great , congratulations!!

Thx. Mom and son come home in 5 days. So trying to sleep as much 
as possible now :-))

is it your first child?

No, 2nd

aha, I was totally crazy when I came home from first child.. had 
no idea what to do.. I am not sure how it will be with second :)

Great news Robert. Congratulations  .. and there is no such thing 
as "enough sleep".

congratulations!

Congratulations Robert!

No, the best group for this is the "births & deaths" group.

... damn on the day of my death i will have to post on this group^:P

is there a "I'm in heaven with angels group" too ?

Thanks a lot to all of you.

Maybe a "baby born" group really makes sense...

rebol babies  (like they do for movie productions)

Working on a R2 virtual piano/synth with sheet music display etc. 
 Currently reads in a song+timings and has the ability to play and 
write in Windows/etc RIFF/wav format.
http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/synth2.rfor those interested.

nice looking program

Synth 0.0.3 released.
http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/synth2.r

0.0.3	lots of bugfixes
	added safety error trap to play-song

 added ability to put chords inside song block as a block [C4 [C4 
 E4 G4] [E4 G4] G4...]

 please note that this still uses a single entry in the timing block
	sheet music now displays chords
	added multi-channel support (really 1 or 2 channels atm)
	8bit and 16bit sound added 
	added a new song to show chords/multi-note in operation

You should have it highlight each note in yellow as it is playing. 
 It will give it a bit of an interactive feel.

Rather yellow glow around the note.  I didn't mean make the note 
yellow.

it will eventually - just working on the mechanics first

Can't reach hte site. Down?

site was probably doing nightly server update

synth updated.
0.0.4	added bars into song format for better readability
	totally rewrote multi-note handling

 fixed endian issue with 16bit samples - 16bit chords still sound 
 horrible..
	added progress indicator when building songs
	added status info on sample size / play time
	added more note symbols to cater for different timings and rests

timing out here

sigh.. i need to find a new host (free) mustard is too unreliable 
:(

what about rebol.org ?

free sites don't always cut the mustard

Announcements only - use Ann-reply to chat [web-public]

Site Assistant, which is fully made in REBOL, has been released as 
public beta. This means you can all sign-up (for free) and try it 
 -- and report me the bugs :)

I am trying to get the core system stable and tested, features will 
still be added. S-A frontend runs on Cheyenne, and backend bots are 
also written in REBOL.

You can sign up now.

Should be "sign in"


Its so hard to catch all those little typos without others eyes...


I'm going to try it out, Janko. I'll give you any  feed back I come 
up with.

( I will reply in Ann-Reply )

Got an RSP error when I tried to change the global setting for expiration 
notification from 5 to 10 days. I had no groups added yet so that 
might be part of it.

yet another Parse-related text; a corrected version of my older article: 
http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Parse_versus_RE

I have published the string encoding utlilties that I wrote for rebol.org 
in the script library. They no doubt pale in comparison to those 
Gabriele has written but may help until his are finally released 
for publication.


The script package includes a minimal set of unit tests and some 
rudimentary documentation.

http://www.rebol.org/documentation.r?script=str-enc-utils.r

yep, its probably going into mod_remark  :-)

Identity, Bindology and Parse versus RE articles


the above articles have been revamped and moved to: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Identity
, http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Bindology, http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Parse_versus_RE
. When checking, do not forget to read and comment the http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Decimals-64#Rounding
section in DevBase.

The Include function (see http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/#section-4.1
) has a couple of improvements:


*introduction of Include-supporting comments (faster, than Comment), 
that can be either "stripped off" by Include or kept, depending on 
the KEEP-COMMENTS variable (if the variable is defined, comments 
are kept, otherwise they are stripped off)

*support of embedded scripts as described in http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-5.html#section-2

http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#INCLUDE- my contribution 
to the discussion

Janko: give it a look, I would be surprised, if it didn't suit user's 
needs better than PREREBOL or DO

From experience I can agree to Lad's statement. It's really a very 
useful INCLUDE, especially if combined with the SDK.

http://www.rebol.net/wiki/INCLUDE_documentation

I will look at it .. but I don't know much about this yet .. I haven't 
yet used PREREBOL  and I use do in only the basic way

I looked at the docs and it seems really cool ..

http://www.fm.vslib.cz/~ladislav/rebol/include.r: error reporting 
made more comfortable

INCLUDE is very nice. What I think it still missing from the wiki 
are cons about the lower level alternatives with regard to higher 
level "standards". e.g. with LOAD and custom scripts you can do anything, 
sure, but there is no standard model, so each system is ad hoc.

right you are, don't you want to add your idea to the discussion? 
(you are good at formulating things,  better than I am)

I added point #8 to http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#General_Needs, 
I suppose that is what you mean

I'll try to make time to give it some more thought and update the 
wiki.

Another rebol + cheyenne website : http://www.qwikitxt.com/


I am cheating a little this time since it reuses most of qwikitodo 
:)  ... I have made a screencast for the lazy ones to see the features 
a little deeper inside.. :  http://www.screencast.com/t/yRUawmvIB
