Small Biz A

Just got the first order of 20 items for the first batch. This is good, I hope this is just the start. I'm a bit excited that the item generated some interest. Take it easy, dude. Don't count the chicks while they're still eggs.

Another Round

Just got a call from the last client, they wanted to cover some bugs they saw during testing plus additional features implemented. Will come back on Monday and start digging code. Better prepare myself for trench coding again.

Flash Clone

Played around with several toolkits and found an interesting feature in Qt ver 3.0.3 which is the canvas object. The object has some similarities with polygons and splines found in Flash, plus these polys were clickable and draggable. Hmmm, could this be the start of another time waster? Maybe so.

Mozilla Code

Did some codewalk on the parser and the DOM, tried to figure out how objects are ordered in the object model. The technique in there can pretty much apply to any application, though. It's definitely worth studying so I can make apps using that framework.

Idea #45

Just floated the idea of selling the house and instead get a small one located in a large land. My plan is to become a part time farmer, planting various kinds of crops plus some animals to go along with it. I don't know if it will sink or float, though. I might as well try.

Cities and suburbs are fine, almost everybody loves to live there. I guess I'm a bit of person who see nature as some sort of big cathedral where high-tech gadgets only need water and sun to run. That's where I usually get my ideas from, though. High Tech is simply nature, the things around that are taken for granted are really the gadgets. A field of roses with some perennials splashed in there would probably be the best I could probably see.

GTK, Gimp

Also downloaded GTK and Gimp to look at some of the code, I would like to know the implementation of the PDB and probably find a use for it later.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
