I morse var det dramatiskt värre här hemma. Som jag berättat förut så har Smulan, efter 4 år, börjat gå upp på övervåningen. För ett tag sen blev hon av nån anledning stående mitt i trappan så de hala baktassarna sköt på bakifrån vilket gjorde att hon kanade nedför trappan mer eller mindre på rumpan (allt gick bra men hon blev lite skraj såklart) och sedan dess har hon inte gått upp igen. Igår kväll verkade hon ändå ha glömt det och kom lufsandes upp till sovrummet, och det var ju trevligt – ända tills hon skulle ned imorse. Det var lögn i helsike att få med henne, jag var ensam hemma så jag försökte med allt från lock & pock till en mycket övertygande bestämdhet. Inget hjälper tyvärr när drama-queen Smulan inte vill! Och att bära 60 kg skraj Leonberger nedför en brant trappa var liksom inget alternativ.

Hämtade spårselen i hopp om att hon skulle känna sej trygg med att jag höll henne i ett fast grepp – fungerade inte. Smörjde in tassarna med en kärv tassalva – fungerade inte. Hon flämtade och stog i och jag såg att hon verkligen var nödig så det fick bli en panikåtgärd – packtejp runt tassarna med kladdiga sidan ut ;-D. Sen tog jag ett fast grepp i selen och mer eller mindre drog med henne ned! Nu ska det investeras i 4  sock-i-plast! Undrar bara vilken storlek hon drar och vilken färg hon gillar...

Annelie fotade lite på MH:t i söndags så här kommer lite bilder! Tack snälla Annelie för bilder och support.

Creating such a system for F-Script can draw from techniques already in use with some latently typed languages. Beside, in the case of F-Script, there is a way to improve the efficiency of these techniques to produce a powerful and effective type inference system. The key point is that while F-Script code is largely exempt of explicit typing, most methods invoked from F-Script are actually Objective-C methods for which explicit typing information is often available. This means that we have a massive amount of type information we can feed the type inference system with, making it easier for it to infer new type information in F-Script code and, ultimately, to detect potential programming errors (or to help with automatic optimization, etc.)

This interesting approach is presented by Andrew Weinrich and Ben Liblit, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in « Type Inference in Mixed Compiled / Scripting Environments ». In particular, they describe how it is implemented in flint a type checking and static analysis tool for F-Script under development.

Summary:
Programs written in statically-typed languages are commonly extended with scripting engines that manipulate objects in the compiled layer. These scripting environments enhance the capabilities of the program, at the cost of additional errors that would be caught by compile-time type checking. This paper describes a system for using type information from the compiled, statically-typed layer to perform type inference and checking on scripting code. To improve the quality of analysis, idiomatic rules based on common programming patterns are used to supplement the type-inference process. A proof-of-concept of this system is shown in flint, a type-checking tool for the language F-Script.

I lördags morse var det uppställning för spårning! Bästa att vara ute i god tid innan alla svampplockare invaderar skogen tänkte vi (Annelie, Petra, Therese, Camilla och jag), men i det där grå ruggvädret var det inte många fler än vi som vågat sej ut. 5 blodspår och 5 personspår skulle läggas och som tur är finns det många bra spårmarker i närheten av där vi bor så det gick ju som en dans. Jag drog iväg för ett lååååångt personspår till den söta cockerkillen Gus. Har inte träffat honom eller matte Therese förut men hört mycket gott och minsann snokat lite på deras hemsida och sett vad duktiga de är ;-) Camilla var snäll och la ett spår till Smulan. Jag tyckte att hon kunde behöva få lite utmaningar eftersom hon mest får gå i mina fotspår annars och det kan ju inte vara så spännande och utvecklande i längden.

Efter lite fika kollade vi på Milton som skulle gå sitt livs andra viltspår. Han var jättenoga och superduktig. Känns som att Petra fått en liten kick så det dröjer nog inte förrän de har fått till ett anlagsprov.

