The Power of "Like"

Earn credits by clicking the sites you want and embrace the like button. We feel the plethora if someone’s has liken us in our FB accounts. This is a genuine idea of a person who invented the FB. “A CLICK” with the like button could bring you in the apex of popularity. Not to mention the other viral elements of syndicating the likes to your friends of friends. That depend how you disclose your profile to the Market.

Imagine with a single button like “likes” you can eventually change the world to something else, bringing the people in the niche and comparing them who is the best and who is hot or not. This is not a cliche but a reality, like button in facebook went to a mainstream of a different social media experience.

After likes there will be a fiasco? well just imagine if there is DISLIKE.

Animation Basic:Decadence of Movement

Click to have a clear view


Key drawings is one of the ingredients that could provide a lucid movement of the objects. Creating a key drawing needs a balance of  mind to susbtantiate the  movements and dividing it to other action that will produce  the "in- between" frames. 

To start the activity, it is good enough to have 5 drawings and mark the core frames that would blend to the other drawings to complete the frames. Remember the more drawings you have the more in- betweens shall be made to adjust with the previous actions and daunt extra movements or giving a full blown movements like anticipation.

The style of drawing is one of the flavor that would attract the optics of the viewer, if you are doing a cartoony or an anime type then let your imagination run wild. Adjust your key drawing, create a pattern of it by using your character or a model. A true art is based on the artists imagination and if you don't possess that kind of thing then use the left side and the right side of your brain.

Movements plus timing could create a dashing animation, put numbers on the movement and mimic the real world, not to apply the realism of the action but to give a thin communication of exaggeration, from there you are doing your own world of animation.

Posting of articles will resume on April 24, this is to observe the Lenten Week.

The power of Basic

Basic refuses no power, and power refuses no basic. The evolution of computing started with the vintage programming- the Basic programming, I can still remember the vintage program of gWBasic and Basica, I used to code my program in  apple computer(the green screen) and in IBM PC computer.

The first thing that I learned was the medieval disk operating system to manipulate the boot up process and file handling management. We need to study the internal and external commands of DOS to to copy a file from another disk and to save a file. Before the basic program was hoarded in the memory of the computer, during the boot up process it will automatically proceed to the basic program.

The father of basic stuff  is Alan Cooper (correct me if I'm wrong). Basic created a ladderization of improvements from simple data crunching to class and object oriented programming.From a unique calling procedure to branch in a target line number using the GOSUB command.The GOSUB command leverage its function to a procedure and event programming in Visual Basic. Basic hoisted its name in the apex of computing.

The famous SCREEN,PSET,PRESET,GET,PRINT and LOCATE commands unleash the graphical prowess of basic to dictate the usefullness of gaming algorithm while  the PEEK and POKE play around with low level programming in storing the value to the memory address.


Here is the tiny vintage code in basic.

10 cls
20 rem-prg by. Dr.F
30 let x = 10
40 let y = 10
50 let total = y+x: for i = 1 to total: print chr$(i):next i
60 end

Did you notice that Basic is a  bit akin to Python?

Basic Cartooning

If you don't know how to draw, you can still hit the drawing board  using the traditional method-pen and paper or you can use the technology, like computer to draw the different objects.Let us attack the problem. Our mission is to create a basic Cartoon character. You can use the Paint Brush to draw, remember that drawings are compose of lines and shapes. Prepare your pencil and paper and start to draw the vertical line and slepping lines, fill up the paper, don't pressure your hands.

The purpose of creating lines is to warm up your fingers and wrist. Practice this technique everyday for 5 Minutes, compare your previous works to your current work. If you are comfortable of doing the lines then its about time you indulge your self to draw the elipse/circle. Fill up the paper with circles.

There is an adage "patience is a virtue" prior going to a combat mission you must equip your self with profuse training and carry a full metal jacket against your foes. Perfection of circle needs an aide of a computer program, for example, you can use the Photoshop or a basic graphic program of Paint Brush.

Useful tutorials

The net is the avenue of different information, it is a limitless and endless form of different transactions and labyrinth of communication, anybody can erect there own brick and mortal offices with out a huge capital to install a physical office or building. Here in the net, using the net fiber anyone has the freedom to explore their inclinations and extremes thoughts to cross the different cultures and make a bundles of friends across the globe.

I would like to fuse this blog, one of my student in IT, she is inclined to visual graphics and digital design, as a matter of face she earned units in basic animation and nocturnal computer operator that explore the world of computing.

