To weaken

The rich and famous life. And its opposite number, the hard life. Does life have to be fantastically famous? Maybe it does. What then? We may live in a mansion, we still die. To control a lot of stocks and bonds, sure would be fine. I couldn't agree more. Not having material possessions, that would not be so cool. Again, pretty simple. I have always imagined that I would never find it hard to partake of the financially independent life. I'm quick enough, I thought. I can take whatever life throws at me and run with it.

A challenge Exists Time on earth

Grow older An obvious fact Run with it To unfold Material possessions Easier Sometimes No one

This is easier when one is young and his whole life before him. What occurs when one begins to grow older and strengths start to weaken? Will the opportunities also stop? No one can see how everything will turn out and everyone dies at one time or another. What is the advantage of living a rich or a poor life? Come to think of it, the cars we desire don't last forever and neither do we.

From the last time

I have not been doing any web work for quite sometime now and I am feeling quite rusty when it comes to things like Websites. I would not be like this if I had not been doing some farming in Cagayan de Oro City. It's just a small farm with some bananas and it is pretty much planted to thes delicious plants which I hope will one day bear delicious fruits.

Like I said, I have been neglecting my web activities and it is about time I spent some time doing some of these activities that I so sorely miss now. I should get me another computer to host some websites. I have more or less decided on running Xen on a dual-core Athlon but I don't have the equipment yet so that is just a plan.

Cagayan de Oro City has been a mixed blessing. I have not really done the thing that I wanted to do which is to get me a project that can earn me some dough. I have learned a few things though which might come in handy in the future.

No Rails, Some Seaside

I have not been doing any Seaside work for a number of months owing to the fact that my little project with the Lotto Pool fell through and I was trying to get something else going but that didn't happen either. So, I was just doing offline stuff which was not really helping me get ahead at all but it did give me some distance from the things that I was trying to do but not succeeding. This may or may not have been good at all but I did get some research done on virtualization.

Anyway, here's Cagayan de Oro City with another one: Cagayan de Oro City. My Cebu City site has made pr1, surprise, surprise. Dumaguete is still in the boondocks as far as Google goes but Dumaguete has made some headway. Check out: Jai Alexander.

Seaside resting

It has been a while since I took down my website written on the Seaside framework of Squeak. This was mainly due to necessity which means it's not permanently off the web, just allosing it to rest for a while. Doing so freed me from the business of trying to figure out what to do with the website and allowed me to turn to other pursuits mainly, checking out what I could do next.

This brought me to virtual machines and their permutations. Little did I realize that there was such a plethora of ideas and implementation of virtual machines existing on the web.

Web Stuff

No one can say that the Internet is boring or that trying to make sense of Internet Programming is tedious. If one is interested in Web Programming, one can have one's pick of different platforms to use. Depending on one's temperament and one's level of expertise, one can usually find a framework that will suit one's temperament. For my part, I researched first before committing to a particular flavor of programming tools. Most of these tools share common properties and capabilities and I do believe that underneath the differences there are legitimate facilities that will justify one's commitment to these tools whatever they may be.

ballet, banking, basketball, baskets, beatles, bipolar-disorder, blogging, bolivia, boracay, buddhism, building, bukidnon, bulldogs, burma, business-finance, business-jets, butterfly, cagayandeoro, camera-phone, cancer-treatment, cars-trucks,cats, cebucity, celebration, cell-phones, censorship, cherry, china, chingsweb, chocolate, cholera, christ, christianity, coffee, communication, computer-programming, condos, cooperatives, cosmetic-surgery, country-music, credit-cards,

For my part, I chose Smalltalk after having read up and tasted the flavors of different object-oriented languages. Smalltalk comes with the benefit of the depth and insight of Alan Kay and the scientists of PARC who made possible these tools that make programming not only fun but cool as well.

Come into these sites: Squeak Smalltalk Adventure, The Ordinary Life, Politics: Divine Right of Kings and Presidents, Creation, Life, Consciousness.

Reading about the early days of Smalltalk helps to bring home the sense of how things were in those days and the bold vision of what ought to be, the vision that has now made simple and ordinary the different tools like visual widgets and objects that model the real world.

Our favorites are: Ching's World, Green Tea, Dumaguete, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Moira Trinity Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Cebu are all in the Philippines in the world of Ching.

Seaside and Ching's World

Ching's World. Essentially, an experiment, a test balloon, a toy website which had very modest ambitions. Doing static html for a while gets one tired and eyes red from having to check where tags should go and checking if everything lines up correctly.

Ching's World was an attempt to learn Seaside. Learning is easier and accomplished faster if done hands-on style. Merely theorizing and imagining what might be a nice page does not help one to learn web programming. Simple things like rendering an image was a challenge when working on Ching's World.

Cebu City cries out for content. There is much to be done and one can get overwhelmed very easily by the idea of capturing Cebu City on a web page. How is it to be done? What aspect of the city needs to be highlighted?

Dumaguete sees the world with gentle eyes and this is how she likes it. Cagayan de Oro City is more in-your-face. The Night Cafe is one such thing. It bites your ass when you try to navigate Divisoria on weekends. While Dumaguete lulls you with the gentle slapping of the waves on the seawall of the Boulevard, Dumaguete challenges your tolerance when metal vie against metal in making progress an inch at a time. Cagayan de Oro is less forgiving to the pedestrian and motorist alike on weekends.

Slowly Getting There

Learning Seaside for me involved fits and starts, nothing smooth or steady, just regular difficulty dogging my heels which is good because it opened my mind to some very basic and fundamental questions regarding web programming. Where Rails impressed me with its mastery of its database magic, I could not quite get what I had to do to write a simple webpage. The part where it creates folders for you and builds scaffolding was all very nice and neat but all I wanted was to be able to say "Hello World".

When I finally figured out Seaside I found that all you needed to do to say "Hello World" was to override #renderContentOn: and make your html statements. There are Seaside equivalents to HTML tags such that

"Hello World"

would be written as html paragraph: 'Hello World'. within the #renderContentOn:html method. Everywhere else was just regular Smalltalk programming.If you really wanted HTML-style code you could say html html: '

Some text

' and it would be rendered just the way you would expect it to which is

"Hello World"

.
Ching's World was built on Seaside. It is less a website than a journey to knowing how to make a website. The Philippine cities of Cagayan de Oro and Dumaguete take center stage on Ching's World
