The handshake is a multi-step process to get a user's credentials: 
request a temporary token, send the user to the site, user comes 
back and enters a code, request a permanent token.
Graham:

A more generic implementation may be a protocol that wraps around

On Windows, yes. You will get varying results on anything. It's a 
non-real-time multitasking thing.
AdrianS:
24-Aug-2010
sure, I would expect some variation, but this seems a bit large
AdrianS:
24-Aug-2010
anyhow, this should be averaged over thousands of executions to get 
a more accurate value
BrianH:
24-Aug-2010
Anything that requires traditional I/O (not OpenGL or DirectX) will 
have a lot of variation on Windows. Video games use timers and delays 
to get consistent behavior.

adrian, its up to you to put a loop in the block.
Maxim:
24-Aug-2010
but, you can get a feel for relative speeds.... sine, on my system 
takes a little over 0.000015 seconds on average.  when I run the 
timer with a loop of 100000 It takes about 1.5 seconds... so the 
resolution of the timer is factual.

It does a lot of little conversions to drill it down to the URL,

happen)
Kaj:

Oh wait, this one is different. That would have happened if there

Radial Fill-pens....that's what I was working with. did not get too 
far
Maxim:
17-Sep-2010
for fire not much, a part that its a bit softer... though I am now 
trying to change the shape of the fill and cirlce so its a vertical 
ellipsis.. this should hel make the flames more or less lines..
Maxim:
18-Sep-2010
I'm about to upload a new version... flame quality is really better 
and the default setup is really neet.
Gregg:
18-Sep-2010
Great stuff Max. It saves the setup, but doesn't seem to reapply 
it on startup. Is that correct? I had a good looking smoke and flame 
I wanted to share, but then closed the app again. Setting the smoke 
life to a smaller value greatly reduces the "bubble" effect and makes 
it look *really* nice.


The Smoke Darkness slider doesn't seem to initialize to the correct 
value. e.g. move it slightly and the smoke color changes dramatically 
the first time.
Gregg:
27-Sep-2010
Thanks for updating INCLUDE Ladislav! I use it a lot, and this will 
give me more reason to try some things under R3.
ChristianE:
29-Sep-2010
Thanks, Petr, you're feedback is appreciated! Just some comments: 
Yes, I was thinking *ports*, too, but with R3, the not yet available 
*devices* will be an even better way to go. The API with open-* and 
close-* isn't really nice but it's not yet set in stone, no way. 
Definitely I'll compile to a DLL, too, that's just a matter of time.
Maxim:
29-Sep-2010
Christian... compiling to a db, requires two lines of text to change 
in you C code, and a change in compiler so that it compiles as a 
dll instead of an exe.   really. it takes 15 minutes to change (I 
did so as a test with one extension I was using to try out the new 
interface)
Maxim:
29-Sep-2010
on top of it, you won't have to play around with updating your host 
itself each time a new release is done.   The host itself which is 
subject to change very often right now.
ChristianE:
29-Sep-2010
These two lines, Max, should be somet #define REB_EXT and a RXI_LIB 
RL  declaration, but that doesn't get me too far. This "15 minute 
 change" is going to cost me hours ;-) And the funny thing is that 
I had it working as a DLL first with A102/A103 and then changed to 
embedded extension. Now I don't find my way back ...
Maxim:
29-Sep-2010
looking at it now... there are a few changes... but look at this 
code by Andreas, and it should get you up and running within minutes... 
basically copy/paste all the appropriate stuff and change what is 
specific to your code.

https://gist.github.com/0677266b8511d83ce76a
ChristianE:
29-Sep-2010
That's what I was doing, the comiler still is complaining about missing 
stuff. Will have a look into this tomorrow.
Maxim:
29-Sep-2010
note that you cannot use the hostkit API directly, only the extension 
API.


what I did was a separate host-kit like header which creates defines 
for the functions I needed.  I added a platform #ifdef, so that it 
will automatically adapt to new platforms if I try to port it.
Andreas:
29-Sep-2010
This also adds a target to the makefile, that allows buidling the 
external dll via `make ../lib/ext-odbc.dll`.
ChristianE:
29-Sep-2010
Andreas, this is great! I'll apply the changes tomorrow evening since 
I'm not a my dev pc now, and put the DLL on the page for others to 
download and play it..
Graham:
30-Sep-2010
Perhaps you could write a small tutorial on how to create extension 
and dll while it's fresh in your mind :)
Maxim:
5-Oct-2010
auto-tagging is also flexible, especially when you use the parent 
modes.  this automatically adds tags to your note based on the parent 
it is in.
this is done even when its grouped later.  


