Re: Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

2010-05-14 Thread Robert Mann

Jacqueline, let me take a precise example.. i'took a license for sygodact.
It's an old CGI stack. So I had to install an old runrev engine in the
CGI folder. It would be simpler if the new on-rev engine accepted stacks
like the old one : 

- It would make it easier for you to promote Zygodact. It would allow
revIgniter to sell his what seems (not yet digged into it enough) great
framework. And Andre Garzia to promote a nice tutorial about the basic of
CMS. And thus creating a kind of market because others might like/want to
produce nice tools... that would in the end make it easier for the whole lot
to produce more things. I do beleive that sharing things here and there and
selling libraries at a reasonnable friendly price is a great benefit for
all of us potentially.

- Lastly, if I go and see a potential client, and promote the on-rev server
technology offering to build their site. I'd rather leave on their server my
work as a protected stack rather than a bunch of .irev files, with which I'm
happy on my personnal on-rev sand box server.

Until then on-rev will only be useful for developpers themselves or their
hosted clients sites. It smells a little bit closed shop. I personnaly
would hesitate as a client to be locked in 100%.

Unless you present it no more as site building and hosting but as a
communication on the web service like Rodéo.. !

But I beleive that there is a nice intermediate niche of CMS sites to be
really adapted to users but more efficiently with on-rev xtalk. And for that
having irev-cgi stacks running on on-rev servers would be, for me, the
starter sign!

2010-05-13 Thread David Bovill
Jerry - it would be good to outline a little more clearly how Rodeo works /
fits into the picture of how to develop apps on iPhone for Rev developers.
I'm not clear - so I guess perhaps others are not.

At present you have to make iPhone apps using either:

   1. Cocoa Touch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_Touch and
Objective Chttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-Cusing Xcode and
the the iPhone
   SDK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_OS#iPhone_SDK
   2. Use open web standards and Xcode with or without open source
   frameworks such as
PhoneGaphttp://phonegap.pbworks.com/Getting-Started-with-PhoneGap-%28iPhone%29
   3. Other?

You could also just create iPhone tailored web sites (with or without
JavaScript frameworks to help out):

   - http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10295121-37.html
   -
   
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/7600/google-voice-web-app-now-available-to-iphone-and-webos.html

I'm sort of assuming that Rodeo is an app written in Cocoa Touch/Objective
C/Xcode which reads and writes structured data to the web server. You
therefore have an authoring app and a web service. The web service is able
to customize an Xcode project, and therefore create an app from this data
for you, which you then aim to submit to the App store.

Questions:

   - Is this right?
   - Is this not simply using web services to do the same thing as any other
   framework that automatically generates Objective C for Xcode - and therfore
   could fall foul of the originally written clause on the new license?

I am trying to choose between the web app approach, the PhoneGap approach
and Rodeo - thanks

Presumably Jerry is asleep at the moment but from what I've read and  
watched...


Rodeo is written in Rev and creates *online* HTML webapps, hosted on  
On-Rev. Xcode is not involved in the end-user's workflow at all*. The  
'originally written in' clause is irrelevant because all that ends up  
being accessed by someone using a Rodeo-created webapp is HTML/CSS/JS.


Basically, using Rev's strengths in text/file manipulation to generate  
all the relevant web files from a Rev-like syntax. What I'm not sure  
of is whether the Rodeo service is set up to generate the web files on- 
the-fly or to compile them when you finish editing an app. Presumably  
the second option, or the server load would get a bit heavy.

* Jerry has spoken about a future possibility of advising authors on  
PhoneGap-style wrapping of webapps for submission to Apple, but again  
all the code is processed within Webkit and therefore bypasses the

Ian,

Well said and accurate. 

As regards the Rodeo server load and saving...

Saving Rodeo code from either the Rodeo desktop or iPad IDE will result in 
sending it to the server where it will be rendered into viewable web app pages. 
The On-Rev server is surprising fast.

Robert,

We are looking at all of the frameworks. We started exploring SproutCore a few 
weeks ago.

With respect to Rodeo, we want to keep our app pages as lean as possible, so 
use of frameworks will by necessity have to be discrete.

Sarah and I have been tuning the Roadmap to bring the release date closer. 
Having fun with this.

