Good coverage. One thing, the TOC and Intro links are reversed ...

Also a bit confusing is the pricing.  When you click the link it 
takes you to a lower price but when you click to preview the book 
it states another price (these are all listed in dollars).

Rebolers- You have probably noticed we are trying to get together 
for a Rebcon on 12/27/08 @ 12:00 PM PST. We have some checklists 
started for both presenters and those who will attend. We need to 
get a specific headcount if possible due to the nature of the tools 
we are proposing to use so please sign up as soon as you can. Thanks. 
James

12:00 PM : assuming that's midday (not midnight), then (if my sums 
are right) that's 20:00 UTC.
Can someone confirm, please?

Count me in

Sunanda, it seems to be correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone

Thanks

< QM > Version 0.3.9

Fixes a context issue with QuickTags (bug fix).  Minor change to 
the Cheyenne 'request/content' handling (bug fix).  And thanks to 
Ammon for giving it testdrive, helps greatly in sorting out priorities!

The anglicised source code of the book "Rebol - A programmer's guide" 
can now be downloaded from the book's page at http://auverlot.fr/index.php?perma=1224333460



It is quite possible that I may have introduced the odd bug during 
their translation. If you find any please let me know.

DevCon 2008 is about to start:
http://2008.rebolconf.info/

I am very pleased to announce that the printed version of "Rebol 
- A programmer's guide" is now available. The price is 25 Euros.Ê
The 
book can be purchased at http://www.lulu.com/content/5382304

It seems that Lulu.com has unfortunately recently increased its shipping 
charges especially to one or two countries. I have also heard that 
the shipping cost can be affected by the currency in which you buy 
the book. I believe that if you specify US Dollars to buy the book, 
it will be shipped from the US even if you live in Europe. It might 
be worth switching currencies if the shipping costs seems too high.

Is this the right place to announce commericial efforts?  Seem like 
Reichart is missing out on advertising fees.

Perhaps with the size of this forum, paid advertising would work 
against Peter.

uhm .... I would not put it that way ... still REBOL related and 
hence appreciated ... we should chat in ann-reply probably ...

(moving to Ann-Reply)

PeterWood, I had downloaded some single chapters and I liked what 
I read...

I'm going to order the printed version but I notice its black and 
white only? I was hoping the printed version would b ecolor but I 
guess that would increase costs...

Initial public version of REBOL BBCode implementation:

REBOL code

Started writing a RebolLexer for pygments.org

Good Job Oldes!

So the REBOL lexer for Pygments syntax highlighter is here
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/rebolLexer.py
Let's see if the Python guys will add it into the distribution.

Oldes : I'm sure they'll do if you tell them.

Oldes: you site is awesome, really.

I told them.. but.. I think that the Python community is not much 
communicative. At least from my short experience with Python.

Anyway.. now I recognized that I forgot to add the special REBOL 
notation for numbers like: 1'000.00

I will add it later. (I was never fun of these notations, but someone 
may use it)

I understand them, Rebol is the Python Killer :) (well but they don't 
know it yet anyway)

Janko: :)

Oldes: they've done it for other langages (superiror to Python too), 
like Haskell.

For those of you that want to go to a rock'n conference (in Long 
Beach, CA, next week)

clicking on the flikr link, I get "Not a valid email" 8)

flikr -> flickr

so, why does it offer to send an email??

I guess you are the third on the picture.. 8P

Hmmm, guess you guys should tell Yahoo/Fickr

Here is a direct link though - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3031/2309872444_844f7663cd.jpg?v=0

Oldes: cool.  Let us know if they don't add it and we can bombard 
them with requests

It's there http://dev.pocoo.org/projects/pygments/browser/pygments/lexers/other.py#L1626

I must say, that the Pygments is much more better designed then a 
Geshi syntax highlighter (PHP).

Oldes: so they finally accepted it ? Good news ! I suppose it's for 
R2 only ?

There is almost no difference in syntax between R2 and R3, but the 
predefined words are different (and getting moreso).

Brian... percent!

And range! ?

At this point just percent and the prefix being dropped from money, 
hence the "almost". No range.

Ive updated my old pastebin (sorry for its name) so that you can 
test Oldes's Pygment lexer (and you can have html,latex,svg,etc outputs) 
: http://clojurepastebin.appspot.com/

Brian, right, but that's enough to make R2 unable to load R3 files...

(when we started including VID3 in R3, we had to switch from using 
R2 for the build process to using R3 itself, just because of that.)

Right. Compatibility with R2 has never been a goal of R3.

Going to give a speech about Rebol in May/June at a university in 
Germany. Hopefully showing the potential to a lot of professors and 
students. Spread the word!

Oldes: code is there but it doesn't show up as an option in the pull 
down menu at pygments.org

Maybe it needs some time.
