CodeGear Ruby IDE is almost done. http://grabtherail.com/
It's called 3rd Rail, watch the video here http://video.codegear.com/3rdRail/TourOfTheIDE/TourOfTheIDE.html
Remember the mac guy pc guy commercial? there is a java guy and ruby 
guy video. it's so funny http://www.grabtherail.com/ImRuby.html
We probably should make a commercials like this.
Hello I REBOL
 "and I am Ruby" ... 
Making funny video is one of the good ways to get noticed.

Graham, cool thing. I'm seeking for something like this being based 
on Debian.
Anyone know if this exists?

I got classified as a bot when I tried the asirra test :(
Interestingly they plan to use geolocation services to show animals 
that are close to you in case you get tempted and want to adopt one 
of the animals.

Robert, not sure if you want a Virtual Debian or a Host Debian, but 
check this small page.  Note: I've not  tried any virtualization 
myself.  Live dangerously and practice unprotected computing.  :)

So it seems North Americans have to rely on Europe to reign in Microsoft. 
 Thanks Europe, well done.

Yep,  I hope this ruling puts the kibosh on the possiblity of hardware 
manufacturers being forced to sign non-disclosure agreements if they 
want drivers to function on Windows with DRM.  GNU/Linux would quickly 
start to lose out if that happens en masse.  Today is a good news 
day in my biased and perhaps  naive opinion.

I wondered...so that's what they get for donating 35 coders... a 
little bit of press and some branding.  :)

far, I don't like it.

Henrik, you're right. And not just that, the performance is not good, 
because of Java. The download size is 150MB, and the installation 
size is 300+ MB. Why does IBM make everything dull and huge? We should 
make an Rebol Office, I mean it. After REBOL/View system has been 
improved in R3, this is not impossible.

This seems interesting...  Lina Software released the source code 
for LINA under the GPL v2. LINA enables Linux binaries to run with 
native look and feel on Windows, Mac, and Linux, without recompiling.

Interesting comparison of Open Office Writer and Microsoft Word 2007 
- http://www.linux.com/feature/118986


I thought Writer couldn't be compared to Word, but now I try to download 
Open Office to judge myself ....

WebRunner -

WebRunner is a simple XULRunner based browser that hosts web applications 
without the normal web browser user interface. WebRunner is based 
on a concept called Site Specific Browsers (SSB). An SSB is an application 
with an embedded browser designed to work exclusively with a single 
web application.

So the interface is all html and java script (traditional tools, 
AJAX too) and rebol is used on the server.
