Ontology Management

I meant to look this up today: SWOOP

but, I found myself sitting in front of a computer with no java, and a cell phone with some. uncomfortable installing Java on random peoples' computers, I will take a look at this when I get home.

this one looks good too:
Differential Ontology Editor

Why is this important? The best verse is terse.

Vigorous writing is concise. An ontology can help you to manage the coherency and breadth of your thoughts, or so the story goes... I hope my writing doesn't wind up looking like those awful spam monkeys I still hear from every now and again!

Sadly, Facebook and Delicious still seem to be not supporting Chinese or Korean. Maybe it is just my input method that is at fault. I can't believe it doesn't work.

Molly Installation

Installing the Molly Project onto the pirate-yogi ship Hobo 11, the machine that doesn't tend to carry copyrighted software on purpose.

Do what you say you're gonna do

This particular desktop is configured such that I can't use it to learn to write in Chinese, only to read. Pretend it's a restriction of the IT department. I'm not sure what implications that would have for the psychology of a person. We're going to find out.

Management handed down a decision, and Juice is taking my new computer from me. He's making money and I'm not, and we're sharing the money under an equitable arrangement as far as I'm concerned, so unless I can find the time to make my home computer (which does not run Windows) handle Chinese input satisfactorily, perhaps final notice that the Chinese will be left behind when our pirate space ship reaches orbit, and eventually travels beyond beyond!

So unless I can find a way to perform that function using free software, I mean, unless my demands are met!!! Uhh, yes I mean to say that, until we are financially solvent under a real business model, I will not be teaching Chinese on company time. Thank you.

Anyway, with that settled, I will be blogging about Molly as I figure out how to get it up and running. I just felt a chill of "whoreyness" run down my spine. Funny. But what I mean to say is, do what you say you're gonna do, it sounds lovely in Chinese.
