[REBOL] OpenCL Wrappers: is anyone working towards this or something already exists!

Hello rebolist,

  as per the subject
  OpenCL Wrappers: is anyone working towards this or something already exists!

  it seems Python is yet again first with interesting OpenCL wrappers/Bindings
  http://www.khronos.org/message_boards/viewtopic.php?f=28t=2008

  http://mathema.tician.de/software/pyopencl
  with full documentation and wiki
  open OpenCL C# Wrapper/bindings and C++ versions too,
  But No rebol wrappers.

   and thats a shame for yet another potentially missed chance to get in early
   with something, indeed Anything rebol core/view related in to new
   markets.

   
 open OpenCL C# Wrapper/bindings
 for all the existing up and coming mass Toolkit's

  http://www.khronos.org/message_boards/viewtopic.php?f=28t=1932
  http://www.opentk.com/
  The Open Toolkit
The Open Toolkit is an advanced, cross-platform wrapper for OpenGL, OpenAL and 
OpenCL. Written in C#,
it runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and can be used by every .Net language.

Hello Henrik,

 This will be quick and dirty:

 The VID Extension Kit for R2:

 This is a library that overhauls VID and the styles to improve the
 experience in using it and creating bigger programs with it. This is
 very much a work in progress, but if I continue to keep it under
 wraps, I'll never get it out. :-)

 Quick feature list:

 - Full tab navigation
 - Field validation and autoformatting
 - Full resizing
 - Many new flags
 - Much better face control: disabling/enabling faces, different
 setting and getting of panels, complex face navigation
 - Many new styles: Selectors, balancers, lists, fields, panels,
 scrollers, iterators
 - Many VID bugs are fixed, although the impossible ones still remain
 - Many new VID bugs are introduced as well :-) Some styles are not working.

 Try it out at:

 http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/vid/src/vid-ext-kit.r

 A simple style browser is available at:

 http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/vid/tools/style-browser.r

 Very preliminary docs at:

 http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/vid/docs/vid-extension-kit.html

 I'll release the full sources later, but have a look and see what you
 think. Remember to ask questions.

very nice Henrik.

do many people use it today ?, or are most people on the net still
advocating and writing Python or indeed anything But rebol for their
and the majority of average peoples GUI video related scripting needs
today!

its a shame no one capable or willing so far was to take the likes the
complimentary Video related (see most non rebol people see 'VID' and
assume video related API options) display wrappers like The Old Kaa Media
python modules Repository and translate it, or refactor it for the
rebol modules use.

i was even surprised the other day when it turns out GUI creators are
still using the old Amiga Gui4Cli interpreter and its scripts ported to
windows for their GUI Encoder needs today rather than Rebol View,
and they have a large user base using that GUI to multi cross platform
Encoders app today.

http://doc.freevo.org/2.0/Kaa

The Kaa Media Repository is a set of python modules related to media.

Kaa modules are based on parts from Freevo and modules created for MeBox.
Kaa exists to encourage code sharing between these projects, and to serve as an 
umbrella
for several previously disparate media-related modules
in order to make them available from one (unique) namespace. 

Kaa provides a base module that implements the common features needed for 
application development,
such as mainloop management, timers, signals, callbacks, file descriptor 
monitors, etc.
Kaa's other modules provide specific media-related functionality,
such as retrieving metadata on arbitrary media files (kaa.metadata, previously
called mmpython), Python wrappers for Imlib2, Xine, and Evas, and many other 
high level APIs
for easily creating applications that deal with video and audio. 

Kaa is named after the python character in the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

[REBOL] a request for help, a ready made rebol script for realtime searching obfuscated data in webpages

2008-04-13 Thread david may

Hello rebolist,

i don't know if any of you have been following the Uk's ISP/Phorm
DPI use at the core ISP network level for profit threads ?

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12/33628733-virgin-media-phorm-webwise-adverts-updated-page-208.html#post34527568

its just come up that the
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem.htm is so hard to
find any related data due to deliberate obfuscated storage and the
many readers there and elsewhere cant easily find related data.

it seems that a rebol GUI can be made in a few hours to make the net
users fighting in this interception for profit battle far easyer.

i have a simple request for any rebol writer please.

can you put together a realtime searching Rebol GUI to get these
obfuscated data in web page links,
parse it and display the data in a linked contextual form so as to see
the relationships if thats possible?.

in this case, we are trying to gather the relationships between the
parliamentary members and any 3rd party company's involved in this Phorm
(and later NebuAd perhaps) ISP connections and also their PR
involvement.

perhaps you might even provide a self contained rebol+script_GUI exe
to make it easy on the readers that have never even heard of rebol
before or how good it is at TCP/IP get/put/parse etc

if you like you might even pop over there and join the thread if
your interested in this Phorm subject!

Hello rebolist,

  did anyone look at this ruby BBC MP4/Mov downloads script and try

  http://po-ru.com/diary/bbc-iplayer-fix-hacked-again/

  it works (if your in the UK or using a UK proxy) but its just so painful to

  never mind trying to work out how they reconstruct the correct url etc.

  and installing an 80meg ruby on your windows machine just to run a 3kbyte

[REBOL] if only Rebol have submitted their tech to the DVB call for technologies!

