November Novelist

Tom · Krehbiel/News · Thursday, Nov 5, 2009, 6:22 PM · 215 words · from atomapi · shorturl · 6 comments ·

I’ve joined NaNoWriMo and will be writing a novel this month (NaNoWriMo is a “contest” where you try to write a 50,000 word novel between November 1 and November 30). I almost tried it a couple of years ago but didn’t go through with it. This year I’m going to win!

How about "The Adventures of Crayola Clan". Another trip down memory lane is in order. :)

Tom said,

It has to be fiction. :)

I've always wanted to be the evil genius, can I play the evil genius?

Call me Dr. Red.

Thanks :)

Sean/Red said,

Oh, and can it be a musical too? Cause I've always wanted to sing too.

A Peek at Google Web Toolkit

Tom · Krehbiel Tech · Development/Java, Technology/Google · Sunday, Nov 1, 2009, 8:20 AM · 462 words · from atomapi · shorturl · 9 comments ·

So I'm looking over this Google Web Toolkit thing since someone around here thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I hate to disappoint but it's conceptually the same as the much-hated ASP.NET WebForms - it's a framework to abstract HTML and Javascript away from the programmer. But instead of .NET and Visual Studio, Google's version is based on Java and Eclipse.

You sound a little biased. :)

The bundling/spriting/whatever thing *is* cool, but it's not unique to GWT.

Pssst: http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/MaskedEdit/MaskedEdit.aspx - it's actually one of the easier AJAX-y things to do in ASP.NET. :)

I'll still take a look at GWT, but I really wish they (Google and/or Microsoft) would stop trying to force everything into HTML+Javascript and develop a whole new way to deliver managed code to a client.

Sean/Red said,

I'd just like to point out, I've been saying that for years. HTML just needs to die.

Sean/Red said,

Ahh clarification: our thinclient as we know it needs to just die :)

Tom said,

I say go back to VT100 terminal emulation! Actually now that I think about it HTML isn't bad as a layout model, it just stinks as a platform for interactive applications.

Hi! My name is Tom. Thanks for visiting my site.

I've been a professional software developer since 1990. Before the dot-com bust, I was one of the founders of an Amiga software startup that produced image processing software.

Now I develop .NET web applications and data interfaces to support a large Business Intelligence data warehouse. In my spare time, I write this blog and work on PHP and Android development.