I read ALL the posts about RevMobile iPad published before and after the 
Kevin's announcement (difficult because I understand directly approximately 50% 
of what I read).
As a non-professional developper not interested by AppStore, at this time 6 
(+2?) solutions are available to me :
1.  Expect a change in strategy from Apple  I don't believe it, especially 
since I agree with, roughly, the arguments of Steve
Jobs (I am not a fanatic cross-plateform).
2.  Begin to explore Objective-C with the help of my daughter who decided 
to join it (she's an ActionScripter...)  I find it
hard to believe considering my age and my abilities
3.  Expect Hypercard for iPad suitable to Mr. Jobs...  good wills ?
4.  Expect a multitouch Wacom Wifi tablet (like Cintiq but multitouch and 
Wifi)  in this case it would multitouch functions in
RunRev
5.  Use RevMobile for iPad in his unfinished version  Full features ? What 
price ? Compiler ? and Kevin said : We can no
longer create the native interface objects layer, but rather invite our 
community to develop a set of emulated object.
This last point does not bother me too much, it is a form of very 
interesting challenge and it is a bit what I am doing now
with RunRev (the Macintosh interface unsatisfactory) ...
6.  Watch the side of Rodeo  it feel interesting but it feel complicated 
(perhaps I am wrong...)
If some of you are interested in the point 5, I would be glad to talk with 
them...

-- After that line, that's humor! ;-)
I thought also two other solutions :
7.  Start a hunger strike  impossible, I'm french and in France the food

8.  Immolate by the fire surrounded by all my Macintoshes (128K, SE30, 
IIfx, MacPorts, PowerBook 170, PB5040, PB G3

René,

You could of course start developing with RunRev for revServer and then you 
would get to target all mobile and web devices, as well as Linux.

A revServer option would allow for both native and browser based applications. 
Which, before this past year, was were all of the talk was centered around. Web 
Apps are still very relevant and will work in a native browser wrapper on most 
mobile phones directly.

What we need is a community wide collection of revServer 'objects' 'scripts' 
for each of the desired targets and target features.

Richard,
I don't know that it would require a complete 100% 'learning' of javascript, 
exactly, but rather a sharing of javascript resources that are directly tied to 
irev scripts and UI objects. This is what has been happening already. I need to 
know how to tie in something I want to do with irev on my site and I go to 
Sarah's site to see how she tied it into JS (as an example.) This kind of 
shared resources can lead to a very nice collection of objects and scripts for 
RunRev users.

René,

I love this article by Richard: 
http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/netapps.html

I can't speak for Rodeo (You will have to ask Jerry or Sarah) but as far as I 
know, Rodeo is just for iPhone/iPad but revServer(iRev and revCGI) is for 'all' 
platforms that have a browser and internet connection.

revServer uses revolution in a browser window with out the need for downloading 
plugins but requires a RunRev engine on the server.

It works right now without any violations of any licenses out of the box on all 
web/browser enabled mobile devices.

Check it out on the RunRev site.

Yes! Having spent the better part of 9 years getting
reasonably good at RevTalk I have neither the time,
energy or inclination to start learning something as
un-xTalk as JavaScript.

I am pondering whether to learn the HyperNext language
but have yet to see what benefits will accrue from that;
the developer says he should (nice modal verb there)
be popping out a Linux version in September-ish.

--

Apple have closed the door for Rev developers as far as
the iPhone and iPad are concerned; at least for the
meantime; so any further discussion in that direction is
a waste of time.

However; outside the cow-byre of Apple there are lovely
green fields full of flowers just longing for programs made
with RunRev and revMobile; so sucks to Apple and move
on . . .  :)

--

From my point of view, RunRev's failure to bring the Linux
version up to par with the Windows and Mac versions is
not much better than Apple saying boo. There is a vast
area of computing (i.e. Linux deployment) that is being
excluded from RunRev developers just as surely as
Apple is excluding RunRev developers from the expensive
toys.

An essential element to using browsers successfully is very good power  
scripting for accurate browser detection.  The best resource online  
that I have found is QuirksMode.org to modify the HTML for the best  
result in the various browsers.


Also high on the list to study is the Adobe Flash detection scripts  
that show the array of detection logic paths required for a developer  
to deliver the best possible user experience in a browser.  Of course,  
you would not use Flash, but their detection algorithms are very  
complete.


The Rev community incarnation would be a library of routines that  
could be built by collaboration and updated as new versions of  
browsers hit the market.