I will be adding a "get all children" command so that it can be used 
in macros. (add/remove tags to a whole group)
Maxim:
5-Oct-2010
I also plan on adding other export modes, one being for make-doc 
 it would allow us to edit data and look at it via make-doc strings 
in a single click.
Cyphre:

Maxim, the exe doesn't work for me either. I'm gettingsomethinglike 
"There was an error during execution" or so in a Windows message 
box. Win XP here.
Maxim:
25-Oct-2010
ok.... this is going to take a few minutes... since I have to update 
the release mode so it has the same setup as the debug mode.
Maxim:
25-Oct-2010
I am unable to get the external dll working when doing a Release 
level build.  it compiles without any errors... 


but when running the same script which is working in debug mode, 
I get this  error in the console:


** access error: cannot open: %opengl-cgr.dll reason: "not found 
or not valid"

very strange
Maxim:

Henrik:
25-Oct-2010
OK, now I get an error that I don't have HW acceleration in virtual 
box, so I guess that's a good sign. :-)
Andreas:
25-Oct-2010
For those interested in a quick overview of the changes in the hostkit, 
here's a diff between CGR-A109 and RT-A109:
https://gist.github.com/9d6d0330b88d6d5419b1
Maxim:
26-Oct-2010
Andreas thanks for that.... 


that is exactly why I spent a day re-organizing my code base so that 
the host and the CGR system are now almost separate.  

its now very easy to see what little changes are required for CGRs 
to work.  


though a few tweaks in the host would make CGRs a bit faster and 
simple to use.
Maxim:
26-Oct-2010
one note is that a few of the changes are in fact just added documentation 
in the host, which is scarce at best.


I think it would be nice that as people work on and study the host 
files, more documentation be added, if only to improve its understanding.


many of the view files use short variable names which is ok, but 
the sense of what and most especially *why* things are being done 
is currently very
obscure and I can see it being hard to maintain in the long run.


when you look at all the box region math, sometimes being done more 
than once on the same values, its very hard to positively identify 
what is being calculated and why it even needs to be done at that 
point in the various functions.


when I look at the code, there are many very similar ops being done, 
and it might be that some of that should be reshaped into more re-usable 
code.  maybe if only as multi-line macros, to keep it fast.
Maxim:
26-Oct-2010
christian, if you can send me the full trace of the app it might 
help me track the problem...  either mail it to me or just dump it 
to me privately in altme.


I think its a problem with how VC is optimisizing things to be parralelized 
by SSD type instructions.


on my system its not crashing exactly at the same place but within 
the same source file.  seeing a pattern might help me corner it.
Cyphre:
26-Oct-2010
Maxim, the demo crashes for me right when it attempts to open a window..I 
tried it also with the torus.r3d dataset so there must be some other 
problem.
Maxim:
26-Oct-2010
I've had that too, but changing the optimizing on Release mode, I 
have just about the same issue as Christian.


in debug mode I've *never* had a crash yet. even on very small or 
huge datasets.


so AFAICT its a dreary compiler issue, and the worst of it is that 
I can't debug it, cause it *only* crashes when I'm not in Debug.
Maxim:
26-Oct-2010
at this point I've cornered it to the host-tools array code which 
is basically just a loop over the host-code.  so its possible that 
the way the core dll was compiled is part of the problem.


I'll try to compile the A107 version in Release mode.. maybe it was 
built using different switches.
Maxim:
26-Oct-2010
on window open or after a ->> / <-- trace line?
Henrik:
27-Oct-2010
also when first showing the window, the view area is only in about 
the upper left quarter of the window. a resize solves this.
Maxim:
27-Oct-2010
and yes it is strange that it works now and didn't work before!  
I didn't change any of OpenGL code, though I had a serious memory 
corruption issue, so its possible that on your system, that translated 
to some bogus system call.

Apollo 1.4.1 released: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/apollo.zip

Fixed a problem with the buttons for missions with a lot of pictures. 
Unpack the zip and start apollo.r. The indexes for Apollo 7-17 missions 
doing the years 1968-1972 will be created. The script loadthumbs.r 
can be used to download all thumbnail pictures, so the apollo.r script 
will run faster. Run loadthumbs.r after the indexes have been created 
by apollo.r. (Thumbs are around 30MB!)

NicomDoc 2.1.0: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/nicomdoc/

Added an alternate way to construct tables. Instead of the need for 
=row and =cell commands, a table can just be lines (each line is 
a row) and on each line, cells are separated by one or more tabs. 
Docs with lots of tables will shrink considerable in number of lines 
needed. The Math specification (http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdoc/math.txt) 
went from 3000 to just below 700 lines this way.

liquidator, teaser  here is a quick snapshot of the culmination of 
years of work, finally coming together.


using the same (evolving and improving) core engine as the regraph 
tech demo, I am now attacking the IDE for dataflow application development. 
 FINALLY.  Also note that this is built over liquid which is a full 
featured, lazy computing, dynamically reconfigurable dataflow engine. 
 also note that all internals of the nodes (processing and gui views) 
are built using liquid itself, so it will be possible to apply your 
own connections within the internals of the application itself ! 

