[this file is www.yoga6d.com/hints2.txt] [Consult the rules in http://www.yoga4d.com/cfdl.txt before cacheing or redistributing this document IN ANY FORM.] EXTRA HINTS FOR INTERACTORS WITH THE FIRTH LISA OPERATING APPROACH TO COMPUTERS, WITH RED HAT 8.0 LINUX AND THE FIRTH PARTITION, AND ITS EXTENSIONS AS MENTIONED AT MY SITES http://www.yoga4d.com AND http://www.yoga6d.com Aristo Tacoma Copyright and redistribution criterions of this document (that includes the right with which so-called "search engines" are allowed to, as they say, "cache" this document): yoga4d.com/cfdl.txt (must be included -- directly -- in any storage of this document for public viewing) Much of these ar hints which I have probably mentioned somewhere before, at least once, but they are things which might be, on occasion, so important to know that it is worth the while mentioning them again. (I include more such as I think of them.) >>> When you go into the BRIDGE2 applet -- the GJ2 language emulation as at yoga6d.com/minigj2.htm, using the various menu commands as described underneath of the very same area near the bottom of the www.yoga4d.com and www.yoga6d.com pages -- minimenu and such -- you get up info on programs that you can start both there and in the Firth Lisa GJ2 platform. I wish to mention that what's upcoming there, and certainly completed well before June 2009, and performable both in the applet emulation and in the real platform, is: AMHARIC ETHIOPIAN version of B9 editor; ELIZA program written from scratch in GJ2 which provides a relatively safe zone for very private psycho-self-therapautic questions, and -- completed perhaps in 2009 or 2010 or 2011, some RD (room/depth) programs which is my way to tackle a 3d-ish approach to gaming without letting go of the sense of cartoon and lo-res inner mind stimulation. Amharic looks like long-legged girls in copulation -- it is a must-have alphabet for the intelligent designer, is it not? Like dancing hair. So this will be a B9 with an extended font, drawn in MOREFONT, a standard command inside Lisa GJ2, -- programs made by me -- but the B9 will be extended to handle the extra amount of characters needed. Naturally, you can draw other characters for other languages here including my earlier Pali. I am presently learning ethiopian, also with .mp3 sound files burned to CD with xcdroast, after conversion to .wav files with the U67/U68 command inside the Firth GJ2 partition, -- by the absolutely excellent and incredibly well-worked material given fully free -- all honors to them! -- at http://www.fsi-language-courses.com viewable in the normal pdf viewers available in Linux Red Hat 8.0 as downloaded from yoga4d.com/download, the three CDs called R1, R2, and R3 there, and with optional additional expansion of pdf-viewer as described in the newmo.txt and other .txt info files showing the relevant files when you go, with a Java-enabled browser, into the www.yoga6d.com/minigj2.htm, and type in the right menu commands -- these commands, as said again, given right underneath the applet area at the front page of yoga4d.com and yoga6d.com. There are also, from other sources, a simplistic Amharic java editor, .ttf fonts, and some tutorials elements and .pdf samples available at www.yoga6d.com/amharic.zip where ALL ORIGINAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR THE PROGRAMS and PDF files are intact. I do hope that these also include all the relevant acknowledgements for the .ttf files. The font files, the .ttf -- TrueTypeFonts -- should be put into the /root/.wine/dr*/windows/fonts and they will automatically increase the font vocabulary of 'wine firefox' and of 'wine AngelWriter' and such. Now, if you read this and you happen to know that the .ttf file for Amharic which is included in that amharic.zip should have (more?) acknowledgements, pls send an email to me at atiroal@yahoo.com or the email, posssibly another at some stage, indicated on top of http://www.yoga6d.com or http://www.yoga4d.com, for I made the amharic.zip very fast believing at the time it was only a personal backup for my own self-education. That also explains why it has no readme.txt inside it. I believe that the info included with the Java program there do give proper acknowlegment for some or, I hope, for all, the .ttf files included. I want to repeat that ALL INFORMATION IN AMHARIC.ZIP IS UNTOUCHED, UNCHANGED, OPEN SOURCE AND FREEWARE FROM OTHER SOURCES, respectable sources: please respect any licenses involved, and don't redistribute anything of this without first consulting the original sources of this. I hope by my open source contribution of an entirely new Amharic editor written in GJ2 in which I have not used anything of what is in amharic.zip, but rather drawn it rather and relatively freely on an artistic impulse after exposing myself to the free tutorials at fsi-language-courses.com -- can lead to new people approaching this very coptic land of so many beautiful human resources and in so great need of material resources, of clean water, of good electricity supplies, of first-hand technological devices. Certainly, one day, I will get a transistor-based computer built out of sheer pure metals drawn out of the ground there and melted there when things get going, and I know they will soon, I am prototyping