Scratch

  that sucks

I bet they're updating the server to support the 1.3 applet so the new Scratch can finally be released!

Why is everyone so looking foward to 1.3?  What's new in it that isn't in the previous version?

Can someone tell me please?

AGH! That felt like a bucket of ice water! Yeah actually I'm totally fine with the current Scratch.

Well no, I'm not saying you don't have to be excited - I just wanted to know what everyone was getting excited about?

Although I do agree the current Scratch is decent - then again the PS2 was decent but the PS3 is better.  Updates can never do harm...or so we think...

Yep, there are show and hide blocks for variable counters, a system to stick comments in your project and lists which are variables with multiple values. You can use these lists to save a lot of different variables or record certain events every frame of a simulation, almost like an array. I'm very excited so I can post my projects online.

Hey everyone - YES, we will be offline this weekend...NO, we won't be releasing a new version of Scratch quite yet...

The Media Lab will be doing some updates to the servers here, and since our site is run through the servers, we will be affected.  We should be back up again after the weekend.  And yes, you can always create projects offline and upload them once we are up and running again 

Hmm..? It's saturday and the website is still online. Is the website going to go offline tommorow then?
