my-todo is a project based on Google App Engine and Gears.

Basically, it comes from experiment on Google Gears. Google Gears is a browser extension, which allows browsing site without network.

It first looks simple and ugly. And it's not as wide as normal web site. But soon I found it fits for the width of Firefox sidebar. Firefox has a sidebar for the bookmarks, and it also could be used for loading web pages.

I hacked some javascript so that when you add my-todo to the bookmark and click it, the page will be loaded in the sidebar.

I also found the width of page maybe fits for the mobile such as iPhone. I custom the page, it now looks great. I wished it would be OK for GPhone, but I can't test it.

The design philosophy I followed is KISS. And I know there are hundreds of similar project, strong and complex enough in the world. I love simple things, so I decide to never add 'friends' feature in the project.

But lots of friends see my project. They wish to share what they doing with friends.

Finally I decide to do it a new way, adding twitter feature in my-todo.
More and more like to micro blog their life. my-todo made the GTD and micro blogging together.

OK, that's the my-todo, for now. Maybe more features in the future.

GAE Camp is coming back at November 22th.

box2d.js is the JavaScript version of a famous physics engine box2d. It was ported from box2d as3, base on JavaScript framework prototype.

I spend some time to make it work with jQuery.

Some programmer thinks that writing script is not real programming. They believe program should be convert into binary then be executed.

When I first to write code, I met BASIC. Yes, with it I learned the raw concept of program(with LineNumber something like ASM). Thanks to BASIC. But in that time, the think I care most is to write a program which can turn into binary like exe and com. So I went to study Pascal and C.

Years pasted. I've grow up and finally I understand the truth of programming, Algorithm and Data Structure. And I became an C++ coder. But I love script. Python is my favorite.

Script program can save your time. As we already know that programming is to process data. We must save our life but not waste time. I'm no longer the child wanna make a binary. I prefer to an algorithm, a project, or something more challengingly and complex.

However, binary is also a script... A script to CPU, isn't it?

Last week I went to the presentation of Bath University.

I have heard about it, a small town near London. A very beautiful city like the other cities I've ever know, such as Edinburgh, Leeds and so on...

I was very surprised that all the students around me is student of cultural science. Why there is no engineer thinking about getting abroad? I don't think engineers have got poor English. Maybe they're short of the environment to get in touch with the foreigners.

Bath is a beautiful city. I'll go there for sure, even not for education.
