Dr. Alexander von Paleske ----- 13.9.2024 - Annalena Baerbock wird wohl als die bisher reisefreudigste Aussenministerin in die Geschichte eingehen, wobei die zurückgelegten Kilometer allerdings im umgekehrt proportionalen Verhältnis zu ihren aussenpolitischen Erfolgen stehen, hingegen propartional zu den Flurschäden, die sie anrichtete. Nicht nur kaum messbare Erfolge, sondern sie hat es geschafft, ihren Ruf und damit den Deutschlands gegenüber Staaten wie China, der Türkei, aber auch...

Was in dem Artikel vergessen wurde: Weltweit sind es 1,2 Millionen, wobei diese Zahl noch eine Untertreibung der wirklichen Zahl der an resisten Keimen Verstorbenen sein dürfte...

Monday, August 27, 2007 - Version 0.98.9d alpha

Finally, got through the merge from and merge into functions of the new Report options page. Following that, I hurried through the rest of the Tutorial in the help file. It may not be perfect right now, but it will get polished over time.

So what was going to be just adding the last set of features before going beta, ending up turning into some fairly major changes and usability improvements. A lot of the changes were based on user input and I thank everyone for that.

There are quite a few changes this version, many of them quite noticeable in the program and in the Everything Report. See my Version History for a complete list. I'll be sending out a mailing tonight to everyone who's purchased and tried Behold to let them know about the new version and some of the new features.




si

Keeping It Simple

One of the difficult parts about programming is to figure out how to add features but still keep the program simple and intuitive. Every feature added, by definition, makes a program more complex. In the extreme, you get what's called "feature bloat". Even if you only have simple features but, say, 100 of them, it becomes difficult to even find the one task among the hundred that you want to do.

So as I've developed my alpha version over the last couple of years, I've been trying to finalize the features to be in Version 1.0. Many ideas have come along. Many excellent ones have been suggested by trial users and purchasers of Behold. Every feature I have added is core to what Behold is about. Behold must first display all your data logically and conveniently. It must have useful reorganize functions. And it must be set up in a manner that will allow it to advance towards direct on-the-screen what-you-see-is-what-you-get editing in Version 2.0. Everything else must in some useful way support that core functionality.

I have in the last few versions eliminated whole swaths of code and functions, such as the separate Name Index form, the GEDCOM viewer, complex numbering schemes, and soon I'll be getting rid of the log file by incorporating the warning messages right in to the file sections of the Everything Report. All of these were done in a move towards simplicity and ease of use.

Sometimes I don't see the simple way to do something. I've been working with Behold for so long, the internals sometimes get in the way of seeing the externals. So please let me know if there's something that you think can be done simpler or more logically.

I am further inspired by a book I discovered a few days ago, called Getting Real, a book by 37signals about building software. If you're interested, you can read it free online. I purchased a PDF so I can print it and read and reference it at my leisure. Although Behold isn't an online application, everything else the book says felt like a mirror as to the way I'm developing Behold. The only thing I'm lacking, is that I'm taking too long.

So where have I been the last two weeks: I've finished the display of references to notes. This is tricky, especially since I display the note inline if there is only one reference to it, and in the index section if there is more than one. This is to handle the various flavors of GEDCOM which implement notes in different ways.

Version 0.98.9.5 alpha

At last, this version is released! There are a few new things, a number of improvements, and many bug fixes including a few important bugs squashed related to problems customizing tags. Visually, the most significant difference is the elimination of the log file with that data being added into the File Information sections at the bottom of the Everything Report.

There really has been no use in me saying that the next version would be out in 2 months. It always seems to extend to almost three. Thank goodness that I added my expiry of the program after 3 months. At least that has forced my hand at getting a new version finished.

