Homesteading the Noosphere

This chapter talks about open sourcing and hackers. I think open sourcing is not bad. Actually, today, hackers or programmers are using open sourcing. They found it useful and interesting. Open sourcing is good but there are still complications when you use and especially when they implement or deploy it.

Here, the author also discussed ethics. We all know that ethics are one factor to be considered in our profession. Ethics are important in all aspect.

I agree to what the author said about open sourcing, people behind it, and ethics. The reader should remember these things because they can use this information in the future.

A Brief History of Hackerdom

Posted in is-ebiz at 3:39 pm by neferteri

This Chapter gives us information about hackers, physics, and engineers. At first I wonder why author came up with the idea that “The Real Programmers typically came out of engineering or physics backgrounds”.  I am confused why they said this. But let’s take it as their side.

Here, they’ve discussed the background history of the Hackers. In the year 1982, there are Unix Hackers from Stanford and Berkley who found Sun Microsystems. That year Unix is inexpensive. I wonder why they founded Sun Microsystems and came up with this kind of reason. Anyway, I think they have their reason why they said that.

Then, in 1984, Crackers became famous because of what they did. What I know about crackers are they are bad. Their works are against the good ones. Programmers are hackers and not crackers though there are some of programmers who tend to be crackers.

If you ask people about the definition of Hackers, They all say that those are the bad ones.  Hackers are not bad. They just want to hack codes, and others.

// Quotes from Bob Ong

$lyrics = “Hello Bob Ong
Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya..

Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.

Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.

Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.

Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin

Kung maghihintay ka ng lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din

Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang

Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa

Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang

Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.”;

// Here we split it into lines
$lyrics = explode(“\n”, $lyrics);
// And then randomly choose a line
$chosen = wptexturize( $lyrics[ mt_rand(0, count($lyrics) - 1) ] );

// This just echoes the chosen line, we’ll position it later
function hello_dolly() {
global $chosen;
echo “<p id=’dolly’>$chosen</p>”;
}

// Now we set that function up to execute when the admin_footer action is called
add_action(‘admin_footer’, ‘hello_dolly’);

// We need some CSS to position the paragraph
function dolly_css() {
echo “
<style type=’text/css’>
#dolly {
position: absolute;
top: 2.3em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
right: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
color: #d54e21;
}
</style>
“;
}

add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘dolly_css’);

Chapter 15- Post-Launch

Posted in getting real, is-ebiz tagged at 5:59 pm by neferteri

This chapter talks about having updates after launching your apps. Give a time to update your apps. You can blog about it and get a chance to  get a feedback of your customers. I like the idea about making an update with regards to your apps. As much as possible try to have updates in order for you to upgrade it. Here, you can do blog post and show that your product is alive. Once you make blog post, try to keep in touch with it so that you can have a look on what’s new with your apps and for the customers to know that you updated your apps.

Chapter 14

Posted in getting real, is-ebiz tagged at 7:21 am by neferteri

Chapter 14 is all about support. It discusses how developers must have customer suport whenever they introduce and sell their apps to the customers. Developers should support it and maintain. Support is one of the important aspects when you sell it to your customers. This way you could update your customers at the same time the apps whenever there’s new problem that occur in the apps.

         Another thing about this chapter is their point about talking or answering the customers in a straightforward manner, and giving a zero-training. I like the idea in this chapter. Actually, it’s true that developers must know and understand that they whenever customer asks about the apps, you must definitely answer them in a straightforward manner. It’s not nice that you don’t answer them straightforwardly. Customers are not stupid. The can know if you are not answering them straightforwardly. It should be direct and customers don’t want to be stupid in a sense that they don’t know what to do on the apps that they bought. You have to answer them in a straightforward manner. Then another topic here is the giving of zero-training. Here, it means that if you sell your apps to any customers, you should have a simple apps with a good features and functionalities. It would be easier for customers to understand your apps. You have to have a demo.
