Strength of the Written Word

Upon replying to a blog post on a friend’s private blog, I questioned why I did it, and then I questioned why I blog. The answer seems to be simple, but also a little complicated. The simple of it is that if I were to verbally reply to that friend’s post, what I said may […]

Academic Encouragement

This morning I was asked how I deal with the stress of academics and how I manage to keep things together. The answer I initially had was “I don’t know, I just do it”, but being somewhat distracted from my Cognitive Psychology reading (for the 2nd time in 2 days), I have taken some time […]

Update on GITI.Cookbook

I finally got the base code written so now it is possible to: Add recipes Search by title List categories See recipes by category View recipes I still have to do the following: Add “Edit Recipe” functionality Add “Ingredient search” Refine interface Create side toolbar It is still very basic, but it does work 🙂 […]

RT: Thoughts on Cloud Computing

No matter how robust the server clusters are that operate “the cloud”, things will eventually fail. Even if the cloud itself does not fail, something will, especially those fragile little fiber optic lines that construction workers love to chop in half (btw, even in a cloud world, you still need real buildings, built by strong, […]

Lack of Men in Fitness

I have been browsing DVDs on Amazon as well as in the Columbia House club, looking at various categories. One of the categories I decided to browse was fitness. I notice something quite disturbing to me when looking at them, most of the covers featured women. Why are there no men in fitness? The only […]

Lack of Things “Server Oriented”

I am beginning to feel that the number of “server apps” that are being actively maintained is way too small. There are so many tasks I wish I could defer to my server systems without having to connect to the server system through a graphical method to do. One such task is Flickr uploads. My […]

RT: Hypermasculinity

Random Wiki Article of the day: Hypermasculinity I saw this term in a person’s profile earlier and decided to look it up. It is an interesting concept and I find that I myself am interested in some aspects of hyper masculine art. Psychologically it is a very thought provoking idea, perhaps one that might be […]

The Modules

Module Status Description Address Book Stable Converted from its independent state, Address Book is fully functional with no presently pending issues or incomplete features. The module is however, due for an overhaul to bring it into the GITI space more completed as well as to refine its mission. Bookmarks Dead Module was started a few […]

GITI Cookbook

We’ve all seen a cookbook and there are tons of web-based as well as desktop applications for cookbooks as well. So why would I want to write my own for GITI? First of all, because its GITI, it is MY Personal Information Manager. Second, I like things a little more  custom to the application of […]

Little More Attention to ‘Quick Key’

One of GITI’s least developed features is called “Quick Key”. Basically, it is a shortcut system for GITI. Type your command in the box (a “key” command, not the fully GITI path) and it takes you where you want to go. Unfortunately, they are very simple, and most rely on module functionality to make them […]