Gus ja, han drog iväg i mina spår, mitt i spårkärnan och plockade den första apporten utan problem. Sen blev det lite trubbel – stor beundran för Therese tålamod medan han "vimsade" omkring, jag hade aldrig hållit ut så länge - tills han till slut hittade rätt och la i sista växeln. Över stock och sten, några djupa traktorspår fulla med vatten kom han hem med alla apporter! Imponerande arbete!

Efter 3 timmars liggtid (låååååångt!) var det då dags för Smulan. Hon brukar ju vara lite trög i början så tack-och-lov låg första apporten inte mer än max 100 meter in på spåret. När hon tagit den märktes en klart ökad intensitet och intresse. Hon kämpade och slet i vinklarna, som tyvärr är hennes svagaste sida, tog en spetsvinkel utan större problem och klarade även ut lite trixigheter över ett dike. Kändes som att jag fått en tankeställare av Therese tålamod så Smulan fick ta sin tid att reda ut alla problem för egen tass. Och det fixade hon ju, med alla pinnar (6 ?!) hem!

Tack för en supertrevlig förmiddag, det gör vi väl snart om?!

Mark Driver, an analyst at Gartner, has an just published an interesting article noting the resurgence of interest in Smalltalk. He says that developers owe a tremendous debt to Smalltalk but the language itself has been relegated to a small niche of technology elites for several years now. He reasons that this was because it introduced so many new concepts that the developer community is only now coming to appreciate.

He suggests a number of catalysts for the sudden revival of Smalltalk:

• Open source Smalltalks encouraging less vendor lock-in.
• An understanding of the importance of Smalltalk to the designers of Python and Ruby.
• And of course, the excitement that Seaside has sparked.

Read the article for more details, and some very interesting comments.

The input of the action (i.e., the output of the previous action) is automatically bound to a variable named "input" in the F-Script workspace. Usually, it is an NSArray object. The output of the action is the value of the last F-Script expression executed in the custom F-Script code (automatically boxed in an NSArray if needed).

You'll need to have the F-Script framework (download here) installed in /Library/Frameworks/ or ~/Library/Frameworks/.

Enjoy!

First, just like the Phoenix, Dolphin Smalltalk came back from the dead!  This is good news, exciting news in fact!  You can read about it here!  I haven't bought that professional license for nothing finally!

Lots of action in the Smalltalk world.  Squeak's popularity grows exponentially (Seaside helps let's say!) and more and more people are coming to the Squeak IRC channel, day after day!  There's also a new Squeak fork called Pharo and looking at who's on the Pharo team, you can be sure this thing will succeed (sans l'ombre d'un doute monsieur Ducasse)!

Yep, still working on that baseball project of mine and doing lots of MySQL and benchmarking various stuff (I've been working on some rather heavy and complex ORDER BY optimizations lately, so much that I think I could write an article about it... This is on the could-be-possible list).  My hard disk is busy 24/7 these days!  While I'm on the database subject, those of you needing some funky SQL stuff might want to buy the excellent book, SQL Hacks.  I'd also recommend Baseball Hacks: Tips & Tools for Analyzing and Winning with Statistics to all serious baseball fanatics.

On the pleasant surprise side, I recently came across an excellent DB2 podcast.  Even though it primarily targets DB/2 for z/OS, this stuff is excellent, funny, entertaining, really informative and those two experts know their DB/2 stuff inside out.  The 2 series of podcasts focus on real solutions to real problems for real-life applications!  Emphasis is on performance and it's really educative!  Really!  A must-hear !

In the musical department, for some reason unknown to myself and to my brain, I keep switching from Death Magnetic (Metallica) to Hard Candy (Madonna).  Don't know if that helps coding by it keeps me happy all day long!  And let's be honest, anything that is not Hannah Montana related would keep me happy...  Three little girls listening to the same songs over and over ain't something you can tolerate for too long, especially when they decide to sing the songs they listen to!  On the serious side of music (I'm a HUGE Rush fan!), I can't wait for the DVD of the Snakes & Arrows tour!

