23 2014 why i don t relay why i don t relay i and the american cancer society fundraising arm do not see eye to eye in short they stole software i wrote to manage the fundraising for the relay for life of second life with which they have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and continue to and did so telling me that i was being dismissed for being too poor claiming ownership over my work since i was a volunteer for them at the time the funny thing about work for hire is that you actually have to give what is called consideration not necessarily a wage for the work to own it i did not receive so much as a t shirt or keychain don t get me wrong the acs does a lot of good work but their methods of funding that work leave much to desire posted by zenmondo wormser at 12 57 am 6 comments sunday january 2 2011 networked communication of second life objects using lsl php and mysql in 2009 i was tasked with the creation of a new donation system for american cancer society s relay for life of second life the 2010 system was very robust and fast with new features one being the real time updates of team totals to accomplish this i created a hub and spoke network communicating to the kiosks from a centralized database using the lsl http server method i believe my method to be very fast stable and scalable i have detailed how i accomplished it in the below paper networked communication of second life objects using lsl php and mysql posted by zenmondo wormser at 12 20 am 10 comments labels codepoetry lsl mysql php second life wednesday march 24 2010 ada lovelace day in honor of ada lovelace day i post an essay i wrote for an ada exhibit that took place in caledon in july of 2008 ada lovelace queen of engines queen of my heart poetical science and the art of codepoetry it is a sad tale to be separated from your soul mate by 120 years but that is the way i feel about lady ada and me the roads we have traveled has lead us to many of the same places though divided by the centuries she has set the path before me and i have walked it you can say lady ada drew the plans but i have been able to build it she was the daughter of lord byron the poet her mother fearing that ada may become a poet schooled her in science and mathematics even so she still inherited the soul of a poet asking her mother if you can t give me poetry can t you give me poetical science in the same way i approach writing computer programs an artistic pursuit which i call codepoetry during ada s lifetime charles babbage designed a machine called the analytical engine this machine if built would have been the worlds first general purpose computer capable of performing any computational task like the computer that sits on your desk today the leading experts of her time saw the analytical engine as a means of calculating numbers flawlessly taking the tedium and error out of number crunching ada on the other had saw the potential of analytical engine writing the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent but ada was not a flighty poet by any means she had the training and knowledge of an accomplished mathematician and a grasp of computing beyond that of many of her peers in a translation of a paper on the analytical engine by luigi menabrea she appended notes that were longer than the original paper itself and in one of these notes included a method for calculating bernoulli numbers on the analytical engine it is this program that is considered today to be the world s first computer program i carry on this tradition every time i write a new computer program that for a moment in time is the world s latest computer program and the spirit of ada guides me in my pursuit creating codepoetry is not simply programming it is programming in a certain mindset focusing on elegance efficiency and ingenuity it is programming as an artistic pursuit not as a technical science though the writing of codepoetry is an artistic pursuit it is by no means extravagant or sloppy it is based on certain rules as all programs are so the foundation must be extreme technical skill once mastering the rules one can learn to bend them but never to the point of breaking for if you break a rule your program won t compile i see writing codepoetry as akin to playing improvisational jazz or the architecture of someone like frank lloyd wright with a strong foundation of technical skill going in an unexpected direction and arriving at beauty it was ada that first envisioned arriving at beauty with a computer i like to think my centuries separated soul mate smiles on me and i make her proud realizing her dream she had so long ago today zenmondo wormser july 19 02008 caledon steam sky city posted by zenmondo wormser at 1 50 am 10 comments labels ada codepoetry wednesday september 9 2009 i am number 6 i really don t want to toot my own horn about this so i will let our guvnah do it for me zenmondo where does one begin with zenmondo zen is the sort of fellow that one finds in movies an unorthodox hero that might make the casual observer wonder this jovial offbeat wayward fellow a knight but just like the movies the story reveals the truth our zen has done countless quiet things for camaraderie and community usually with his scripting talents all too often with comic relief and ultimately with his heart rfl s kiosks in 2009 wouldn t have worked at all were it not for zen long hours of tireless thankless effort on an unstoppable schedule all of it selfless unrecognised effort for people in need and a cause greater than himself he is a true knight of caledon desmond shang posted by zenmondo wormser at 5 02 am 12 comments labels caledon knight of caledon monday august 3 2009 a very busy codepoet zen goes to a long forgotten desk draw and pulls out a bound leather journal lifting it to his face he blows upon it sending a cloud of dust flying off of the tome and into the ear he places it on the desk takes out a quill and begins to write it has been a long time since i have kept this journal that is not to say there has been nothing to write about just that i have been so busy so as not to have time to write i have expanded my horizons beyond caledon and have become a jedi knight in the new order of the jedi based on ruusan but i will not be writing of those adventures here as it would be quite jarring to the established narrative one thing that has been taking up much of this codepoet s second life is being the tech chair for the american cancer society s relay for life of second life it was january january that i recieved a most interesting note entitled a hero s quest it read as follows looking for potential knight seeking to do good and worthy deeds whereas the prior relay for life kiosk scripter has resigned and whereas the prior kiosk scripts shall be made available and whereas the hulking beast of bureaucracy may rear its head the vicereine of caledon her lyonesse kamilah i and the guvnah of caledon the right honourable desmond shang seeks a hero to wield the mighty sword of healing 5 and to fill the gap in scripting knowledge and other arcane arts for the benefit of the relay interested hero prospects shall contact the chair of the relay for life of second life fayandria foley i took up this quest and i pray i did well for it there were some technical hiccups beyond my control but i have taken steps that they will not be repeated for the relay of 2010 i am already committed to creating a new kiosk and vendor system for 2010 this time hosted on servers provided by the american cancer society this should alleviate what were our biggest technical hurdles for 2009 the 2009 relay season is over and it was amazing record breaking fund raising and full of meaningful ceremony i look forward to the part i have to play in 2010 the thing that makes me sad is that i did not have a lot of involvement with team caledon this year as working for all of relay kept me very busy i will try to balance this better next year posted by zenmondo wormser at 5 40 am 1 comment labels busy busy busy caledon rfl wednesday february 11 2009 caledon