it with standard transistors and cathode ray tubes extracted from old TVs and radios at present. The land of the original Punt -- not the modern little fraction called 'puntland' but that which at the time of Cleopatra was called Punt, a source of the original coffee when treated and bred in Arabic lands then grown in Brazil, as well as of tame/mild killer bees which give excellent honey, -- now called Ethiopia, has in it a perfectly non-dogmatic approach, welcoming of the Bob Marley hippie liberty found in the idea of One Love, of the material-presence of the divine in the love between humans -- this is something going beyond racism, to be honored, alongside the longlegged radiant beauty of these people. To start the java program -- which, as said, has all the original acknowledgements intact inside its generously provided open source by the excellent author of this product -- go into the sadiss folder and type (put into a batch file as described beneath to do it rapidly often): /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin/java -jar Sadiss.jar and it works wonderfully well, if you have a standard RH8 linux as extended with the j160.rpm.bin as described on my sites. To get AngelWriter and other wine editors to show all the characters of the various .ttf files you must in some cases open up various menu options and try your way -- find something like 'insert special characters' or 'list of unicode characters' and scroll down and such. I know by heart that the culture Ethiopia presents is unqiuely vibrant due to its coptic depths -- see the discussions I have given at various places at my sites. This I will write more about in the books and so on to be published, and talk about in the seminars to come, also in connection with stamash art exhibitions also from my students. To what extent I will document this at my sites I do not know yet. >>> Installing printer: inside http://www.yoga6d.com/hlprnt.txt -- which is my (somewhat extended, for Brother printers but not limited to Brother printers -- but Brother company has a tradition in being very hardworking indeed to accomodate all flavours of Linux) -- it is stated a whole range of approaches to getting printers to work. When you open up an application which requires fresh printer settings, not discussed in that document, it is usually possible to extract elements from that document to set the printer correctly up even so. For instance, check the info on how oowriter, the Open Office writer, is set up -- that particular type of command given in the command line. That might work on other applications, perhaps with a very slight modification. So it could be a good idea to do the whole range of things in that document with the programs there mentioned first, so as to get the queue and so on set up. **** Inside that same document, hlprnt.txt, it is advised to go for the K platform rather than the Gnome platform. I assume this in the hints which follows. >>> On disk-sizes, also how much remaining space on mounted flash-disks (USB-pens): Graphical K menu: System tools --> System monitor Please STAY FAR AWAY FROM OVERLOADING A DISK. The whole PC may have to be reformatted and all files reinstalled and all existing files more or less lost if even once a disk is being run out of capacity. Stay far, far away from that cliff. >>> On flash-disks. When remounted several times, e.g. by mount /dev/sda1 /a again and again (or mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /a which is usually equivalent, at least after a while) each time there is a message 'input/output error' which can be SAFELY IGNORED. >>> When using wine firefox, and sometimes mozilla-1.3, there is a bunch of error messages which can be SAFELY IGNORED (e.g. the type 'fix-me'). And so on. Wine firefox has a newer version of javascript and so it is better with some types of heavy javascript-oriented sites but it may show a black background instead of a white background on some fields and you have to accomodate. If all halts in it, just wait for a little while; if nothing happens, then select, if it is available, the background text screen where you presumably started the wine firefox (after the cd /root/.wine/dr*/Pr*/Mozilla command, as explained in the standard files confer the menu options mentioned underneath the MINIGJ2 area (the BRIDGE2) rather at bottom of the front yoga4d.com and the yoga6d.com in an uncluttered java-enabled browser to see all the relevant expansion files for Red Hat 8.0, which is the advised standard classic and exactly the version which, in FULL, and unchanged, is the R CD set, of three CDs, also called the USB utility partition, see yoga4d.com/download and get the 10MB chunks and glue them together with the very tiny program DOGGY -- whatever platform -- then burn to a CD with the suffix either .img or .iso on the unzipped file created by DOGGY out of the 10 MB-bundles, with an iso-CD-burning style of program, of which one type is provided for many Windows-like platform, BURNWIND contains it, but others are available search www.downloads.com or whatever it is called again, if you need another iso- burning-CD program. Avoid DVD on this platform).) So if nothing happens on the wine firefox after a while, and you can get up the text screen where you presumably