World: r4wp

People on facebook seem to have trouble creating R3 chat accounts.

Yes, it doesn't work.

Congrats NickA on the nice and big work!

Thanks NickA.  Great work!

Nice, Nick!
Need to get that added to RebolBot!

Cool stuff Nick! You had to put lot of effort into it.

This tricked me to program again since long time

Did you notice that the updated date is 29-Feb-2013?  That date doesn't 
exist.

Yep - hehe, just changed that :)

Nick: in your business_programming.html page, I think your missing 
a % character in following code line:

    do mysql-107.rip

Shoot - yes - that section needs to be updated!  (copied it from 
the very old text from several years ago).

I wrote several hundred new pages for the "business" text.  I need 
to go through the previous material.  Any other corrections are welcom.

welcome

Thanks for posting Nick. I hope to get time to read them in the next 
few days.

Very nice, NickA!

You should publish it as a book someday Nick!

Graham, I haven't tried to grab a cookie or anything yet, but just 
running the SO bot errors out first thing:

** Script error: lastmessage-no has no value
** Where: get ajoin case ?? do either either either -apply-
** Near: get :name

What optimizations are you looking for?

I'd set last-message to 0 then

basically anything that is more efficient or Rebolish

I'd commented out last-message: nnnnn :(

Great contribution, Nick

@NickA: About enhanced r3 chat, have a look to %wchat.r in the %OpenMe/ 
folder of this Altme world.

Basically its %chat.r but it act as a proxy between the Devbase server 
and the browser. The goal is that the browser replace the CLI interface 
: not typing command in CLI but cliking link in the browser.

Its just a start. There is some work to do to handle POST request 
and then allow posting. + enhancing HTML presentation.

It works also with R3Droid!

I had absolutly no returns on this, so I guess nobody tried it. Then 
I stopped working on it, cause I have very few time for Rebol these 
days.

I think, I never understood what your changes did  :-)

the R3 chat was also down recently.  I wish I had more time to play 
on "fun" projects like this  :-)

Yes, DevBase goes down when I start working on wchat! Dunno if it's 
multiple connection/deconnection that make it goes down.

Note : I just post my first message in Devbase (R3chat) from my browser 
with wchat :-)

Nick, these are awesome new tutorials. I've already sent the links 
to my Atronix colleagues.

And that's what @rebolbot sees too now http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/8019099#8019099

ddharing:  thank you, hope it's helpful :) R3 stuff next.

DideC, thank you, I'll take a look at it - never knew it existed...

Carl's comment about getting graphics running on the Raspberry Pi 
makes me wonder if Carl has a project in mind, with Raspberry Pi 
as the heart.

I like Cyphre!

Cyphre has a huge responsibility getting R3GUI running on Android. 
 Everything he's ever created for REBOL has been top notch.  If we 
had 5 - 10 more Cyphres in this community, REBOL would be in a totally 
different place.

Agreed. We had better cherish the one Cyphre we have.

I have to agree with that. Cyphre is doing so much for us. :-)

There is only so much Cyphre that we can apply to the projects, alas. 
I hope that we can get some other talented people to take on perhaps 
individual Cyphre-class projects so he doesn't have to do so much 
overall. Hopefully the new open source projects can attract more 
people, or even have some come back (Hi Maarten!). Fork's efforts 
may help here.

Not to mention a couple other Brian's.

I like Cyphre's proposal for rehaul of View engine :-)

Hopefully it would be adaptable to Red later, although Red has a 
bit different GUI priorities.

Pekr, unless this is a huge rehash that you don't want to repeat, 
could you let me know which View engine proposal you're talking about? 
I don't do GUI stuff so it's been a while since I caught up with 
current events. In the !R3-GUI group if that's appropriate.

Haven't you seen Google Cyphre's post?

We have 3 Brians I know of so far with different strengths. More 
would be welcome, of course :)

No, I haven't been following it. I haven't been in any Google groups 
in months.

well, IIRC Ladislav (or maybe someone other) posted the link few 
days ago here ....

Ah, I was busy with other stuff then.

OK, so it's the R3 gob model with pluggable backend engines. Looks 
good to me.

Yes, looks really good ....

That's great Gregg, thanks!

Kaj: it works now from command-line on Win7 and an icon for an hidden 
window appears in the task bar.

Donated 15 EUR to Red.
