I was tempted to announce the 512th post to Announce :)

I need some advice on what lotto numbers to purchase

 ... any and all above 31. You won't increase your odds of winning, 
 just the likely payout if you do win (i.e. many people pick numbers 
 based on birthdays) ;)

My wife asked me to pick some numbers some years ago for her lotto 
... I said 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 as being as likely a set of numbers as 
any other.  Of course she decided against it, and sure enough a good 
set of these particular numbers came in :(

regarding my autofile utility ... the GUI seems to stop responding 
after a while .. some bugs to be sorted out I guess.

I once saw a blurb on the tube; if you take weekly lotto money and 
invest it faithfully;  after 30 years or so, you can call all your 
friends and yell "Hey, I just won 50 grand!"

Doc would be nice to see your NTLM module applied to enable other 
applications to be proxyaware such as acting on a layer as a port 
fowarder could possibly allow ALTME to have MS proxy capabilities?

I already have a NTLM proxy built on UniServe that could do the job, 
but for AltME, to be able to pass a MS Proxy, it has to first, use 
HTTP as transport layer (IIRC it's not using HTTP currently ?).

I don't think that MS Proxy is limited to HTTP traffic.

Granted to get thru most corporate configurations though they probably 
only ALLOW the FTP and HTTP traffic

It's not, but most of the time (at least, here in France), corporates 
allow only HTTP/HTTPs traffic (and sometimes FTP).

Did you ever get a KERBEROS solution going?

Nope, never looked closely at Kerberos because I never seen it used 
here.

Henrik, I've got 404 on http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/files/html-dialect/docs/html-dialect.html

It's the documentation link, looks like it should be it should be 
http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/html-dialect/docs/html-dialect.html

rebolek, try reloading the download page. the links are working here.

Don't work for me, either

Sounds like it only works locally for you

very interesting

I doublechecked on a different machine. No problems.

It must be the fragmentation of the web proclaimed a few years ago

:-)

Henrik, the "documentation" link on this page - http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/files/303a60cc3d66c8c4c23bc5a2106ef63a-118.html
- goes to .../rebol/files/html-dialect/... and I've got 404,

but the documentation link on this page - http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/page0/page0.html
- goes to .../rebol/html-dialect/... and works.

Hope it's going to be readable in AltMe... :/

Hm, it isn't :)
Copy and paste it somewhere else to get full text :)

oh, I see. I guess that's the punishment for using relative links. 
oh well.

Rapidweaver also has a bug in the template. It does not display the 
logo in the upper right hand corner.

Graham, can you point me to his dialect?

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/retools/remark/index.html

it looks to me as if he's creating some form of pseudo XML tags. 
my dialect looks like any other rebol code (yes, I care a lot about 
the appearance of the dialect), and I think his goal is more to be 
for template, where my dialect is not meant for templates at all. 
My goal is to describe webpages in as little code as possible in 
100% REBOL style.

Perhaps your dialect is similar then to the goals of Andrew's one?

it looks more like it, but it's still requiring far more typing than 
mine does.

for example, table layouts are a dialect on its own to describe the 
layout of a single row and then repeat that, where his uses a more 
rigid html-like structure.

and my dialect can be very terse with a table description. given 
that 'data is a block of objects, all I have to write is:

table table-style rows data


and then it renders the table with each object as one row. 'table-style 
would be a css class.

I guess ultimately it depends on what saves the most typing while 
allowing the greatest flexibility.

oops ...abusing this group

BrettH: I wasn't aware of the specific fact that Lulu.com won't deliver 
to some addresses. I'm afraid I don't have a solution as publishing 
through Lulu.com seems to be the only way that the book can be economically 
published (in paper).

Re: Google Charts API -- there's not much finesse to it, just looks 
nicer than the ugly API:

	view layout [
		image chart [
			size: 150x40
			type: 'sparkline
			data: [45 55 38 35 37 58 59 64 60]
			color: black
			area: [color solid 255.255.255.204]
		]
	]

There's definitely room for improvement and consolidating features...

Cool stuff.

Chris, I get an error...
connecting to: chart.apis.google.com

** Access Error: Cannot open /c/documents and settings/brock/application

I'm using View 2.6.3.  I simply did...

>> do http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=charts-api.r
then pasted your example.  Any suggestions?

; I think you need to save it first from the library, or can you:


do http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=charts-api.r

My bad, I guess you can : )  I haven't tested it on 2.6.3, only 2.7.6

It looks like a problem with 'load-image in that Rebol version.  
Try changing the -- image chart [ -- line to -- image load chart 
[

Or on that platform, I tested on OS X.  It saves the file in the 
cache with the full query string on it...

Thanks Chris, I'll give it a check later and report back.

Your "Instant Gratification" view example worked

The results of the search engine at Lulu.com don't always show all 
of the chapters of Rebol -programmer's guide. The chapter  that have 
previously been released are:

  Chapter 1 - Discover Rebol in an Hour (Êhttp://www.lulu.com/content/2092020
  )

 Chapter 2 - The Rebol Language (Êhttp://www.lulu.com/content/2160570
 )Ê

 Chapter 3 - GUI, graphics and sound (Êhttp://www.lulu.com/content/2175653
 )

 Chapter 4 - Networking and the Internet (Êhttp://www.lulu.com/content/2160633
 )

 Chapter 5 - Rebol for Pros (Êhttp://www.lulu.com/content/2845102
 )

How many chapters to go?

Good work, BTW!
