Randall, do you understand that Apple never sees any source code? The XCode 
compiler does its work on YOUR computer. Apple only sees the finished object 
code. Analyzing the object code can imply what libraries were used to produce 
it, hence the problem. An intermediate step of C code that pretends to be the 
original source would help nobody. Apple would never see it!

I agree with your guess. Most compression algorithms depend on regularities in 
the data, and encryption hides them. Encrypt first and you would hide the stuff 
of which compression takes advantage.

For example, you have a 12000 x 2000 JPEG.
Using imagedata, you turn it into three 4000 x 2000 images.

Re: Rev cannot open my jpeg ! - and some serious thinking

Sarah,

I too wish wish wish Rev would remove the 4095 pixel width limit!
(there is no height limit) As is, its a deal breaker for any serious
app in the photography arena.


I've been looking into the problem with images wider than 4091 pixels  
on OS X.


A while ago, Devin Asay suggested that one could load the image, then  
split the imagedata before displaying it in sections. Mike Markkula  
wrote a nice stack to do just that, but asked for my help when it  
didn't work quite correctly, for no apparent reason.


The problem is worse than we thought. A wide image imports without  
reporting errors, but the imagedata is messed up before you can get to  
it. Its very odd. If an image is 4091 wide, everything seems fine. If  
an image is wider than that, the imagedata is wrong starting with  
pixel #4048 (!). What a strange number!


The scary part is that the messed up bytes came from somewhere wrong.  
We don't know where they came from. Its unlikely that they would be  
outside of Rev's app space (page fault) but it could be dangerous to  
_write_ to those locations by exporting the image by whatever means.


I made an ugly little stack to view the raw pixels of an image. Its at:
http://www.jhj.com/WideBug.zip
 with some test images that have consistent RGB values. Note that  
pixel 4047 is OK, 4048 is not. 4100 (last of first row) is not, and  
different. In each example, the last row appears to be correct. I  
haven't looked deeper, I've seen enough.


It doesn't matter how you load the image - there is a button each for  
the three methods I know about - all give the same results.


Beware! Vote for bug # 4026 !!

Revolution introduced the private command and private function in

If you are on a version => 2.8.1 give it a try.
The private command, according to the documentation, stays local,

it and move along

 put pStart & return after diffPixels
  else -- not dived down to one pixel yet

My routine will be optimal the fewer changes there are in the

I like the ideas to speed up the analysis of differences among 2  
images.

My
impression is that your approach with div 2 is leading to erroneous
resutls
because by dividing by 2 you break the 4 byte blocks of imagedata.  
150 div

2
= 75, 75 div 2 = 37, 37 div 2 = 18. You get the idea. You eventually
compare
blocks of 4 that belong to 2 pixels. That can be alright but not  
in all

Yes.

http://www.jhj.on-rev.com/jhjensen.com

All load the same page.

Everything is in jhj.on-rev.com's public_html folder. You can see  
what's in that folder by loading:

http://www.jhj.on-rev.com (which loads the public_html folder).

Its so easy its confusing!

What I get is:


Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs:

nameservers or
have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ 
ips.remotedns and

make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.



Who do you have your domain registered with?
I think that you have to go there FIRST and change the name servers
there so that they now point to the on-rev name servers.

It sounds as if cPanel is refusing to let you create an Add-On domain
because it can see that that domain is already hosted elsewhere.


Yabut, it does the AddOn anyway, in spite of the complaint. Otherwise  
you wouldn't have a chance to make sure it runs OK before you repoint  
the DNS to on-rev.


For example - my home on-rev domain is jhj.on-rev.com and in that root  
is a folder named public_html. When I did the AddOn for jhjensen.com  
it complained, but also made a folder inside public_html named  
jhjensen.com . So I put my html in there, checked it at
http://www.jhj.on-rev.com/jhjensen.com to see that it worked (as it  
still does). I then changed the DNS at my registrar (which happense to  
be pairnic) and after a while,
http://www.jhjensen.com loads the new site as well. It takes a while  
for the DNS to propagate.