There are huge advantages to using your RevServer account to host the  
functions you would require for your 'apps'.  One advantage is that  
variations in javascript between browser versions would have far less  
effect.  In this case you could use basic javascript code to trigger  
functions (eg. formatText.irev, parseArray.irev, errorCheckForm.irev)  
based on user interactions.  Now you need not learn everything about  
javascript and do the tricky stuff in irev/rev stacks/cgi


Some on the list may not realize that you can build a stack of many  
cards, then launch it on the RevServer using Rev cgi/irev so that its  
stack script is available momentarily.  Just add the stack to the cgi  
environment, build the scripts, launch it without using any User  
Interface (UI) objects, then access the fields, navigate the cards  
just as you would on your desktop.  After the cgi call is completed,  
the stack disappears from memory, but the idea is that its stack  
script functions returned a result that is sent back to the users  
browser to be displayed.


Theoretically, you could have one Rev stack for each web page you  
would own or support.  Or you could have a Rev stack containing all of  
the browser detection scripts, and this stack would be called/used for  
each ping from the web page.  The result is highly accurate HTML for  
each browser.


By sharing this development, those who know javascript could show how  
to build simple 'hooks' so that most of the heavy lifting would be in  
RevTalk


Of course, if you wanted to use zero javascript, your web solutions  
would be less powerful and more difficult to create.


Hope this helps.

I have been married for very nearly 20 years; the path of 'true love' is 
rarely, if ever, smooth.


I love my PPC G3 and G4 Macs; should I suddenly become a bit richer than 
I am at the moment
I would probably rush out a buy a maxxed-out MacPro,a big, juicy laptop 
and so on.


I have 3 children who come to my school with iPhones; I have played 
around with all of them
extensively; they, frankly, leave me cold: when I want a mobile 
telephone I want a mobile
telephone; when I want a computer I want a computer; when I want a 
record player, camera,
personal psychiatrist . . . blah, blah, blah.  And, last but not least; 
curling up with an iPad for a read

seems a pretty poor second to a real book.

I don't have much time for dictatorial types who tell me what I can or 
cannot do with something
I, supposedly, own; or stop me from helping other people do what they 
want with things they

supposedly own.

I also love the fact that, thanks to Linux, my hardware overheads in my 
school are about ten percent

of my children's annual pocket-money requirements.

I don't like Windows; but, like it or not; most of the people who use my 
software outwith my school

use Windows - so I have to test my stuff on Windows.

I love Runtime Revolution to distraction, and have repeatedly tried to 
'stretch the envelope'
with it. I love it so much that I would like it to be available to all 
and everybody, as so with
standalones generated from it; hence my hammering on and on about the 
Linux version.


---

I know that Kevin and Co. are in an awkward position. However, I did 
state a while back

that I wondered whether they were not over-extending themselves a bit.

I do hope that both RunRev and RunRev (i.e. the company and the IDE) can 
survive this
particular storm - which, in all probability, will look rather 
insignificant with the

wisdom of hindsight in a couple of years time.

As usual, Jim has provided us with a great explanation of how it all fits 
together. My first question: Why don't you gather up all your posts and put out 
a book? 

I just want to add one small addition. All the popular javascript libraries, 
jQuery et. al., are popular because they have built-in browser sniffing. 
Instead of heading to quirksmode.org directly, a person could either use or 
deconstruct those libraries to find out how to do it.

Re: Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

2010-05-12 Thread Jerry Daniels
Rene,

Since you brought it up, I believe Rodeo is the most straight forward approach 
to developing web apps for the iPad. Of course, I'm biased because Sarah, Rob, 
Mary Jane and I are creating Rodeo! 

You don't need revServer, On-Rev, revPlugin, revMobile or even Revolution IDE 
to use Rodeo. You don't even need to get online storage for you web apps as 
that's included in Rodeo's small monthly fee.

Rodeo will be like HyperCard for the iPad. Simple and easy. Whatever skill you 
possess in revTalk, HyperTalk, stack/card architecture can be reused as a Rodeo 
developer.

Rodeo is being built using revServer, On-Rev and Revolution IDE by our 
development team. RunRev, the company, will profit from our endeavor as our 
technology of choice. We would not be able to get to market so quickly without 
our use of Revolution technology.

