World: r3wp

very annoying when I'm sending emails to myself. :-)

I just installed altme on ubuntu, but I don't get to see messages. 
Screen of all groups, except rebolweek, are empty.

Are you getting older messages in this group now?

Ok, if I post a message, then all the messages come up. Isn't there 
a way to sync everythting in one go?

That has been the way to do it for many years...

Ah!

It's worse on big worlds

Had no clue. That's interesting.

It's a bug, of course

Thanks, Kaj!

sometimes it helps to logout and back in again a few times

ok, will do, Henrik, thanks!

had the same problem with using different computers with the same 
account. One computer would not upload all the messages...both windows 
XP

Graham;  What brand of VMWare are you running.  i.e. did you but 
it?

VMWare = VMware  but = buy.

using vmware server ... free

Anyone knows if rebol will run on the maemo OS as used by the Nokia 
N800 internet tablet? It is a debian-based linux derivation, so chances 
it will run.

no

I think this is in the faq

Really?

no, jk

but I've seen this question asked a few times now

Too bad, looks like a sweet device to me

just wait for R3 ... coming "soon"

I haven't been following R3 development so closely, but are you saying 
that we will be able to compile R3 from source on linux?

No, but they claim they will be able to port much more quickly

I 'd be foolish to cling to that, I'm still waiting the palm version...

it was promised for a long long time, then Carl said something like 
it was not feasible

memory constraints

Fact is there's python, scheme and a beautiful lua runtime

On the palm I mean

pehaps we need to ask him again re R3

but the PDA market is a shrinking one ...

it's all phones these days ..

Maybe, but Carl is so busy, and I don't think it's a priority for 
him

Exactly.

The nice thing about the Nokia is that it's not a pda, it's something 
really new, and for geeks it's a dream machine, it's just plain linux

Natural choices to program onboard is C or python

But you could try to compile different open source languages on it 
too

If you want linux in your pocket, it's either Sharp Zaurus or now 
the N800

don't you have to import the Zaurus from Japan as well?

Yes, and it's discontinued as well, so that leaves us with N800 pretty 
much unchallenged

Hook it up with a  bluetooth keyboard and you code as you please 
on the go

well I guess it's wait for the iphone to open up

Yeah, but the iphone is more expensive, and the screen is much smaller, 
i've been waiting for something like the N800, but that's me

the problem is the processor, otherwise core would run fine i guess. 
not that easy for view though, i think maemo doesn't use X, you need 
to use the GTK.

I'd be very happy with core to begin with :)

True, some people are complaining the device is uderpowered. Flash 
video will not play smoothly in fullscreen, apparently. I don't know 
if the comparison is valid, but the chip is a 330 MhZ ARM while that 
one of the five years old (?) Palm T3 was a 440MHZ ARM processor.

Maemo does use X11, but it's otherwise all stripped down. LibXAW 
is in there, too, so REBOL2 wouldn't be hard to port, either

when i checked their docs a year ago or so, they did only mention 
GTK in their porting guide. if they run X, then I agree, View should 
be easy to port.
