D extension: DLL doing virtually nothing (ie. return 4 fixed values) 
of size 200KB its "cool" seems D needs some optimalization in exporting 
things IMO. Similar library compiled under TCC was about 2KB (the 
test dll from example by Carl)

Yes, that's because the D runtime is required which does a lot like 
GC etc.

The DLL is only  a demonstrator as I wrote to show how to do it. 
Nothing more.

200 KB is very small for such a runtime. I suppose it can also be 
linked dynamically?

I'm not sure, haven't checked yet. But the linker only includes what 
the app / DLL uses, so the dynamic version would be bigger.

Since a couple of days I'm in close contact with Carl discussing 
how we can help to move R3 forward.

And, how to best deal with the community so everyone can see that 
things move on.

The rebol3 twitter acount will be used for update and progress postings. 
So, if you want to know what's up follow it.

So, I will be ghost-twittering there too.

So, Socialite App is you?

Yes.

http://jira.rebolsource.net:8080 now has an open source license from 
Atlassian.  I have sufficient capactity to add your open source project 
if you want to use this tracker.

Installed the greenhopper plugin to allow one to use a scrum project 
template

I published our test-framework code, which we are going to use for 
all our developments to: www.rm-asset.com

No GUI testing support yet, but this is coming next. We are adding 
GUI testing support right from the start to our R3-GUI library.

wow Robert that's quite a rebol staff you have

I have pubished  a beta version of a simple decimal arithmetic library 
for R2 called money.r


It can be found at http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=money.r

New website ( http://policywatch.org.au) generated 100% from my 
new HTML/CSS/JS/jQuery markup language ... MML (Meta Markup Language). 
More details to follow once the election is over! ;)

Are you standing??

Ashley: that site looks very clean and light in positive way.


Maxim: cool front page and menus (I got 404 on clicks, i suppose 
that is not yet done). Who makes such cool graphics

MML? This is a rebol dialect?

I'd really like to see more about MML Ashley.

AltJSON 0.2.2 - Warning: adds behaviour designed to tame large integers 
and potentially breaks existing serialisation of issue!

Please let me know of any problems.

Congratulations to Nick for the 1000th script published on REBOL.org

line 39. a missing "  after pass

Thanks sqlab - it's fixed :)

S3 access turned R2 protocol: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/s3.html
- and a version using Graham's adapted HTTP protocol: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/s3http.r

Crud, brief synopsis:

	write s3://<bucket>/my-file.txt "My File"

 write/custom/binary s3://<bucket>/my-png.png read/binary %my-png.png 
 [read]
	editor s3://<bucket>/my-file.txt
	layout [image load s3://<bucket>/my-png.png]

Requires AWS key and secret.

CR - where's the UD ?

That's the other crud.  U is the same as R on S3 (as near as I can 
tell) and D is a little way off.

Brief article on parse vs. regex for pattern matching.  Includes 
script for matching urls in plain text, and one for overlaying a 
text face with links (adapted from, I think, Allen K's work): http://www.ross-gill.com/page/Beyond_Regular_Expressions

Almost there: Twitter API client using OAuth (Basic Auth is being 
turned off).  Only thing I can't get working is signing a POST request 
with a body (which sucks for sending updates):

	http://www.ross-gill.com/page/Twitter_API_and_REBOL


I've tried using my rest:// protocol and the currently published 
version uses Graham's HTTP modifications (regular HTTP does not work 
as you can't use custom headers with a GET request).


Aside from that, the GET requests work, as does the authorization 
process.  Any observations welcome.

Precise timing for R2 using kernel32.dll functions on Windows

http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=windows-chrono.r


there is a 'TIME-LAPSE function, and a 'CRONO-TIME function.   the 
later isn't completely aligned with the NOW function (a few milliseconds 
off IIRC), but it is very precise from one call to the next.


some might also find the 'i64-TO-FLOAT function (and related i64-struct) 
usefull for converting 64bit integers (stored as structs of two integers) 
into decimal! values.


many window functions use 8 byte long unions (64 bits) as arguments 
for return values and they are very complicated to use because REBOL 
only supports signed ints.  this makes it much easier to implement 
routines for those functions.

Max, maybe you can update the script so that it looks in the system 
directory for kernel32.dll - i.e. %systemroor%/system32

systemroot is the environment variable for the windows directory

systemroot, I meant

as it is, the loading of the dll failed for me

what OS version?

win 7 64 bit - but systemroot is common to all

the script resolved the directory for kernel32.dll to the directory 
of the rebol executable

probably since the system32 isn't in the paths of the 64 win7

and with the system32 it worked?

I mean with your suggestion... it worked?

how would I get the value of  %systemroot% ... it doesn't seem to 
be valid within a rebol path.

(lets move to ann-reply)

windows-chrono.r updated on rebol.org with better windows dll path 
resolution and bug fixes

Added markers to my Google Charts script: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/google-charts.r

I feel like the addition is a bit messy, so ymmv.

	chart [data: [1 2 3 4]] ; basic usage
	chart [
		size: 200x200
		data: [
			[10 30 50 70 90]
			[30 40 50 60 70]
			[70 60 50 40 30]
			[90 70 50 30 10]
		]
		offset: 0
		markers: [
			financial 0.0.204 0 1x-1 20
		]
	]

If you use it, let me know how it goes.
