newLISP newS / Registration is working again!
July 11, 2013, 01:37:16 PM
My apologies to anyone who has tried to register recently. There was a misconfiguration with our mail server, and our confirmations weren't being sent out.



Please try again, and thank you for your patience!

newLISP newS / Spam attack -- Update: All clear.
November 16, 2012, 04:52:15 PM
We had a nice little spam attack earlier today. Thank you all who alerted me, and helped delete the spam messages! There were quite a few new "registrations" that I agonized over, worried that I might be deleting legitimate new Members.



Many other sites have been hit as well, and new Member registration will be turned off until we understand the attack, and how to defend against it.



My apologies for any inconvenience!

newLISP newS / nLFC scheduled downtime
July 06, 2012, 04:51:08 PM
This newLISP Fan Club forum will be down for about four hours on Monday, July 9, 9:30 UTC while we transfer to a newer and better server. But the site will probably be unavailable for longer, while the new IP address propagates.



Sorry for the disruption, but we'll still be here!

Anything else we might add? / SOPA / PIPA What can you do?
January 18, 2012, 08:15:31 AM
First, you can learn who the good guys/bad guys are:

http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/">http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/

then do whatever you can to support/bring pressure on them, maybe by concentrating on Rep. Lamar Smith and Sen. Patrick Leahy, and their constituents first:

http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/S000583">http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/S000583

http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/L000174">http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/L000174



Slashdot has a good article, if you haven't seen it yet:

Anything else we might add? / Announcing an Exciting Merger!
April 01, 2011, 03:54:08 PM
Larry Ellison and I are proud to announce that after several months of negotiations we are merging Oracle with the newLISP Fan Club.



Larry and I both are looking forward to our new partnership, and our new opportunities. He will get to screw over another innovative community, and I will be able to sail his boat.

Dragonfly / Installing Dragonfly to hosted server
June 24, 2010, 02:28:36 PM
I'm having trouble installing the Dragonfly framework to my hosted account. I copied the dragonfly-framework folder, index.cgi, and .htaccess to my site's root folder per the installation instructions. It appears that I do not need to make any changes to the config.lsp file. And I changed the hashbang line to point to a known-good newlisp-10.2.8.


Code Select
ERR: problem accessing file : "/home/myacct/webapps/_/dragonfly-framework/lib/utils.lsp"
I suppose '_' above represents my web root directory. The utils.lsp is in the above path.

I've found a Church wiki http://projects.csail.mit.edu/church/wiki/Church">here. I thought it would be interesting to pass on to this group.

The nLFC now has an Atom feed:

Someday, when phpBB documents this feature, we may even have one of those web feed symbols on the URL line.

newLISP newS / Unboxing after the move
November 15, 2009, 09:20:42 AM
We are successfully running on our new web host, and have upgraded the system software. Whew! Two unresolved issues that are in my 'round-tuit' basket are enabling emails thru this mail server, and setting up an RSS feed. I'll get a round tuit someday.



But now it is time to arrange things the way we want them in our new home. I've created some new categories, and have moved many of your posts around. newLISP for Win and newLISP for *n?x are now newLISP and the O.S., and I'm carving newLisp Main Discussion into newLISPhilosophy, Nuts & Bolts, and How do I?, and adding the vital So, what can you DO with newLISP?



What do you think so far?

newLISP newS / newLISP Fan Club is Moving!
October 12, 2009, 09:48:22 AM
The nLFC is upgrading its software, and moving to a new web host.



The new address will be http://newlispfanclub.alh.net">http://newlispfanclub.alh.net. There will be a redirect from the old address so we shouldn't lose anybody in the change. We expect to be down for a small amount of time while the database is being transferred, and during DNS propagation.



Please bear with us while these changes take place. With any luck, this should be fairly quick and painless. Our email, in case there's trouble: newlispfanclub@alh.net

newLISP Graphics & Sound / IDE in 10.1.0
June 27, 2009, 08:57:25 PM
I'm afraid I've forgotten how to bring up the IDE.



The IDE page says "The Java based GUI server is automatically started when the program loads guiserver.lsp." but I get no IDE window when I load it:
Code Select

ryon@rabbit:~/guiserver$ newlisp ./guiserver.lsp
newLISP v.10.1.0 64-bit on Linux IPv4 UTF-8, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

I am able to load and run the other graphical demos -- button-demo.lsp, pinballs-demo.lsp, etc. -- but not the IDE window.

newLISP in the real world / Installing 10.1.0
June 27, 2009, 08:43:03 AM
I'm working my way thru an install on Ubuntu Jaunty. I can't use 10.1.0-1_386.deb because it's apparently not compatible with my 64-bit Athlon.

same error.



