World: r3wp

Tornado alley...

Yes we get them often.

Was in one about 4 years ago that ripped the roof off the house across 
the street from us.

another interesting live event http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/wiki/Streaming

We had one years ago 25+ that put a foxphoto store in the middle 
of the street and didn't even spill the rolls of film from the shelves.

This was about a mile from my home:

all those damned UTC, EST ... isn't there any simple measure for 
one's local time?

Not to rag on you, but UTC "is" the simple measure...

This DevCon is going to be a DRY RUN (meaning, "let's learn").

yes, simple measure = at least 2 or 3 ppl here confused here, WHEN 
actually does the even start :-)

We're in -6, so for us it starts at 2pm.

2h from now.

Sorry, "we" is stretching it.

(not much suprises me.............but it is interesting how some 
programmers get very confused by time offsets.  I wonder if this 
is the same reason American's get confused by metric)

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/


At the bottom of the page it says "Current UTC (or GMT/Zulu)-time 
used: Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 18:12:34" (right now)

Oy, need to get a move on...

(not confused, just running late...)

Chris, it would be cool to add a count down timer on the website 
though, and easy to do...

Sure, where's the code?

May I suggest that the following be added to the home page of REBOLConf.info 
website:

- Much bigger date and time.
- Link to the video conference.
- List of known speakers.

I'm working as fast as I can with the info (still have a prez to 
write too).

Sunanda, that looks like a nasty one.

Chris, your site also needs a link to the conference location, perhaps 
in the Where section.

Nevermind, Reichart already mentioned that.

Please feel free to add!!!

I am only working on the front page.  All others need content.

I don't know the url of the video conference. That is why I was looking 
at your site in the first place (though it's nice).

It's above in this chat.

I need: a countdown timer that sits in an external file, is invoked 
with startTimer('date and time string'); and changes the text content 
of <span id="counter">.  That is all.  Otherwise, no timer...

I need, a Schedule.

http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/Schedule

I need: short Bios on speakers: http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/People

A brief rundown of REBOL resources here: http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/Learn

I put the link out there for where. I can't find the schedule anywhere.

What schedule there is has always been here in AltME - REBOL3 - Checklist

Chris, if you click on my presentation, all my information is in 
there.  Photo, Bio, Topic, and Description.

I never even knew there was checklists  for REBCON until now.  Thanks 
Reichart.

Chris, I would update it with that info but not sure how the snippet 
works.

It's just a stripped down version of make doc.

(forgot how odd makedoc was).

http://rockfactory.us/rooms/room22/is exposing my password

Not to mention rejecting it when I am already lgged in at  http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/People

Do I need a second login for that 'home' page security 'JOIN CONF' 
??

Incorrect Username/Password.

RobertS, They're not tied together.  Please use "devcon/devcon"

at which URL, please

http://rockfactory.us/rooms/room22/

so where should I have registered?

I am logged in at rebolconf.info

ah by devcon/devcon you mena user/pwd

There was no formal registration this year - just the discussion 
here and an informal list at http://rockfactory.us/events/devcon.cgi

yes, devcon/devcon is user/pass

Robert, cehck out - http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/Developers_Conference_2008