Finally, looking at some mathematical stuff for... fun.  I have been looking at the  "Resta" integer sequence lately and I'm thinking about ways to expand the sequence and discover new terms and how I'd do it algorithm-wise.

On a final note, Trailer Park Boys rules!  ;)

P.S.  Yes, we do have an election in Canada coming but ours is sooooooooooo boring that we follow the US campaign with a lot more interest!  Eh!?!  Can we vote?!?!

• Better error detection and reporting when defining new classes
• Support in the runtime for subclassing F-Script classes in Objective-C
• A literal syntax for hexadecimal numbers (finally!). Standard Smalltalk syntax; e.g., 16rFF5A.
• Support for using the ~~ message with nil as a receiver
• Various internal improvements

In addition, there will be a couple of language adjustments in F-Script 2.0, and this alpha contains one of them, as described below.

In F-Script 1.x, equality and inequality operators (i.e., = and ~=) are provided for all objects. They are implemented in a category of NSObject, and rely on the standard Cocoa isEqual: method to determine equality.

This is convenient but leads to a small amount of added conceptual complexity in a few situations related to array programming. Since life is better when even the slightest unneeded complexity is taken away, F-Script 2.0 changes this (remember that F-Script integrates array programming and Cocoa together and we want to do it with zero impedance mismatch). In F-Script 2.0, = and ~= are no longer provided at the NSObject level. The standard generic method for testing objects equality in Cocoa is isEqual:, and you can use it with F-Script too.

Of course, just removing = and ~= and be done with it would horribly break compatibility between F-Script 2.x and code written for F-Script 1.x. In addition, we would really miss these nice operators...

Well, don't panic. While these operators are no longer provided by default for all objects, they are implemented for a number of objects, such as NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSValue, FSBoolean... This covers the vast majority of current and desirable usage and you can also implement them for your own classes if that make sense.

In addition, F-Script 2.x comes with the magic needed to maintain backward compatibility with existing code in the few remaining cases where your F-Script 1.x code might send = or ~= messages to objects that relied on the default implementation provided by the NSObject category in F-Script 1.x. In such cases, all will work as usual and F-Script will log a warning suggesting you change your code to use isEqual:.

If you want to, you can turn off this magic backward compatibility system by using the MaintainFScript1EqualityOperatorsSemantics user default, on an per application basis. For instance, to turn it off for the F-Script application, type the following in the Mac OS X terminal:

defaults write org.fscript.fscriptapp MaintainFScript1EqualityOperatorsSemantics NO

To reactivate it, type:

defaults write org.fscript.fscriptapp MaintainFScript1EqualityOperatorsSemantics YES

Kanskje du har et ambivalent forhold til smalltalk. Men vi kan kanskje bli enige om at når det er noen år siden vi har sett hverandre, kan vi begynne med: "Fint å se deg!" Vi kan vente noen timer og noen drinker før vi går rett til gudstro og private bunnlinjer. Istedet kan vi, til vi har plassert ansikt og herkomst, snakke litt om været, litt om antrekk, søte hverdagslige blemmer, hvor absurd fantastisk Ushers 'moving mountains' er, hvorfor det plutselig er greit med pompøs fløtemusikk, jumpstyle jumping, hvorfor vi sluttet å hate og begynte å elske hippier en eller annen gang i fjor vår og kanskje driste oss til å trekke en slutning om at det kan ha noe med klimakrisen å gjøre. Bare et forslag. Fint å se deg, da! Håper du har hatt en fin dag så langt. Kom du deg fint fram til denne posten? Godt å høre. Snakkes om ikke lenge! Du ser forresten fabelaktig ut - som alltid!

Nach der ungeplanten Störung am Sonntagvormittag konnte doch noch der lange geplante Besuch bei der Feuerwehr Eupen im Nachbarland Belgien stattfinden.

