Bug in Ical
There was a bug in the Ical sub-application that made conferences shorter by 1 day! It is now fixed and everything should be working now.

Conferences in your Calendar manager.
We’ve been playing with the calendar of the conferences section at the AssystComplexity Portal and we created an iCalendar so yeu can subscribe to the iCalendar in your computers.
The address for the iCalendar is http://assystcomplexity.eu/short/assyst-conferences.ics and you can subscribe it with several programs like iCal, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Entrourage or even in the Google Calendar Service.
See the list of software and services that can use iCalendar subscriptions.

Web Portal Maintenance
Today we’ll be doing some maintenance in the website and because of that it might be down from time to time. Also because of that we changed the blog location (now at blog.assystcomplexity.eu) to an external server, to make it accessible even when the main server is down! We hope that the server will be down for a short time, but we promise to work hard to fix everything quickly.
13:32 - We’ve finished the updates! Everything should be running smoothly now. If anything is broken, please send us a message or leave a comment here.
WE DO SEARCH
We just deployed a search functionality in the Portal. It allows for quick access to the news and conferences results and we will be extending this in the near future to the community and the digital library sections as soon as we roll out those features.
You can use it in the front page entering your queries in the right form. Also you can access directly at assystcomplexity.eu
NEW DYNAMIC LOGO
We just launched a new version of the portal with a Logo that is radically different from the previous one. The previous couldn’t be used as Assyst doesn’t have the copyright of some graphical elements present and so we started creating a new one.
The idea behind this logo is that it is dynamic. The L-system isn’t always equal. I imagine that it conveys some sense of dynamics but keeps some reproducibility. We’ve been experimenting with Processing as it allows for good visualization of the ideas and we are testing several ideas for it.
The main idea is that it should have a static text with some dynamic behavior in the background. What do you think? Send your suggestions via de the contact form.
THE LORENZ RAINMAKERS
We are starting this complex system… and we’ve decided that the Blog should be something informal, something to give out the behind the scenes of the portal development. With little pieces of how things were done, our mistakes, and also our small vitories.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do making it happen.
