Subject matter

On writing. It can be seen that articles are found everywhere, on most websites; anywhere that the written word can be placed. One letter, a singular subject matter, can be expounded and made to balloon into numerous words to present that singular starting thesis and morph into a fully-articulated article. They can take many forms and be rambling, and the World Wide Web seems to be especially abundant with them. I would accept that the Internet is principally powered by articles.

Destination Marketing blogs A thousand words Applications Simple thought Singular topic Concept By people Specific Original idea Lexicon Balloon

The most common end point of many articles would have to be SEO blogs and article directories. Of course, there are other types of content, like pictures and mp3 and software like word processors, and such. Articles are attractive to people and search engines. Which is to admit that they are consciously written with this specific audience in mind. The concept of writing for people is no rocket science. What is not so easy to see is the reason for writing articles for search engines which is another essay altogether. Articles are mainly written by people but they may also be written or written by people and re-written by a machine. Article wizards they call them. A picture may paint a thousand words, We still need words to describe it. A website would have a number of articles in it.

Rudely Aborted

My little Squeak Smalltalk featuring Seaside adventure last year was unceremoniously aborted last year when I could not raise enough funds to keep my website going. It was fun and I learned a lot of things about making a website and making it run. I went to Cagayan de Oro City several times trying to drum up some support for it but to no avail. I thought it was a nice proof of concept but there were no takers.

I did find out that putting up a website is nothing without promotions. This was one of the aspects of websites that I had not really anticipated. One has to promote one's website and that is no mean feat. I started doing web promotions and the results were very encouraging. I stayed in Cebu City for a while but I knew that I would have to make my little experiment be situated in Cagayan de Oro City.

Making money

I am looking forward to remaking my old website which I made using Squeak/Seaside/Magma. This time I will be trying Pier/Magritte. I have been reading up this creation by Lukas Renggli and I hope to start something soon. Whiling my time away from the serious stuff, I stumbled upon mylot.com which totally engrossed me. I joined the discussions and started a few of my own. They say you can make money doing that. Well, if it's true then it is a fun way to make money. I have this to say, I had fun posting about things important to me. They report that I have earned a few cents for my activity. Cool!

Mylot is one way of making money while having fun posting on things you care about.

Smalltalk on Ubuntu

I installed VirtualBox on my Windows PC and installed a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu desktop. The installation of VirtualBox, the creation of the Virtual Machine went without a hitch and so did the installation of Ubuntu Desktop. There is also a download of Ubuntu Server and I wondered about the difference between the two. It turns out that Server is the distro which has LAMP pre-installed which means that you do not have to apt-get install the three tools. Desktop is the version which has the GUI which makes the download somewhat bigger.

I proceeded to install Squeak Smalltalk which also went without a hitch. The only problem was, the repository only had Squeak 3.8 and not the 3.9 that I had used on my windows machine. I shall have to install Squeak 3.9 on a separate directory which involves untarring the download.

Memory leak

The problem of space I tried to solve by buying more memory. When I had bought the memory, it still persisted and I was getting pissed off with myself. I wrote the mailing list and quickly got a diagnosis. It was a memory leak after all. Trying to find a memory leak and plugging it is not so easy. There are a number of reasons why memory leaks. This involves variables that keep on existing even when everything else goes to sleep. Someone suggested looking at global variables but this was not so helpful to me as I never create globals. Very clearly the problem involved something other than global variables. Another point was a recursive method which never ends. I took a look at that but nothing of the sort existed on my code.

I had been using Magma for my persistent objects and I remembered a discussion about sessions lying about un-destroyed. In the back of my mind, I had thought that this might be a source of problem. I just did not realize how quickly it could become a problem. I wrote the Magma mailing list and quickly got a reply from Chris Muller about how to clean up sessions that were left lying around. MagmaSession cleanUp and my problem disappeared.

The Problem of Space

I have been having a bit of a problem regarding space. It all started when Squeak complained that "space is low". I did not think too much about it except for the inconvenience of having to look for more memory. I did try to get some virtual memory but that didn't work. I guess windows does not really use virtual memory the way it is supposed to, that is, use the hard disk as virtual memory. So I got me another gigabyte of RAM which was fine for a very short bit until I got the same message again. So I got another gigabyte of RAM and the problem turned to one of a different type of RAM was needed. There are four slots on my motherboard which are two sets of RAMS of different speeds. So I had to go and replace the third RAM with another type as specified on the motherboard.

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

And it doesn't work. I am thinking that maybe the two slots have to be filled which means that I have to try putting another ram card into the empty slot and see if that will work. The original RAM is DDR2-533 and I have 2 of those. The 2 other slots require DDR-400. This is wierd. It would have been funny if it were not such a pain in the ass.

Seaside and Ching's World

Ching's World runs on Seaside on Squeak. I do not profess to know Smalltalk but I do dabble a little bit in Squeak Smalltalk. Just simple stuff, baby steps. There is no great ambition to create a "killer app", just something to get going like a website. Ching's World owes everything to Squeak and Seaside and all things Smalltalk.

Everyone does uploads and downloads without even thinking about it. I sit and ponder, how is it to be done? I do not know but wrapping my head on these questions brings the answer inevitably to the fore with the help of those who have come before. David Shaffer is to be thanked for his tutourial as well as his personal help in illuminating some obscure (to the uninitiated such as myself) problems.

Like I always say, I am ignorant only once, until I learn how to do it and unless, I hit my head on something hard and unlearn the lesson learned. Bravo! Ching's World. Take your baby steps and grow.
