Notes: My most active project is Small Linux. Since 1998 it has been the most active version of Linux for x86 boxes with less than 5 meg of ram. It has become a project to support people, schools and areas with older PC equipment to use Linux.

Need to get more translating done. Would like to have Japanese translation.
I find it, for me, the best concept mapper, mind mapper. But, I hesitate to fire it up each day. It seems like such a big app. It is like launching the space shuttle. And I kind of lose my place in the different nodes of the maps I have going. I have a daily node, for my daily diary and notes. I have a ToDo node for the things I want to remember to get to. I have several Ruby programming nodes. I have an ebook node, local harddisk file node, contact phone and email node, and a book writing node.
I love the way it works and the reports it can generate. But perhaps its beatiful graphical layout is a drawback also? So it occured to me to take the limited text forms of rwdtinker to make a concept mapper. I will call it a Dialog Mapper. I am not sure of the exact program logic, But the idea is simple, I think. Record links and connections between ideas and information. Be able to find the ideas and trace forward and backward between links. Be able to output the information in useful ways.
This is a mashup between wikis, outliners, mind mapping and harddisk directories.
Look for the rwddialogmapper coming soon at http://rubyforge.org/projects/rwdapplications/

The idea of this ruby project is to build simple web forms to communicate with programs.
I have always had concerns about gui code interspersed with program logic. It is difficult to read someone elses program. And it is hard to port. With so much attention to MVC now, I think program construction is moving in the right direction.
I first worked on rwdtinker when ruby on rails was first being developed. It is a small simple gui system for those quick projects you need to get working in a few minutes. RwdTinker is meant for personal use on your own computer. Say you want to write a quick program to track movies you watched. It should only take a few minutes to handle gui portion.
Tinker was my wife's idea for the name. It is useful for tinkering together programs.
I have been so busy with ruby tinker coding I haven't read the book I picked up from the library. Null-A Continuum by John C. Wright. This is a modern update of the old World of Null-A books by A.E. Van Vogt based on General Semantics.

my poster title is:
"Rule Tables for Animal Response"
Flying from Los Angeles on July 18
In this presentation I propose a model for calculating animal choices using rule tables that includes high levels of uncertainty.
