| 53 YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR |
| |
| |
| In Southern Mid- and Late Lent |
| |
| These months, especially Late Lent, are characterized by |
| the creative introduction of various JavaScript |
| features, such as the possibility to use different words |
| and/or names in the same text and the possibility to |
| have the user enter certain data which are then |
| processed. |
| Thanks to a new little JavaScript program it is not |
| necessary anymore to designate pictures by means of |
| their number in the document. In the case of triple |
| pictures at one place this yielded very different |
| results for different browsers, as they assign different |
| numbers to the same picture (with the exception of the |
| number 0 for the first one). In practise this means that |
| triple pictures which are not placed at the beginning |
| are becoming visible with a Netscape browser when |
| pointing the mouse arrow at them, and when withdrawing |
| that arrow again. There were no such problems with |
| Internet Explorer 4.0, because the absolute numbers used |
| in the source code were those of that browser. |
| 65: The visitor can now personalize the Main Document |
| by entering 'er own name, which will appear at three |
| different places. Moreover, together with the Main Index |
| page and the Year-Week-Day Code page, this document now |
| shows the current date in number of years after the end |
| of the Second World War and using the Metric Calendar. A |
| 64: special document with the title 'Go Global, Go Metric' |
| has now been added which not only shows today's date, |
| but which also explains the meaning of the Year-Week-Day |
| and Year-Month-Day codes. This same document has a |
| JavaScript device for automatically converting any |
| religious-imperial date after 21 December 1945 to the |
| metric equivalent, which makes this document the most |
| 'interactive' one of this moment. |
| Not being finished yet --and will it ever?-- the |
| work on the Vocabulary of Alliteration continues |
| 63: unabated. Meanwhile, the sounds |D|, |F| and |M| have |
| been made available as well. |
| |
| |
| In Southern Equinoctial and Early Lent |
| |
| During these months much attention was paid to the |
| layout of documents, in which the presence of overall |
| site links is now becoming more and more general. Thus, |
| the Catenas at the top and at the bottom of each |
| document proper will provide immediate access to the |
| main index in future (and so will the space key in |
| combination with ALT or CMD). The Catena button at the |
| bottom, in the center, will henceforth link the user to |
| the Main Document file, alliteratively referred to as |
| the Top of the TRINPsite Tree of files. |
| 62: Saxifrax, now turned into HTM format, is an example |
| of a document with the above-mentioned two links to the |
| main index and document as well as three more specific |
| top-center, bottom-left and bottom-right links once to |
| be found throughout the whole system. These links are |
| made possible by the variable link pages. |
| The five TRINP-value documents near the top of the |
| tree were reformatted too. |
| 61: The Tripartite Structure of The Catena, a file to which |
| Neutrality provides a direct link, is now available in a |
| graphic HTM format. |
| 60: A document such as The Yule of the Turkeys has been |
| changed considerably in order to make it look better on |
| paper, when printed out. In other documents smaller |
| changes were made for the same reason. |
| The Vocabulary of Alliteration has been extended |
| 59: with the sound |V|, while words have been added to other |
| sounds already available. |
| The gradual introduction of style sheet features |
| has only just started. With one particular browser which |
| can and does use one particular type of style sheet this |
| new tool is a remarkable improvement indeed, but given |
| the fact that, in practise, people use different |
| browsers that can and cannot handle style sheets or that |
| apply different style sheets there is enough reason not |
| to rely on style sheet features too much at the moment. |
| |
| |
| In Southern Mid-Yule |
| |
| The complete Final Anagnorisis can now not only be read |
| 58: but also listened to in both WAV and MP3 format. At the |
| same time the text of the beginning of the main document |
| has been deleted as a sound file. |
| 57: The Sparrow in the Banqueting Hall is a short |
| essay, with some characteristics of a short story, which |
| can be found under Notes. Two places on the index page |
| provide a link to this text document, and you can make a |
| sparrow fly from the one place to the other by pointing |
| with your mouse arrow at it (at least if you use a |
| browser which can cope with series of three separate |
| pictures at one place). The flight of the sparrow is not |
| mere fun but a serious matter as well, as the text |
| linked to will make clear. |
| The poem Saxifrax is not new, nor has it been |
| changed, but the graphic representation of this poem now |
| includes 'real' sassafras leaves. They are the scanned |
| copies of dried leaves, and not the hand-drawn (or |
| rather mouse-drawn) specimens as found elsewhere in |
| TRINPsite. |
| A new technical feature is the introduction of |
| so-called "variable link pages". The variable links are |
| the links at the top (center) and at the bottom (left |
| and right) of each standard document. For each of these |
| three locations these links connect a picture, or rather |
| a series of three pictures, to a certain document at the |
| same, or a higher or a lower level. This 'reference' |
| document itself, however, is not named explicitly in the |
| document with the picture which is connected to it. The |
| code of that document only contains the name of the |
| variable link page, and this page, in turn, is either |
| the same as the specific document linked to or a page |
| with a 'Refresh' meta-statement which puts the browser |
| thru to that document immediately. The advantage of such |
| variable document names, in addition to the variable |
| picture names, is that the three series of three |
| pictures in each standard document and the three |
| reference documents to which they are connected can all |
