Knowte Pages

Did you know that plain HTML text areas such as those on the Knowte Pages can have there contents saved to SpringPad using the SpringPad browser plugin?

I will not work for a local HTML page on your own machine, but it will take notes from a plain empty HTML such as that at the Knowte set.

I only have three sets of 4 notes linked - if you would like more, send a note.

To test that the pages contain only text HTML and no hidden frames or scripts, use the View Page Source option of your web browser's menu.

If your note is private, be sure it is set that way on SpringPad.

Seduced by kanji

The following mentions of 'seduce' occur in the kanjidic2 entries for the basic jōyō Japanese kanji:

• 丸, 4E38,  830, round, full (month), perfection, -ship, pills, make round, roll up, curl up, seduce, explain away
• 慰, 6170, 1008, consolation, amusement, seduce, cheer, make sport of, comfort, console
• 唆, 5506, 1284, tempt, seduce, instigate, promote
• 召, 53EC, 1387, seduce, call, send for, wear, put on, ride in, buy, eat, drink, catch (cold)
• 誘, 8A98, 1870, entice, lead, tempt, invite, ask, call for, seduce, allure

While only the last three are clearly to be tagged as "seduce", the first two seem to tell you something about the culture - especially the second !  He says he stops by to cheer her up and the gossip says otherwise.

You can find all 5 on my plain-HTML no-scripts page at kanji.aule-browser or if you get the lovely and free Hanaminzo font HanaMinA you can see them in that font here.

Because those pages are just plain HTML, you will have to search using CTRL-F in your browser.

note: the hex numbers above are the UCS or UNICODE values and the next digit is an index that is also used in the Curl applet for learning the joyo kanji set.

n.b. personally, I like the alternative order used at http://kanji.aule-browser.com/kanjidic2-joyo-hz-3.html

Pharo + Swazoo + Magritte with Iliad

If you are new to the Pharo branch of Squeak Smalltalk, you may want to try Iliad as a web framework.

Start by loading in Swazoo and then Magritte into the Monticello package browser by first adding the HTTP repository or by opening the Pharo local package-cache in Monticello and then loading the MCZ files. You will need at least Iliad Core and IliadSwazoo.

To test that all was well I started first with a test against an image with just Swazoo and Magritte by running

SwazooServer demoStart.
" go to http://localhost:8888 "
SwazooServer demoStop.

in a workspace and then

SwazooIliad startOn: 3008.
" goto http://localhost:3008/examples/counters/counter "
SwazooIliad stop .

My task is to create a Curl hierarchy which is an alternative to the XHTML and JSON so as to generate Curl web content instead of HTML. So far, so good ...

(that's of course Curl, the web content language, from curl.com and not the case-inverted homonym "c_U_R_L" from haxx_DOT_se )

The Aule Browsers will be able to tie into www.cl1p.net using Curl CSPD.

For now, many Aule have the Notes action button enabled an pointing at cl1p.net

Watch for the wikipedia browser at wp.aule-browser.com to get the first benefits.
