Comments on: Blog comments added

Comments are now possible for the blog, thanks to the free services of Haloscan.com. It's nothing fancy, but does solve the immediate need with only 60 seconds of REBOL programming required on my part.

Let me know how it works, or if there are any problems. If necessary, we can add a volunteer moderator or two to help manage the comments.

Thanks Ed and Chris for the Haloscan suggestion.

Ed 9-Apr-2006 13:40	:) A caveat about HaloScan-- I've heard that they "own" your comments, and in the past they've deleted comments as old as only 4 months. Sorry to post this rumour/info without firsthand experience.
popper 10-Apr-2006 7:02	hi carl. i didnt know were else i could be sure you might see read this and didnt want to polute the rebol experts posting here as im no expert and infact mostly just look for /view apps that your average user might want to use such as GUI's, for instance for shell/cli encoder apps and the like, amazingly even after all this time, there doesnt seem to be any, and thats a shame, as i really do think just a few nice looking encoder front ends that can be used on any platform that exists for both /view and the encoders would get people using and gravitating to all things rebol etc. i always thought that D-paint type app that any beginner could easly use to draw out the GUI right click to insert the cli/shell app you wanted to run from that click button, and have that app write out the fully working /view code ready to be used there and then, its a shame noone ever made that app, LOL. i wonder if now iv voiced it, someone will be kind enough to make it and post to the rebol.org or somewere so i can tell every shell app writer this great rebol app exists to help them make fancy GUI's for any supported platform and all with one single script :) oh an amiga style requestchoice, requestfile and requesttext command embedded in a rebol/view would be a really useful option to help bring back the old amiga shell scipting again , shame i cant get a kingcon for windows or (PPC)linux so id love to use rebol in its place, as id hope many more old and new users (non programmers) might use it to. one last thing i do wonder if your pet interest in AI will find its way into a future rebol and help define and expand HPC (High-Performance Object-Oriented Computational Science) for instance http://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/c...ects/hpc- oo.php sorry for going on but i hope iv been clear and perhaps interesting.