Expect first working demos within a few weeks.


First picture out of the lab:  this is basically a generic "Add" 
node being instanced 4 times, note that each plug can stick out at 
any angle and that the node type label is already neatly aligned 
in the center of the node's core at the center.

REMARK HAS NOW FINALLY BEEN RELEASED ON THE STEEL WEB SITE


REMARK is a robust web site building tool which allows you to construct 
your own custom tags using rebol values and dialecting.

The main difference of remark with other tools of its kind, is that 
the web pages do not contain code, they contain data or parameters 
to your custom tags.  Remark also persistently reparses tags until 
no more custom tags exist in the dialected tags you create. this 
means you can actually build up your pages with custom which use 
custom tags themselves... talk about leverage! 


at version 1.3.5 it support multiple site configs, ftp dumping, site 
specific configuration, and the very flexible remark engine itself. 


Creating tags is trivial and for simple templating, you don't even 
need to know how to code in rebol... just html content within stored 
files can be nested within your site's pages and will be included, 
by simply adding a tag which is called like the stored html.


Using differently named source file extensions you can even decide 
to parse the content differently, so that you can create different 
page templates or one can even decide to create a make-doc handler 
for example (its not included by default, just possible if you need 
it).


you can check-out the FULL documentation, including tutorial, example 
site, reference page and guides on adding new tags and templates.

Introducing QuarterMaster: Yet Another Web Framework that I'm probably 
going to have to take time to document properly: http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/


In short, it is designed around the MVC pattern.  It is open source 
(license tbd).  Tries to be lightweight, but could use some work. 
 Tries to be as thin a wrapper to Rebol (/Core, /Base, whatever) 
while providing key functions for creating web sites/applications. 
 Includes a flat-file dbms out the box, which generally works.  Currently 
coded to work with Apache (needs mod-rewrite and 'request-uri' env 
variable), but should eventually be httpd agnostic.  Please try, 
please test.  I will answer all and every question (within reason). 
 All suggestions considered with an open mind...

I created a new project in Qtask called "IT Think Tank"
The goal is to invite people that like fiddling with Servers.

I realized that I know a lot of people that do this, and they all 
have the same issues, so they might as well share knowledge.


If you would like to be invited to this project, shoot me a private 
message.


The advantage of a group here on Qtask over - lets say - some forum 
on the web is:


-	Knowing each other, or being only one degree of separation tends 
to mean one feels more comfortable asking deeper questions.

-	Being more than a Forum, people can share files, build Qwikis of 
common issues, etc.
-	The people I know tend to be a "click above."

After much consideration, we've decided provide a dual license for 
Redwerks technologies similar to MySQL's licensing policy..  

If you are developing and distributing open source applications under 
the GPL License, then you are free to use Redwerks Inc. software 
under the GPL License


For OEMs, ISVs, and VARs who distribute Redwerks with their products, 
and do not license and distribute their source code under the GPL, 
Redwerks Inc. provides a flexible OEM Commercial License.


The dual - license will apply to the following Redwerks Inc.  technologies

Eco  - Our Semantic Network DBMS
Framewerks- our website creation middleware built on Eco
LFReD - our natual language intelligent agent

Hokus Pokus!

This is a little fun script, I'm working on, that actually may be 
useful for someone. It can change something into something else. 
First version could transform bitset! back to it's original string!, 
then I added conversion between issue! and tuple!. Now it can also 
translate between many human languages, like in this example:

>> do http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebol/hokus-pokus.r
>> hokus-pokus/translate "Hello, how are you?" "en2es"
== "ÀHola, c—mo eres?"


Using the /translate refinement, and the extra argument can be any 
of:
ar2en

, "zh2en", "zh-CN2zh-TW", "zh-TW2zh-CN", "en2ar", "en2zh-CN", "en2zh-TW", 
"en2fr", "en2de", "en2it", "en2ja", "en2ko", "en2pt", "en2ru", "en2es", 
"fr2en", "fr2de", "de2en", "de2fr", "it2en", "ja2en", "ko2en", "pt2en", 
"ru2en", "es2en"

translating between languages like Arabic, English, Chinese, French, 
German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. 
 Yeah, it's a real Transmogrifier. Have fun!