| be changed at one point at once without having to change |
| any names in the numerous separate standard documents of |
| the TRINPsite tree of files. |
| Another new feature is the introduction of multiple |
| viewing from the index page, which may be specially |
| interesting to those who use a horizontal resolution of |
| more than 640 pixels. As standard documents are designed |
| for a width of only a little bit more than 600 pixels, |
| those with a much wider screen will benefit from the |
| possibility to leave the index page visible on the left |
| of their screen. They can then choose an item from that |
| index and see the document chosen on the right, without |
| 'losing' the index itself. This is also possible for a |
| width of 640 pixels, but then the document chosen can |
| only be shown in part and you will have to start |
| scrolling in order to see the right side of the |
| document, something which is not necessary in any |
| TRINPsite document if you stick to one frameless window. |
| |
| |
| In Equatorial Month and Southern Early Yule |
| |
| Several changes have been made to the list of TRINPsite |
| 56: sound files. It is now possible not only to listen to |
| the first and last stanza of the poem To Ananda, but |
| 55: also to the song Ananda in MP3 format (the first stanza |
| 54: of the poem). The Wheel That Turns, A Cyclic Song (the |
| fourth Wheel Poem), has been added in MP3 format too. |
| For the first time original Model figures have been |
| put on Internet. One way of accessing them is by going |
| 53: to the List of Figures, and by proceeding from there. |
| 52: The figure called The Question of Denominational Primacy |
| has not (yet) been scanned from the original, but is |
| made available in the shape of an HTML table. |
| 51: In the Vocabulary of Alliteration the sounds |H|, |
| |L|, |N|, |P|, |R|, |S| and |T| have been made |
| accessible in addition to the sound |K|. |
| Changes in the presentation and format of the |
| different types of TRINPsite documents continue to be |
| made. Files which are most likely to show the latest |
| document design at this moment are: |
| for nodal general files: Sound.htm; |
| for terminal general files: Note/MMo/Y52-55.HTM; |
| for nodal Model files: MNI.htm and MNI/BoS/4/1.htm; |
| for terminal Model files: MNI/E.HTM. |
| Eventually every nodal general file should look like |
| Sound.htm, every nodal terminal file like |
| Notes/Month.HTM, and so on. |
| |
| |
| In Northern Mid- and Late Lent |
| |
| 50: The poem To Ananda (in a shortened and revised form) and |
| 49: the Epilogue, both at the end of the Model of Neutral- |
| Inclusivity, have been turned into graphic files. |
| 48: "About Time" is an announcement for those who have |
| not heard of TRINPsite yet and may be interested in this |
| site, and for those who want to draw the attention of |
| others to it. It is also an announcement for anyone |
| suffering from active millenarianism. |
| The space available for TRINPsite files has been |
| enlarged from 10 to 15 Mb. Meanwhile the number of files |
| has risen to more than 330 files, of which about 270 |
| different or 'unique' ones. There are relatively many |
| picture files which are not unique now, but which can be |
| made unique at any moment in the future. In this way a |
| whole branch of TRINPsite files can be given its own |
| picture(s) and/or background(s) at one go. |
| A new use of JavaScript applets makes it possible |
| to show three pictures in succession: before, during and |
| after pointing to it with the mouse arrow. The use of |
| 'hotspots', also new for this site, makes it possible to |
| create several links to several parts of a picture |
| instead of one link to the whole picture. |
| In order to make the contents and structure of the |
| 47: site more transparent to the public a 'meta-file' has |
| been added with a complete list of current texts, |
| pictures and sound files. |
| |
| |
| In Northern Late Yule and Equinoctial Month |
| |
| The most important development in these two months is |
| the introduction of compressed *.wav files and *.mp3 |
| files which are less than one-tenth the original size. |
| (Unfortunately, while the compressed *.wav files work |
| with the Netscape player they do not yet work properly |
| with the player of Internet Explorer.) |
| There is now also a link to the complete list of |
| sound files from the nodal file for poetry in general, |
| as it contains mainly poems read aloud and sung. The |
| latest addition is the poem 'The Wheel Has Wrought', |
| 46: which is 10.3 MB big in its original CD format, and 1323 |
| kB in its derived *.wav and 935 kB in its *.mp3 format. |
| A start has been made with the publication on |
| 45: Internet of a Vocabulary of Alliteration, even tho no |
| more than the sound |K| can be accessed at the moment. |
| Work on the TRINP cube, a graphic undertaking, has |
| continued and yielded two documents with cubes of |
| 44: different sizes: one 312 pixels and one 616 pixels high. |
| |
| |
| In Northern Early and Mid-Yule |
| |
| As far as the contents of TRINPsite are concerned, there |
| are hardly any changes during this period. The work on |
| the conversion of files and the presentation of |
| documents continues, however. For the presentation of |
| files Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 is now |
| used in addition to Netscape and Lynx. |
| When checking out the 1531 links of the complete |
| Web site, 28 links turned out to be broken, so that they |
| could not be followed anymore, or so that the occasional |
| picture did not show up. These links have been restored |
| in the meanwhile. (TRINPsite has now 532 unique URLs and |
| a change in one part of the system may have effects in |
| another part which should be, but have evidently not |
| always been, foreseen or kept track of.) |
| Besides animated and transparent 'gif' pictures a |
| 43: moving, 'three-dimensional' TRINP cube is presently |
| being developed. This cube is a totally new element in |
| the graphic representation of TRINP values and TRINPsite |
| ideas. (If applet can't start in Netscape 3.02, then try |
| the absolute addresses below, or put the file |
| image3dcube.class in the directory |
| Netscape\Program\Java\Classes.) |
