In 2008 I plan to expose people to the truth in as subtle a form as I can manage. For starters I will quietly call the consensual truth that everyone learned in school "propaganda" aimed at marketing the consumer lifestyle. Just because nearly everyone agrees what we read and hear on the TV is "truth" does not make such propaganda true. We just consent to it being true within context of what that truth is selling us. It is still propaganda designed to sell a product. Ultimately, it isn't truth because it is based on the consumer model.

From what I have learned about Python and Ruby as programming languages, Python is mildly object-oriented programming (OOP) while Ruby is much more OOP. As well, Ruby derives a lot of its flavor from Perl and its object-oriented features are mainly inspired by Smalltalk. It also shares some features with Python, Lisp, Dylan, and CLU.
Python is used to manipulate content derived from the Web, and has methods of displaying text in a window. It is object oriented. Perl is a powerful language used mainly to manipulate text. Smalltalk is one of the oldest of programming language, and the classic Apple Mac used an operating system based on it. Today, Mac OS X is based on FreedBSD and its desktop is derived from WM and NextStep.
Currently I am reading Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide.

This is my first post written locally on my computer using nanoblogger, and then copied & pasted into gnome-blog, the GNOME Web Blogging Applet.
Here's a review on 5 blog posters including both gnome-blog and blogtk, which I both use. I'd used blogtk before I transfered from my local nanoblogger website to blogspot, and found that I had to edit the result by inserting a title and editing the resulting blog entry. I think the line-end problem is due to the settings to make soft returns hard by inserting br tags is the problem.