The DMR Legacy

I saw in youtube.com that Dennis Ritchie and his colleague Ken Thompson is retiring? I haven’t heard about new things about C development (Richie and Thompson). Today the quick change of computing brought us a new world of computer science innovation, advocating the Linux and its allies-php, apache and mySQL, everybody knows about Linus the author of Linux, and it is huge dismay because few people know about Dennis Richie and Ken Thompson who started the modern era of computer programming and that is C language, the mother of all computer languages that stir the world of computing.

With C, low and high level were form together to be understood by everyone in the computing world. The original struc and enum was constituted and paradigm of I/O gives birth to process the external and internal devices to communicate with different data types.

DMR? – Dennis MacAlistair Richie

Bal-Penning: Speed drawings

This is part of my Bal-Penning research, I created this drawing using the Balpen, a direct drawing that evade a prior style of penciling.Just click the picture below to have clearer view.




Skin of Web Basic




Everybody is going gaga about the web technology, learning the web operations especially in creating a web site or a web applications need an array of knowledge in web computing. This may sound bad but the ultimate quest to web kingdom is to learn the web organization, it is akin to computer organization subject, learning hierarchiecal approach of computer operation.

What to learn? Read the web technology, the fundamentals of network connection, how does the HTTP and Browsers works and deliver the request using the HTML as a readable output for the viewers.Embrace the HTML and XHTML codes to deliver your piece of verses in your application. Sounds weird but, coding in XHTML or HTML is extremely easy, read books on HTML that illustrates the basic syntax and semantics of the code.

To have steady a design, study the basic of CSS(Cascading Sytle Sheet).Start with a simple CSS and begin to fuse it in your page. The purpose of this is to have steady templates with out a tedious coding of layout in every page. The modernization of web technology created a modern interfacing of different organizations the supports the web programming. Integrate the CSS in your code or create an external file with .CSS extension.For now you are bit baffle how to implement this instruction, but once you have started and push the pedal, there's no stopping of a web viral coding/

Ball-penning: Creating a new style of speed drawing


Comics illustration established the show on the canvass while animation is created with continues action to evade apathetic mode of the scene, animation is to blend the drawings to create action and established the strokes and position of the object, a bit congruent principle applied in illustration. In illustration, the action is established in the canvass with fine strokes, in animation there is a clean up process that would calculate the motion and anticipation of movements that will match the camera movement. I would rather watch an indie artist/illustrator to play around with his canvass using the speed drawing movements.This display the artist motor skills matching his/her right and left side of the brain to eke his ability to produce a compelling strokes.Look, speed drawings quench the thirst of the artist to deliver the beyond imagination of his being to communicate on the canvass, the more he thinks of a beautiful ideas the more it is hoarded to his brain and its like a spring of fountain that will burst out,time and space should not be the issue if he can spur the drawings in his canvass.

This jargon "Ball-penning" is a pilot to coined a new style of speed drawing, I will consider the seconder principle of Shamus COlhane, indeed the speed drawing principle could be an sharp tool to reach the end point of animation and illustration. One of the key is the inclination and focus to the craft. I am starting this as a formula to create an online gaming and perhaps a campaign for speed drawing using the "Ball-penning" approach.

A short information about "Ball-penning"

1. Using a Ball-pen or Ink only,(color pencil coloring only)
2. Speed lines application
3. No Penciling, a direct attack of ink to the canvass
4. Defying time and space to deliver a quick output.
5. Applicable to Graphic Novel, comic book, comic and ANIMATION

So far, these are the bullet ideas that I can formulate.

Basic Story Boards:Basic Comics Paneling

This is one of my rough storyboard using the Panda Ballpen,click the picture to have a clearer view



Creating a story board is an option to create a scene in animation, you can use bundles of software(yes you can use Graphics editor to draw a story board)to design a story board. A story board depicts the layouts and the scene of the animation and film making. A good start to create a story board is using the bond paper, the short size will do to start a rough layouts for you project.

How to create a storyboard? defining the short flic title is very important, and the story it self should ride at the end part of the script. Create an equal size of box in your paper or bond paper and start to work/draw your story. A caption can guide you to draw the scene, you can also put the call outs for the dialogues.

What is it there in storyboards? most of the advertising companies and movie outfit use the story board to map out the target output, the complexity is the required design for the product that will hit to the market. Some of the artists and illustrators earned a living by doing story boards for multimedia company and advertising houses.

