This release is the same C# code I’ve had around for a while. I thought I’d release it so that it was at least preserved for posterity. Maybe it will survive yet; Ruby-Gstreamer seems a little funky and gst# wasn’t broken per se, just the installer.
I just realised that one of the more recent trends to hit web design is a variation upon the Model-View-Controller paradigm well-loved by software coders.
As everyone and his dog knows by now, you have (X)here. Of course, the Javascript behavioral layer is the controller in this case.
Whilst the two paradigms may not quite match, it’s very close. Web page design is becoming very like small-scale traditional coding; admire the people who can write beautiful code whilst still retaining the ability to design beautiful pages.
My exams finished yesterday :D This means I can start doing fun things again, such as coding and going to the pub. That sounds rather geek-like, especially considering the order!
Bluefunk is going to be coded in Ruby. Hopefully should be able to start messing around with that soon. I have to learn ruby as I’ve never used it before. The community around ruby seems to be quite lively and friendly, which should make the process fairly interesting.
Tim Bray writes about the decline of his handwriting. I noticed this happening to my own handwriting. When I started making notes for my exams this year, my scribbles seemed far less legible than I remebered. My first exam was shockingly badly written; in fact, I conciously made an effort to improve for the sake of the markers in later exams!
Maybe I should practice some writing each day to get my hand back into the habit, similar to how children practice their writing. It seems a little silly, but perhaps required. It would be rather sad if my writing were to suffer a shoddy fate; especially when it used to be reasonable, or, at least, legible.
I’m sure that, after writing this rant, I’ll be caught out next post. Still, I try my best.
Over the past month I’ve been revising for exams. Whilst reading, I’ve noticed a tendency to be liberal in applying the humble apostrophe to plurals.
The worst culprits are the subjects for which there are many acronyms and abbreviations. This seems to be a veritable minefield. There are innumerable CA’s, GP’s, GA’s, TSS’s and many other examples.