But now I'm guided by my new resolve to work towards the goal of Version 2.0 and get there as soon as possible, maybe within a year. First step is to get to beta. I'm again attempting to say 2 months (January 2008) to do the final bits of alpha work. There are 3 major features I want to that I feel need to be in version 1:

  1. Handling Photos. I want to be able to display thumbnails with their associated data. Hopefully I'll find a quick and dirty way to code it to show a larger picture when you point to one with the mouse. Exporting to HTML should be easy. I don't know about RTF.
  2. Displaying the same AFNs together. This will basically be a precursor to Virtual Merging. I've promised this to one purchaser for too long a time already. And it has been the feature that seems to get deferred every version. This time I'll do it.
  3. Allow Behold to be used as a Portable Application on a pen drive. This really isn't that important now, but it will be quite easy for me to do (only take a few days) and it will be a "sexy" feature that might get Behold noticed.

Number one for me are the pictures. I need that feature to use Behold to make my webpage with info for my Romanian research. If your genealogy program exports links to photos in its GEDCOM, then you'll want that feature as well. I'm a bit worried as there is a chance that graphics might slow Behold down or make it use too much memory. But I'll tackle that problem if it happens.

So, enjoy this current release. I'm very happy with it. I've been tightening up and simplifying the code, and Behold is starting to feel like a real solid application.

Six Forums

Forum. Forum. Forum. Forum. Forum. Forum.

  1. The current forum software I use on my site is Broadboard, a VBScript ASP forum that has worked quite well. But it's author stopped maintaining it several years ago, and it uses Microsoft Access as a database, which may limit it in the future. Also, it does not use CSS so would be difficult to adapt to the new site design.
     
  2. Then I thought about Simple Machines Forum, a full-featured free PHP-based forum. Lots of people like it and it has everything but the kitchen sink, but it felt bloaty to me.
     
  3. I took a stab at Google Groups which didn't look bad. But it wasn't under my control and wouldn't link into WordPress, and then I found out about...
     
  4. Vanilla - a plain vanilla standard-based standards-compliant Forum with plug-in capability.
     
  5. I started trying to integrate it with WordPress, but then it became obvious to try bbPress, the forum used at WordPress and developed with the same core code that WordPress uses. But bbPress appeared to be a bit too primitive. Then I found...
     
  6. Simple Forum - an actual WordPress plugin. Just drop it in and it's there. Full featured and 100% compatible and pre-integrated with WordPress. I don't remember the last time I've been so impressed by a software package. The author's site and his support and development of this package is a model for me to follow with Behold.
So hopefully this weekend, I'll have the new Blog and new Forum all finished (and I will be transferring all my old blog entries and the forum posts over). Then I'll make sure that my background scripts and integration with my Buy Now page works. If those have few problems, I may be able to get the new redesigned site up by end of next week. Then I'll finally be able to get back to Behold development.

This new site has taken me 2 months since I announced it. I thought it would only take a few weeks, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I've learned a lot about CSS and new web technologies and PHP scripting and MySQL databases, which will benefit me as I move Behold along.




si

Version 0.98.9.6 alpha

There's a new version now up. For non-purchasers of Behold, Behold had only 4 days left until it expired. So I needed to release a new version, even though all it has new is 2 small bug fixes.

I didn't realize until now how long this site redevelopment has been taking. It's now two months and still isn't finished. But that's because I'm tacking everything on: A new website. A new web host. A new blog tool. New forum software. New mailing software. New automation scripts. In the meantime, other than new software, I've also learned the PHP script language, mySQL database, and CSS web markup. So I've been busy and my head hurts.

I've come to realize that it was necessary to do this prior to getting to beta and then version 1.0. Soon my site will be ready for growth and increased traffic. Will that happen? I hope so, but at least I'll have a nice modern site with all the tools in place to handle it if and when it does.

So with all decisions in place, it's just a matter of implementing everything, bit by bit, until it's done. My current Behold website uses 8 year old HTML/ASP/Access technology that lasted up to now. This rewrite will bring my site into the new CSS/PHP/mySQL world, and should hopefully last me for the 8 years.

Dedicated IP hosting - benefits of using a static over shared IP address

Is web hosting with dedicated (static) IP address better than having a shared IP address for your website? Due to the rapid increase of the number of registered domain names and the finite number of IP addresses, web hosting providers are forced to use shared IP's when possible. In fact, hundreds of websites often share the same address. Dedicated IP hosting is no longer the norm and usually costs more.
