- MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT -  Custom Gob Renderers :  prototype released


After weeks of work at various levels, here is the first prototype 
release of my R3 host-kit running OpenGL in HW.

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/files/r3-cgr.zip


I updated it to A109 this week-end, I also completely rebuilt the 
file structure so that all of my tools are outside of the host tree.

only the actual host-code patches remain within the host.  the distribution 
includes compiled versions as well as the latest R2 2.7.7 unreleased 
patch.


note that the current OpenGL CGR is not currently very programmable 
a part from giving it polygons to view, you can't change anything.

the view will rotate by 1 degre everytime you call show or refresh 
on it  (so it can be used for model turntables).

resizing the window resizes the view.   notice that full-screen doesn't 
affect rendering that much.

open the readme file for more information


also note that the current geometry engine auto-calculates surface 
normals using face normals, so you'll have a faceted look.

next release I'll add support for vertex normals which will allow 
smooth shading (at no cost).


please reply in ann-reply, and report any problems you may have... 
I'll fix ASAP.Custom Gob RenderersCustom Gob Renderers

Grebox 0.2.3 is out !  

A bug appeared after intalling MingW GCC as paths were relatives 
the whole compilation stuff was messed up. 

So now path are set to Static and and compilation should work perfectly.

for those interrested: http://shadwolf.free.fr/grebox.0.2.3.zip

completely rebuilt CGR host-kit, with a few readme files, 3 examples 
and yes finally, the crashing bug found and cured.

Special Thanks go to Andreas for helping out on a few things including 
a gcc makefile and a lot of patience.  :-)

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nlwas running on a combination 
of QuarterMaster and my own CMS. Over the past few weeks, I've extended 
the CMS enough to move the whole site to it

I'm still using QuarterMaster for sites where I need session and 
user management

Sunanda noted that evaluation of R3 formulas was outdated. I adapted 
it to the new R3 A109 now. Values are bound to the new LIB context 
and new SET values are bound to the user context

I upgraded the host kit on Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server to 
alpha 110. Here's the build recipe:

I've had recently the opportunity to dust off my experimental LDAP 
driver code, so I've decided to release it as-is, even if it's unfinished, 
at least querying the server and retrieving data is supported. Download 
at: http://softinnov.org/dl/ldap-protocol.r


The query dialect is probably not working 100%, but at least basic 
queries should do the job. I don't intend to implement more features 
now because I don't have any needs for a LDAP driver, but I'll try 
to fix the query dialect if required by users. I might accept to 
add the missing features and polish it under contracted work or bounty 
(if high enough).

Basic usage syntax and examples can be found in the file header.
Please use Ann-reply group for feedbacks.

Extensions for R3 : simple TTS, Matlab extension, Windows Api extension, 

pages updated with the new versions (binaries and sources) compatibles 
a110 :

http://www.colineau.fr/rebol/R3_extensions.html

Originally, it was me, who started the "Exceptions" article. Due 
to the way how Brian handled my code in it:

- intendedly introducing bugs to it

, due to the way how he handled my proposals in the article


- changing my proposals in a way effectively disrespecting my right 
to propose anything


, and due to fact, that he introduced too many unsubstantiated (some 
even ureadable for me) claims to the article, I decided to create 
a new page at

http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Exception_proposals

Advantages:

- the page's goal is to not introduce unsubstantiated claims

- the page is meant for everybody to add his own thoughts / proposals 
as long as he does not do willful changes disrespecting the right 
of other people to propose something


Mr. Brian Hawley is not welcome in hope, that the "Exceptions" page 
he turned into his own sandbox would suffice for his needs.

Sorry. I was just adding the information from the last time the subject 
was discussed, and factors that weren't considered. No offence was 
intended. I'll stay out of this one if you prefer. The old pages 
are still there for reference.

Publish a script on rebol.org called get-rebol-ressources.r :

The main goal of this script is to download important ressources 
for REBOL.

So everywhere in the world, download a CORE version of REBOL and 
this script, and you can get all the important REBOL ressources.
Must add link to softinnov product.

