Hey Reichart, a little bit of photoshop and you'll become our new 
Santa claus ;-)

The proof : http://picasaweb.google.fr/lh/photo/t9rl6p0f5pwouWbdXLOMUg?authkey=AoDanuwCxPo&feat=directlink

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/

antiaging, huh? :-)

If you have to be anti something, aging seems like a good one, no? 
 : )

Of course, I just wonder if biology might help here. The topic is 
rather deep ...

So BIL is full.

hmm seems so, but maybe you can get on the wait list

any plans to broadcast BIL like they do TED?

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 : )

thx Reichart, if i make it down their I'll ask for you.

Thanks Reichart.

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

that is very cool

(sorry, that was in the wrong group)

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.)

Thanks from all of us, Oldes

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?

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)

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.

what is DEP?

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.

Is there a demo of what liquid can do when it's boiling?

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)

I'm interested too! Very interesting work, Maxim !

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.

how many 1000s of nodes in your demo?

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.

i was just kidding

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.

100 of ram ?

100MB of RAM

ok, I'll be back in an hour :)

and to speed up the refresh... the real solution is to make the window 
smaller  :-(   which is great to show off liquid, but examplifies 
slow R2 gfx engine

I'm almost done... with the little demo.

wait 59:00

hahahha

Time's up MAx ;-)

hehe

its all there, ready to try out   :-D

Oops just seen the announcment - 30 mins ahead of schedule.

Great stuff!!

and I even have a new version with 3 added labels, which are linked 
to the abilities displaying the dice modifier of the ability.


Its all linked up dynamically with the rest, without a single line 
of code edited, only NEW lines of code.  and only a few of them at 
that

3:49 am completion time in Montreal.  I guess the kids kept you busy 
during the day, and you got on a roll during the night.  Good stuff 
Max.

Can't wait till this afternoon when I will actually have time to 
play with it.

Congratulations, Robert