started it, then click CTR-C (ctrl-button, then press C) when that text screen is up. It should exit it. That is the way also to force exit of other programs. The stronger way to force exit is to bring up a text terminal and type in reboot which is preferable to reset buttons. Switch off and wait AT LEAST HALF A MINUTE when the reboot reaches the actual rebooting stage of the PC. >>> When going in between GJ2 Firth Lisa and Linux Red Hat, or when rebooting GJ2 many times, be sure you really SWITCH OFF COMPLETELY and ALSO SWITCH OFF THE POWER OF THE COMPUTER FULLY (that is, use the main big chunky power switch on the computer, or pull the plug). This is important for a while variety of PCs which do not empty the memory handling processes of Firth when ordinary reboot happens. If you wait a full minute, it is even more certain that the RAM drivers are gone. This is important otherwise it will be EXTREMELY SLOW when re-started. Linux dismisses its own drivers more neatly and girlishly.. >>> When you have been in GJ2 in 2006 April 10 standard time and you switch time back e.g. to use currency transaction download you can type date --set=mm/dd/20yy with yy for correct year. Then WAIT HALF A MINUTE OR SO, and press ENTER (and ignore) the message on overload. It is just a driver near the CPU which gets confused about the timing issue. Then type date --set=09:00 to set time to 09:00 am or date --set=21:00 to set time to 09:00 pm and the like. Do remember to get the AM / PM right by using the full 24-hour approach, especially when timing is important. >>> Correct time/date is important for some applets such as some features of some currency trading platforms and some banks. >>> This is much like the .BAT files in Firth: You can put any command in a file called e.g. mycommand.sh and that can include such statements as (I think self-explanatory) clear date echo "To check time, we perform konqueror timeanddate.com/worldclock" konqueror timeanddate.com/worldclock echo "press ENTER and type CURRENCY, or press CTR-C if you need to change." read /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin/appletviewer http://www.yoga6d.com/minigj2.htm TO GET THE NEW .sh BATCH FILE TO WORK, DO chmod 777 xxx.sh when in the current folder for such a file. Other numbers give the .sh less room for access. I assume all the way here you are logged in as root and not a fool when it comes to security, that you go into basically safe internet sites and are aware and know what you are doing. >>> If you use a good proxy server and click on the links there (see jpgbrows.txt for some that sometimes works), this is safer, relative to your anonymity, than even opening them up in a text-only mode e.g. of konqueror and clicking on the links there. FAR safer, if it is a good proxy. >>> Command gftp is very stable for uploading to websites. However on a couple of website-host-deliverers you may find that there are peculiarities to how the website expect the ftp-program to behave, which may cause arbitrary changes in absolutely essential files such as .htaccess. So in case, get a backup of the relevant .htaccess so you can restore it in case the file is nulled out arbitrarily. I have found that using wine firefox on java-script-based control panels is on occasion better than using ftp -- for such sites, anyway, in which you only need to update a couple of the files, and where you suspect that it is set up a little bit stupidly with too much reliance on some particular ftp program. [gftp is a standard command in RH8 Linux.] >>> I have great joy in using that appletviewer to open the minigj2.htm as above (and also, when using Linux mind you, not Microsoft-like platforms), the sound extended version. Using the JJ command with MM or NN and suitable sites -- afrocunts, only18teensex, what have you -- these change all the time, every month -- is such an avalanche of great views with the tastely spring green. And it is absolutely cookie-free, and works on thumbnails only. >>> Many versions of Flash thingies won't show either in Mozilla-1.3 or wine firefox but I find that most webmasters are amendable to the suggestion, when put very kindly and sweetly, to downgrade the flash version number used to version 3 or 4 or 5 or the like. Most important sites don't go for higher version numbers. Only idiot programmers are attached to the newest versions of Flash, Java or Javascript, for they aren't smart enough to get it to work with the far more compatible, wide-range forms of the early versions. >>> I don't like videos, if you haven't discovered it already. So I haven't done any work on getting MPG to show in these browsers nor do I want to have to work. But Firth has a little bit MPG showing compatibility if you look carefully into the B menu (type B on the command line). As you perhaps do know, a standard Firth PC with standard Red Hat utility partition will connect between the partitions by mount /dev/hda1 /c (or the longer command, mount /dev/hda1 /c -t vfat I think it is) and then you can do such as cp /root/*.mpg /c/backup5/ but do pls rename any filename to lowercase max 8 letters and a dot and max three letters and do umount /c right afterwards and don't keep the link between the partitions open while you do other programs, at least not unless it is really