So:
http://www.jhj.on-rev.com/jhjensen.com
http://www.jhjensen.com
both load the same page now, but the second one pointed elsewhere  
until I changed the DNS at pairnic.


Go ahead, be brave, that error won't hurt a bit.

Re: [OT] Opinions about On-Rev

2009-05-21 Thread Jerry J
You use the cPanel to AddOn your domain. If you haven't changed the  
DNS yet, nothing will happen to your old site, and the AddOn routine  
will complain that the DNS is wrong (which is OK, thats what you are  
trying to do!) The AddOn routine does everything else correctly. Then  
you move your site into the appropriate folder(s). After you are happy  
with how your site runs at on-rev, you change the DNS with your domain  
registrar, and as it percolates through the intertubes your new site  
will be in use. Thats my experience, anyway, with a test site.


Good Luck!

Hey Alex,

You'll need to register a domain name with a registrar - many

say you register "alextweedly.com" Then you edit the Nameserver  
setting with the registrar so that it points to On-Rev with the  
info that On-Rev provides, which is probably:


ns1.on-rev.com
ns2.on-rev.com

Then you can create an "Add-on" domain in your On-Rev control panel  
with the name you registered. Place your web site files in this new  
directory. Within a short while everything should sync up and  
requests for "alextweedly.com" will bring visitors to your On-Rev  
hosted site. And with On-Rev you can host unlimited sites.


A "freebie" you get with On-Rev is a user space with your account  
name, like "alextweedly.on-rev.com". You can host a site at this  
address without further registration.


HTH,

No, it doesn't - but thanks for trying to help.

I already have a domain (actually, quite a few of them :-)
I want to migrate some of them to OnRev, but like Sarah I want to  
test them properly before I risk changing nameservers, in case I am  
breaking something, and would have the site be down for a day or two  
before I can change them back again.


So the process Sarah described, namely

[...] wanted to test it out before changing the DNS entries.
I created a sub-domain "troz.troz.on-rev.com" so I could migrate my
site & test it, before changing it to an AddOn domain and altering  
the

DNS.
So the question was quite precise   how do you "change a sub- 
domain to an AddOn domain" ?


There is no mention in the docs (afaics) of changing sub-domain to  
addon domain.


Thanks

I (think I) unerstand most of it
- create a sub-domain
- copy files over
- test it

But how do you "change a sub-domain to an AddOn domain" ?

Yes. Rev appears to use IEEE double-precision binary floating point

sign. So the biggest exact integer is 2 ^ 52 - 1 which is a 16 digit

first) and then just reverse the answer once at the end? Well it does  
speed things up a little. Into your message box:

Re: Another newb question - How to you clear a field?

2009-05-09 Thread Jerry J

From: "J. Landman Gay" 

Yes, that is what I meant. But Dave Cragg disproved my theory, since
apparently the engine works at the same speed in either case (but I am
still having trouble believing it; it seems counter-intuitive.) I  
think

it is better scripting form to quote literals in any case though. It
saves misinterpretation later on when you re-read your scripts, and in
some cases could prevent the engine from mis-interpreting your literal
values as variable names.


Wouldn't the decision whether something is a variable or a literal be  
done just once at *compile* time, not a run time? After deciding, the  
compiler would point to either the location of a variable or the  
location of a literal string - either would be equally fast. So it  
doesn't matter how many loops - actually fewer might show up the  
slower decision making process during compilation, but even that is  
doubtful. Now if the benchmark had 10 different unquoted literals,  
we would see the difference!


I heartily agree that literals should be quoted for all those other  
good reasons.

As a consultant and teacher/trainer, I can answer that. Consulting
requires hard, analytical focus on problem, process, and solution. The
consultant's output is specific direction and procedures, typically
communicated on the consultant's preferred level, with his or her
preferred (paid-for, remember) methods. The objective is to deliver

Teaching and/or training requires a soft, empathic focus on others'
skills and behaviors, along with a flexible ability to communicate on
someone else's level and channel. The objective is to inspire the
motivation to explore and integrate the message with the recipient's
current path.

