Native Client version 1.0

Native Client has released it's first version. It's not ready for Qt OpenGLES though, that's the system I use to present the Virtual Urantia walktrhoughs. There's no way yet to multithread OpenGL in Native Client. That's a method by which two things can be done at the same time. I'll have to wait till the next version or the one after that. 3 or more months maybe??????? They say it's coming.

I've waited years, what's a little bit longer.

David Kantor is using GPS to do a place by place movement of Jesus through his travels. That uses Google Earth and Google Earth uses 3d to present the planet. Should be interesting.

An update

Wow! It's been a while since my latest update. Hopefully in the next couple of months Native Client will release the ability to do 3d on the Internet using my computer language (c++), so I can release the Virtual Urantia beginnings.

I'm still here writing c++ code in this tiny little room watching the ants searching for the smell of my half eaten muffin. I feel like a gnome that no one has visited for 20 years. Or like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz clicking shoes together saying 'I will release, I will release. I swear it'

I think I must be the most persistent person I've ever known.

A lot of noise about Native Client lately. I've waited a long time for this to be real. A developer like me can wait for years for technology like this to come around. It's a very strange feeling to create a program that only a few people have seen and several people who were showing an interest have gone on to Mansonia.

I've typed in 11 million characters of code. It's been so satisfying to create something that will help shape the world. That's my hope anyway. My previous projects helped shape the world of computing before the Internet was born.

When I started this project, before using it for the 'Virtual Urantia' project, there was no Internet. No one I knew had heard of a cell phone. Your phone was still wired to the wall and no one had heard of Facebook. 1 gigabyte drive was huge.

Can you imagine the next decade?

Anyway, I'm still coding, excitedly anxious of the coming changes that will catapult us into this new age of freedom. Long live automation, long live the Urantia Book.

Native Client 3d getting closer

It's getting closer now. Native Client and QT are getting closer to working with all the trimmings. I've been working on the automation side exclusively. This project won't get off the ground without money and I expect 3d automation to make significant amounts. It's one of the ways the community will be convinced of the power of 3d in the future of this planet's knowledge.

The brain thinks in 3d not just with text. Immediate direct results occur when the brain sees animated environments. We don't have all the techniques that will be used to impart human knowledge, even revelation. We have not, as yet, come to grips with this fantastic new power.

Hollywood and the gaming companies are though, just beginning. What they are doing with 3d, though, is paltry in comparison to what the marriage of machine and artificial intelligence are about to bring to our world. This age of animated knowledge will lead us into a newborn freedom from toil and war,disease and ignorance. When it has come to a completion, all humanity will speak the same language: Peace on Earth and goodwill to humankind.

This is not far away.You who look to a dismal future should contrast the past and use that same contrast to envision this amazing and adventurous new age. It is an age of wonder and thrills.

If you are a fundamentalist in your religion or use science to close the vistas of eternity, take note that particles don't give birth to being. If you believe that thing is primary to being or that there is no such thing as a free will being then l cannot help you to see the beauty of the nature of eternity. Only time and experience with little children can help you. Parent a child with a lot of practical love and then you have a chance at understanding the love of the father of life.

Love is more than just a way of life. Love is the very fabric by which all beings reflect and co-create life.

The waiting game

Nothing much has changed in the last 3 months. Just waiting for Google's Native Client to release 3d capability. They've added file input and output and have stabilized the program but not enough for me to release anything. So that's it. Wait some more. Working on my automation engine.

Desktop vs Internet using Native Client and QT

Desktop software, that's where all the power used to be. As far as capability, no Internet program can hope to match what has and probably will be created for some time on desktop software platforms. That, though, is changing.

For my 3d artificial brain to be viewed and edited, you need 3d. No way around that one. That means it had to run on the desktop because the Internet did not have the capability to run 3d software. Look at the games of  Facebook, they are basically 2d games. They can't compare to the huge games of the desktop or console, which is really a desktop with a different face. 3d took games from simple views to elaborate environments where effects splash across the screen in dazzling arrays. When the Internet begins running 3d, the entire face of the Internet will change.

I've worked since around 1980-81 creating platforms for the desktop, automating many businesses, eventually getting into 3d around 1990. Not until 1996, would I say I was getting my 3d chops working well. The math is incredible.

My automation system is second to none. I've looked at all the systems out there and I can say without a doubt, no one comes close to what I've created. Hands down. But all the power I've created has very little market value without huge outlays of cash compete on the automation market. They are really locked into standards that are old and outdated but are really dependable. I don't blame them.