important. >>> Gimp, started by command gimp, has a really nice File -> Acquire -> Screenshot -> Whole screen option which saves any element of anything as e.g. .jpg and this can be useful when wanting quickly and uncluttered to store some information without wanting the longer path of many filenames and subfolders which one gets by selecting "Save complete website" inside Mozilla-1.3 or wine firefox. >>> When in wine firefox you wish to save straight e.g. to a folder like /backup5 then type z:\backup5 or else click on browse button and move through My Computer and Z:. >>> When wine firefox stops for a while and then suggests 'stop script' then do 'stop script'. If suitable for the site, consider switching off javascript in the ordinary preferences section for just that site. >>> When wine firefox stops for a while after download, or gets very very slow, and it wishes stupidly to announce, 'All downloads are complete', then just put up with it, drink some coffee. It is the only thing that is really annoying with it and so get used to the fact that downloading with wine firefox has this feature. You can however exit wine firefox at that point by putting the screen down (click the button with the lower line on it at right top) and then clicking CTR-C. Restart wine firefox if you like by arrow-up and ENTER. >>> mozilla-1.3 is generally, when expertly configured with Java 1.6 -- as you get by following ALL the instructions beginning with newmo.txt and proceeding through the whole set of info .txt files and suitable downloads from my locations www.yoga4d.com and (more usually for that), www.yoga6d.com, all the way through. (I'll make some mirror sites for these some day and mention it in a program comment) -- MUCH more robust for getting into java applet sites than the wine firefox, so usually have java turned off wine firefox. Using mozilla-1.3 with java does however mean that you must be willing to put up with a couple of things. The main annoyance, until you get used to it, is that you must choose File->New or CTR-N rather than clicking on the address field when an applet has, as it is called, "grabbed the keyboard attention". You must get used to not only delete cookes but also going through the little bit complicated menu to clear cache and delete histories often. You should only have one java applet running at a time, unless you have tested that for sure a particular combination is possible. At least this is a good idea when one of these java applets has keyboard input. Graphs of the java type which can come up e.g. from a link on the www.yoga6d.com as it is at the moment of writing, as for currencies, near the 'streaming currency values' area, at 'click here for full list', and then clicking on the rightmost side of one of the currency pairs, can however neatly go together with a vast trading platform (however do look too intensely at such a graph as there may be various reasons for lack of full resonance between the graph values and the trading values in another platform). In such a case as opening up other sites than yoga6d.com at the same time as starting a graph from a yoga6d.com link be sure to maintain contact with yoga6d.com site or the graph may straighten out to a meaningless flat line. The contact ensures the liveliness, accuracy. >>> There are some .mp3 playing options -- at the moment, I don't remember which one that turned out best -- but they are available at the graphical menu (try also text command xmms if I remember correctly) -- that can play .mp3 more robustly than the java mp3-player mentioned in the extension texts. You may have to exit and restart such programs often and also exit and restart any java applet playing anything for the java runtime to acquire control of the sound streaming process in Linux. This is not at all the most fluid part of Java, but it DOES work, when it works, to perfection with multiple .au sound files something not the case with Windows, even the newest Windows at the time something as advanced as Java 1.6 was made. >>> When using gimp, right-click over the image and select File->Save As, image-modifications and so on. When saving to .jpg, press ENTER over the various questions after file-name has been correctly given, but don't rush the ENTER-pushing. Let the gimp finish each process before you start the next, for else its element of multitasking gets confused. >>> If a flashdisk (a USB pen) needs reformatting, either because it has a bad non-vfat format like NTFS or it has in some way got a bit bad then there is a command which I have written in some of the extension texts along the lines of the texts pointed to at newmo.txt which shows how to format it easily. I mention this because this command is something so strong it can wipe out too much and I use it so seldom that I don't remember that command all the time easily, nor care to do so: but I do think you should get hold of all the extension info for the RH8 as well as the original yoga4d.com/install.txt and really read it all carefully. It is quite important to know a lot of such things no matter WHAT version of Linux you use, and don't get gullibly impressed by a fancy graphical startup which hides the real complexity of proper configuration of it all. >>> For PDF viewing -- and, by the way, for MP3 listening -- there are several options which Konqueror presents neatly if you type e.g. konqueror file:/backup5 and look at whatever .pdf files you have there -- in addition to the Adobe extension I have provided for you in the above-mentioned extension documents. You do a right-click over the .pdf (or .mp3) files and get up options which are automatically extended as you get the extra programs as I have described for mozilla-1.3 and such. So also for .ps postscript files which you can view also with the command ggv whatever.ps, stemming perhaps from a File->Print command on occasion. >>> Can use command pdftotext as in-built in RH8 to extract raw text from a pdf for input e.g. to gedit. The command gedit proves to be a better companion when it comes to really huge .txt files than kedit. Once you learn the quirks of it, how the jump command is best used, how the search command is best used, and such, it works like a dream within its functional realm. >>> Highly smart to use CONVBAT as described in what is at present www.geocities.com/atiroal but which can be a new website address within yoga6d.com e.g. yoga6d.com/city later on when you want to have a systematic approach for writing national characters and get it into html. Do this then stepwise, showing the html in a browser, select all, copy and paste into kword, then saving. AngelWriter has an excellent .rtf approach, this is part of the wine package. >>> Very good to use Lisa GJ2 Firth for providing various textures to website work if you are a website designer. >>> If you get the jikes, excellent (FANTASTIC) open source work by IBM at jikes.sourceforge.com back at http://www.yoga6d.com/jikes-1.22-1.i586.rpm http://www.yoga6d.com/jikes-1.22-1.i586.src you get hold of jdk1.8.0 for Windows and unzip and extract classes.zip and give the command jikes -bootclasspath /luck3/classes.zip -target 1.1 -nowarn xxx.java when your file is called xxx.java and you are in /luck3 folder and have the classes.zip there. This is after you have done the rpm -i jikes-1.22-1.i586 of course. This is FAR better than the jdk compiler: for larger files can be handled, and the error messages have more the flavour of nudges and edible cookies. To view the result, pls use appletviewer in a version like 1.6, or else the RAM is restricted to the rediculously low 1.1 RAM version. >>> To use the jikes for e.g. version of Java 1.3 you don't use classes.zip but rather rt.jar. This rt.jar you extract from a Java jdk which is somewhat newer than 1.1. Don't deliberately use an as new rt.jar as possible. The earlier version you can compile with, the broader range of platforms, java runtimes, and browser can view your applet. The command would then be something like jikes -bootclasspath /luck3/rt.jar -nowarn -target 1.1 xxx.java I find that the -target 1.1 is nice also here, even though it is clear that higher-than-1.1 elements are called on. For this allows the 1.1 runtimes to see the startup-screen, if you are moderate and conservative about what elements you put at the startup-screen. As a rule, as a norm, put all .class files and nothing more than .class files in a single .jar file and delete all .class files at once and give only the .jar, in the archive part of the tag. All other files than .class should be given separately. This is most cross- compatible in all cases I've seen. Go moderate on requiring 'certificates' such as by thawte.com or verisign.com or newer java certificate solutions. For certificate approvals are clicked on by users rather unconsciously and rather meaninglessly provides not much of any kind of protection of anything, anywhere. It is better to talk clearly to the interactor with your programming first, in text form, describing honestly what types of situations of security considerations the interactor should do before going into the applet -- and then suggesting direct temporary change in java.policy (or .java.policy, the latter somewhat more easy when a PC is controlled by an Administrator). >>> There is, due to the structure of how RH8 and its standard programs is built, a lot of traces of any program run. I mention this because it means that there is no quick and complete way to REALLY empty cache of the platform. But to have a go at cleansing it up, delete empty files and needless files which are found in various subfolders of root which begins with a dot. This however you must do with care. Some of the folders starting with a dot are radically important -- e.g. .wine. You might want to use konqueror to look into particular folders. Do something like cd ls .* > test.txt gedit test.txt to see all the stuff at the highest level, then do a cd into the relevant subsections, and then perhaps konqueror to delete that which should be deleted. Don't do it fast; it is perhaps better to just know that these traces are there. They are not very strong traces and they tend to get overwritten with more usage of the platform esp. when you press Clear cache inside mozilla-1.3 and clear private data in wine firefox often, besides using proxy servers fairly often and -- of course -- avoid all monopolic-smelling search sites. When you have used gimp e.g. in folder /luck3 then, to clear up, do cd /luck3 rm ".xvpics" -fr but always have a deep breath, or many of those, whenever you use rm command with any -r or -f or (especially) -fr. You MUST be careful with the rm thingy. Just be careful. By the way, in Firth, when you have used a folder and deleted files inside the folder, perhaps image-fixed them with N or the like, -- then, if that folder is having nothing but these temporary files, and you have moved the end-results to a more permanent location on the harddisk, there is a lot of traces of these files. You can use a similar command to cleanse the lot. Suppose you used C:\BACKUP13 to fix up a lot of files, then you put it all to standard folder by command HM and COPY \BACKUP13\*.