Post New Requests Here / Re: G-Code to Carvewright File Converter
« on: September 17, 2011, 06:01 PM »
I was a CNC programmer for twenty-five years.  I'd be happy to take a look at the g-code and corresponding Carvewright files, but don't have time to take on a major project.

Some interesting statistics about frequency of earthquake occurrence around the world.

Apparently there are about four quakes a day of magnitude five or greater.  And, those are the ones they know about.

Spartanburg, South Carolina - my house did some very mild swaying, all three open laptop lids flapped a little bit.

It was a strange feeling.

@mrainey: do you have any comments on Creative BASIC versus FreeBASIC (free, Windows, Linux & DOS) and PureBasic (79 euros, but that covers all future updates and Amiga, Linux Windows and MacOS X)?

I haven't worked with either of those.  Creative is easy to learn and surprisingly powerful, but it's Windows-only.

You might enjoy working with Creative BASIC - easily develop GUI applications in an interpreted environment, then create standalone executables.  It costs ten bucks.
