need more review to decompose the system

12.16: pos.addx/meta/need more review to decompose the system:

. what I've been calling addm because it's os-related,

should really be the domain of adda,

since the high-level language should include a portable os .

. as I was blogging addm articles starting back in 0906,

I noticed the naming was not updated for

allignment with the realization that

nearly everything could be done without addm,

so that low-level details were really part of adda

-- only the mechanics of serving bytecode or wordcode

would be the domain of addm .

quality documentation

9.6: news.addx/doc's/good examples:

. according to Xah Lee

here are doc's that co.python's should emulate:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/index.html

http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/Mathematica.html

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hbxc2t98(VS.85).aspx

. it seems to be the oss`culture,

-- Perl, Python, Unix, Apache etc[in the unix anti-cs spirit] --

that their documentation exhibit

jargon abuse, rambling, author [self-promotion], or hodgepodge

but this doesn't apply to Gnu's Not Unix project.

GNU docs are geeky in comparison to the above commercial docs;

but, the GNU project in general (gnupress.org)

has excellent documentation.

.

10.9: adda/doc files:

. instead of having long comments,

have in addition to head and body files

a doc file that includes docs for that unit

wherein you redo the routine in english (your own words) .

google's knol

8.3: mis.addn/net.knol.google.com/shifting url's:

. I had an url at linkedin.com for my knol:

http://knol.google.com/k/philip-torrance/hormonics-the-zone-diet-revisited/q7wcrbfxokxg/3#

but it would give an error now unless I shortened it to this:

http://knol.google.com/k/philip-torrance/hormonics-the-zone-diet-revisited/

. which then expands to .../4#

so I guess that number might be for versioning .

[12.20: later I'd find the numbers are perm's not versions;

get a link from the perm'link widget ! ]

blogging for addx project

6.12: proj"g'code connected to an active blogger:

todo: [done]

. update the source tabs of g'code

to indicate planning is being shown at blogger .

pos:

. be brave and blogger any addx notes that have been proof read,

and that are you're own ideas;

( corollary: rethink how personal notes are copying others' works )

. it's just a blog, if you have something reusable to say,

put that on knowl's .

6.18: proj"update g'code:

. added a blog to each project {addm, adda, addx, adde}

blog: proj's design notes

and ended the summary with:

"(

. there is no code at this time; just a blog .

) .

6.18: proj.addn/net.g'blog/layout changed:

summary:

. found color variations that were more subtle,

and had to stop using the adsense between each entry

because on those ad's, it wouldn't let me change the colors

(loud green titles) .

proc:

. tough finding colors, here is a dark blue: 0606BB ...

then, no: I can't just take the palate they're giving;

except these grey's:

808080 dark grey

e6e6e6 grey

. here is a list of colors

www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_colors.asp

. they taught me to get a feel for the numbers:

the colors go like

ffffff: white(full color),

00000: black(absent color)

when all 3 bytes are the same, that is colorless shade of grey;

then differences in the bytes have this ordering:

red,green,blue

choices for the 2 sites:

e6e6e6 grey background

555555 dark grey text .

. for links, take the text color and

885555 -- redish it for seen-links

555599 -- bluish it for new-links

. for black background (at doc's) things were inverted like so:

aaaaaa -- text

baaaaa -- redish

aaaabc -- bluish

6.23: mis.addn/net.g'blog/importing html:

. the copy from seamonkey code to blog messed up, adding newlines,

try saving the page and then opening with firefox,

then copying the page normally (not by view-copying code)

and see if it saves the links and other html .

[11.29: I didn't say whether it worked?!]

proj.addn/g'blog/tags are not space-delimited keyword lists:

. after finding gadgets and seeing how they would index your tags

I noticed that [atleast without commas in the list]

all the tag.words were treated as one giant tag;

so, instead of treating it like a keywords list,

I renamed all the tags as I would subj names:

{pol, gear mobi trike, gear security, etc} .

6.24: proj.addn/net.g'blogs/layout and color selection:

. change layout and colors on blogs,

figure how to change text colors

. I was at this page and it had some nice blue in it,

http://picasa.google.com/mac/thanks.html

so I looked in the code, and found the numbers for a blue .

. but then -- after I decided the background was too dark

because it made even greys too glaring --

I got a light blue from the pallet

and then to see it better,

I zeroed the lower nibble of each byte: C0D0F0 .

news.addn/net.g'blogs/picassa-powered graphics:

. my picts uploaded for blogger were put into a picassa site here:
