If you use Frink to perform calculations with dates in the future, especially dates in the U.S.A., I would like to strongly urge you to make sure that your...
... I've just checked Sun's website and the latter 3 don't even appear to be available for download yet, so Java 6 is currently your safest bet for date...
If you're looking for some fun programming puzzles to solve, I found out about the "Project Euler" programming contest yesterday: http://projecteuler.net/ It's...
... found ... Cool. I checked it out. Would it be possible to see your solutions to some of these problems? At one time I tried to make a tip and total...
... Since it's a contest of sorts (albeit a friendly one,) I don't feel too comfortable giving out working solutions to the problems. It's too bad, because...
There have been several new Frink releases in the last week or two. These add several new features, and fix a minor bug in the Frink-to-Java mappings. The full...
... Yes, this was very helpful. Thanks for your help and time. Would you be up to showing us how you solved a few of the problems after the contest is over? ...
... I'm not sure that the contest is ever going to be "over", nor will there be a "winner"; they seem like they continually add more problems, and people...
There was an article about MIThenge, the semi-annual alignment of the moon with MIT's Infinite Corridor in today's (Sunday, Feb. 04) Boston Globe. My Frinnk...

... Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. I told myself that I'd have Frink doing its first symbolic algebra by the end of February, and it looks like we're...
Hopefully I don't miss anything and am able to keep the incoming wall o text to a manageable size. So I will attempt a micro-burst transmission. I understand...
If you write programs that use Frink's sun.frink library, I have made some changes that may affect your programs. The functions that perform navigation...
... These are great suggestions! Sorry for the delay in responding. I was hoping that I'd get a chance to build one or two of them, but I've gotten stuck on...
Well, quite Frinkly I'm abit of a knucklehead so I appreciate your patience! I saw that Frink calculates Trig functions but I wanted to be able to pull up the...
... Ah, this is an interesting tradeoff. As I'm building symbolic algebra capabilities into Frink, there are lots of tradeoffs of this type that I'll have to...
... I didn't feel this to be a shortcoming whatsoever btw. I just wanted to create a cheat sheet to work basic newb trig functions. ... /selfbonk thanks for...
... Keeping Frink's file size reasonable is quite important, especially for people who run it on very memory-limited handheld devices. The more functions and...
... AHHhh! I'm starting to catch on now. I also agree that keeping Frink free from clutter is optimal. I started to wonder when I was pressing up/dwn on my...
... I see what you're saying. One could probably check for a control- or alt- or whatever-modifier key when reading the page up and page down keys. I think...
I've made a significant improvement to the integrated help (that is, the question mark operator) in Frink. It now searches through and lists any *function*...
I've made some changes to the addition (+) operator in Frink. It's entirely likely that you'd never notice these changes (except that the code may be slightly...
First off, thanks for creating such an amazing tool! The potential for what can be done with it is truely mind boggling! I recall seeing it in passing about a...
... Thanks, Glen. Hopefully it will come a long way further soon, as Frink learns to do symbolic mathematics, too. ... Frink can handle almost any unit of...
