In my long life experience at programming, the boss gives you example
code from an older competitor and asks you to be an editor : comment it,
modify it and get it to do what he wants it to do.
Currently, working with computer algebra recipes, I am given a recipe
which I also can edit : comment, modify and get it to do what the
problem requires.
In each new program, there is a bit of nerve that must be gotten and
inertia to overcome .
From the movies, I learned that squeak is dynamic, so the tutorial
movies show, as you are in a virtual world, you can edit it "live".
The speaker has an aluminum powerbook as I do and does command s to save
the world.
This sounds super to me.
;-)
I was just watching a bit of General Zod in Smallville, you see, and I
don't like General Zod .
OK. So, the movies might lead us to the confidence to start building
stuff and we learn by modifying the objects of our worlds.
Everything's dead at memorial day weekend and I'll have some time on my
hands. There's sunday and monday, but Rome much less whole virtual
worlds weren't built in a day. We'll see.
I'm not working for anyone on this : I don't give anyone a schedual on
this, that spoils the fun of it with fear of not meeting deadlines and
losing my most precious posession as a scientist, programmer and would
be poet, my credibility, the value of my lifelong investment .
