I really like the blog look.

haha ... don't look too long, Max is going to change it!

  ; <--- this will get my SITE variable wrong, but look in it for 
usage

http://krutek.info/rebol/hardcode.zip- This is first version of 
Search'n'replace-kind of utility. Please, let me know what do you 
think about it.

some motivation for faster view. preview, installation is somewhat 
complicated, and the (few) texts  still german. http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/game/run.r

run the script. it needs some mb  sprites, which i get from another 
website. http://reinerstileset.4players.de/T_dino_green.zipand http://reinerstileset.4players.de/Tblue knight.zip 
.

when you run it, it makes a %sprites/ - folder in its dir. unzip 
the sprites in folders, %T_dino_green.zip in T_dino_green/ etc. and 
put these folders in the %sprites/-folder .

click "zum spiel" and avoid the dino.. (or, ctrl+cursor  swings sword 
:)

Rebolweek blog nice to see it there!!


I wonder why at the top it says May 15, when there are entries below 
it with newer dates? An error?

It says that because that is the date the original entry was created. 
 We created a few blank records and update them at the right week. 
I guess we should look at the template and remove that information.

A few announcements...


A simple to use progress indicator I use in my automation scripts...

The following is not well tested, so feedback is welcome. Its some 
tools for working with headers and allows you to disable http redirects...

If you have wrist issues from using the mouse, try Joystick Navigator 
(windows). No rebol inside, but it may help make more rebol software.

btw, I have a patch for sending html emails. Its pretty rough at 
this point, so contact me if you must have it.

Standalone VPRINT (verbose print)  implementation released on rebol.org. 
 This is the most advanced output/logging management utility for 
REBOL AFAIK.


features:  Extremely easy to setup and use (direct drop-in equivalent 
Print/Prin/probe/??  implemented ... even in logs :-),   hierarchical 
nesting of any output (tracing),  transparent logging,  on-the-fly 
selection of output,  "allow and deny"  any combination of individual 
tags to be output/logged ,   postponed output buffer for tight loops 
(not implemented for log). 

BSD license.


Instead of using pre-defined "levels" of verbosity, you associate 
individual print statements with (one or more) conceptual tags.  
Then you can programatically switch the desired output tags on the 
fly.  Effectively allowing only one function or a whole group of 
them to be displayed OR logged with one setup call when they are 
next encountered.    


The logging tag selections are independent from the console output 
so you can choose to display more or less of what you log out.  In 
fact, you can even log different output than what is printed.


This tool is not beta, it is being used in commercial environment. 
 It is very stable AFAIK and fully-featured.

New installement of "The REBOL Week" available.   A LOT happening, 
and a fresh new layout.   :-)

MySQL driver 1.0 released today. See http://www.softinnov.org/rebol/mysql.shtml

post wrongly again.

meant for REBOLWeek tracking.

Mailing List Archive tagging project has reached a major milestone:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-message.r?m=rmlWJKC

Get a parse tree result from Parse


http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/documentation.r?script=load-parse-tree.r


For fans of REBOL's Parse function, it could be particularly useful 
used with Gabriele's Rewrite function.

First public beta version of Sintezar PM-101, The Digital Phase Distortion 
Synthesizer has been released. See http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=pm-101.r
(please reply to Sound group, thanks).

First release of  COMLib-anton    (Benjamin Maggi's COMLib, reengineered)
http://home.wilddsl.net.au/anton/rebol/os/windows/COMLib/

It is my pleasure to announce, that Cyphre was contracted to bring 
what I regard latest limiting factor for RebGUI database experience 
- a grid. The grid should support following features - visible/non-visible 
columns, both vertical/horizontal scrolling, keyboard support, programmable 
navigation, tri-state columns sorting, possibility to put other styles 
in cells. Expect it being in the middle of capabilities of RebGUI 
table, and Henrik's grid. The grid should be also easily portable 
to VID. The license - BSD.


Other things Cyphre will look into with regards to Rebgui is, how 
to make RebGUI a bit more pretty, centralising other things or simply 
allowing gradients for tabs etc. That is subject to change.


On non RebGUI front, we should have better sys-tray support under 
Windows, probably via .dll ....

The time-frame is three weeks from today. Stay tuned!

Good news!

Anton...Incredible. Thanks for this.

Very good!   Also, if Cyphre can work with us on R2 update, we can 
add those systray features native.

(To prevent requirement of DLLfor systray  if possible.)

Yes, that would be great.

Fix for MySQL driver released today (v1.0.7):


 o Fixes a comptability issue in handshaking with new servers using 
 old passwords format.

See http://www.softinnov.org/rebol/mysql.shtml

That's amazing.  Thanks Dockimbel.

TOOLBAR version 0.0.3 released.


Toolbar is a new layout function for creating a MacOSX or Windows 
style toolbar for VID.

Cogitation.swf = 404 error

PAN-IMAGE version 0.0.1

http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/panimage/pan-image.r


This is just a face which allows panning of an image larger than 
the face, by dragging the mouse around on the image. Supports keyboard 
and scrollwheel.

USAGE: view layout [pan-image 300x300 <huge-image>]

Henrik, very cool and useful.

Client side QML Editor released: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=qml-ed.r

Just found this amazing Rebol application: do http://www.rebolution.net/ccsinogrammes.r
( http://www.rebolution.net/sinogrammes.html)

Sorry if you know it, I found it by accident and I really like it, 
just a shame, that the france chars are wrong with my czech regional 
settings (but the chinnese chars look good and the animations... 
really good work)

A UPnP pilot is on the library here : http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=upnp-igd.r


Run it and you will discover all your UPnP device on your lan if 
any (lan printer, internet gateway and other lan equipement). It 
will also list your port mapping on your internet gatway if any. 
To run it, if needed, open your firewall for UPnP connection.


The objective is to help anyone how wants to develope and run server 
on their PC with an automatic port mapping for incomming connection.


For example, if  AltMe embed this tool, running a world on my PC 
would be more simple as no more NAT configuration is needed to route 
incoming connnection.

Site http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/updated (Spider.r, REBOL 
identity article). Tried to post the info to the ML, but didn't succeed

can whole package be downloaded somehow? running spider.r yields 
you need lfunc, which is 'included, so you need 'include, then 'lfunc 
'includes other 4 funcs etc .... :-)

there is a zip file containing everything

(see index.html)

It's http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/rebol.zipunder 1.3 The 
contents of this site
Good work in documenting your articles.
Is there sample data to run for spider.r ?

try the one in the COMMENT

OTOH, it is possible to not download anything, just say: INCLUDE-PATH: 
union include-path [http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/] and everything 
will work
