if the fb community decides to do a subdomain on the fb server then who ever administers it has a much higher responsibility then if it were kept on blue host.

basically what i'm saying here is that doing server stuff is a thing in itself and i wouldn't want it to jeopardize the fb server.

there are many bright individuals here but it's not just a matter of being bright, there's time to consider. yes time can be shared but only if orchestrated by a key player(s)

i would vote paul doe to orchestrate as he is capable and generous or other for similar reasons as they have heart and mind.

While I would like to acknowledge that I think that the CAD program Owen has written is great piece of work then I think that he does not necessarily needs his own sub-domain - if so then should every Tom , Dick and Harry that wrote a big program in FB. I have already suggested to the Admins here that they should feature the files of Owens project, I suggested a page or at at least a download spot as it suits the Admins here.

also forgot to mention that yesterday i was working on getting SSL set up for the the fbcadcam forum (which is on the dot net domain). it should all be working now so people can get user name / password / account authentication via email and so forth...

the idea of running a forum for fbcadcam is 2 part.
1. using the program
2. writing macros
and possibly multi part
if and when the CAM features are coded.
The CAD and CAM parts will invite conversations from many a folk's that are not necessarily interested in programming and or FB but becuase fbcadcam is centered around FB (primarily because the macro language is syntactically compatible) then some of those folks may end up here.

any how something to keep in mind. CNC is huge.

a dream come true would be if the fb community could somehow make money with this idea and donate it to cure cancer and help the homeless

sorry for the multi posts.
but im just saying that may be a good reason to keep it separate from the fb servere.
i mean, the potential is there (but fbcadcam would need a complete rewrite for something like that i think)

Here is another mymod.
(one line)

Code: Select all

#include "crt.bi"

#define mymod2(x,y) y*frac(x/y)

Function mymod(n As Double,m As Integer) As Double
   Select Case n
      Case 0
         mymod = 0
      Case CDbl(m)
         mymod = CDbl(m)
      Case Else
         If InStr(Str(n),"e")<>0 Then
            mymod=0
         Else
            If InStr(Str(n),".")<>0 Then
               dim as double _mymod
               _mymod=Val(Str(val(Mid(Str(n),1,InStr(Str(n),".")-1)) Mod m)+"."+Mid(Str(n),InStr(Str(n),".")+1))
               if n<0 and _mymod>-1 then  '' in this case, the sign is lost
                  _mymod *= -1
               end if
               mymod = _mymod
            Else
               mymod = (n Mod m)
            EndIf
         End If
   End Select
End Function
do
    var x=rnd*500-rnd*500,y=int(rnd*200-rnd*200)
    print fmod(x,y),mymod2(x,y),mymod(x,y)
    sleep
    loop until inkey=chr(27)

Just letting the community know that Owen has turned the reigns over to me. Owen's wishes will be followed and I consider it an honor to help.

Off to take wifey to do monthly shopping... :'c(
