| Graham 29-Dec-2008 [1466] | yes, it was a joke |
| PeterWood 29-Dec-2008 [1467x2] | I haven't got a physical copy of the book yet, they take a long time to get ot my part of the workd.. I have a copy of another booked printed by Lulu.com, the binding seems no different from most books oyu buy in a bookstore. Does anybody else have any experience with Lulu.com books? |
It might be worth looking at the economics of a pdf printed and bound locally versus a Lulu.com printed book and shipping charges. The only difference is that the pdf does not include the cover. (This is due to the production process). | |
| Henrik 29-Dec-2008 [1469x2] | I saw a German distributor who could make hardbacks from PDF files and even give them ISBN codes (perhaps Lulu does that too). I'll see if I can find some details on this soon. |
http://www.bod.de/index.php?id=200<-- ok, there is no English page, so it may not be useful to you. | |
| PeterWood 29-Dec-2008 [1471x2] | Thanks Henrik that would be good. You can get an ISBN from Lulu.com but at the cost of 50% of the purchase price of the book going to retailers. Unless you are going to sell tens of thousands of books, it isn't worth it from the author's point of view. |
Thanks Henrik. Google is my friend. | |
| Henrik 29-Dec-2008 [1473] | you're welcome |
| Graham 2-Feb-2009 [1474] | This is the reply group for announce |
| Will 2-Feb-2009 [1475] | too late.. 8) |
| PeterWood 2-Feb-2009 [1476] | I guess it tries to send an email because of the @ in the URL. |
| Reichart 2-Feb-2009 [1477] | I used the link at the top, odd... |
| PeterWood 2-Feb-2009 [1478x2] | Rebol seems happy to interpret it as a URL : >> type? http://www.flickr.com/photos/[11338642-:-N00]/2309872444/ == url! >> read http://www.flickr.com/photos/[11338642-:-N00]/2309872444/ == {<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> |
AltME seems to interpret it as an Email address. | |

| Reichart 3-Feb-2009 [1482] | Now I know what I will look like in about 10 years. The guy on "my" left is Aubrey de Grey. He is one of only several people who "get it" on this planet. So he truly is one in about 1 billion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_de_Grey The guy on my right is my friend Todd Huffman He is a computation biologist, and we are both co founders of www.BILConference.com One of his papers http://tinyurl.com/awq9tq I of course am now Santa. Of note, 12 hours after that photo was taken, I shaved my beard off completely on stage... Since people felt sorry for me, they went out and bout a bunch of beards, and everyone started wearing them... http://flickr.com/photos/quinn/2340803599/sizes/l/ |
| Pekr 3-Feb-2009 [1483] | antiaging, huh? :-) |
| Reichart 3-Feb-2009 [1484] | If you have to be anti something, aging seems like a good one, no? : ) |
| Pekr 3-Feb-2009 [1485] | Of course, I just wonder if biology might help here. The topic is rather deep ... |
| james_nak 3-Feb-2009 [1486] | So BIL is full. |
| Mchean 3-Feb-2009 [1487x2] | hmm seems so, but maybe you can get on the wait list |
any plans to broadcast BIL like they do TED? | |
| Reichart 3-Feb-2009 [1489] | 4 Media services will be broadcasting BIL. James, Michael, don't worry, just come on down and find me, tell them I told you to come. Pekr, yup, deep, that is why we need more of the 6 billion people on this planet to help : ) |
| Mchean 3-Feb-2009 [1490] | thx Reichart, if i make it down their I'll ask for you. |
| james_nak 4-Feb-2009 [1491] | Thanks Reichart. |
| Reichart 5-Feb-2009 [1492] | http://bilconference.pbwiki.com/ We have a bunch of cool speakers, and a bunch of TED speakers of walking from TED (where it is $6K) over to BIL to give talks LOL |
| Mchean 5-Feb-2009 [1493] | that is very cool |

| BrianH 6-Feb-2009 [1495] | (sorry, that was in the wrong group) |
| Anton 18-Feb-2009 [1496] | Oldes, about ImageMagick interface, nice to know. I looked quickly at the code and I advise not to make structs inside the address? function etc. because it's quite slow compared to reusing an existing struct. (I tested this a few years ago when I was making fmod interface and needed speed.) |
| PeterWood 18-Feb-2009 [1497] | Thanks from all of us, Oldes |
| Gregg 24-Feb-2009 [1498] | I finally took a few minutes to look at it Oldes, but it can't load the DLL here. What version of REBOL and IM did you test under? |
| Oldes 24-Feb-2009 [1499x2] | I was using ImageMagick 6.4.7 2008-12-12 Q16 I will try the latest one here http://www.imagemagick.org/www/binary-releases.html#windows Not tested on linux yet. |
Yes.. working with the latest one as well (with REBOL 2.7.6.3.1) | |
| Gregg 24-Feb-2009 [1501x4] | Interesting. I wonder why ot won't load the DLL here. I'm on x64, which may be an element worth considering, though the emulation layer works well for most things. |
why *it* won't load... | |
It works on another x64 machine, so it's really strange that it doesn't on my main machine. I'll try to figure it out. In the meantime, nice work Oldes! | |
Aha! It took writing that to make me think of something else. I have DEP turned on here. Turning it off solves the problem. I'm not sure why, but it's something to make note of fot future reference. | |
| Oldes 24-Feb-2009 [1505] | what is DEP? |
| BrianH 24-Feb-2009 [1506] | Data Exection Protection, a way to mark memory pages as data, not code. If you try to run code in these pages it stops you. Any code that requires DEP to be turned off to work is insecure. |
| Graham 7-Mar-2009 [1507] | Is there a demo of what liquid can do when it's boiling? |
| Maxim 7-Mar-2009 [1508] | yep... all done, simple but gives an initial idea. I am just finishing the module download requestors part and it will be online in very short time. (under an hour) |
| jocko 7-Mar-2009 [1509] | I'm interested too! Very interesting work, Maxim ! |
| Maxim 7-Mar-2009 [1510] | the demo is very simple for now... but I will make an extension for it within the day, which shows just how linear an application can grow, and how little backwards maintenance is needed when adding new features. |
| Graham 7-Mar-2009 [1511] | how many 1000s of nodes in your demo? |
| Maxim 7-Mar-2009 [1512] | this is a very small example... the point is to show how to use it. its nothing graphical. you'll see. there are probably about 20 nodes allocated which interconnect a gui, with fields labels and buttons. the nice thing is that data is bound to type and range, and all interconnections obey the data. |
| Graham 7-Mar-2009 [1513] | i was just kidding |
| Maxim 7-Mar-2009 [1514x2] | so without even needing to built an INT field, you get one for free, if its linked to an INT enforcing liquid node :-) |
I have grown elixir to 6000 nodes. and it was still reacting in real time with less than 100 of ram useage... most of which is gfx data from the AGG gui. | |