Die belgischen Straßen wurden zum überwiegenden Teil ihrem schlechten Ruf gerecht, so dass wir bei unserer Ankunft froh waren, aussteigen zu dürfen ... Knochen sortieren.

Die Veranstaltung war gut besucht, und in der mit Tischen und Bänken vollgestellten Fahrzeughalle war kaum ein freies Plätzchen zu ergattern. Neben Kaffee und Kuchen gab es selbstverständlich auch die für Belgien typischen Fritten-Gerichte mit den verschiedensten Beilagen, von Bratrolle bis hin zum Kotelett. Die Preise fanden wir mit 1,30 € pro Märkchen und z.B. 1 Märkchen für ein Stück Trockenkuchen, 2 Märkchen für ein Stück Sahnetorte etwas arg hoch - für Leute mit schmalem Geldbeutel und für Familien war da nicht viel drin.

In einer kleineren Nebenhalle wurde das Thema Brandschutzerziehung und -aufklärung vorgestellt, und hier konnten Kinder auch unter Anleitung eigene einfache Brandversuche durchführen.

Die Einsatzfahrzeuge, immerhin an die 20 Stück, waren auf der angrenzenden Straße und dem Vorplatz der Feuerwache ausgestellt. Bemerkenswert war das Altersspektrum der Fahrzeuge, es wurde praktisch der gesamte Zeitraum von 1963 bis heute abgedeckt ... wobei alle (!) Fahrzeuge noch im aktiven Einsatzdienst sind, wenn auch die Veteranen inzwischen "ins zweite Glied" gerückt sind. Die Entwicklung der Feuerwehrfahrzeuge ließ sich sehr schön verfolgen. Ab und an hätten wir uns lediglich ein paar mehr Informationen zu den einzelnen Gefährten gewünscht, da hätte es schon eine Übersicht mit den wichtigsten Daten auf einem Zettel an der Scheibe getan (auf Nachfrage wurde aber auch gerne Auskunft gegeben).

Das Bild oben zeigt übrigens die Drehleiter DL-30, Baujahr 1963. Wer alle Fahrzeuge sehen möchte, kann auf der Internetseite der Feuerwehr Eupen (unter "Standort", dann über den Button "Fuhrpark") nachsehen. Aber Vorsicht, es handelt sich um eine "Klicki-bunti"-Seite, also nicht erschrecken.  ;-)

Nach der ausführlichen Begutachtung der Fahrzeuge und ein paar netten Gesprächen mit anderen Feuerwehrleuten traten wir den Heimweg an - zwar ein kleines bisschen enttäuscht, weil wir uns etwas mehr "Action", z.B. in Form von Vorführungen, oder auch etwas detailierte Technik-Ausstellungen gewünscht hätten, aber alles in allem war es ein schöner Besuch.

Once I had the basic prototype working I needed to really hammer the server, but neither siege nor jcrawler does a good enough job (siege doesn't crawl a site and jcrawler sends concurrent requests for the same Seaside session) so I started work on a Seaside-aware load testing tool called scrawler. Scrawler needs a a real good HTTP client and the HTTP client (HyHTTPClient) in the latest version of Hyper from Bruce Badger is perfect - which explains why I was porting the latest versions of Sport and Hyper to GLASS last week.

Over the weekend Dario Trussardi reported a problem with MAFileDescription which turned into Bug39648 and a few other GemStone-specific issues related to MAExternalFile model. By Monday, I'd resolved Dario's problem and I figured what the heck, while I was in the neighborhood I might as well merge in the latest Magritte code from Lukas. And while I'm merging code from Lukas, I might as well pick up the latest code for Scriptaculous and Pier.

The ink wasn't even dry on my Pier merge, when I received mail from Doru, announcing Pier 1.0.17. Talk about synchronicity. Had events (spanning the globe) been conspiring all month long to converge at this moment in time?....Nope, but we do have a pending final release for GemStone/S 64 version 2.3, so I got my giddy up on and updated to Pier 1.0.17.

