Computing Vs Philosophy

2009-12-08

It would appear that once again in my life, things have become seperated between these two very different topics again.

Back when this blog was only really for me, I could write about both philosophy and computing on the same pages and that was ok, because nobody read any of them anyway! However, recently ITBR has become more popular due most likely to publicity caused by the recent release of the AppShell beta.

My proposed solution is to split ITBR, computing, philosphy and ‘everything’ sections. More on this soon.

Draft Proof regarding numinous experiences

2009-12-04

Presumption: There is atleast some truth in the reported numinous experiences.

  1. Those that claim to have had numinous experiences talk of an entity greater than it is capable to describe through language strucures.
    1. Other such concepts exist (Example: Love).
      1. These concepts are exclusively ones of perfection (in their purest forms).
  2. God is a perfect being.
    1. It is more perfect to exist as the only being of perfection, than one of many.

Intermediate-Conclusion 1: Therefore, God is the only perfect being.

Conclusion: The subject of numinous experiences is God.

Debate greatly appreciated.

When can I start writing blog posts from my brain?

2009-11-08

As odd as it may sound, it would make updates here so much more frequent (once a day?).

The issue is that you can have a blog worthy thought, the likelihood is your either too far from a PC to write it up (and you’ll forget by the time you are), or you are too busy to write it.

Such is life. More news soon,

Why there is something as opposed to nothing

2009-08-19

God?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not religious. But seriously, think of the time before there was anything, if such a thing can exist. What happened in this true void that sparked the creation of…. something?

The issue here is that for that something to be sparked another object is required to spark it. Subsequently we encounter the need for a universal constant – something that simply… is.

Define God:

  • The supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in …

Does this universal constant subsequently have to be a god?

It is true that the universal constant, whatever it may be is indeed the originator of the universe, but is it a ruler?

Hohum… what’s your opinion on this? It would indeed be interesting to hear from some of my very limited in number readers :)

Writing an LSharp.net IDE

2009-07-26

Recently I found an interesting little programming language called LSharp.net.

It is effectively a language by which the user can script in LISP and call functions to the .NET framework. It is indeed an interesting experiment and in a little while it cvould perhaps become usable.

The issue I found with coding for L#.net was the unfortunate lack of an IDE…. so I made one (see below)

As can be seen, the IDE is currently only able to load, save and run programs. However, i’m actively working on this so quick advancements are to be expected.

For a 1.0-BETA release this is the sort of feature list I am hoping for…

  • Load, edit, save and run L#.net programs.
  • Code colouring.
  • Font settings.
  • Multiple files open (projects?)

It shouldn’t take too long, so expect an update within the next few days.

Microblogger is out!

2009-06-07

You read the title! After about 20 hours developing, tweaking, redeveloping and the likes, it’s actually done!

The first release (1.0-BETA) has been out and about for around 4 hours now and the response has been very positive thus far, with 1 positive comment and a fair few downloads, the future is looking good for microblogger!

Born out of my post of frustation here, I ended up writing my own wordpress microblogging plugin available here! I hope someone, if not many people people make good use of the plugin and again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Back soon,

Sam