With Rodeo Desktop IDE you write your code in a single HyperTalk-like language 
and build your interface with an integrated Hypercard-like UI builder. On the 
iPad itself you will be able to edit the code for your Rodeo-built web app if 
you have edit permissions, which as the author of the app you would have.

Rodeo is well suited for personal app development, education, consultants, and 
custom app developers whose clients don't want to pay $75,000+ or deal with 
Apple's app store as is the case with an Objective-C app for the iPad

As the weeks tick by, we plan to add support for iPhone and other mobile 
platforms if there is a demand. We are seriously considering an option to help 
our customers roll their web apps into native iPad apps that can be submitted 
to the app store. This service will also be demand-driven.

This is a simple product with attractive pricing made with the small developer 
and inventive user  in mind. I hope this explanation helps you sort through 
your options.

Best,

Jerry Daniels

 Jobs (I am not a fanatic cross-plateform).
 2.  Begin to explore Objective-C with the help of my daughter who decided 
 to join it (she's an ActionScripter...)  I find it
 hard to believe considering my age and my abilities
 3.  Expect Hypercard for iPad suitable to Mr. Jobs...  good wills ?
 4.  Expect a multitouch Wacom Wifi tablet (like Cintiq but multitouch and 
 Wifi)  in this case it would multitouch functions in
 RunRev
 5.  Use RevMobile for iPad in his unfinished version  Full features ? What 
 price ? Compiler ? and Kevin said : We can no
 longer create the native interface objects layer, but rather invite our 
 community to develop a set of emulated object.
 This last point does not bother me too much, it is a form of very 
 interesting challenge and it is a bit what I am doing now
 with RunRev (the Macintosh interface unsatisfactory) ...
 6.  Watch the side of Rodeo  it feel interesting but it feel complicated 
 (perhaps I am wrong...)
 If some of you are interested in the point 5, I would be glad to talk 
 with them...
 
 -- After that line, that's humor! ;-)
 I thought also two other solutions :
 7.  Start a hunger strike  impossible, I'm french and in France the food 
 is sacred!
 8.  Immolate by the fire surrounded by all my Macintoshes (128K, SE30,

 Series, PB Titanium PB G4 12 iMac G7 27, sorry I have no iPhone and 
 not yet iPad [28th May]) under the Eiffel

 With Rodeo Desktop IDE you write your code in a single HyperTalk-like

 builder. On the iPad itself you will be able to edit the code for your 
 Rodeo-built web app if you have edit permissions, which as the author of the

 As the weeks tick by, we plan to add support for iPhone and other mobile

Rene,

You ask an excellent question: 

If the approach Rodeo takes can let you use the iPad features using a single 
HyperTalk-like language, then why doesn't Runtime Revolution do this?

The simple answer is: it's not in their corporate DNA, but it is most certainly 
in ours. RunRev is all about the binary engine...creating it, making it happen. 
We're all about text...parsing it, letting an engine render it. 

Kevin and I talked before I announced, of course. We have worked together over 
the years and know each other pretty well. It was obvious to us both the 
directions each of us would go in response to the Apple lock-down. Different, 
but very complementary.

Best,

Re: Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

2010-05-12 Thread David C.
This is more of an editorial comment rather than adding anything much
of real value to the discussion, but here goes...

RunRev offers some awesome products and this list community is just
about as good as it gets anywhere. With that said, I can add that
although I sincerely admire what you folks have planned for Rodeo, it
is highly unlikely that I'll ever become a customer or user.

 You don't need revServer, On-Rev, revPlugin, revMobile or even Revolution
 IDE to use Rodeo. You don't even need to get online storage for you web
 apps as that's included in Rodeo's small monthly fee.

What it *does* require though, is the purchase or ownership of Apple
hardware (the iPad for sure and/or a Mac computer should the Windows
version not come about) and I have no intentions of ever going there
again.

Apple's restrictive and unwarranted policies have cost them (and
Rodeo) at least one customer for the future. As much as I enjoy the
functionality, ownership of the iPhone even feels a bit dirty to me
now. An Android phone will most likely be in my future.

I've become a customer to many of you here that offer Rev related
products... just purchased the conference dvd's, should have a
RevServer account by the end of the week and have plans to upgrade to
the Enterprise edition and/or add RevMobile sometime in the near
future.

I try to be supportive to all of you offering Rev related products
that I need or can use (like Rodeo), but not at the expense --no pun
intended-- of owning or purchasing Apple hardware in the future.

