World: r3wp

I can start multiple Rebol instances with the same script. I think 
that multiplexing to some 100 ports per instance should be ok,  no? 
I can open connections first, then start sending data ....

Petr, iperf is the de facto tool for this. We use it in the Detective 
as well

ok, thanks guys, looks good. I am just studying command-line options 
...

I have my rebol multi-server, hopefully it would work, but I would 
need to think of how to do calculations :-)

I posted two REBOL puzzles recently not receiving any response. Just 
interested to know why, since I don't think they are really hard.

(are they?)

I thought the questions were a little unclear.

but now that I reread I understand.

Just busy here (haven't even been on this world for a while). I think 
the abstract/guru-level stuff attracts a much smaller crowd than 
the "write the fastest code" kind of challenge. Maybe it's the competetive 
nature versus deep thinking and problem solving.

or just that must of us dont have the proper knowledge to compete 
  ;-)

I made a code snippet checklist. I thought it might be handy, rather 
than pasting miles of code inside the groups.

good idea!

And

maybe you should add the author in the title?

I finally got Opera to download and run on my PC.  I find it very 
nice, but SLOW.

I like the thumbnail view of all sites by default on the "new tab." 
 Since I'm new to it, and a few of you around here already know - 
what are teh top best features about it?

If I were to do the same for FF it would:

- Fast
- Same interface on all the platforms I use
- Firebug (killer debugging tool)
- Getting better every day

firebug IS awesome.

I like Opera's MAgic Wand (auto fills in Password).  I need to feel 
it in more examples.  But it seems cool.

Opera is slow?! From my experience Way faster on older computers 
(1 GHz, Windows XP) than Firefox.
If Win98 - older version is better.

I have intermittent problems with Opera. Sometimes it takes a very 
long time to display a page.

When  it works, it is fine; when it is sulking like that, it is a 
total pain. There is some inconclusive discussion in their support 
forum, and they never replied to my feedback/bug notification.

It seems to be connected to JavaScript heavy sites.

But ther is no quesiton, FF is faster than Opera on everything I'm 
testing, including Yahoo.

R.  We now have great Rebol spell checking code available ... how 
about we have it soon for Altme?

G, ~ I'll pull people off what they are working on for you ASAP…~

Thanks .. but it was for you.  I can spell :)

Graham, don't you mean "Thanks COMMA but it was for you."?

the ellipsis was for theatrical effect

Graham did not claim to be also good at grammar. :)

Reichart: <It seems to be connected to JavaScript heavy sites.> I've 
seen the problem on non/low JS sites --  though I don't know if the 
problem was triggered by hitting an earlier JS infestation.

I plan to keep running Opera on a regular bases.  I think there are 
more features than I'm seeing so far, but in a nutshell:


-	Separate Universe: Having a "another" browser is a good way of 
keeping things sepeate.  For example I might use Opera for my Qtask 
test accounts, and for checking up on some "grouping" of sites, since 
Opera is good at opening multiple tabs at start up (although it should 
stagger them since this is one of the speed hits).


-	Cache: It seems to auto pull a page it decides is the last version. 
 I'm not sure how it decides this yet.  But if I figure it out, this 
is a cool feature.


-	Magic wand: Great feature.  It should have its OWN password.  In 
other words.  Andy, Billy, and Carry, all use the same computer. 
 There are a lot of families that do this. IT would be nice to group 
your log ins to the same sites (AB and C all have separate Yahoo 
account, and separate Amazon accounts).  So they can basically Log 
in first with Opera, then go to town.  Even better would be an online 
service for this.  Can't wait for Identity 2.0.


-	Overview:  Opera has this cool feature of showing you a 3x3 grid 
of thumbnails of you fav sites.  This is cool.  So cool I want to 
see if there is a plug in for FF for this too.-

reichart, i have seen a FF extension that does that, but i didn't 
try it (so i don't remember the name either)

I will track it down.

Reichart Opera is almost my only browser.  I find it very fast.  
Some sites (such as HP's PC sales) don't display correctly.  Voice 
is a very cool feature, though right now its just a novelty for me. 
 I think the tabl implementation is the best i've seen (and it was 
there long before foxfire and ie)

oh and skinning!  -- i'm using the tango skinning and it is very 
agreeable

oh and the new quick-dial is cool

the irc client is passable, the news reader is good, though i prefer 
using a separate rss reader.  exporting bookmarks and moving them 
to another computer is easy.

on a related topic, does anyone know of a browser that can preserve 
its environment between machines?  I would like to continue browsing 
where I left off at work at home

it would be cool to have the option to save the session somewhere 
online and then open it on another pc

reichart the best FF extension for that if ShowCase

why my code not work ? 


REBOL [ title: "hook Mouse" ]


user32: load/library %user32.dll

Kernel32: load/library %Kernel32.dll

; const

WH_MOUSE:  7
mouseHook: 0



GetCurrentThreadId:  make routine! [

  return: [integer!] ] Kernel32 "GetCurrentThreadId"



SetWindowsHookExW:  make routine! [  

 idHook [integer!]
 lpfn [callback! [int int  int return: [int]]]
 hmod [integer!]
 dwThreadId [integer!]
 return: [integer!] ] user32 "SetWindowsHookExA"



MouseProc: func [  code  wParam  lParam ] [ print code   ]



hThreadId: GetCurrentThreadId

SetWindowsHookExW WH_MOUSE  :mouseProc 0 hThreadId

halt

try to use lpfn [callback [int int  int return: [int]]]

but i'm not sure what it should do

Mchean, what is the "table feauture?"  
Joe, thanks for ShowCase.

I haven't used callbacks in REBOL, but that might work. SetWindowsHookEx 
expect a pointer to a C func, which a REBOL func is not, so that 
won't work.


Low level integration with the OS is not REBOL's strong suit. There 
is a lot you *can* do, but also a lot you can't.

sorry Reichart mistyped "tab"
