My girlfriend has suggested a very important update to the Knit Project program. She needs to be able to draw lines, It just takes to long to click each cell individually. It would also be nice if she could draw circles or squares as well. Another update is to allow adding/removing rows/columns of the current [...]

Because of my ventures into the waters of Objective-C I’ve started to take another look at C. Why you ask? This is because Objective-C is just a thin layer on top of C, which means that anything that is written in C is also written for Objective-C. So do people still use C? I haven’t [...]

I’ve started to learn Objective-C, the programming language for Macs and the iPhone. So far I really like it. The philosophy and syntax around it are quite different from anything I’m used to. In most Object Oriented Languages, You have very strict classes with inheritance and methods; properties for accessing those classes. And in most [...]

I switched over to Apple in 2003/2004 ish, and I’ve never really done any programming on it. Because of the iPhone, my intrest in apple development has peaked. So these last few days I’ve been looking into it and building some sample apps in XCode. I’m intrested in building a Visual Novel of sorts. As [...]

For years I’ve been toying with different ideas for thinking or evolving software. The concept where you give the program a goal, some starting information, and some rules; and the program figures out the best way to reach the goal. My favorite so far is the evolving method. The program created thousands to millions of [...]

(It’s stupid to call it ‘Adobe AIR’ because AIR stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime. So I’m really saying Adobe Adobe Integrated [...]

Welcome to Zen Software.*note: I know that some may dissigree with the way I am using the word “Zen” I am using it in the meaning of simple and without excess. My goal is to develop simple applications that focus on getting the job done. I want to move away from all of the features [...]

I was going to translate my notes and put them up on the blog but, I’m lazy. So I’m just going to put the relevant stuff up so I can continue on. I’v been thinking about how I will create this neuron program. I’ve run into a problem when I neuron has to receive multiple [...]

Real neurons have a threshold that must be met before they will fire. Should the balance neurons have a threshold? Without any threshold it would propagate like the image below.

The human body is always struggling to find a balance. Not just a balance within it’s self (like the regulation of glucose in the blood stream) but also within our vision (Images that aren’t balanced cause distress while images that are in balance make us feel peaceful and relaxed) and within our lives. So my [...]