A sad state of affairs, huh?

Re: Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

René,

Answer: Yes, Rodeo will support access to the iPad APIs that make playing 
music, etc. possible in a web app. We are constrained by what Apple will allow, 
but thus far it appears to be a wide-open playing field.

That said, Rodeo is being developed and will be released in stages with 
incremental improvements much as tRev has. Not everything will be available 
from day one, but because of this, day one will come quickly.

Our Kickstart program and sales of tRev are starting to create a development 
budget for us. The more of that we can do, the better. Also, we have been 
approached about contract work where we build Rodeo apps for others.

Many thanks to the Kickstarters, tRev buyers and iPad clients. May they 
multiply! We may need to create some Rodeo developers quickly so they can help 
us with our contracting!

Best,

Jerry Daniels

David and Jerry, 

The customer could avoid having to buy any Mac hardware if they could design 
their app on the Rodeo website itself. The website could act as a development 
IDE and a simulator both. When you are done designing your app then anyone 
could download the app from the Rodeo website. This would be very good 
advertizing for Rodeo because people could see all the apps made with it.

One question for Jerry:

Why are you targeting the iPad and not the iPhone. I know you like to stay 
ahead of the curve, but it seems like there are a lot more potential customers 
for iPhone.

Mike

On May 12, 2010, at 7:02 AM, Michael Kann wrote:

As usual, Jim has provided us with a great explanation of how it all  
fits together. My first question: Why don't you gather up all your  
posts and put out a book?


I just want to add one small addition. All the popular javascript  
libraries, jQuery et. al., are popular because they have built-in  
browser sniffing. Instead of heading to quirksmode.org directly, a  
person could either use or deconstruct those libraries to find out  
how to do it.


Mike


I, too, like the JQuery libraries, but the real catch is that  
development of apps usually requires that the programmer handle  
specific needs/inconsistencies much sooner than library updates (eg.  
JQuery) become available.  Also, running large libraries when your app  
only needs a small subset can lead to headaches when conflicts arise.   
One example of headaches can be seen with WordPress themes and plugins  
that use PHP libraries written by a variety of authors.


One factor when designing a project is to anticipate all the  
innovations that mobile/browser implementations will incorporate in  
the future.  This will be a shifting landscape for many years to  
come.  An example will be the Google Android updates.  Another example

As far as any book, highly unlikely.  My specialty is internet  
marketing and my two client campaigns consume all of my available  
time, and will do for the next couple years.  The On-Rev server, cgi,  
php, irev will be integral and essential components of my marketing  
operation.   I am sure I will have multiple accounts and numerous  
libraries.

Rene,

I will be doing another posting on Rodeo with answers to your questions. This 
will happen either Friday or early the next week. 

We will not be peppering the list here with this sort of thing, but I will give 
quick answers and direct discussion to the Rodeo site where it belongs.

I don't want to wear out my welcome here.

Best,

Jerry Daniels

 Answer: Yes, Rodeo will support access to the iPad APIs that make playing 
 music, etc. possible in a web app. We are constrained by what Apple will 
 allow, but thus far it appears to be a wide-open playing field.
 
 That said, Rodeo is being developed and will be released in stages with 
 incremental improvements much as tRev has. Not everything will be available 
 from day one, but because of this, day one will come quickly.
 
 Our Kickstart program and sales of tRev are starting to create a development 
 budget for us. The more of that we can do, the better. Also, we have been 
 approached about contract work where we build Rodeo apps for others.
 
 Many thanks to the Kickstarters, tRev buyers and iPad clients. May they 
 multiply! We may need to create some Rodeo developers quickly so they can 
 help us with our contracting!

Michael,

We are targeting the iPad first because of it's at the beginning of a steep 
growth curve and because it has a large enough screen to house an IDE!

 David and Jerry, 
 
 The customer could avoid having to buy any Mac hardware if they could design 
 their app on the Rodeo website itself. The website could act as a development 
 IDE and a simulator both. When you are done designing your app then anyone 
 could download the app from the Rodeo website. This would be very good 
 advertizing for Rodeo because people could see all the apps made with it.
 
 One question for Jerry:
 
 Why are you targeting the iPad and not the iPhone. I know you like to stay 
 ahead of the curve, but it seems like there are a lot more potential 
 customers for iPhone.