(It may be hard to type in many of these languages with current REBOL, 
I don't know! :-))

String based Rebol Code colorizer --> http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/code-colorizer.r
using it, Rebol source can look like:
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/code-colorizer.html
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/rswf-main-rules.html
or http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/rswf-main-rules-full-code.html


There is still a lot of things to improve, but it's already quite 
useful.

(at least it does not  suffer with recursion parse limits which I 
reached with good old Carl's %color-code.r script)

Wait a minute. Let me rephrase that:



REBOL3.0 Alpha 1 for Windows is out

You can download it here:


http://www.rebol.net/builds/rebol3/alpha/rebol29904031.zip


Carl has made a blog entry about it here:


http://www.rebol.com/article/0347.html


  Please note that this is alpha software and represents a work in 
  progress! Be nice to the developers. There's no support for you yet, 
  but it will come later. Now play with it and be good.

From Announce
TimW: any chance for a linux alpha?

Anton: Not at this time. The Windows version runs well in Wine, though.


I may have the version wrong...not at home.  You need Wine 9.14? 
 or greater - released from winehq a few months ago or  REBOL wait 
 will not function properly, pretty much hosing VID.  It was a timer 
call bug in Wine that's been fixed.  It was not an R3 problem, but 
Wine.

My database NicomDB, created with my friend Martin Nyberg, is going 
open source under GPL license. The plan is to release the source 
a little at a time, so we can make sure, everything is working with 
as many versions of REBOL as possible incl. the coming R3. For now, 
my original thesis for an education, I ended some years ago, is available 
at:

http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdb/thesis.pdf


It describes much of the unique concepts of this relational database.

I'm confident, we talk weeks, not months. The first part of the code 
probably in days. From experience, I know, time estimates on software 
projects are very hard to do, but in this case, all the old code 
is there, I would just like to review it, test and optimize a little 
before release.

Geomol,

Just read your NicomDB thesis and thought it was well done.  Just 
a quick note about a mis-spelling on page 36 toward the bottom.

If we think back to the four basic operations on a data record, they 
are Read, White, Rewrite and Delete.
I think you mean "Write" instead of "White".

REBOL postscript dialect version 0.4.2 is out, BSD license.
http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r

Documentation here: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.html
Added PageSize with support for A4, A5 and US Letter for now.
Added images. Example of use:

do http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r

write %palms.ps postscript [DeviceRGB page [translate 100x400 scale 
72x72 image http://www.rebol.com/view/palms.jpg]]


The file palms.ps is now a PostScript file describing a page with 
an image on. Try view or print it.

REBOL PostScript dialect v. 0.4.3 released.
http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.r

Doc: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.html

Added decimal! option for size in TEXT alignment. Moved TRANSFORM 
up front in PAGE, so it's possible to let a transform work on a whole 
page instead of just a PATH. Added description of COMMENT to doc.

In March 2007, Olivier Auverlot published his second major book on 
ÒREBOL Ð Guide du programmeurÓ.  Written in his native French the 
book has been well received, not least by Carl Sassenrath:  ÒYes, 
Olivier has done it again with another good book on REBOL.Ó



Olivier and I have been working on an English translation, "REBOL 
- a programmer's guide" for a little while now. The book will eventually 
be published in both printed and electronic form on lulu.com. The 
prices are likely to be Euro 25.00 for the printed edition and Euro 
16.99 for the portable document format version (pdf) version. (For 
those of you outside the Euro zone, Lulu also provides prices in 
Pounds Sterling and US Dollars.)


  As the translation is likely to take some time to complete, we are 
  providing exclusive previews of each chapter for those who don't 
  want to wait until the whole book has been translated. The previews 
  will only be available until the complete book is ready. Each chapter 
  will be published as a pdf once it is available and will cost Euro 
  2.99.


  The first chapter "Discover Rebol in an hour" is a hands-on introduction 
  to Rebol for programmers following the development of an automated 
  File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. It covers many facets of this 
  highly productive language. It is available today at http://www.lulu.com/content/2092020



The next three chapters, "The Rebol Language", "GUI, graphics and 
sound" and "Networking and the Internet" will be available within 
the next few days.


  Olivier is the author of the book; I am the author of any mistakes 
  that have crept in during the translation.

Chapter 2 of  "Rebol - a programmer's guide" is a thorough grounding 
in the basics of the language covering variables, datatypes, lists, 
control structures, functions, objects, parsing and dialects.


The preview is now available at http://www.lulu.com/content/2160570

Chapter 4 of  "Rebol - a programmer's guide" describes Rebol's advanced 
network programming features. Using TCP/IP protocols (including client/server 
programming), creating network protocols, CGI scripts, producing 
dynamic web documents, handling XML documents, using Web Services 
and the Rebol//View browser plug-in are all explained.

The preview is now available at
