I've backordered it..hehe 8))

For the record,  REBOL.net and REBOL.org both look good for the next 
three years.


But a useful reminder for all of us to check our domains before it's 
too late.

And not to lose the email address to which the registrar sends reminders.....Email 
may be dead, but it's heart hasn't stopped beating yet.

you guys have to have pure services in US then?

In CZ, we have NIC - central registrant, which does not accept any 
registrations and is only coordinator and State has its xy % of value 
there. We have to choose between various certified registrant companies. 
I did choose globe.cz and they are fine. They do care, they pay to 
NIC.cz and then they request money from me. Before the domain expires, 
I am notified, if I have nothing agains payment of next period and 
if there is any info I want to change ...

I have also unified portal, where I can see all my domains (actually 
something as 7 or 8), I can change MX, DNS entries, FTP, hostings, 
etc. etc.

huh, did not try rebol.com untill now, that is really a bad for RT 
to forget to renew domain ;-)

shouldn't anyone in US give RT a call to notify them?

Bo already did

Well, at least some refreshing new look after so long time :-))

I had to wait a week or more with my domain lapsed before networksolutions 
gave it up and allowed me to register it again with new registrar

they seemed somewhat reluctant to respond to my request to transfer 
to registrar while it was active

If you saw the original whois entry. it actually said it was expiring 
in 2006.

perhaps someone was messing with their internal clocks at Network 
Solutions ?

REBOL.com back up.

Steve, here you can download my contribution to the Spreadsheet Contest:
http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/cyphres.sht
(hope I win :-))

Help, Help, its a runaway spreadsheet!

VERY COOL, Cyphre.  That is way-out-of-the-box.

better than any Amiga screen hacks that I can remember...

however, functionality is an important critieria in the contest...so 
everyone knows the competition is still open...I have seen a calendar, 
some web stats, etc that have been done thus far...

Nice Cyphre.  Imaging what it could do with AGG. The first vector 
graphic spreadsheets

blocks
 of data ? ;-)

eFishAnt, where is this spreadsheet contest described?

my scrollable 300000 cell table face might be easy to adapt...  ;-)

Brian, trim works in-situ

battery-file: to-file join battery-dir [ battery "state" ]

seems incorrect

copy value to end (trim value)


I always have problems with these types of statements in real world 
data, cause if 'value becomes none, then 'trim will throw a wobbly

all [value trim value]

Oh I see what you're talking about. Yes, nice article, Brian. :) 
That must be very helpful documentation for beginners.

Thanks. From a beginner, for beginners :-)

Graham - What is a better way to create the battery-file filename?

Maxim: Spreadsheet  and/or Announce....just make a spreadsheet for 
nano-sheets.r from article, and winner gets $50 prize.

Brian, my first take on this was that [ battery ... ] would not be 
evaluated , but I see it is.

I think if I were to rewrite I would use 'rejoin instead.


Still, it's sort of a marker of my knowledge right now. I want to 
let it simmer for a bit before I go in and start trouching it up.

well, if you did this

battery-file: join battery-dir join battery "state"

you wouldn't need the 'to-file

Actually, I don't think I need 'to-file in the first place.

also, likewise with rejoin [ battery-dir battery "state" ]

Okay, i went ahead and changed "to-file join ..." to "rejoin [ ..."


Also threw in a little check for zero bit in calculating remaining 
time.

It'll go up in the next upload of the site.

I think sound is now free in the free versions.

sound and call both are, aren't they? I'm not sure, so I just wanted 
to start with what I knew from rebol.com and the reboltalk forum

not sure about 'call ...

RT should certainly get around to mentioning that these run on Windows 
XP, and not just 2000

'call is available from View 1.2.11, but I don't know if it's not 
just for beta-testing, and if it will be free in next official version

and if you want 'call from core, you need r/command.

this page should give you that overview : http://www.rebol.com/purchase.html

I wonder if that upgrade price from View/Pro to SDK is correct.  
The price for View/Pro used to be $49, and perhaps they didn't reduce 
the upgrade price when they increased the price to $99...

odd pricing ... View/Pro ( $99) + upgrade to SDK ($199) = $298 + 
upgrade to command/sdk ($199) = $497

but start from Command ($349) + upgrade to command/sdk ($199) = $548

Looks like you're penalised if you start from R/Command.
