Oldes, did http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.phpget attacked?

Probably just another PHP vulnerability

I was hoping maybe an updated version was coming!

Forget PHP and user REBOL - it's not vulnerable because hardly anyone 
even knows it exists ... :)

security via obscurity

Yep - I feel quite safe :)

I don't think this is what's supposed to be at http://box.lebeda.ws/

When I hacked up the TryRebol thing someone typed in an infinite 
loop or something.  So I moved it to http://freebol.org/private/carl/tryrebol/

But I imagine the infinite loop was testing and not malice.

Nick, if you get hacked... you can just log on to altme and ask... 
"who did it?"   ;-)

I watch the web server log go by, random hacking attempts for software 
I don't have installed.  Anyone could just type in a random url, 
look at the debugging output, find that (for instance) and bring 
down the server.  But it seems no hackers are interested in doing 
so.  :)

Nick, it's exactly what's supposed to be there :) It's a personal 
server and has no main page. There's only a picture that cahnges 
from time to time.

Yes... and I don't have admin rights to this server... the admin 
changed something in conf. and now the rewrite_mod is not working.

It's not attacked.

Oldes, do you want a different host for it?  I've got a shared host 
account you could use, and rebolflash.com is available.  Gimme the 
word and I'll set it up :)

I've got a pagenest downloaded copy of the site contents that would 
make it fairly easy to reconstruct the site, if you have any problems...

I have another site where I can host it, but not so much time to 
move it now.

Oldes, the machinarium seems to be quite well known. I do hope you 
people have plans for wider distribution and/or sequel. For example 
it's been recently mentioned on PlayStation EU-blog comments, as 
an comparision basis for other indie games.


See message #4 on http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/01/19/monsters-probably-stole-my-princess/#comments

Machinarium called a beautiful program in Verity Stob article:

[page 4, last paragraph]

...But not liked quite as much by Microsoft:

Oldes, are you available for potential contract work in REBOL/flash? 
 I'd like to build a videoconference app to connect with my Flash 
Media Server.

Unfortunately at this moment I don't have much free time available. 
It depends when you would like it to happen.

Whenever your schedule clears a bit, please let me know.  I've already 
got working applications which I use commercially (slightly tweaked 
versions of source that my FMS host provided).  I can use those apps 
until you're available, but I would much prefer to have everything 
written and editable in REBOL/Flash dialect.  If it's ok with you, 
I'll likely want to release the applications as open source. I think 
a useful videoconference application written in REBOL would be a 
"killer app" that might bring some attention to REBOL (and REBOL/flash 
:)  I'll be waiting eagerly...

Oldes, are you in fact playing with moving Flash stuff to HTML5? 
 Or even to some combo of HTML+JavaScript?
I know a compny looking to get their products moved over.

I don't think so. Why should I? I want to stay far away from the 
crossbrowser hell. Or is it already safe? Also I don't know if I 
have something where I could use it now.

I don't have much time for my /flash dialect itself. And there is 
still many things to improve.

Why should I
 


Crossbrowser hell is indeed hell, but it could be very profitable, 
and you are sitting on a lot of it already.  

But, just asking...

I just don't understand what it shoud do. A form builder or what? 
What's so great on HTML5?

The hype!

to me... mainly canvas & video built-in

Oldes, there is nothing "great" about anything out there................... 
the question is, what is anyone willing to work on?

and pay for. ;-)

http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/03/html5_apps.html

maybe we should start HTML5 group, shouldn't we?

agree

OF course...

Althogh, perhaps HTML Dialect would be the same thing?

What's the purpose? General chat about HTML5, as a new wave of de-facto 
standard for app development, or REBOL-2-HTML5 compiler? :-)

Reichart, no the HTML Dialect is a product.

I just realized the HTML group has vanished... or was made private 
and I'm not in it.

I see it's not marked as such.

Anyone here using FlashDevelop with AS3 spark components?

I don't think so. Me not. We are now solving, hot get running subset 
of Flash 8 (AS2 bytecode) to get our game on Wii so AS3 is really 
in a far future.

I am just waiting for a friend at Adobe to send me latest Flash Pro 
by Snail mail via Toronto ( imagine if mail between west Euro capitals 
were as  slow as mail form USA mid-west to eastern Canada ... - where 
are the Thurin-Taxis ?? )

I usually amazed at how fast the mail works...at least around here

I suppose  the dialect grammer has changed?

The site is outdated for a long time... I had not time to make any 
docs and don't have it now as well.. I hope I will have some this 
year :/
But you I can build the above example with this version:

00100005417269616C000002007F09220000000200680011300000B4000D...

Also there is a pretty high chance that the old site will expire 
in a near future. I will create a new one, but at this moment I'm 
busy to finish Wii version of Machinarium which means I must put 
360MB of the original game to the Nintendo's 40MB limit. I'm still 
6MB over at this moment.

And also the version of the RSWF from the link above is not the actual 
one as I have several forks at this moment. But the above should 
be the most compatible with the old examples.