After the smoke cleared, I ended up including a number of new packages in the GLASS package:

• Pier-Design-tg.5, Pier-Documents-lr.7, Pier-Google-lr.5, Pier-LightBox-dc.6, Pier-Randomizer-lr.4, Pier-TagCloud-lr.11, Pier-Titles-tg.1, Pier-Twitter-lr.7 Pier-Setup-tg.30 to conform with Pier 1.0.17.
• XML-Parser.g-dkh.14 for Pier-Twitter support.

The following bug fixes are also included in this update:

• Bug39648 - FileDirectory>>forceNewFileNamed: doesn't ensure creation of subdirectories.
• Bug39357 - appliance 1.0 beta10 gems get commit conflicts on first startup.
• Bug39413 - 'Magritte implements #description: which interferes with subclass creation'.
• fixed duration string generation (RSRSS2) from Philippe Marschall.
• MAFileDescription upload problem reported by Dario Trussardi.

The update is published as GLASS-dkh.122 (2.2.5) and GLASS.230-dkh.162 (2.3 beta 2 or 1.0beta10). These two versions can be used with GemStone-jgf.291 (Squeak client) or later. All of the versions can be found in the GLASS project on GemSource. If you are running with a version of the GLASS package that is earlier than GLASS-dkh.118 or GLASS.230-dkh.146, then you need to follow these instructions first. After loading the GLASS package you should evaluate the following two expressions in a workspace:

1. MADescriptionBuilder initialize.
2. PRDistribution new register.

The first expression picks up some new initialization code and the second expression installs Pier 1.0.17 as a Seaside application.

In GemStone-obi.293 Gerhard Obermann changed the layout of the Transcript Window to allow more buttons, added a Find Substring button, and arranaged for SHIFT-click on the Debug button to empty the Object Log. Personally, I've moved to this version of the Squeak client as I think it is an improvement.

If you are running in 2.3 beta 2 or 1.0beta10 then you only need to load GemStone-obi.293 into your Squeak client, save the Squeak image and you are done.

If you are running in a 2.2.5 repository then you have a couple of options:

1. Download the single-click Squeak client for 2.2 (download) from GLASS downloads and then load GemStone-obi.293. RECOMMENDED.
2. Update your existing Squeak image (presumably using GemStone-dkh.283)
   1. start the Squeak client image.
   2. load GemStone-obi.293.
   3. save the image and exit.
   4. copy (or use a symbolic link) the GCI library (location in top pane of the Login Window) to a file named gciForLinux.so, gciForMacintosh.so or gciForWindows.dll, depending upon your client platform.
   5. restart the image and log in to GLASS.

Keep an eye out for the announcement of the final release of GemStone/S 64 version 2.3 which should be coming soon.

I'm using Wink to create a demo of my new new Squeak/Seaside application that connects talent agencies with advertising agencies.  Here is a link to the my demo of how to use our search functionality.  It took me about an hour to get used to the demo software (make the mouse movements match up with my desired actions & record audio that matched).  I am planning on doing several demos like this one to show users how to perform various actions on the site.

She is also involved in Mitchel Resnick's Scratch project at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch is an interesting visual programming environment written in Squeak, and so in pure Smalltalk, and based on Alan Kay's Etoys. Etoys is pre-installed on all the 100$ laptops of the One Laptop per Child association, and is written in Squeak as well.

Let's hope the new generation of young programmers coming from Etoys or Scratch will be able to return to Smalltalk!

That's my new job and I just LOVE it!

Skogen är full av svamp och häromdagen lyckades jag och Smulan springa över ett helt stim av gula kantareller. Inget med oss att plocka i så det blev till att gå tillbaka lite senare på dagen – vilken lycka!

