[OPN]------------------------------- HIGH ABOVE THE ROCK RIVER | ------------------------------------ From The Editor """"""""""""""" by Lyle Syverson email:lutefisk837 at sbcglobal dot net Rendezvous With Nostalgia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was one of those mornings where the rising sun, striking the window shade, cast a delightful amber glow throughout the bedroom. This was going to be a great day for a day trip. We were going to the White Pines Dinner Theater... the program was "Jukebox Memories, Songs of the 40's and 50's". Since this time period included courtship, marriage, and the birth of a son, this day promised to be bathed in nostalgia for my wife and I. We left early to allow time to take a less traveled route along the East bank of the Rock River. The scenery was enhanced by the white cotton clouds drifting slowly across the deep blue sky. We arrived at White Pines State Park an hour early... allowing time for a walk in the woods before the noon dinner. The wildflowers were glorious, especially the lavender blooming wild geraniums. The buildings housing the restaurant, dinner theater, gift shop, and guest cabins were built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 30's. The rustic log cabin style blends well with nature. The buffet dinner was delicious. The laid back atmosphere with guests seated at tables of eight encouraged people to become acquainted with the strangers seated at the same table. The program lived up to our expectations. The dessert, a delicious raspberry cobbler, was served during the intermission.

For example, if you have a program that, during interrupt handling, realizes that an alert needs to appear to warn the user of something, you can't open that alert right then -- it's not safe to make most Toolbox calls from within an interrupt handler. So you call the Scheduler and ask it to run a routine of yours that will handle displaying the alert. The Scheduler makes sure the routine is called at a safe time to do whatever you might need to do. The Toolbox makes pretty extensive use of it. The problem is that only four tasks can be registered as pending at a time, and it's possible to try to add a task and not have enough room for it. That can be a big problem if some major situation needs to be scheduled to be handled.

Don't forget to plan ahead! Here, as usual, are the rules: KansasFest 2006 HackFest Rules 1. Contest begins at 7:00 AM on Wednesday, July 19, and ends at 7:00 AM on Saturday, July 23 so that judging can begin. The winners will be announced during the Saturday morning sessions. Entries submitted late won't be considered. Entries may be done by individuals or teams; however, individual achievement counts. 2. Three judges will be selected by the KFest committee to judge the competition; at least one of them will be available at all times, to provide assistance and judgement calls. At least one judge will be a non-programmer. 3. Entries must be written entirely during the allotted time; no source code -- printed or on any form of computer-readable media -- may be used (although sample source code printed inside standard and acceptable reference materials is allowed), and the program must run on an Apple II model present at KFest. 4. Any version of any development environment and programming language may be used; however, there may not be any libraries, header files, or macro sets used that aren't standard-issue for that version of the development environment or programming language. 5. Programs can't require unusual additional software or hardware; it's up to the judges to decide what constitutes "unusual." The participant should ask in advance. 6. Programs can't take unfair advantage of system addons written in advance for the sole purpose of easing the work to be done during the contest period. Any extensions or other system addons used by an entry must have been released to the general public at least three months prior to the contest date. 7. Entries will be judged on completeness, cleverness, and the somewhat vague "cool" factor. Entries don't have to be useful if they're otherwise impressive, and they don't have to be "finished." 8. All entry programs are the property of the creator, and do not have to be released to the general public at any time; however, we hope that entries will be distributed by some means (whether for free or otherwise) when ready. However, entries may be described or discussed, including screen shots (where applicable), by the KFest committee for promotional purposes, or by legitimate Apple II community press. The following lists are not necessarily complete lists of everything allowed; these are to be taken as "givens." If it's not on the list, please ask for confirmation. Acceptable software: System software Development environment (no customizations) GSBug Nifty List Marinetti Exerciser ORCA/Debugger, Splat! DesignMaster, Foundation, Genesys, ResLin Talking Tools Spectrum, ProTERM, ANSITerm Acceptable hardware: Apple II computer, monitor, disk drives, hard drives CD-ROM drive, tape drive Hard disk controller card Sound card (speakers/headphones/etc) Accelerator card (any speed) RAM card Accepted reference material: All official Apple reference materials (including manuals, technical notes, and file type notes). Reference manuals included with development tools and software. Commercially-available reference manuals. Any other hardware, software, or reference material needs the approval of the judges in advance. When in doubt, ask the judges.

"It is an honor to have this opportunity to reflect on where the Apple II community has come in the past few years," said Shepherd, who also gave the 2002 keynote, "and to help chart a direction for it to continue." Past guest speakers have included Apple II inventor Stephen Wozniak and Syndicomm founder Gary Utter. KansasFest, the only computer conference dedicated to the Apple II computer, returns this year to Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. Last year's convention saw the successful launch of KansasFest on a campus that brought with it the continuation of old traditions and the launch of many new ones, including the Discathalon, which are sure to return this year. Shepherd kicks off the event with his keynote speech, followed by an official reception. The following days will consist of official events including informational sessions, the KFest Kookout, the HackFest programming challenge, and more. Friday night will feature a catered dinner during which a retrospective of KansasFest pasts will be presented, before the convention officially concludes the following day with the annual Vendor Fair, at which attendees buy, sell, and trade new and used hardware and software. This year's vendors will be making available the wares of Syndicomm, The ByteWorks, Nibble Magazine, and more. KansasFest 2006 is set for Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri, from July 18th through July 23rd. Registration information is available online at or by calling InTrec Software, KFest's official sponsor, at (602) 992-1345. Registration payments are being accepted online via PayPal, providing attendees with the most payment choices and convenience possible. KansasFest, the Apple II summer gathering also known as KFest, was originally hosted by Resource Central, has been brought to you by the KFest Committee since 1995. Each year is like no other.
