World: r3wp

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.

'tweet function for posting to Twitter: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/tweet.html

Usage:


 do/args http://www.ross-gill.com/r/tweet.r[... keys/secrets per 
 settings ...]
	tweet "Status Update"


You can either do/args, or download the script and modify the header. 
 Caveat: you'll need the Application Key/Secret (obtained from the 
Twitter Dev Site) and the User Key/Secret (you'd have to do the handshake 
to get these, see my %twitter.r page: http://www.ross-gill.com/page/Twitter_API_and_REBOL).


Use at your own risk, you would not want to share any of the keys/secrets.

Upgraded R3 on http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nlto A107

Looks like we need to remove that "Loading boot extensions..." line?

That wouldn't hurt :)

Coming Friday I will be presenting two talks on Software Freedom 
Day 2010 at the CWI in Amsterdam, the Centre for Mathematics and 
Computer Science, where Python was created:

http://www.softwarefreedomday.eu

One presentation will be about Boron and how it relates to REBOL. 
I will demonstrate building a website with Boron on the Cheyenne 
server:

http://www.softwarefreedomday.eu/2010/Kaj-de-Vos-Boron-programming-language-2010.html

The other talk is about the system that I will be using for the presentations: 
a graphical development version of Syllable Server running the ROX 
Desktop, which is written in Python:

http://www.softwarefreedomday.eu/2010/Kaj-de-Vos-Syllable-Server-ROX-Desktop-2010.html

really cool... will these be available as vids after?

Yep

nice!

Max, you understand spoken Dutch?

no, it says presentations will be in english

Mine, double yep

Specially for you :-)

Kaj, how did the Syllable conference go on September 4th? Will there 
by any videos posted?

Replying in Syllable group

particle generator online.


built for fun and as a reference for anyone to implement his own 
.... its on rebol.org.  have fun hacking/improving it.

run script:

looks like grayscale soap bubbles!

when scaled yeah.  but when far & animated and especially when you 
adjust the opacity to be just right wrt rate, its not that bad.

animation makes a big difference

new version on-line.  with better flames and a few more options (like 
auto-saving the setup on exit and allowing you to remove particle 
generators, by ctrl-clicking on them)


the default setup is also much better, and leverages the better flames.

That is really cool!

thanks!  


to you and everyone else who takes the time to run it, it makes the 
time spent building it worth a little  :-)

nice !

I upgraded http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nlto the latest version 
of my CMS

It doesn't really affect the site yet, but there's an extra year 
of development in there

I've published my Boron presentation from Software Freedom Day:

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl/Boron

It demonstrates building a dynamic website with the presentation 
on Cheyenne, so there are also a Cheyenne demonstration and a small 
CMS and presentation program in there

Very cool, Kaj.

Don't know if you followed the Rebol StackOverflow page, if you want 
to put in any word edgewise about Boron let me know and I'll edit 
it as appropriate: http://stackoverflow.com/tags/rebol/info

I still feel it's possible to do much better in terms of an interactive 
deployment for Rebol tutoring... but the work on telling an open 
source story for Rebol is even more important than that quibble.

I'll leave it to the community to spread the word further - and to 
develop a robot teacher :-)

I modified http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nlto offer Boron for 
testing instead of ORCA

I've also updated and extended the documentation selection a bit

Bas de Lange is organising ReBorCon 2011 - The Church of REBOL

This is a conference for REBOL & Boron, in the same venue as the 
Syllable conferences, a church

http://web.syllable.org/news/2010-09-26-17-20-REBOL-Boron-Conference-2011.html

The scale of the event will depend on interest, so please step forward 
if you want to come and if you want to give a presentation

If we get enough international visitors, we'll call it a DevCon

I've opened a ReBorCon 2011 group to discuss this

Is it in a Cathedral?

Everything is small in the Netherlands, so we hardly have any of 
those. But please use the dedicated group

http://www.rebol.net/wiki/INCLUDE_documentationupdated, mentioning 
the usage of the INCLUDE-LOG  variable


http://www.rebol.org/art-display-article.r?article=w24vupdated as 
well

both R2 and R3

One more update to