Skogen har en del andra spännande saker att bjuda på också. VI HAR VARGEN HÄR!!! Grannen såg den på en morgon på en åker bara 100 meter från oss och några dagar senare sprang den över vägen när husse skulle till jobbet. Tyvärr har den rivit en del får så jaktlaget är på krigsstigen. För mej får den gärna vara... den är säkert mer rädd för mej än jag för den.

Annars har det varit rätt bitchigt här hemma igen för nu var det Tess tur att löpa. Såååå himla pipig och gnällig. Stackar´n – kanske har vargen smugit förbi så att hon är lite extra kärlekskrank. Har försökt få henne att tänka på annat och har varit otroligt flitig med träningen. Var ju på kurs hos Maria Hagström för ett tag sen och fick massor av små, värdefulla tips med hem så vi avancerar i rask takt. Gäller bara att man själv håller huvudet kallt och inte har för bråttom som vanligt. Smulan är riktigt på gång och t o m träningsvillig som aldrig förr här hemma på tomten. Tyvärr har vi inte tagit oss till klubben för tiden vill tyvärr inte riktigt räcka till, men jag försöker att köra ett pass här hemma mer eller mindre varje dag. Lite spårning har det blivit också, både för träning och aktivitet. Har kört en aktivitetsbana i skogen med Tess några gånger – en mycket spännande upplevelse. Mest för att få henne att bli lite mer uppmärksam och fokuserad istället för att bara springa runt som en idiot i skogen. Blandat resultat och jag har fortfarande en "idiot" i linan ska tilläggas ;-)

Så vill vi såklart gratulera Shiku & Petra till det danska championatet idag! Ett grattis till Marie och Minna också som lyckades med uppflytt till öppenklass i vattenarbete!

Man merkt, es wird keine leichte Geburt. Es wird eine Geburt im Schatten der CS4 und das ist vielleicht gar nicht schlecht. Bis ich meinen Stil finde und sich mein Blog auf seinen Koordinaten in deutschsprachigen Bloguniversum einpendelt ist es mir gerade recht.

Der Name des Blogs hat mehrere Arten, wie er gelesen werden kann. Man kann ihn als "A Flex World", also "Eine Flex Welt" lesen, was die meisten auch auf Anhieb tun werden. Aber er kann auch als "Aflex' World" gelesen werden. Aflex ist mein Spitzname unter meinen Arbeitskollegen, da ich mich sehr viel um das Produkt Flex kümmere. 

Themen, die sich hier in Zukunft wiederfinden werden, werden sich selbstverstänlich um die drei großen Bereiche Developer, Web/DMO (Production Premium) und Acrobat Connect drehen. Allerdings interessiere ich mich für zwei weitere Themen ganz besonderns, nämlich Multitouch und Video als Content im Internet. Folglich werde ich hierzu auch so oft wie möglich versuchen interessante Beiträge zu bringen. 

Und apropos interessante Beiträge. Wie oben schon erwähnt, werden die verschiedensten Zielgruppen dieses Blog lesen, jede aus ihrer ganz persönlichen Neugierde. Da wird es sich nicht vermeiden lassen, dass manche Beiträge für manche Leute weniger interessant sein werden. Nicht jeder interessiert sich für Flex und Production Premium und Acrobat Connect und Multitouch und Flash Media Server und und und. Aber das ist nicht weiter schlimm. Man kann ja solche Beiträge gekonnt quer in 3,28 Sekunden durchlesen oder vielleicht einfach auf etwas neues und interessantes stoßen.

So, genug der langen Worte. Ich muss packen. Morgen geht es auf die Photokina, da Übermorgen, am 23., der große Tag ist. CS4 kommt.

It's going to be brilliant!

Nach dem Einkauf Abendbrot,

ab auf die Couch, Füße hoch.

Fernseher an, Tagesschau,

anschließend zappen - schau dich schlau.

Programm ist mies, Computer an,

schöner Chat – da bleibt man dran.

Blick auf die Uhr, bloß ab ins Bett!

Kissen richten, Decke hochziehen – so ist`s nett.