* as the completing command. Then you can type CD \ rm backup13 -fr mkdir backup13 with all the necessary deep breaths here too. This will clear up at least a whole bundle of relevant traces. To clear up even more, copy gigantic irrelevant files hither and dither well within the available disk space then delete these gigantic files. Get stuff over to a CD regularly. To cleanse a disk somewhat better, have all on several backups, reformat it all, reinstall platforms, put programs back. Don't forget that a CD is but plastic and requires fine-tuned reading devices. Use several forms of media if you REALLY want backups -- including standardized ways of printing in a way both human and machine readable. >>> After each use of gedit and many other types of editors, do, but carefully, very carefully, that you do not write anything even nearly like * without the immediate wave-sign following it -- for that would remove ALL the files -- so take the breaths, watch the line, do ls *~ first if you are new to it. rm *~ -f >>> To do a quick backup with compression of a folder go on top of it -- above it -- then type e.g. zip -r luck3 luck3 and the luck3.zip is produced. Be sure that you delete any earlier version of a .zip with the very same name before doing a zip. The unzip -t luck3.zip will test the content and also show you how it would be unzipped -- which is important, so you get the info on whether the subfolder is included. This is compatible with the Firth version of ZIP and UNZIP, and it is also so that if you write luck3.zip inside a Windows XP / Vista / 7 or the like it will automatically, normally, suggest an unzip action of sorts. The zipping that these Windows can offer will also usually be compatible with this for Linux and for Firth. >>> Command tar -xf and bunzip2 and such you find talked about in the newmo.txt etc extension texts. Some of these have the advantage of being able to handle much larger file sizes than the zip maximum file size; yet this is of course not usually needed for conventional backups of a definite folder of some new files -- which can without fail go into hundreds of megabytes. >>> Some flashdevices go very slow when mounted, although the cross-partition mount may go faster. The RH8 USB approach is not enhanced for high-speed operations except on a couple of devices. If you know this, and you know what you are doing, you just go and do something else while the backup to the flashdisk happens when of many megabytes. Don't do anything multitasking if you can do it singletasking. This is especially so when you have mounted something. >>> And, yes, to get access to CD it is important to sometimes have the mount /dev/scd0 /b command ready at hand. CDs are not always autodetected. If several CDs, I guess the completing zero would become 1 or 2 but there could be some other variation -- you have to try it out. >>> Don't do mounting of flashdisks in the plural. Stick with one exact device -- in each session. There is a mount /dev/sdb1 /b which would work for a second flashdisk if the first is mount /dev/sda1 /a but you must really really not make any mistake about this, or the file structure of the mounted flashdisk might get erased. Do always wait for the umount /a and umount /b to complete ENTIRELY before even vaguely beginning to think about removing the flashdisk. Do this not while accessing Internet, for safety of the disk. >>> When programming, pls never promise security, privacy or safety about any file access of any type, but rather say that which is the honest thing -- namely that as far as the programmer is aware of, this is fairly secure, this is fairly private, this is fairly safe, and so on, because this will help ensure that you have a reputation for not doing any misleading and so it'll improve your goyon. (Right? You know that term by now? Good. Unless you have read about, substitute "karma".) >>> If designing anything, ask whether it has a resonance with a girl -- a teenager -- a freshlooking, happy one, with lots of hairs and long slender well-trained legs and arms. Or does it look like the old ugly founder of Microsoft? Think about it. Look into it with a relaxed look, not trying to imitate that which you think is fashionable. What color is her skin? Her hair? Her hair is massive and lovely and on top -- or have you made a balloon or camping-wagen type of esthetics? She is always giggling and dancing and flirting, have you made, in contrast, something which is too much an information brochure, which provide "overview", rather than something which acts to enliven and which has the elements of ambiguity and which encourages inner brain activity -- by being a bit lo-res and so on?