Some words like Color and Colour -- same meaning, different spelling

Updated my ImageMagick extension and doc. It is now possible to exchange 
image data between Rebol and ImageMagick without using disk files, 
thanks to the "mpr:" (memory program register) format which allows 
in-memory save and recover.

http://www.colineau.fr/rebol/R3_extensions.html(refresh the page 
in your web navigator)

With my host kit environment updated to A110, I've started extension 
writing. It was rather difficult to get the first dummy extension 
working because the documentation and example sources are woefully 
out of date, so I had to cobble things together from all corners 
and the discussions here

I've made it into a Hello World style example extension that works 
on both Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server. There are also hints 
for Windows in the makefile. The sources are here:

Hi Kaj, if the extension and host kit and extension instruction are 
out of date then please update for some of us newbies.

I've ported my CMS to REBOL 3. It runs on both REBOL 3 and REBOL 
2 now, with a set of compatibility functions

I made two screenshots, so y'all will be able to see and believe 
:-)

my current pending release projects are mainly glass and remark.

Very impressive, and smart, and healthy... and for employing a LOT 
of mall cops :)

I've uploaded my FMOD extension test project to GitHUB:  https://github.com/Oldes/R3-extension-FMOD.

IThis is REBOL3's extension wrapper to FMOD API.

It has command for all 336 FMOD api functions, but 162 of them are 
just placeholders as it require more work.

I must say that this is my first C project which I'm using to learn 
C and REBOL Extensions, so feel free to correct me if you can.


Also I must note, that the main.c file was automaticaly generated 
so it's possible that not everything works, I tested just basics 
so far.

And technically, it would be 361 days

I don't see it moved over.  I restarted AltMe as well as changed 
to my personal groups and back Worldmaster groups.

- VIEW function cleanup, now it should work on block of faces as 
well
- fixed panel(container) names binding
- fixed 'load trigger calling
- fixed WHEN style
- misc smaller fixes
- old unused code cleanup

I'm announcing my retirement of this community. My hate toward rebol 
community has been growing up alot this past year. I'm very sad you 
people can't setup a positive motion for this community after more 
than a decade less than 50 people around the world are active. Your 
are not anough to disperse effort and you are not critical anough 
to have the might and guts to lead project to their end. This community 
is dead for me the gurus supposed to give direction and setup priority 
have miserably failed on their task.

I want anyway to thank you all for your kindness, your time, your 
passion. But you have to see that small time, small means and lazyness 
don't build pyramids. You can't get to be productive and serrious 
and that's a pain to see. I tryed my best to get things moving around. 
I tryed my best to help. Even if  franckly my  center of interest 
was not on par with the topics. I tryed to give my point of view 
alway in the idea of making things better for us all and find ways 
to share the burden.

(not being in any way sarcastic here!  really I hope you find what 
you need and become happy again  :-)

So to shadwolf, I adore your efforts and admired your enthusiasm. 
 You proved yourself more excellent than the majority of REBOL adherents.

yeah, documentation usually takes up to 3 times as long as coding.... 
there is What, How and often Why to explain all the time.

I've updated the R3 ODBC extension to R3A110, see it and get it from 
http://www.diefettenjahresindvorbei.de/odbc/odbc-docs.html
This is the first version which works with date values.

GLASS RELEASE 002
---------------------------

released last week, but posting it here to make it easier to find, 
since the GLASS group has a lot of discussion in it....

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/files/glass-r002.zip


-adds the editor style, which is now able to show text and scroll 
in real-time, but still has no keyboard handling yet.
-adds a few new more advanced tutorials

-adds a new demo app which is the basis for a full text-editor in 
REBOL (you can use the load button which allows you to load text 
within the editor, it loads files almost instantaneously... I was 
surprised how quickly it loaded even 1MB files), file size doesn't 
change editor refresh speed..

very extensive history of changes, 
very extensive TO DO list

some improvements to libs here and there.

Christian Ensel: I've updated the R3 ODBC extension to R3A110, see 
it and get it from http://www.diefettenjahresindvorbei.de/odbc/odbc-docs.html
This is the first version which works with date values.

This is experimental because the 4.2 Ubuntu variant is not available 
and the 4.3 Fedora build has bombed out in the past. However, that 
and even the new 4.4 GLibC 2.11 variant seem to run on Syllable Server, 
which only has GLibC 2.7

Announcing "r3-zmq", a REBOL 3 extension providing a low-level binding 
to the ØMQ library:
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq


That's right, another zmq binding! This one provides a (mostly complete) 
1:1 mapping of the zmq API (v2.0.10) to R3 commands. Most of the 
zmq API is implemented, the functions still missing are: zmq_setsockopt, 
zmq_getsockopt, zmq_poll.