Schönste Träume, mittendrin:

DILIIIE-DILIIIEHHHH ... brimm ...

Erschreckte Blicke, wildes Fluchen,

Stiefel anziehen, Schlüssel suchen.

Dieselauto vorglühen, warten,

Lämpchen aus, Fahrzeug starten.

Konzentriert durch leere Straßen fahren,

sich dabei zur Vorsicht mahnen.

Angekommen am Gerätehaus,

unser Fahrzeug ist noch gar nicht raus.

Jacke anziehen, Gürtel greifen, Helm aufsetzen,

„Morgen!“ murmeln, Funk abfragen, Lage schätzen.

Andere sind schon vor uns da,

das ist nicht schlimm, das kennen wir ja.

Meldung „Kleinbrand, Feuer schwarz, ihr könnt nach Hause“ ...

.. danke, ich brauch ganz dringend auch ´ne Pinkelpause.

Klamotten aufhängen, Liste schreiben,

noch kurz auf ´ne Cola bleiben.

Rückfahrt durch die leeren Straßen,

Auto in Garage parken.

Stiefel ausziehen, Schlüssel verlegen,

kurz ins Bad und Hände pflegen.

Zurück ins warme Schlafgemach,

Kissen richten, Decke hochziehen – wach.

Von links nach rechts, von Bauch auf Rücken,

das Einschlafen will und will nicht glücken.

Endlich ist es doch geschafft

... durch Wecker wieder aufgewacht.

Das ist doch erst Minuten her ... ?

Kopf und Glieder sind ganz schwer.

Zwei Stündchen mehr Schlaf wären gut

... wofür man das alles eigentlich tut?

( .... mir war so danach.)

Note to photoshop experts: I am not skilled in the way of the photoshop; I used Gimp 2 which crashed on me many, many times...

(Just so you know, I only know about this stuff cause I read a lot - I am no expert so don't go citing me in your thesis - I am not a rocket scientist)

Sometime next month, a ring-shaped super-gadget called the Large Hadron Collider will begin shooting particles at each other at just under the speed of light (they started it up last Wednesday). Now at first glance, that might sound like boring science to your average video-gaming youth minister – but I actually think this is kind of an interesting event for Christians. Here are some facts:

1. The LHC is a 17-mile-long circular space-age looking “tunnel” of magnets, metal, wiring, and computers that has been built underground near Geneva on the France/Switzerland border. It took around 20 years to build and the price tag is estimated to be around 5 billion dollars (so far).

2. Its main function is the aforementioned shooting of beams of particles at each other and observing the results… tiny explosions!!! Possibly small black holes?! (this does sound like fun).

3. We have a smaller one in Illinois that does the same thing.

4. Studies have had good benefits and practical applications in the medical field and other places.

5. They are going to try and “recreate” a miniature “big-bang”…

6. They are hoping to prove the existence of the “Higgs boson” particle that they believe gives matter mass (in other words, what makes stuff real).

7. They are looking for additional dimensions (seriously).

8. They are looking for many other unknowns that would point to why and how we exist.

Now normally I wouldn’t be interested in this stuff – science is not my strongest subject – but this is definitely interesting; I’m convinced that science is looking for God and doesn’t know it. Now obviously I don’t believe the same way they do, but I’m happy that they are looking into creation. People want to know where they come from. People want to know why we exist and what makes us who we are. People are curious. And I think that’s a good thing.

Many Christians may be offended by all of it (ever think we get offended to easily?); but I personally can’t wait ‘til they discover evidence of the Creator’s touch in the studies they conduct – even if they call it something else. I just hope and pray they will follow the evidence wherever it leads… And I hope that at the end of it all some scientists will find that it’s a “Who” that holds the universe together rather than a “what.”

Colossians 1:17

I also hope that the thing doesn’t blow up France.

Big thank you’s all around for those that helped with the Fall Kick-Off. Now, no more lock-ins ‘til 2014; I may recover by then :)