Communication is the eliciting of a response. Effective  
communication is

the eliciting of a desired response. The consultant and the
teacher/trainer gear their communication for different responses, and
therefore develop and practice different methods.  It's a rare bird

can shift from one objective to the other smoothly, easily, without

 From the little I know about stage lighting - they use a dc voltage
(0-10v) to control dimmers. So to begin, you'd need an A-D controller
that can work with REV, such as the one describe earlier last week:


One whole bunch of dimmers I control, in a big house, use 0-10VDC per  
dimmer which we make in other ways. Another whole bunch of dimmers I  
control, in a theater, can use DMX-512. That is a looped, multiplexed,  
time-divided system (each device has an address (0-511) that determines  
its time slot. For all I know, common DMX-512 interfaces may have  
0-10VDC outputs.


Like Stephen says, its pretty easy to get at MIDI if you can do serial.  
Old mac serial ports could do it directly, but I haven't since.

Hardware Control consoles for this purpose are incredibly cheap, like
cheap audio mixers.
This unit here costs $200, and uses MIDI for control. Perhaps this
might be part of your solution -- then all you need it a

RE: ANN: Updates on MonsieurX

2005-07-27 Thread Jerry J

Hello, MisterX,

Here we go again. NO2 is Nitrogen Dioxide, a major contributor to 
photochemical smog (like in LA). See:

http://www.temis.nl/products/no2.html
for example.

Nitromethane, as in dragster fuel, is CH3NO2, all one molecule. NO2 as 
a molecule, without the methane radical, is just smog food.


How did I get to be the local chemist? Maybe I lived in LA too long.
Cheer to all,
Jerry Jensen

snippety...


My lesson learned is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use revDeleteFolder. I rewrote
the script to use 'the files' and delete each file individually.

Hope others can learn from my mistake!


ARRRGH!!

I have learned.

Stephen,
I get the digest, and here's how the header ofyour last message looks 
to me, with your address in the clear:

Fixing that would be a Good Thing, but there's no help for the larger 
problem: Anybody who has sent you off-list email using that address 
from a Windows machine has to be ever-vigilant with protection against 
spyware/malware. Its even worse if you are in their M$ address book.


This will make you feel better: My server bounces about 250 per _hour_ 
that are to my domain but not my username. I run Spamfire on my mac and 
it takes out another 300-400 per day. I only have to toss about 30 per 
day that get through all that. Mail.app would catch nearly all of 
those, but its just as easy for me to zap 'em in Spamfire.


Just be glad you didn't pick a keyboard finger-twiddle for a domain 
like I did, back when the internet was a nice place and it was sort of 
cool to have a short domain name.


Onward,
Jerry Jensen

Re: compileIt for revolution?

2005-06-22 Thread Jerry J

From: Richard Gaskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: compileIt for revolution?



This is not to suggest that I believe all Rev fans should learn C, so
let me please dispel that hyperbole before it arises.   All I'm
suggesting is that CompileIt! was no panacea, and the effort of using 
it

well was arguably about the same as using existing solutions to make
externals in Rev today.


Today, and also then.

I arrived as a C programmer, learning HyperCard, just about when 
HC/XCMD 2.0 came out. I found CompileIt cumbersome for toolbox access, 
and learned how to write XCMDs in C (never looked back). Ahem, that was 
MPW C, sonny boy, Ahem!


If I need an OS X external for Rev, I won't be looking for a tool like 
CompileIt. So far, I haven't needed such an external, but all the 
points about pixel-manipulation and real math are well taken. I haven't 
dived in yet, but seeing what Trevor and Chris altBohnert have done 
makes me feel good about the prospects.


Best,
Jerry Jensen

actual talk to do the throwing. We had to wait till the end.


Luckily, I was on the other side of the room. If asked, I might have 
joined in with either the throwing or the eating.
