Azio’s Computer Log

Finally, yay Finally, I have worked my butt off so hard at my new job in London - that I have run out of things to do, other than learning c# and .NET which feels like an ongoing process that will last forever and ever (evil laughs bellow from the background).

It finally seems like I’m getting somewhere. I must have re-learnt 5 different languages in the last 5 months, and learnt 5 new ones. Now I’ve got a pretty firm grip of xhtml + CSS, so I look forward to doing some good CSS button + layout guides, and some xhtml ones too.

Also I’ve been doing a lot of PHP/MYSQL work (yup, new dayjob keeps me super busy!) - so I should have lots and lots to talk about, instead of our usual hack, crack, thankyou - welcome back.

This is a favourite topic of mine, in fact, most of my favourite topics involve some efficiency, efficacy or a tumbling tantrum of some kind. This post is about an important abstraction that free-thinkers, security personnel, and contractors all should be aware of.

Sometimes the information you know that isn’t relevant, identifies what is

Have you ever heard the saying of? It’s easier to write down all the people not attending than the people attending, or vice versa? It’s a logical abstraction we all live with, and use on a daily basis. Then again, it’s not really something we understand. Mainly because not many people stop for a moment to think about what really is occuring.

Again, it’s the difference between painting most of a black peice of paper white to see black text and painting a little bit of text on a sheet of paper thats white already.

There is a major factor of economy, usability, functionality & most importantly of all, it affects the difficulty of implementation. This sort of abstraction is worth using in day to day life.

It’s pretty strange really because this seems such a similar topic as my macroverse and microverse theory. It’s a pivotted, balanced, closed system. However, the “way” in which you close it is, optional. I like that in a topic.

Peace,
A
