Hi Rob,
Congratulations on the milestone. It's an amazing feat especially
as you retrospect at the state of Internet 10 years ago.
It's a real credit to you that you have developed and supported
a language such as Euphoria over such a period of time.
Well done.
Regards,

I agree. I myself, after hand editing a 100,000 word dictionary, beginning in
1992, with classes, descendants and predecessors, grammar, semantic
info, for machine use, am calling it quits. It's been translated (not well) into
24 languages, occupying nearly 2 gigs. There are dailey news archives going
back 2 years, averaging 250 articles per day, for examples of language use,
a bit over 2 gigs. There's 5 years of irc logs in assorted channels. There is a
hand munged database of assorted datum, about 3 gigabytes of it. But
unlike Euphoria, i'm alone. And i can't make use of it on the internet without
the reverse proxy. Next reboot, i'm pulling those harddrives and putting them
on the shelf. It's clear anything i do is not worth any one else's time.

Which was apparently my fault. Testing of the proxy tripped the wire.
I think it was not closing because of warnings or maybe some other error
*shrug*
As you(jbrown) pointed out, I was told that it was not wanted anymore.
Surely you can't count that as the project being stalled. I don't
recall when I was told that, but it must have been at least 2 months
ago. Probably longer than that. Now once again kat is saying it is not
wanted/needed anymore (she said she is leaving (the computer world??)).
I didn't work on the proxy too much because when I had linux, it was
just too slow to work with (133Mhz puter with 96MB RAM). It ran ok, but
not with the GUI. I just can't opperate without a GUI. Now I have a
computer that can handle it just fine. I have installed Mandrake 8.1
and am working on getting the GUI to work. I beleive I need to upgrade
xfree because thats what I had to do to get it working before. My linux
skills.. well, lets not call them skills. I am a newbie to linux. I
would like to work a little more with linux though. I still need to
figure out how to get my modem to work in linux. its a winmodem :/
With the proxy thing, I don't know whats going on.
J Brown made it originally, and I fixed some bugs that was keeping it
from working and I added some stuff to it. It isn't(well, wasn't) very
easy to work on because after every change I had to upload it to the
server to test it(24K modem). It was working when I left it though. As
I recall, we couldn't get it working for kat becuase we needed access to
her account which she was willing to give us except for one problem, she
forgot the password. I guess she did come up with the password, but as
I recall, that was after tripwire was set off and we were unable to get
access to the server.
I had it taking a request and then making a request on a web server
running on my computer (passing the arguments it received on to my
server along with the person's IP address and browser). I even showed
it to jbrown(i think) and kat and probably some others. Which at the
time was how I beleived she wanted it to work.
BTW, jbrown!! Where are you!! I finally am back online and now you are
gone from the chat room

Robert Szalay