 This is more of an editorial comment
 rather than adding anything much
 of real value to the discussion, but here goes...
 
 RunRev offers some awesome products and this list community
 is just
 about as good as it gets anywhere. With that said, I can
 add that
 although I sincerely admire what you folks have planned for
 Rodeo, it
 is highly unlikely that I'll ever become a customer or
 user.
 
 You don't need revServer, On-Rev, revPlugin, revMobile
 or even Revolution
 IDE to use Rodeo. You don't even need to get online
 storage for you web
 apps as that's included in Rodeo's small monthly fee.
 
 What it *does* require though, is the purchase or ownership
 of Apple
 hardware (the iPad for sure and/or a Mac computer should
 the Windows
 version not come about) and I have no intentions of ever
 going there
 again.
 
 Apple's restrictive and unwarranted policies have cost them
 (and
 Rodeo) at least one customer for the future. As much as I
 enjoy the
 functionality, ownership of the iPhone even feels a bit
 dirty to me
 now. An Android phone will most likely be in my future.
 
 I've become a customer to many of you here that offer Rev
 related
 products... just purchased the conference dvd's, should
 have a
 RevServer account by the end of the week and have plans to
 upgrade to
 the Enterprise edition and/or add RevMobile sometime in the
 near
 future.
 
 I try to be supportive to all of you offering Rev related
 products
 that I need or can use (like Rodeo), but not at the expense
 --no pun
 intended-- of owning or purchasing Apple hardware in the
 future.
 
 A sad state of affairs, huh?
 
 Best regards,
 David C.

Oui!

Yes, that's a big part of Rodeo's appeal: iPad coding on a Mac or on the iPad. 
The UI builder for iPad will come along after the Mac IDE, but you'll be able 
to edit your code on the iPad right away.

Well it is a good thing that Thee and Me, at least, are grown ups, so we 
can disagree violently yet still carry on a civilised

correspondence.

This is, of course, quite unlike somebody else . . .  :)

I think that the reason many people discard Wittgenstein is that they 
think because he did not write in some sort of
metaphysical jargon, but plain, simple words and sentences, he wrote 
crap. In fact, if one takes one's time to work

one's way through his work there is a lot of good there.

I, also, wouldn't doubt that there is a lot of good in some of 
Nietzsche's work; it has been, however, overshadowed by
historical developments; whether as a result of misinterpretation (and 
that has to be a subjective judgement) of what
he wrote, distortion by his sister, distortion by Chamberlain, or what 
he actually did write.


What constitutes one man's misinterpretation may be another man's 
verité; ne c'est pas?  And as Nietzsche is dead

we are quite unable to find out what the man actually intended to say.

It is also extremely difficult to read any writer whose work has had an 
historical effect without one's interpretation
being coloured by a knowledge of that historical effect; reading in 
vacuo is not an option..


While Wittgenstein has had an effect on late 20 century thought, he has 
not precipitated (even if unwittingly) what
happened in central Europe between 1933 and 1945, and whose echoes are 
still being felt.

If Hitler had read Nietzsche I do not think it is claimed. It is very violent 
with anti-Semitic, also the violence. I think he read the wrong book concocted 
by his sister in which sentences are truncated and modified to suggest to 
Hitler that his brother shared his ideas. 
read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Will_to_Power_ (manuscript), I 
know the French version 
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Volonté_de_puissance 
I do not know if the English version is the same (five times shorter). 
I understand (I hope I am not wrong) that you worked on Sanskrit. 
Nietzsche in particular raised the figure of Dionysus, the Greek equivalent of 
Shiva (Cernunos in Celtic) 
A few days ago on French television, Michel Onfray, a French philosopher 
strongly anchored to the left (politics) said: The discovery of Nietzsche has 
changed my life. I doubt a man of the left claims (especially in France) of a 
philosopher professing the ideals of the far right. 
But it is late Mister (Mais il est tard, Monsieur) (in the words of Jacques 
Brel), almost midnight and it is time to go to bed. 
It is not easy and it takes time but this writer is very important if there is 
only one book to read about Nietzsche Nietzsche I advise Patrick Wotling (I do 
not know if has been translated into English), but that of Deleuze has been 
(but it is very difficult).
Good Night Richmond !

 Thanks, René.  Good info.  Sheds good light on the man, and helps explain 
 why my own somewhat limited readings of Nietzsche's works didn't strike me 
 the same way others describe him.