This may be a little out of focus for Urantia but not really. I cannot hope to create anything substantial with the Urantia book without the monies needed to accomplish the dreams I have for it. Will I succeed, who knows? I push the lever of the machine with all my strength. Will it move and start the machine? On this planet, nothing is assured.

Native Client is very important here. Without it, I would have to rewrite 15 years of work. Using the current Internet tools, anything I create,  in my current estimate, is still inferior to what I've done already using desktop tools. Using Native Client, I can place the Virtual Urantia system on the Net and give others the capability to add their piece of the puzzle right from their browser. And do it with my current QT system. A visualized 3d wiki of the book, so to speak. It also gives me the capability to view and control the home, business, power plant, factory floor and even the internals of  the human body in living, real-time 3d using simple sensors that view blood pressure as color and size changes to the veins and arteries of the body or if a window is open. It can alarm on your cell phone when you're on a beach in the Bahamas when someone rings your door bell and you can open the door from that same cell phone. And use a 3d viewing environment for the control. Click on the door and open it. Same for Jerusem, click on it and the book opens with all the entries for Jerusem at your disposal.

You can view the architectural spheres of Jerusem and travel through the circles. The thing is, I have the system that can do just that and it can do it now. It's not pie in the sky, it's real. You can download it at www.virtualurantia.com and try it yourself. The brain's working of the system is hidden, though, as I want the language of the brain to remain hidden until I have a fully working system on the Internet.

Anyway, a couple of months ago, Native Client needed three things to have my system running in a browser. File I/O, Peer to Peer (P2P) and 3d.  File I/O is done, that is, with Internet restrictions (needed for security). P2P is not working very well yet but I've found my way of using it. And last but not the least, 3d. That is not ready and I hope it will be by the end of the year so that I can begin the transition on to the Net. I have already created the databased, sign in and password creation system.

It's getting closer.

The New World of the Internet. (15 years removed)

Did I miss the boat or what? I've spent 15 years on desktop programming while the net came alive. What was I thinking? Yes, the internet was weak in processing power. Yes, it couldn't do much 3d. Yes, it couldn't do much form processing at high speeds from database and yes it's UI was pitiful in the beginnings. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I continued to enhance my capabilities on the desktop, the Internet was becoming powerful and I had no idea. First, it was a way to communicate from the very beginning but now, it's becoming the new desktop and I should have been ready to understand the new languages of the Internet, especially since they we're basically close to the C++ language.

Well, a big Duh for me.

No more. I'm becoming proficient at PHP and at whatever else I need to interface to my program. On the automation side, which will be used for Urantia stuff too, I have my password database and input system written in the language of the Internet, using my favorite desktop database: Postgres.

Wow. Things have changed. I can store encrypted forms of the password and not even know what the password is and not worry about anyone getting the database as they can only see the encrypted forms of their password. It's absolutely genius. These guys know what they are doing. I can use these to help people communicate with each other.

The Internet still doesn't belong to the user. It belongs to the people who have servers. Do you have a server on the net? Probably not. Being hosted doesn't count for direct communication with your friend's computers. With the birth of IPV6, everyone will be able to communicate with each other over the Internet without using some intermediary. It's almost here and it is a step in the evolutionary process of the planet. I will not miss this one, no way!!!!!!!!!!!! It means you can talk directly to your friends, that is, voice and video calling and so much more. Cameras at your house and a million other ways of doing things. My favorite, of course, since it is what I've done most of my life: Automation and viewing of real-time events like a window opening. Imagine sitting on the beach in Borneo and your cell phone alarms you that someone you know is ringing your front door bell and when you look, you can talk to them and unlock the front door so that they can go in and feed the dog.

Anyway. At 60, I'm still learning. Can't wait for Native Client though, it will bring the power of the work I've done for 3 decades to the Internet.

Learning The internet and Native Client

Well things are churning around here. First, it looks like 3d is working but unsupported as yet by Native Client. OK with me, I get to test and prepare for it. I'm taking a couple of weeks off from work in September to get Native Client working.  Looks really good.

Also, since I've been remiss in learning the Internet languages, I've jumped on the Javascript and PHP bandwagon. They're pretty much like writing in C++ with twists here and there but it's a lot of fun getting something up that other people can look at. Wished I had done this 1995, life would be different. Oh Well. Also, I am really surprised at how much I can really do now. I've set up a database for names in less that 4 hours. And that's without knowing how to do it with PHP. It's actually a lot of fun.

So ever anon, persistence pays off. I've waiting 4 years to get the Virtual Urantia Book up and running, I can wait another. It's worth it in the end. Also, everything I do for this project works for my automation project.
