bkil vs. programming

I heard somebody starting to spread the rumor that sticky note was invented by accident. The anecdote went on to say that they'd first invented a bad glue, almost threw it away, but then found a use for it after somebody accidentally applied it on the back side of a small piece of paper. This is plain simply false . This invention has seen an exhaustive proof of concept phase by an individual, being demoed in a trade show, and then being blatantly copied and entering mass production after a slow and difficult start. [Alan]  Amron said his idea in 1973 came about with chewing gum. He was looking for a way to stick a note on his refrigerator for his wife and used gum, providing inspiration for the adhesive he would use on his Press-on Memo. That year he took the sticky notes to a New York trade show and met briefly with two 3M executives, Amron said, but nothing came of the meeting. Fry and Silver [from 3M] came up with what 3M originally called the Press ‘n’ Peel memo pad in 19...

The episode titled A Hug For Grouchy  aired on  11/5/1983 . This episode revolved around the old tradition of Hug A Smurf Day . On this day, it is customary to give a hug to anyone we meet. It is hinted at by Chlorhydris, the witch, that other creatures have also taken over this tradition. For your information,  The Smurfs  was a cartoon in which little blue communist guys enjoyed their everyday happy lives until the big bad cheater capitalist shows up and tries to turn them into gold. However, thanks to obeying their totalitarian leader, the power of the community always wins the battle over the egoistic individual. I wonder whether the original inventors or the early birds of spreading the Free Hugs Campaign  have seen this episode. By the way, this series could be subject to a great deal of analysis.

Many have desired to collaborate in the development of Google Apps Scripts. Two outstanding issues had been open for some time in this area: Issue 1959: Collaborative editing of scripts Issue 217: Make Google Code the back-end version control for collaborative scripting A feature offered from June enables API access of script source code. This potentially enables connection to an external repository, like Google Code or GitHub. See the linked screencast and talk or the API below. YouTube: Apps Script Crash Course: Import/Export Apps Script Code Google Developers: Importing and Exporting Projects After breaking this barrier, I can now start gathering some of my more useful scripts to share via bkil-open, though I'll probably simply copy&paste for now.

It was developed by CMU students, inspired by TIM, The Incredible Machine . Here's a short video clip of the cute game mechanics . I've discovered this pearl when browsing the Open Source Versions of The Incredible Machine wiki at project Butterfly Effect.

My project has reached high activity status this weekend. I must thank all committers. Keep up the good work! ;-) Note that a major portion of my sources is still not up. Fortunately, gradual progress is easy and effortless. A central repository is a comfortable sharing method. It keeps the work synchronized on all 4 computers I regularly use.

I plan to share my sources via a software project management suite. From now on, you could even contribute if you wish! You could also follow project updates (commits, documentation pages, releases, etc.) in your feed reader. I don't have a problem with using Google's products for open source development, but do tell me if you think otherwise. Kosi had recommended GitHub, but it doesn't offer all features I need, and I'm hesitant to spread over many service providers.