Computer Organization:Managing the Primary Storage for Programming


Declaring variables can eat lots of memory? yes, it can eat a lot, but look, the technology today defaced already the vintage computer from the past, before it wast PC 8086 and PC 8088 this is the XT and AT technology that operates in a small range of capacity, running in 8 bits to run the .com and .exe files. What we have today is the arsenal of memories that propel speeds and signals to accept different types of data. The principle of computing before programming is to learn the different tasks of the computer, I think this is a universal protocol, number 1 the computer INPUT the data, 2.ACCEPTS the Data, 3. PROCESS the data 4. OUPUT the data and 5. CONTROL the data. From these basic functions you can easily determine the functional side of the main storage, this is the CPU (Central Processing Units). Functional unit of CPU are the Arithmetic Logic Unit, the one that calculates the data, converting them in the digital switches to form 0 and 1, this is the binary, the Control Unit or CU take charge the evaluation (I use this term to be more measurable)and passes the data to the CPU.

Now, how about the Primary storage? we have the volatile and none volatile memory, there are programs that after the computer operations are gone when you ceased the computer, and there are programs that stays whenever you turn it on and turn it off.In yesteryears, the power of TSR(Terminate Stay Residents) programs are the powerful applications that dominates the DOS and Windows Utility, this programs are powered by a special registers and Interrupts using the INT 27H of assembly languages.

Storing the ABSTRACT groups to the memory takes a value and covered the speed of the processor, but, this is not any more a huge dilemma, computing is a progressive linear programming, meaning memory management will guide the programmer to take a route in the best alternative to build an application. Creating a variables in software engineering aspects might consider sluggish effect but as the course of technology is improving the Cache Memory and I/O design of the Busses will leverage also the round up principles of Computer programming.

Let us not forget that there are robust applications that still uses the medieval approach of file handling operations, for instance there are still company that the tail of their systems are spawned in COBOL,this program declare lots of value to mirror the speed of reporting and queries of the data, there are programs that runs in an interpreted compiler and hybrid compilers. As the programming method is evolving, the processor manufacturer also developed their processor(CPU) to match the requirements of the program.

The techniques in memory management is to know the pattern of coding, The Very basic question is how do you declare a Variable? that's a 3 steps cycle, knowing your data and the Abstract data types.If that is the problem then variables should be evaded and ternary operation/functions should take charge everything to avoid the hierarchiecal programming,this can cause a cascade of drawbacks.

The structural programming needs the alliance of a variable to create references, point a value to the variable, point to the address of the variable, store a value to a variable and lots of memory crunching handling.This act of programming is very simple and basic, it is imperative to declare a variable to serve as reference to the value and telling the computer to reserve a blocks of memory.There are programming language like C and Java that whenever you declare a data type, automatically the location/memory reserve a value on it. Like for example the INT, integer.


STRUCT recno {

char name[30];
char address[40];
} myrec;

FILE *filepoint;

main(){

if(fopen==("c:\xx\redata.txt","w"))!=NUL) {
strcopy(myrec.name = "KDJFSKDJFKS");
strcopy(myrec.address = "sdfjskdfjskfjsk);

fprint/fwrite(filepoint,sizeof(recno));

}else{

printf(" File not found \n");

...
...




The Object Programming is to understand the Classes, what is a class? it is the blue print of the program. Variables declaration might take up chunk of memory but this is not a dilemma, the technology was invented to match the pattern of applications.The vistas of notion to manage the memory might change to other technical paradigm as the technology push to its high level of application.Whether it is binary,web,event programming etc. the pattern of memory management may vary in some instances of its usage but with this kind of technology that we have right now, woes and burn outs on eating space of extra memory is not a problem any more.

Defying IT Trepidation: Maximizing the IT Resources


We are always bombarded with the latest trends in computing, gamut from mobile applications to augmented reality. The IT Trends is extremely moving fast like a bullet train with out rushing to fuel station to exonerate, but it is keep on moving and fusing an avalanche of newest trends. The Internet is one of the biggest virtual place in the whole world where minds of different colors and skins converge to create a waterfalls of innovation. If you bought a PC or Laptop two years ago with a container of 50gig then its not a substantial storage anymore to store your data.Today the cloud applications and transmission of Representational State Transfer with API's are starting to capture a wider applications.

The primary storage of today's computer is leveraging to another door of detail development to capture the market.Before it was the hype of using the Friendsters account, now, it is the FB that dominating the social network sites, millions of people around the globe are indulge in this ardent applications.

