Dented Reality Notes

Thanks to changes in the Blogger.com API, AvantBlog appears to be failing to post on all blogs now. I plan on re-writing the Blogger API code that I have available for download which will be used to upgrade AvantBlog and hopefully bring it up to speed with the recent changes.

In the meantime, sign up to the mailing list to be the first to find out when it's available and working properly again.

Thanks to those who have emailed me to let me know that it wasn't working :)

I don't know what the heck prompted me to actually start this project now, but I have started coding/planning on version 3.0 of webpad. The first release will be webpad 3.0 Personal Edition, which will only have a single user function, and will require manual modification of a configuration file for the username/password and other options. Following that, I will also release a separate, more powerful version, which for now I am calling webpad Pro 3.0. This version will include multi-user support, a complete administration and installation interface, and will be targetted towards power- users and businesses.

webpad Personal Edition will remain free for everyone to download and use, but webpad Pro will attract a small licensing fee which is yet to be finalised. I will also be slightly changing the balance of features in each version, so you will find that some features you would like to be available may only be in the Pro version, although I will keep as much as I can in the Personal Edition.

Well, as part of REA11, I am reading Sophie's World, which so far is ok, even if it's a little dry. I'd much rather be reading this than a text book any day. One interesting question I'd like to ask though, is "why hasn't Sophie called the police to report the stalker/harrasser who clearly knows where she lives, and too much about her lifestyle/patterns to be comfortable???"

The book is a fiction story intended to teach the reader about the history of philosophy, so far covering Ancient Greek philosophers and heading towards the modern way of thinking ('rationalism'). I must say that I didn't expect to be doing a unit about philosophy, but it could be a lot worse than it has been so far :)

I'm looking forward to when the theory catched up to 'current thinking,' since obviously that's a bit more in-context for us to look at.
