Bastiaan en Lily's blog http://www.basenlily.me/ Our new blog, still work in progress. Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:40:01 +0100 English http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Copyright 2012 Joining the fight against internet censorship http://www.basenlily.me/blog/post/2012/02/03/joining-the-fight-against-internet-censorship/ http://www.basenlily.me/blog/post/2012/02/03/joining-the-fight-against-internet-censorship/ After the overwhelming uprising against SOPA/PIPA only a week or so ago on the 31st of January 2012 a judge in the Netherlands ruled in favour of Stichting Brein (the dutch MPAA) and ordered these ISP to start blocking 3 IP addresses belonging to the Pirate Bay. The ruling included a provision for Stichting Brein to expand on the list of IP addresses as they see fit, they do not first need to take action in court but have been pretty much given a carte blanche.

Live has just been to busy and I hardly find the spare time to write anything. I am attempting to find the time to learn Ruby so who knows, that might be a reason to revamp this site.

Today was an adventure though, the Dutch festival was on, a yearly get together for Dutch migrants here in Sydney with traditional Dutch food and Dutch entertainment. The festival itself is a 3 day event and today was the last day. The festival was a lot of fun, getting to the festival proved an adventure...

The topic has come up many times in the past and since it is something I've done a lot with it seemed like a good idea to do a little sample library and add some explanation.

Subwindows are basically windows that are contained within another window. They are Omnis Studio's answer to be able to reuse visual components in multiple places in your application. This can be anything from a subwindow containing a single component/field to a subwindow that allows you to enter an entire record consisting of a dozen entry fields.

The problem herein is how to properly communicate between the subwindow and its parent window.
Object Orientation states that any object should not assume or directly influence another object that contains/uses it. That is the only way to guarantee an object can be reused in multiple places without any restrictions in the behavior of the object that uses it. A subwindow and it's parent however always have a symbiotic relationship in one form or another and some measure of communication between them is required. The parent window communicating with the subwindow is easy as this is simply done through public methods, but the subwindow (as it interacts directly with the user) communicating back to the parent, now their lies the problem.

We're not sure yet what happened but it seemed that someone installed some malicous tunneling software on our server, god only knows what sortah trouble these guys where up to.

We had to shut some parts of the server down in order to clean up the mess and change some things hopefully to prevent a repeat. Unfortunately that meant my site and some others where down for a while.

Looks like we're back up :)

One of the expositions was Chris Tudor's Christmas photoshoot stand. We had him take a few pictures of Blake and talked to him that we've wanted to do a small family photoshoot for a little while. From one thing came another and on Monday we were at his home taking pictures which turned out to be a very pleasant experience.

My heart sank to an absolute low in the middle of the week but the end result seems to be a positive conclusion after all.
