I just think it is amazing that all those things were actually done in 1 year. I remember when....

I remember when I didn't know how to type in the root for stuff (i.e. www.ticalc.org/pub/89/asm/games) and I had to click: - Archives - Access our archives via the web - 89 - asm - games...back in the day...good times, good times...

That was always a pain. Luckly it did not take me long to figure it out.

Really? LOL! I didn't even know about that... I thought there was no link that went to ticalc.org/pub, so I only typed in that. Later on, I found it...

I'm not really sure what is my personal favorite upgrade to the site (I chose randomly), considering I don't come here often enough any more to really remember anything different from my previous visit... But, I think that, after struggling to remember what ticalc.org was like a year ago, pretty much everything they've changed has been for the better, at least to us users I think (that about sums up what I'm trying to say). I think I can make my point a little clearer if I share one of my own experiences. Making this short, I read Nick's "irked chafed" news item, and shortly thereafter was actually covering for a friend monitoring my school website's message board, recieving threats from people I KNOW...

Today may just be a bad time, but that was a really incomplete post on my part... my appologies

What I was TRYING to say was, I have a lot of respect for the people who work at this website, among the few that I have visited in the past years. I got stuck on a tangent because I just read every news item and poll from the past 2 months, and realized I was a little behind. (I'm caught up now, stop with the angry looks) Yeah... And I ended up voting for the archives.

It was a toss up between file archivers and news system upgrade, I think ticalc.org is just generally a great site though.

Thank you for the RSS Feeds... they are great for me, because I read the TICalc.org Slashbox and I run a site that reads RSS (see link). Just one problem: The fake news isn't included in the feed.

I'm so sorry for being one of those people who keep asking for MORE, but I have a question. When is the search engine going to be back up? Just wondering...

I personally like the current one. The old one was slow (mostly becasue of the server) and you had to type in your searches in a certain manner. Google accepts everyhting!

You should at least embed the Google search into the site. I don't know the details of how it's done, but I know it can be done.

Google? That's actually rather easy...

http://www.google.com/ search? q=This+is+ where+you+type+ what+you+want+to+ search+for

I think that would be rather easy to implement...

But what about all those extra special features like searching: "quadratic formula" instead of quadratic formula to get things that have "quadratic formula" and not ones that have "quadratic" and "formula"? This may be confusing...kinda hard to explain in text... if the brackets are the box...
a search of: ["quadratic formula"] isn't the same as [quadratic formula] which is still different from [quadratic-formula]...I use features like this all the time in google...that may be hard to implement on TICalc...but I believe in you! ;)

Why not just use boolean?

To do that, you will have to study the way the address bar handles such characters. %20 is a quote mark. That is all I know, or care to know.

Right... memorize the hex codes for each ascii character, and you'll be fine :)


Or, in the cgi (or even javascript) that processes all of this, you could convert some of the more important characters, such as ", +, etc. to the ascii code. (quote = 32 ascii = %20 (hex))

I meant more like displaying the search results from Google inline on the ticalc site. See Web Page for some examples (a Google search for websites using Google :).

Personally, the POTY Award is very good because it honors the best programmer for their hardwork and creativity.

aye, besides that one "issue" that doesn't seem to be a really big deal, it's a good thing. (strategic calculator politics...) but i'm curious if it will ever be possible for users to vote on the poty (or do we? or don't? i didn't get the memo)

Damn that mail boy.

Yes, we all did vote on the PotY. It was in a survey.
