It may just be me.. but I simply refuse to use software that is based on code that is by now over five years old

I can almost guarantee that the OS you're using runs on code that is much older than five years.  Ever think about that?  =]

Just wondering.. any idea on whether it is still being worked on? Of course it may be too soon to ask this.. but if there is one thing I have a hard time doing it's using software that is not supported anymore.

Yes, it is.

Yes, I tried it and it was very good. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to download the web content of the RSS news items in an offline cache, to read offline while commuting ; did that situation evolve ?

I've no idea as I don't use the offline mode.  Apologies.

My favourite feed reader is RSS Bandit.  It has a synch feature that I love...makes reading feeds between work and home much much easier.

Living Room / Re: 10 minute video of Japanese Rube Goldberg Machines

I wonder if those Japanese texts means "Am I cool or what?"

No, the text is ピタゴラ (pitagora) スィッチ (suiichi).  This is Japanese (Katakana) for Pythagoras Switch...the Japanese term for a Rube Goldberg machine like the ones in the video.

Developer's Corner / Re: FBSL - A simple Web browser

I'm not really sure what your looking for

Apologies, I should have been more clear.  Basically, I want to disable sounds in that example web browser above.  I did some research and came across the link I provided so I was curious to know if one could apply those flags to stop the downloading of sound files.  I can make the flags do what I want in VB but I'm not sure how to go about it in FBSL.

Is there a way to set control flags in FBSL when using that MSHTML call?  Specifically, the downloading of sounds as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/editing/mshtmleditor.asp


The WebBrowser Control gives you control over what it downloads, displays, and executes. To gain this control, you need to implement your host's IDispatch so it handles DISPID_AMBIENT_DLCONTROL. When the WebBrowser Control is instantiated, it will call your IDispatch::Invoke with this ID. Set pvarResult to a combination of following flags, using the bitwise OR operator, to indicate your preferences.

DLCTL_DLIMAGES, DLCTL_VIDEOS, and DLCTL_BGSOUNDS: Images, videos, and background sounds will be downloaded from the server and displayed or played if these flags are set. They will not be downloaded and displayed if the flags are not set.
