ear reader!
have been silent for too long. But there has been a lot going on in
y life since the last posts. For one I have intensified my under-
tanding of toki pona.
even managed to get out some poetry, which I will collect at [0].
he current two poems are:
``
an lili mi
an lili mi utala.
an lili mi pona.
an lili mi pana sona.
ina tawa seme.
ina lukin ala lukin e ma pona.
ina kama lon ni.
an lili mi o lape.
li li pona.
ipi lili
ipi lili li kama ni
na li moku e kili
ili li ike
anpa wan sike
a pipi lili li moli
``
lso besides that I am in the process to translate the children's
ook 'Lauren Ipsum' [1] into german. I will probably ask some of you
or advice and proof reading but since this is most likely a highly
llegal activity under copyright law and others I will do it in
rivate.
nother thing is that I have been keeping a looong reading list
aiting, so I will now take books and reading material to work and
se my lunch break to get done some reading. The work place features
ome nice couch like reading spots and I should make use of them.
meant to take part in the excellent scifi project of tomasino [2].
ut I don't have the time and energy to do a lot for that
nfortunately.
rogramming wise I have been further exploring and writing my
ersonal finance tracker in smalltalk. The working title for that is
Muffin' and as soon as I learn how to publish monticello packages, I
ill put them on this server so you can read along if you like.
t is based on a Morphic toolkit called Pheno[3] from the HPI SWA
roup. I like its looks so far and it is easily customizable.
also seem to have groked the Dependency model and so one can see
ransactions updating themselves life! It's magic!
malltalk is also the first environment where I have seen Test Driven
evelopment to actually work. I blame the tight integration of test
unner, debugger and editor for that.
n a personal note I am no longer an amazon customer. Amazon has forced
e out of their service. A couple of weeks ago all my orders have been
lagged as suspicious activity. Noone could tell me why this has happened.
he same payment method has been working since I first bought from Amazon in 200…
hey suggested using a credit card as payment method, which I refused
nd so they told me I could get pre-paid vouchers in shops instead.
o after getting that poor proposal I immediately cancelled my
ccount.
he effects on that? Well I have found other resellers that will not
equire any prepayments, bills upon delivery, package delivery
ersons seem to handle packets with more care if they don't have
amazon' written on it. My local bookstore gets books faster for me
han amazon. And for most stuff I don't pay shipping costs.
o thanks for that move Amazon, my money is probably spent better
lsewhere. And it is more comfortable too.
