What is in your mind that comes to mixing? Which or what programs do you like to refer to? Simplicity for the ‘end user’ as in – the programmer? A person who transforms him/herself into a programmer does not complain *much* of how its simple for them to code.

Its like matching a dog handler to a dog. Both have behaviour traits that need them to be best partners and on how they work together with verbal and non verbal communication. A knowledge hungry programmer learns other languages to (unconsciously) know what best suits the intellectual thought process and management of work while its presented in the language [as this is the tool].

Well, i talk to much [online that is] but love to give the broader view. If you want to go to specifics, throw more questions [If its simplicity for the end user - that is the product user, it depends on various parameters - the user's techphobia level, user's ability to "actually" read around the program to know what they are looking for, and the program itself [poor concept design, GUI and bugs are common turn offs]

John, thank you very much for putting everything into \plain English\, makes more sense now. My point was, if there were for example two programs very similar, or maybe two programs that a person uses, that could be combined into one, for simplicity for the end user. That is, IF it is possible. If it’s like mixing oil and water for example, obviously no.

I’m not a big fan of Drupal purely because it’s a poorly designed CMS. People are claiming it is an enterprise CMS when you cannot even scale it beyond 1 DB node out of the box. You There’s also little tweaks you have to make like having a shared /images on an NFS/CIFS mount if you want to have load balanced instances of Drupal. My point is a lot of companies will find this information and someone comfortable with hacking Drupal core to be a major benefit. If you’re interested in some good Druapl contract work – send me an email and I’ll point you in the right direction

Or maybe your resume is simply not highlighted properly.

There are a lot of freelance works in this creative field, why snuggle under some company and boss? Great if you get the right place.

Write to a company (or the right departmental head)that has potential to pay you so that you would be interested to demonstrate a sample which is better suited for their business. Never give them a screen shot. ask for Payment if they ask for it. If they say, they have to show to the management, reply You are happy to give a group demo and please ask for more feedback to implement more goodies. [when i hear goodies...i can hear pen scribbling over the cheque book, ]

We have “back end” and GUI to help you understand in layman terms. In the back ground, we refer to the “back end” is the place where all data will reside for manipulative relationship. Your typical idea of database can come here.

The next time you visit this site, your ip address is matched and your name pops up when you write a new message. Who did that?

The GUI is the Graphical User Interface. The way you find your way around this site. It depends on how the site designer wants you to enjoy finding the pages.

There is one more layer that plays between the GUI and back end that helps to do the talking between them.

So to finish, unlike a chef, two important concepts come to integrate – the programmer and the site designer – one thinks of technical solutions on manageability of data while the other thinks of option visibility and comfortable interaction.

A one man [or a woman in this case] show to handle all these ideas with one brain and the time to fiddle with more ideas is a personal quest to the prefect site.

Like a medical surgeon who stands in the mist of medical tools, Mona is in a position to use those finger and give commands over the various tools and weave her creative juices.

Its so nice…
… to live for the moment…
… to think for eternity…

well almost to eternity. Thomas Edison had a very poor studying skill in terms of how we consider schooling. Dyslexia hampered his schooling, that his mother decided to teach him. Even at the age of 15 he was writing like that of a 5 yr old.

Many years later, when his lab burned down, he was reported to have said, let start over again, and continued to produce a number of inventions that he patented.

Whats the connection? Do we see beyond our time frame? If Edison enjoyed his work, has he ever thought of us who enjoy the benefits of his tinkering? We will never know his mind, but we are enjoying his work.

Hope you too will have wonderful thoughts on how you see these dragging times. Personally I don’t think of others how they fit in this complex puzzle, i broke down due to reoccurring infinity results that shows up most of the time.
