strange... FF just isn't picking it up  :-(  (FF2.0)

My Ice Weasel shows it...

But favicon.ico is really hard to 'get out' of the cache.  You gotta 
find it and delete it.

My cache updated immediately -- perhaps cos local time crossed midnight?

Maxim: do you have any extension installed that are meant to handle 
favicons? Maybe they are duff.

nope

will clear the cache, just to see.

yep... that did it.

Just tried it with Ice Ape, no favicon...something in mozilla sharing. 
 Gonna try
Konqueror.

Nice.  I like the new one.

did you try clearing the cache?

Yep.  Got the new one with Ice Weasel...still no luck with Ice Ape, 
but that is all
my problem.  rebol.org is 'fault free' on this one  :)

To get new icon in IE7, I had to clear all caches and then restart 
IE.
Other browsers where simple and intuitive.

if you don't want to clear all cache, just get the icon using direct 
url as for example http://www.rebol.com/favicon.icoand reload it

Sunanda, there is IconSushi as well (thanks Scot)

I use http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/

http://www.towofu.net/soft/e-aicon.php

FF is able to display even animated 16x16 gifs  - http://www.czech.cz/favicon.gif
(using <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.gif" />)

Seems like a scary direction to take favicons...

Hope it doesn't catch on...

Me too!

I can see a new preference...disable animated favicon.  I'm surprised 
it was a mozilla
coder that would have thought up this little distraction.

It can be done from the config menu:
about:config
image.animation_mode ====> none
Easier with Opera: just F12 and the option is on the quick menu

First time I saw an animated favicon was today.  Thanks for the shutoff 
advice.

That would have driven me nuts.  Saved from insanity by Sunanda.

Posted docs to the last of the Anonymous scripts.  Starting the  
none  list. Do I change the Author to Anonymous and the version to 
1.0.0 for these scripts, or just leave the headers alone?

oops.  last message to wrong group.  don't read it  :)

On that note; does anyone have any requests for types of documentation 
for the library?  Are the usage docs of enough use?  Tweaks?  Thanks 
in advance.  Seriously though. I'd rather know at document 40 than 
at 400.  :)

I haven't had time to review your recent handiwork, and may not until 
after next week. If you don't get any response, ping again here as 
a reminder, and thanks for all your hard work Brian.

Gregg; It turns out the 'hard' part of the work is learning enough 
REBOL to describe it to others.  More fun than work and I may be 
getting more out than I'm putting in.  :)

Agreed Brian.

RE the discussion back in May about improving the Library's display 
of scripts when colorized.....

We've adopted Geomol's color scheme for the live Library.....Thanks. 
John. It looks great!

:-)

For everybody...no more mucking with date formatting...  Use Chris' 
%form-date.r from the library.

form-date now/precise "%c"  full REBOL timestamps nicely formatted. 
 "%s" added for seconds with nanosecond precision.  (Precision...not 
accuracy)  All your dates and times can line up now.  :)

Redirected from I'm new...javascript time


Integer date and times are a problem without some real mucking about.

Graham;  I just did a search, Gregg posted date-to-epoch in the DZone 
snippets. Along with epoch-to-date.  Looks like standard run of the 
mill world class Gregg code.  :)

Sorry.  Slight misread, seconds and milliseconds... What? I'm only 
out by 3 orders of magnitude.  :)

Close enough for jazz :-)

lol

I liked this one from Dave Mills NTP RFC1305...
There will exist an 200-picosecond interval,

henceforth ignored, every 136 years when the 64-bit field will be 
zero
and thus considered invalid.

And, of course, if you use UNIX date format [seconds from 1-jan-1970], 
you have to politely pretend the dozen or so leap seconds inserted 
since then do not exist.

If you are a member of this Altme world, then you may also have been 
a member of its predeccessors: REBOL World and REBOL2 world.

There is now a private archive of those worlds on REBOL.org:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/aga-index.r


However, you will only see them if your REBOL.org membership profile 
says you were a member -- they were *private* worlds, so we cannot 
make the posts publicly available.

If you were a member of either world and want access to the archive, 
please just ask -- just let me know your World user name and your 
REBOL.org member name.

Let's look at bit closer at the REBOL header block and licenses. 
In the library (http://www.rebol.org), REBOL scripts have a library 
entry in the header, and it contains a field named "license" with 
about 10 different possibilities. Is it enough to specify the license 
like that, or do we have to put a license text and/or warranty in 
the header of our scripts? Not just in the library but in general. 
Does anyone know, or should we ask an attorney?

I'd like to see this as a system/standard/script field.  For rebol.org 
there could be helper forms with some common choices but I'd also 
like to see it support url! in the submission validator (although 
that may have longevity problems).


Would system/standard/script/Rights, /License and /Disclaimer (or 
Warranty) cover all the legalese?

There is big problem with rebol.org library if you are using different 
than ascii chars. I've just submited a script which contains latin2 
chars and it's not uploaded correctly as there were converted to 
utf8 (so the script will not be working correctly as the chars are 
used in parse.

I will try to upload the script directly (not from webform to see 
it it's deformed as well)

no.. it's not working:(

the script is correct for download http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=code-colorizer.r
but not for display.

I've added encoding: 'cp1252 into header... it's up to rebol.org 
now to use such an info and convert such a script into utf8 before 
displaying it in html

Thanks Oldes.

Part of the problem is that all pages served from REBOL.org are served 
as
   charset=utf-8
even if a specific needs a different charset.
We need to make that more flexible :-)

How many people use the Desktop Librarian?   If not, why?  If so, 
how?


And if the answer to the first question is more than 1, who would 
be up for a documented experiment in REBOL/Agile team development? 
 It would be starting from a 60%ish completed RebGUI app with big 
big plans (and a potential complete rewrite to fit with a could-be-soon 
Revault).  There are definite and defineable 'pieces' involved.


R2 mind.  See; I dropped the ball a few months back and need a reason 
slash motivation to restart as rebol.org is too valuable a resource 
to not.  :)

If what I know about Agile is anywhere near close, we'd also need 
a "customer" or two.  To be open, honest and critical.   But those 
individuals, while having an idea of what they want to see, can't 
really be exisiting Library Team members ... I don't think.  Any 
Library Team members not involved in dev, would be the "management"