 Die fröhliche Wissenschaft:

The Gay Science was about poetry
and the idea of power.

It has also been translated as The Joyous
Wisdom (which avoids any latter-day
ambiguity).

Personally I would go for an entirely
literal translation of 'fröhliche';

frolicsome

nothing either wrong or ambig. about
that!

Bon Nuit,  ???, Slaap lekker!

Absolutely.  I'd decided long ago against having anything to do with
Apple and the iPhone, because I thought the direction Apple was going
in was extremely retrograde.  I wish my fears over Apple had been
wrong.

But I'd be delighted to see RunRev focus on it's core tools.  I can
only hope that good things for the Linux version of Rev would come out
of a focus on Android.  FWIW, I've been happily running a HTC phone
(Windows Mobile) for over 2 years. I've been very happy with what it
provides me with (many of things required jail-breaking on the iPhone,
and even required hoop-jumping on an Android phone).  But HTC seem to
make damn fine phones.  This thing is so superior to all the
top-of-the range Nokia phones I've had in the past, and I bought it on
the recommendation of a gadget freak who rated it very highly.  I've
no doubt my next phone will be a HTC Android.

Let's be glad that Apple pulled the rug at this point, instead of in
12 months time.

 For a small company, focusing on core competencies is a really good thing,

 world is a best-in-class cross-platform desktop software dev environment.

Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

2010-05-10 Thread Jerry Daniels
As we all know, the very definition of a personal computer has changed  
radically over the last year. Personal computing devices are becoming  
more personal and more mobile. This transformation has accelerated  
dramatically in the last month.


Every technology company on our little planet is changing the way they  
do business to accommodate this transformation. And so is Revolution.  
Shareholders chase growth, and everyone of us who have bought a  
license to Revolution desktop, On-Rev, or revMobile are, in effect  
shareholders. We don't want to be left behind.


Kevin and team have shown their resilience and brilliance in the  
transformation department with their announcement today. They've  
adjusted their roadmap and their offering to keep us all in the game.  
They have my thanks, trust, and admiration. And my business going  
forward.


I have done business with Kevin over the last decade as his  
contractor, vendor, customer and friend. I spent a few days with him  
and Mark in Edinburgh working on a project. We've broken bread, curry  
and haggis together. I known these guys. I like doing business with  
them and I like where they're going.


I bought the great revMobile pre-alpha along with the conference, the  
DVDs, the works. I do not want or expect a refund just because a part  
it will not be delivered as hoped. Even if I had bought within the  
last 30 days I would not want anything. I'm getting a good product and  
value for my money. I have no concerns. I know I'll get preferential  
treatment with any new mobility platforms Kevin an Mark do.


Best,

Jerry Daniels

Well said and I am in complete agreement.

iPhone  iPad's loss is just Androids gain.

I would have loved to have instead heard apple's reaction to the prospect that 
runrev would output clean well formed objective C source that would be compiled 
in apples blessed and native IDE. Of course apple would want to developed its 
own xtalk environment for the ipad.  They own the domain!  They invented it!  
What did you think they would say?  Nuts!

Android over iPad (was RE: Thoughts on Kevin's announcement)

2010-05-10 Thread Lynn Fredricks
 Kevin and team have shown their resilience and brilliance in 
 the transformation department with their announcement today. 
 They've adjusted their roadmap and their offering to keep us

I completely agree, Jerry.

The iPhone family of products represent a very attractive consumer platform.
We cannot expect iPad users to understand the issues around Steve Jobs war
on cross platform tools - just talk with your non computer industry friends
who also happen to use an iPhone about it (guess what I did on Mother's
Day). The iPad today is still the product it was yesterday - except now we
know our Rev projects won't be on it.

Just as Steve Jobs has his business reasons for making his decisions, so do
you as software vendors.

I don't think you should go out and burn your iPhone and iPad.  But just
like Steve Jobs, you should also consider your business as well. Support
RevMobile on Android. Plan for it. Help make it happen. Make the words
HyperCard and Runrev and Android appear often in your blogs, twitter
posts and facebook updates. 

I don't suggest this for reasons other than business reasons. Supporting a
platform where you can deploy your applications, which makes it possible for
more copies of your applications to be sold.

Ive already made a blog update to this effect, it isnt much more than you
already know:
