DocKimbel: 18:30A native reactive spreadsheet in 17 LOC in Red:

Reichart: 15:50:)

15:50.............. just remmeber "killer app"

15:51(and try to forget that I can't spell)

Bo: 21:50Under the 17LOC Spreadsheet section, there is this:
You can copy/paste the above code into the Red console for Windows, using the latest toolchain build (950 KB), or, better, using this prebuilt console version (247 KB).
The toolchain build gives a 404, and the prebuilt console won't launch on my Windows, for some reason. It just exits immediately after launching.

21:51Oops - wrong group.

Reichart: 22:40Happy to announce we are back up and running and making 3rd party apps again (more are coming)

This one is originally written in REBOL by Maxim, and Celeste has picked it up and is making tweaks and improving it now.
We plan to move it to Mac next. I plan to log what this takes.
Later, I hope to move this over to RED, and then compare again.
(yeah yeah, I'm old, and like programming names in all caps)

Chris: 13:33DocBase Backup
https://github.com/revault/rebol-wiki/wiki
I've moved my backup of DocBase from an unrelated repo in my personal account to a dedicated repo within the Revault group. I've been tidying it on an as-I-notice-things basis as I use it for reference. Let me know if you have any trouble using it.

Gregg: 23:55For those who don't know, Pieter Hintjens, of ZeroMQ and Xitami fame, passed away last Tuesday.

Arnold: 13:50Grand opening today:
http://redlanguageblog.blogspot.nl/
A new community driven BLOG about all and everything about the Red Programming Language.

Gregg: 19:27Restarted this world a earlier today. Some people had trouble logging in.

Bo: 00:08Developed our first "official" product at ameriDroid.com. If you look closely at the USB Ultrasonic Array picture at http://ameridroid.com/ , you may see a familiar name on the window title. :-)

Chris: 05:57AltJSON v0.3.9 for Rebol 2
- Support for /, : and , characters in JSON object keys,
- Improved Unicode/UTF-8 handling
- Support for surrogate pairs (allows for encoding/decoding of characters higher than the BMP, e.g. emoji)
Do: http://reb4.me/r/altjson
Source: https://github.com/rgchris/Scripts-For-Rebol-2
Do let me know if there's any problems.

Ashley: 12:16Munge 3.0.0 - http://dobeash.com/files/munge3.r
Major rewrite:
- Same script works with both R3 and Red
- Block format has changed from flat (e.g. [a 1 b 2]) to blocked ([[a 1][b 2]])
- Single context with functions that can be selectively exported to global context
- Functions simplified and non-core options split off (e.g. munge/list -> list, munge/save -> write-dsv)
- General speed and efficiency improvements
- Munge function supports 1st column binary search
- OLEDB [Windows only] functions (e.g. load-excel) work with both 64bit R3 and 32bit Red
- Some missing Red functions (e.g. delete, delete-dir) implemented via CALL [Windows only]
This is a preview release:
- to-rebol-date and to-string-date do not work fully with Red (as it currently lacks date! support)
- some functions have not yet been enhanced to work on non-Windows systems
- write-excel requires 7-Zip to be installed and will only work on Windows
- The now* function is available when run from Red and provides many [date related] options missing from now
- Basic documentation is available at http://dobeash.com/files/munge3.html