Which would you prefer? DIGG over FB? a Twitter over StumbleUpon? these are the curtain raiser questions for the Social Media hype users. If you have an old account in Friendster then you can still use it, there are still FS users that are active and doing a usual viral network campaign in the net. But big players like FB , Twitter, Myspace, Ning and DIGG are superiors in web marketing, The continous increase of social network users everyday is already a close call to a potential markets from these social network sites.

Banking of knowledge in today's trends is not that difficult, you can automatically open your mobile gadgets and check the latest trends in the field, stick with the most common applications that act as an organic in your everyday usage. Like for example the latest trends in computing education, there are lots of topics about it, one of this is the behemoth information about web programming, like Python, Ruby,C#, VB etc. As information technology upgrade, you must increase also your knowledge to catch of today's pattern way of IT Learning.

Don't fear of the new gadgets, it's just a gadget, be prudence in choosing your gadgets or computer for your own application, be sure that, what ever did you choose, like social applications builders,then it could develop your moral obligations as an individual not a hoax or hoodwinked in the net.Trying new gadgets and latest technology innovations are the positive influenced of cultures that sorround us. Don't settle for less, but try to seek more advancement, with this notion we can build a better PH.

Basic Drawing:Freehand draw with liberty



I draw this thing using the Panda Ballpen, nothing comes at the back of my head,I just push the tip of my pen at the surface of the paper and start to create an aplique lines and produce this drawing. The Illustration is bit a metal caricature that expose the different skins of the people in the society. The person setting on the chair is doing the baffling box of puzzle to communicate with the different "substance" that inked in his head.If you notice, this is a direct drawing with out pencilling, an example of a continues exploration of speed drawings using the speed lines.

Cube Basic Guide to Drawing II



Our motor skills involved the stick figures of our body, from lower extremities to bottom extremities.There is no reason that we can't draw different objects. Drawings that displayed a good contour and ink style strokes with out a pragmatic looks could kill the illustration and other elements of the Object. Artists are free and they have liberty to explore the different medium in drawings. The questions are the following to achieve a basic drawing gamut to good drawing. 1.Did you apply the solid drawing? 2.Does it have proportions/Balance? 3.Did you apply the x factor to basket it with a good appeal?..there are lots of questions about drawings.

As far as cube method is concern, it is ubiquitous that the high end technology could spur the use of 3d dimensional drawing with out scratching 100 pieces of papers and put it into the dustbins, because computers can help the artist to draw different objects to create a perfect cubes and other objects. Cubes are use to start building different 3d objects, it can be found in the MESH (jargon of 3d application softwares).

To achieve the perspective of drawing, again, you need to nail your drawings in your paper/canvass and start to create a freehand draw on cubes and lines.Diddle your time with it and perfect it, as the saying goes...patience is a virtue, to achieve it, you need to practice it and apply it.

Drawing is applicable to the increasing demand of Multimedia Technology and one of it is E-learning Media.Next is Digital Multimedia and Basic of Animations.

Cube Basic Guide to Drawing












The proportion of drawings comes from the basic transistion of basic mathematics calculation, but it doesn't mean that you will brace your self in pounding numbers, but of course it is extremely crucial to learn mathematics. In this case, we will use the descriptive ideas to illustrate the importance of cube. I am sure you understand the cube, an object like a box and space inside. This is use to guide the artists and even the novice users to attack the proportion of drawing. For example creating a building, house,landscape and even the human anatomy. Yes, this is part of the so called technical drawing, thru technical drawing anybody can measure the depth and space of the object.

How to start with the cube? draw a box and create a simple version of a 2d drawing, don't push your drawing to hard to reach the end of perfection, just draw it with enjoyment and once your hands got the rythm then create more cubes. Never mind the unlined points just draw until you perfect it, anyway you are not dealing on numbers, but to the angle of proportions.

The cube can highten your illustrations, like for example if you are creating a background and different objects.Drawing in perspective requires a great proportion and understanding the lines and its direction to connect on the optic perception of the viewer.

Skills can be acquired later if you practice your ability(Plato's principle was, to learn more is to practice and gain experience every day), erasures are normal, but once again I would like to reiterate this, don't pressure your self, focus and keep on practicing, there are basic books on drawing, but thru reading and peeling information on the web can increase your knowledge.

Bukalph.com

I am creating the original content of this blog to a new domain, the name is Bukalph.com. The word "bukal" means spring and fountain of knowledge, for now I have the felicity to experiment this name.Different topics in computing, various discipline of studies and other information that would create a waves of interaction will be posted in this new domain. This blog under the social service of blogger.com will serve as a mirror to create a VIRAL campaign to the netcitizens. I will post the "cubes", part of drawing principle this week.
