a "light weight thread" ability. It needs a way to say which prior item (if any) you are dealing with (maybe selecting it before you start typing), a way to see that thread only, and a re-sort capability on "When Sent" to put it back in journal order. It would also help if we can sort by User so that I can find all of the references by XXXX when someone says they are replying to them. I guess Groups were intended to do some of that but there is so much good discussion captured that Groups aren't enough. p.s. I'm sure Reichart thought about AltMe threading. |
Volker 4-Oct-2006 [1286] | I would like some support for a summary, with an editor, not threads. ability to write a summary for a block of messages. |
Geomol 4-Oct-2006 [1287] | Good idea with a summary for a block of messages. I'm daily concerned with the problem of reducing information to only the crucial knowledge. Having tons of information, and you know nothing. Having a little of the right information is a lot better. Of course all the original information should be available. |
Volker 4-Oct-2006 [1288] | yes, could even make the summary while chatting about it. first draft, some coments, second, final. |
Ingo 4-Oct-2006 [1289] | And if I search for a message, and it is found outside the current display threshold, it should just be displayed! The way it works now is just stupid. |
yeksoon 12-Oct-2006 [1290] | Netgear has a Skype phone released http://netgear.com/Products/CommunicationsVoIP.aspx?for=All pretty neat...definitely changing the way telcos work |
Pekr 22-Oct-2006 [1291] | hmm, so after JAVA adding scripting for 6.0, SAP adds scripting too :-) https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4405 |
Brock 23-Oct-2006 [1292x4] | A market we should be able influence... Portable applications. |
Here's one that may be handy for those looking for a system tray-like feature | |
http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/pstart | |
Geomol's DPaint clone would be a nice little packaged app. | |
Henrik 23-Oct-2006 [1296x2] | REBOL would have a big market in embedded hardware for administration tools. |
It's easy. I made some tools for my Linksys access point, which could only read out signal strength about once every 30 seconds with reloading the webpage on its internal webserver. By using REBOL and telnet access on it, I could get a real time graph for the same thing. It's even less stressful and requires less bandwidth for the access point. There must be many other things that can be improved like that. | |
Graham 23-Oct-2006 [1298] | do post it ... |
Henrik 23-Oct-2006 [1299] | graham, requires a specific model of linksys access point with a modified firmware to get telnet access... |
Graham 23-Oct-2006 [1300] | oh ... |
Henrik 23-Oct-2006 [1301x2] | but you get the point :-) |
could make a piece of 100$ hardware worth 250$ with REBOL alone | |
Graham 23-Oct-2006 [1303] | Jaime has APs etc that run Rebol embedded. |
Henrik 23-Oct-2006 [1304] | so there is a market for it :-) |
Maxim 23-Oct-2006 [1305] | if cisco used REBOL ;-) |
Henrik 23-Oct-2006 [1306] | then they would use IOS... oh wait, they do. but not that IOS :-) |
Maxim 23-Oct-2006 [1307] | ;-) |
Geomol 23-Oct-2006 [1308] | Brock, yes not a bad idea! I'm just waiting for a version of REBOL (with DRAW), that works the same on major graphical platforms (Win, OSX and Linux/UNIX). |
Pekr 26-Oct-2006 [1309] | Sun to open-source JAVA soon - http://news.yahoo.com/s/infoworld/20061025/tc_infoworld/83138 |
Jerry 26-Oct-2006 [1310] | Adobe Apollo http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo |
[unknown: 9] 27-Oct-2006 [1311] | Java was not open source? I did not know that. |
BrianW 27-Oct-2006 [1312] | They had their own funky license. Don't know what it is, because I never really pay attention to Java. But they've been bragging about some sort of "developer community" for about ... 1 year? |
BrianH 27-Oct-2006 [1313] | They've been bragging for much longer than that, but their license was more like shared source, but more restrictive. |
Anton 28-Oct-2006 [1314] | Yes, I think it was that any improvements you made to the core were owned by Sun. Something like that. |
Terry 28-Oct-2006 [1315] | Some things are clearer with hindsight of several years. It is necessary to evolve HTML incrementally. The attempt to get the world to switch to XML, including quotes around attribute values and slashes in empty tags and namespaces all at once didn’t work. The large HTML-generating public did not move, largely because the browsers didn’t complain. Some large communities did shift and are enjoying the fruits of well-formed systems, but not all. It is important to maintain HTML incrementally, as well as continuing a transition to well-formed world, and developing more power in that world. The plan is to charter a completely new HTML group. Unlike the previous one, this one will be chartered to do incremental improvements to HTML, as also in parallel xHTML. It will have a different chair and staff contact. It will work on HTML and xHTML together. We have strong support for this group, from many people we have talked to, including browser makers. Tim Berners - Lee |
Volker 29-Oct-2006 [1316] | This is basically LSL and PHP code that can be used to communicate between an object in SecondLife and your web server. http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=ExampleRPC2PHP |
Terry 30-Oct-2006 [1317] | that is so verbose |
Pekr 30-Oct-2006 [1318x2] | what's new in FF 2.0, standards/technology wise - http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Firefox_2_for_developers |
I just briefly looked into JavaScript 1.7 and client side sessions ... | |
yeksoon 1-Nov-2006 [1320] | Google acquired JotSpot http://www.jot.com/ hmm.. with Calendar, Spreadsheet, etc...they may turn it into a Project Management thing. |
Pekr 1-Nov-2006 [1321x2] | The flawed word of web standards? http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061029-8101.html |
maybe Reichart should think about QTask interface for R3 :-) | |
Allen 2-Nov-2006 [1323] | As W3C have discovered, a "standard" is what the majority of people are using, not necessarily what a committee says it is. :-) |
yeksoon 3-Nov-2006 [1324] | my standard and your standard. |
Maxim 3-Nov-2006 [1325] | I always like the term "A NEW STANDARD" :-) |
Anton 5-Nov-2006 [1326] | http://home.comcast.net/~justin_brady/walkietalkie/ |
[unknown: 9] 5-Nov-2006 [1327x2] | Cute, has anyone made a peerless thing like Skype? It would assume that each client would need to relay to at least one additional client. |
We use TeamSpeak still, it works about 85% of the time, and with about 85% of people. For example Europe gets messed up sometimes. | |
Anton 5-Nov-2006 [1329] | I'm still interested in non-proprietary stuff. I'd like to try out walkietalkie sometime. Linux source is available. Could probably make something like that in rebol, with a support DLL. But not today.... |
Ladislav 8-Nov-2006 [1330x2] | See the newest development in hash functions: http://cryptography.hyperlink.cz/SNMAC/SNMAC_EN.pdf |
(the first hash proposal offering a safety proof) | |
Pekr 9-Nov-2006 [1332] | What we were supposed to get back in 2003? http://youtube.com/watch?v=b9ifQvQCO7Y - what a multiimedia capabilities :-) |
Pekr 12-Nov-2006 [1333] | Is sun going to be the technology leader instead of IBM? - http://www.sun.com/emrkt/blackbox/index.jsp |
