New Years Status Update
Posted by Magnus on 1 January 2003, 12:33 GMT

As the new year should start on the last parts of the globe in about 30 minutes, it's about time for a quick status update.

  • Hiring of news editor
    We're working on it :-) Down to a few candidates now, but we're currently waiting for a couple of our staff members to return from holidays before we make the final choice. Expect the result in the beginning of january.
  • Filearchive updates
    Yes, both our filearchivers are unavailable at the moment - out of town or very busy with studies. We expect this to be solved mid-january. Hopefully we can get some sporadic updates through before that.
  • accounts/webmaster mail
    Yes, we've neglected those. Basically, there have been issues as far back as end of september that has gone unanswered. We'll try to fix this now. But in order to avoid double-work, if you have an open issue, please resend it if you haven't received a response. And make sure you send to the correct address - see Contact Us for a list.
  • help@ticalc.org mail
    We currently do not have the resources to answer mail to this address. Please use our mailinglists instead. Or TI support if it is an issue with builtin functions in the calculator.
  • Site hosting
    We still don't accept new site hostings.

Hey Magnus,

I have a suggestion. How about since you added a link from the author pages to the profile, how about you do vice versa (link from the profile to the author page to those applicable). this way we can have a url that goes somewhere other than our author page.

I made a program that does the line of regression stuff easier than the built in stuff... it looks like shiz cuz I made it during math... so I could use it for the test...
I also made a BASIC racing game, but unlike the others, which run in a wierd backwards way, it runs more realistically, and has a horizton and stuff... but it is really slow after like 35 cycles... But you can choose bowser or Mario! but the game really does suck... if only I still had my mathapps prog... I would upload it, cause it was really great... but it got deleted a while ago...

Aw, that sucks. You should backup stuff on your computer about every day, or archive backup copies. If the reason that it gets slower after each frame is probably because of memory leaks. Never use a Goto inside an If-Then. Only inside an If. No then.

It slows down when you jump out of ANY type of loop (I think). This includes the IF - THEN statement and the FOR, WHILE, and REPEAT loops.

Yes, it's when the oxygen particles in the ice convert to a solid and then the solution is mixed with carbon dixode, and you can use a special scientific procedure to harden this, and then, when you let it sit out in a very cold temperature (preferably 25°F), it crystalizes and and the edges become very hard and sharp. Then you mix the *secret chemical mixture* and it warms up but never melts because it takes a different form, in which it's melting temperature is over 212°F (water boils then) and so it remains very, very sharp and hard. They were used as weapons very commonly in World War II. Didn't you guys learn about that in 3rd grade Science?
