Yeah, right, it's Spiff talking for once. | |

Yet another blog. Yet another piece of technology to serve humans. When will technology learn how to serve humankind better? |

I am kind of a private guy when it comes to the internet. So I have no idea why people who knit feel like they have to have a blog or read other's knitter's blogs. Maybe it's social. Maybe blogging is a general trend. Maybe everyone would like to live forever and a blog is a good place to start if you rely on Google for a little help in that matter. I guess little aliens like to live forever too, but only after they knitted something cool and blogged about it. And she's my little alien, so here goes FuzzyLogicKnitsDotCom.
That's why I'm only at level 50.
Really, I should be killing orcs or gridding honor points at this time of the night in order to afford a nicer guild tabbard, but after a last fix (a BUG fix!) I had to test this blog and see what I could really do with it. Although...I kinda wrote part of that software. I should know...
But I digress...
The Blog World vs. World of WarCrack
The non-techies might want to go get a little pain relief medication before reading on...So for those who wonder, this blog software has been built on top of a JSP web application called Pebble. It is what is usually called a "derivative work" (a "fork" would be more accurate, but this sounds too culinary to mention in this blog's context. If you're getting hungry, see "Go Eat Something, Dammit" in the sidebar and come back with a good snack for us, please). We're using all the coolest Java APIs around (told you, aspirin helps. A bottle of good red wine would be better...Chateau Margaux for me, please...).
Right about now, you might ask,
"Why would you do all that just to have her blog? just let her use blogmebabe dot com or something. We've been waiting and you're taking way too damned long..."
Wellll...for a definition of "Geek", please click here.
I am, however, worse than a geek. Definition: "won't even level to 60 because he wants to code the 'perfect' blog software."
But again, I digress...
Since we have our own machinery at home and the office is heated only by CPU activity, FuzzyLogicKnits ended up being an in-house project "just for the fun of it." (Please don't ask how many computers we have - that's too many. We can only count them in binary code and that gets confusing. Sometimes we think we have 0 computers and need to buy more.) So this "fun little project" allows Spiff to get full control of what is happening, and better get an opportunity to rule the world. Compared to playing lottery or bingo, writing code, managing DNS names, and running web servers at home is just as good a start.
The only bad thing about this is if anything gets fucked up, there is no other tech support to shout at but me. Unless I develop a convenient schizophrenia. Luckily, the little alien loves both of me.
Fuzzied enough? Feeling logical? You can help!
Of course, this is all about open source and if you are interested in getting involved in creating a quality blog web application, please visit our Sourceforge project. This version is actually a boiled-down version of Pebble but we are planning to write a new open-source application with the knowledge acquired while developing FuzzyLogicKnits, using enteprise-class Java/JSP frameworks such as the Spring framework or Hibernate.Does this sound sexy to you? Leave my wife alone for a minute or two and come help make The Blogging Software Of The Century. But come back and visit her, please. She's the nicest person in the universe. See you there!