Examples and bundled distributions are forthcoming in the near future. 
But building it against ZeroMQ 2.0.10 and utilising the official 
zmq API documentation [1], you should be able to follow the ZeroMQ 
Guide [2] quite nicely.

[1] http://api.zeromq.org/2-0-10:_start
[2] http://zguide.zeromq.org/

Finally, here's a r3-zmq preview package, containing pre-built binaries 
of the extension as well as the 0MQ library for both, _Linux and 
Win32_:
http://bolka.at/2011/rebol3/zmq-20110303-g6446f9.tar.gz


With this package you can conveniently run the examples and play 
around without having to compile or install anything. The included 
README.dist.mkd should get you started with running the examples.

If anyone is interested, I have started work on a REBOL Redis API 
at http://code.google.com/p/disreb/. Redis is a nice no-SQL database 
(see http://redis.io) that I'm using at work to keep various processes 
written in several different languages across multiple computers 
in sync. There didn't seem to be a Redis API for REBOL, so I thought 
I would write one. Although it's still early days and mostly implemented 
for my needs at the moment, someone else might find it useful.

Feedback, suggestions most appreciated! Thanks!

or just simply type LOAD-GUI in the RMA version of R3.exe


Feel free to try it and let us know in the R3GUI Altme group. Any 
feedback is appreciated.


NOTE: this version is compatible only with the RMA version of Rebol3. 
You can get it from: http://www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/rma-r3-build.zip

Release notes:

-updated documentation (though still incomplete)
-complete new set of examples
-new hint based autosizing

-many internal and style related fixes and improvements, for details 
see: http://rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/#toc1

An evaluation of the compatibility of this new release of R3GUI with 
the standard r3-a111 release (recompiled), and an adaptation of the 
Carl's demo.r to this r3-gui.r3. Result : very good. It's time to 
develop r3 view applications !
http://www.colineau.fr/rebol/r3-gui.html

r3-zmq now also provides bindings for zmq_setsockopt/zmq_getsockopt 
and zmq-poll. The R3 extension thereby _fully_ implements the ØMQ 
library API (as of ØMQ 2.0.10).

The current sources can be found at:
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq


With zmq_setsockopt implemented, PUB/SUB sockets now work just fine, 
as illustrated by two examples:
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq/blob/d083b3/examples/wuserver.r3
https://github.com/earl/r3-zmq/blob/d083b3/examples/wuclient.r3


Thanks to Oldes for reporting & helping fix an issue in the build 
system on Win32.


For your convenience, a preview package bundling pre-built binaries 
of the extension and libzmq (2.0.10) for Linux and Win32 can be obtained 
at:
http://bolka.at/2011/rebol3/r3-zmq-20110307-gd083b3.tar.gz

Installation and setup is all covered in the docs, but in fact, its 
just a question of dropping the file trre right over a cheyenne directory 
tree.
a demo is included as well as a http.cfg file to enable the demo.


it takes 5 minutes to setup and run the demo, as long as you've got 
port 81 free.

Github open sourced their language highlighting/recognition tool 
two days ago. I just submitted a patch to disambiguate .r files between 
R and REBOL:

https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/20


I'm quite optimistic that this will get integrated in one way or 
the other. So somewhen in the future we should have proper syntax 
highlighting and language statistics for (.r-using) REBOL projects 
on Github.

chemists and physicists are both in science but do not use the same 
tools

Facebook is changing the groups, so probably the Rebol group will 
be archived or whatever Mark Zuckerberg wants.
So I copied all posts and the "weekly" emails in a blog:
http://rebol2.blogspot.com/
You'll find there almost anything. :-)

I've added support for REBOL to "ohcount", Ohloh's source code analysis 
tool. As of today, those patches are live on Ohloh, making REBOL 
a language recognised by Ohloh:

https://www.ohloh.net/languages/92

Let's hope projects previously on Ohloh will get reindexed soon.


