Be welcomed, Ben. This is the right place for the G2...although most people are using MANY different tools. If you don't see lots of activity in an area, start posting, and you'll see people react.

Welcome aboard, Ben. Glad to have you. Congrats on your new G2. You'll love it, I'm sure. This is the right place for that. There are several MAX/MSP users here too.

Thanks Guys!
Ive been reading alot through the G2 forums, and yes I've definatly fallen for this synth!
Pity I dont get much time to expore it fully these days... me knowing that its sitting at home when Im at work trawling through code is very distracting indeed! 
Im sure once ive come across something I cant achieve on it I'll be able to find the relevant info / help here! -- very soon then! 
Really nice site btw Mosc! do you know how to set up Firefox with the RSS feed you have here? I dont see the little RSS logo come up at the bottom of the browser to subscribe to it! |

Thanks. I don't know anything about the RSS logo and subscription thing. Can you enlighten me?

Well... basically within firefox it allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds so you can bring up a list of articles (guess it would be topics or forums in this sites case) within your bookmarks...
This site has it set up (some really good articles on there for web based technology and design btw!):
http://www.alistapart.com/
Subscribing to the RSS feed is as simple as right clicking the RSS logo (this is found bottom right of the browser, next to where the progress bar for the page load is) and it dumps all of the articles held within the RSS feed into your bookmarks for easy access on subscription...
Very cool touch!
After doing a little research I think I've found how you can do this. Like the CSS is referenced with a <link /> tag, so is the information about the rss feed:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Electro-Music.com" href="http://electro-music.com/forum/rss.php?c=10&t=1" />
As you are dynamically creating these pages, you could populate the rss.php's "c" and "t" variables depending on which forum you are in...
Hope you can find this useful! |

Thanks, Ben. I do find this useful. I'll check out that site and get this implimented. It may be a while because I'm extremely busy with other activities right now...

Ben, I don't use Firefox, just Mozilla. I like the Mozilla email client. I have been reluctant to move to Thunderbird and Firefox because of the beta designations. Do you think they are robust enough?

I really gotten into firefox, its just gotten out of beta I think? Its well worth a look for sure. Renders web pages very fast, a large library of very useful extensions (fpt client, calender).
Thunderbird I love too... very helpful adaptive junk mail filters. After a few mail downloads its seems to pick up on most of the junk ok.
To be honest even though they have been in a beta phase for a while it didnt seem like they were at all. |

So, do I get this right? You put that code in the HEAD of the html, and Firefox will pick it up and put a RSS button on your browser so you can subscribe?

Well, well, well, well, well...
I installed Firefox. I thought I would be just waisting time on a distraction, but no, this is worth it. It's much faster than Mozilla or IE. I'm pretty surprised by this. I thought electro-music.com was only able to run just so fast. Looks like my browser had something to do with performance. 
I'm not ready to deliver a review on this or anything, but so far it is a pleasant surprise.
BTW, Foxfire is no longer beta! The current version is 1.0 Preview.

Yup thats pretty much it. I did a test on one of your pages, seems to work great, but i could'nt attach it to the post unfortunatly.
Im glad you found installing Firefox worthwhile. and looking forward to future thoughts on this browser!