2008-02-09 Thread david may

Hello rebolist,

its a shame and assume its now to late, ut it would have been cool if
carl could have submitted rebol for inclusion to the DVB call for for 
technologies

http://www.ibc.org/cgi-bin/ibc_dailynews_cms.cgi?story_no=24275issue=5

...
The commercial requirements were included as an annex to the technical module's
formal call for technologies for DVB-T2, which was addressed without 
restriction to any company
that felt it had some technology to offer, whether or not that company was a 
member of the DVB Project.

A total of 31 proposals from 21 companies were received by the DVB Project 
Office
by the closing date in June.

The complicated process of assessing these proposals and agreeing on which 
combination has the
potential to meet the commercial requirements is now under way - and new 
inventions are not excluded.
 ...


i wonder if its really to late, or perhaps they could submit something
now if they had the balls to try ;)

hell id love to see rebol view in all the DVB*2 specs as a generic part,
after all DVB C2 , S2, T2 and H2 are the preferred EU wide long term
choice so Rebol.Inc could benefit massively if their IP were taken onboard

 I don't know if you have ever tried the Abyss Web Server X1. Its Free!
 http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21361

 I like it cause it is tiny and supports all I need, expect REBOL or R3.

 Carl should approach the authors to have support for R3 included in  
 their distributions.

 Here is the blurb on it. I have nothing to do with the company by the
 way, I just like it!
 
 -
 Abyss Web Server X1 is a free Web server available for Windows, MacOS
 X, Linux, and FreeBSD.
 Despite its small footprint, it supports secure SSL connections  
 (HTTPS), download resuming, caching negotiation, logging, CGI/1.1  
 scripts, FastCGI, ISAPI extensions, Server Side Includes (SSI),  
 ASP.NET (on Windows), custom error pages, password protection, URL  
 rewriting, IP address control, aliases, custom MIME types, index  
 files, custom directory listings, anti-leeching, and bandwidth  
 throttling.
 It features also an automatic anti-hacking system and an intuitive  
 multilingual remote Web management interface.

 With Abyss Web Server X1, hosting your site and your PHP, Perl,  
 Python, ASP, Ruby on Rails, or ASP.NET Web applications is a matter  
 of a few minutes.

REBOL as a CGI Interpreter


 
Configuring Abyss With REBOL as a CGI Interpreter 

What is REBOL? 
The REBOL website (www.rebol.com) describes REBOL as a dialected programming 
language with a tiny footprint (~280 KB). It runs on dozens of different 
OS/hardware combinations. No installation is required and it has 100's of 
built-in functions and datatypes as well as built-in support for FTP, HTTP, 
SMTP, and other Internet protocols. REBOL/Core is free for personal, commercial 
and educational uses. 

You will need: 
1) Abyss version 1.1.6 or higher 
2) REBOL/Core (configuration was tested with Windows build 2.5.5.3.1). This can 
be found here: http://www.rebol.com/download.html 

Note: REBOL/Core is free for any use, although the commercial version
(REBOL/Command) offers Fast CGI, database access, SSL and other functionality 
for US$349. If you'd like to use the free REBOL/Core version with MySQL, there 
is a scheme here: http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql/

do a combination of both yours and Volker's thinking, for each
platform that has shell commands that do the same thing but in a
different way, make a generic mapping to be decided.

 write a rebol mini sub script for each command/platform, then call them from 
the main rebol script
that never needs changing on whatever platform its running, only the
mini sub scripts internals change and parse the output back to the main app
to do whatever it likes.

the main script does call directory
on each platform theres a script/exe called directory
but the windows one calls dir, while the linux one calls ls type
thinking.

the generic mapping/name calling just needs to be consistent across
all platforms, perhaps a list already exists? a bit like the old
autoconfig lists of amiga days :) .

 No answer? Boh

 We need to find out the problem why Rebol is not famous, and Python

 Is it only a marketing problem?




 --Alessandro

 put simply,its a tools problem, has been for years.

 the fact is , you can tell the average person how good rebol is and
 can be a great asset to their tool kits, but if there  are no basic
 GUI tools you can point them too, to try, they will not give it a
 second look, never mind for instance, take the basic GUI front-end
 and use that as the basis for thier next great tool and expand it.

for example from the requestchoice and requestfile GUI amiga days
my friend made some base scripts that were expanded over time
infact id like to use this format/style of scripting again with rebol
once someone makes a good working base.
fully working amiga cli command requestchoice example

this form of self contained scripting worked great for linking
shell/cli apps together once we had a good base to work from
shame no ones done something like this a a full working package
for rebol GUI front ends etc, perhaps one day, although iv been
waiting a very long time so far..

he had
 looked at rebol  http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/
  and added a poll on my message there  
http://www.birtles.org.uk/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=142
  this guys part of the group that makes showshifter and yet again it
  appears that these devs dont really care about rebol or its
  capabilitys (no response to my post/poll above yet) as they cant see
  any ready made scripts i can point them too to show just how good
  and inovative rebol /view can be.

  my pet thing right now is the DVB-T  Yuan PD300 mini USB stick and
  the many working but sub-standard apps and associated front-ends and
  controlling software that exists today, it could be so much better
  if i could only point these developers to some fullt working scripts
  on say rebol.org so they can finally understand rebols a good thing
  and they should make some time to try it at the very least.

  we need many simple but expandable rebol /view GUI front ends ,
  no one (here)seems interested in making them though  so the average
  bloke can see and perhaps use them as a base to expand the rebol
  client/server/whatever you like, control interfaces. [/rant]