From Ohloh's about page: "Ohloh is a free public directory of open 
source software and people. [..] Ohloh is a directory, [..], and 
an analytics service. We use the data from our directory to create 
historical reports about the changing demographics of the open source 
world."

Amersfoort is also the birthplace of painter Piet Mondriaan. As a 
result of that you can visit the Mondriaan House:

seriously, if you mean that you see funny stuff on the display, and 
you're using an analog connection to the monitor, try switching to 
DVI or HDMI (if that's one of the connectors on the computer). Just 
using an RGB to DVI convertor will might not do it since you still 
have part of the connection prone to interference

It's cheap and quick, so definitely worth trying.

A possible complicating factor is that the shared wall between the 
radio and my computer has a power outlet on it, and an ethernet cable 
goes from my computer into it and down under the house, so those 
two things are both pretty close to the radio.
But I'll try lining my computer case first.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Anton, can the radio run on battery and if so, does the interference 
disappear if the radio is unplugged from the powersocket?

Try the radio on a different wall socket .. the RF being generated 
by the PC may be leaking into the power.  Also if that doesn't work, 
get some ferrite beads from Dick Smiths and wrap them around cables 
inside the PC.

I've had similar issues, when the outlet was not grounded.  to fix 
the issue on that specific area, I built an AC extension which removed 
the ground from the grounded plug and it fixed it.... but obviously, 
you are running without explicit ground.  in Canada its not as big 
a deal since the neutral wire is also grounded, but it has to go 
through the panel, which isn't as effective has a decidated ground 
wire.

MS announced its .NET Gadgeteer toolkit for Electronics Hardware 
Fans. See this post to get more info and see a short video of the 
toolkit running a small mainboard with many other appliances boards 
attached to it. http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/onepercent/2011/08/microsoft-releases-toolkit-to.html

I've been using a new laptop for the past 24 hours, and it is the 
most  frustrating lump of hardware I've ever had the misfortune to 
use.


Why? There's an extra set of hotkeys on the keyboard exactly where 
your muscle memory expects ctrl and shift.


Even when partially disabled (they can't be fully disabled) I'm pressing 
a dead key half the time rather than the one I want.


It seems impossible that such a design survived any sort of usability 
testing.

And I am not alone.....

And in mainboards and in video cards

Sunanda... I've had my PC for 10 months, and I'm still not completely 
acustomed to the new keybord  :-(


some of the layout decisions are also quite dumb (like using half-size 
keys for the arrows... now how clueless can you be to think about 
that kind of nonsense?)

Maxim: Logitech keyboards are eternal and quite nice, standard and 
soft. Highly enjoyable.

Logitech Videocams and mice, too.

Logitech G15 G19 and other models also have a special small monochrome 
screen on them. Useful for some people.

There is a Windows and Linux drivers for this screen.

I don't understand, why Ctrl is moved down on modern keyboards. I 
always switch Ctrl and Caps Lock, because I use Ctrl a lot and don't 
like my hand twisted. It's much better to have Ctrl on the same line 
as A, S, D, F ..., like on the keyboards, I used a lot in the past 
(Acorn BBC, Amiga, Wyse terminals). I'm currious, what users modern 
keyboards are friendly for, they're not programmer friendly for sure.

I looked at the error msg: "Cannot connect to reb4me", clicked on 
Twitter_API_and_REBOL link, searched in the page for "reb4" and saw 
that the domain you were using was wrong. :-)

Sorted, and added a little note to the doc (as I said I would : )

I'll probably be in Maui at that time... maybe me and Reichart can 
say hello from skype.

And, it's a saturday so I think I could attand.

And if it's not to boring for people I could show the two commercial 
apps we have done so far.

Yep. The bigger conferences we do have much broader topics, such 
as Software Freedom Day and Document Freedom Day

Well, actually, the conference centre is built right next and connected 
to the church building

I was hit by time constraints I couldn't forsee and I'm not able 
to schedule away.

The other presentations will be filmed and made available afterwards

ah, collins and american heritage dict. nevermind then :)

Joost Geraets mentions ReBorCon twice: http://twitter.com/OpenNieuws/status/38667444453122048

We've been working with Karl to get the Boron OpenGL demo working, 
and it's now set up and smooth

We have a strong occurrence of the demo effect. The camera that we 
always use doesn't work, and the second camera we arranged isn't 
here