And, as you can see, I get lost trying to follow TedWalther's platform thread.



I've installed several newLISPs over the years, but this one has me stymied. Any advice?

Anything else we might add? / Anybody know a good low-cost webhost?
July 22, 2008, 01:19:22 PM
Dreamhost.com has just cheesed me of for the last time. ALH.net and the newLISP Fan Club are looking for a new web host.



I've seen cniweb.net, slicehost, hostmonster, Wholesale Internet, and webhostingunleashed.com suggested here on another thread. Do you Fans have any more suggestions?



This is going to mean a lot of extra work for me, and possibly some slack time as the new DNS addresses propagate, but sometimes a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.

newLISP newS / Articles disappearing from the newLISP Wiki
August 13, 2007, 09:32:07 AM
cormullion reports that some articles have disappeared from the http://alh.net/newlisp/wiki/">//Http://alh.net/newlisp/wiki/ site. I think it's because they were not password protected. The easy way to do this is to always place a
Code Select
[protected:psilwen] at bottom of your Wiki postings.



If your article is missing from the Wiki, please repost! And if anyone can shed more light on these strange disappearances, please let me know.

newLISP Graphics & Sound / NewLISP Guiserver
June 07, 2007, 04:38:39 PM
newdep made the suggestion that we have a new forum for the NewLISP Guiserver, and I think it's a great idea! So, here it is.



If any of you want to suggest forum changes, please feel free to do so. We're all fans here!

newLISP newS / The newLISP Fan Club has a Wiki!
May 26, 2007, 08:26:02 PM
http://alh.net/newlisp/wiki/">http://alh.net/newlisp/wiki/



I see this as a place to share code, links, and long-lived information. But you can use it any way you like, because YOU are the ones that write it. What awesome power!



Special mention goes to Lutz Mueller for writing the Wiki software, and for making it so easy that even I can set it up in under a day.



The pages are protected with the password "psilwen", which should be easy to remember--it's newLISP spelled backwards.



It's here for you to use. I hope you will like it.

newLISP in the real world / Logging httpd activity
January 30, 2007, 07:10:25 PM
The new httpd server with CGI in v.9.0.18 newLISP is very convenient, but I don't see a provision for logging server activity.


Code Select
newlisp -L -c -d 8080 -w c:/my-project

logs only the first connection, and
Code Select
newlisp -L http-conf.lsp -http 8080 -w c:/my-project

doesn't work at all.



It appears that I am misusing the -l and -L options. Is there a proper way to enable logging with the new -http server mode?

newLISP newS / Newer newLISP Fan Club -- Now With RSS!
December 10, 2005, 10:05:02 AM
Due to overwhelming popular request, the newLISP Fan Club BBS now has an RSS feed, so that you can be informed up-to-the-second on any breaking newLISP developments.

newLISP in the real world / Japanese characters in filenames.
June 12, 2005, 08:31:16 PM
I'm trying to catalog the files on my ever-growing stack of backup disks. A few of the filenames are in Japanese, and my WinXP system is configured to show the Japanese characters.



But the newLISP (directory) function returns ???????? in their place. Is there a way to convert these filenames to a list, and then back again? I don't care if they look like the original Japanese characters, but they do need to uniquely describe the file. I'm using both newLISP-tk v.1.26 and newLISP v.8.6.0, both with UTF-8 enabled.

newLISP newS / What was THAT?
March 15, 2005, 07:39:41 PM
Something happened to our NewLISP Fan Club Forum. Maybe a stray cosmic ray flipped a critical bit. Maybe it was a script kiddie, causing a little trouble. The hosting service is keeping quiet about any hardware problems. . .



Whatever caused it, it surprised me too! I'd like to think it's NewLISP reaching a critical mass--becoming sentient--reprogramming itself to say something profound.



This is a good opportunity to upgrade the BBS software and play around with the Forum's style a bit. It will take a few days to attend to all the details, and the Forum may look a little odd from time to time, but be assured that the data is safely backed up, the bills are all paid, and we're working on it!
