How smart a book character can be.

I was watching the other day a movie. It’s not important what movie it was, what is important is the movie pictured a smart and cool character. Well… the problem was that I did not consider him to be quite so smart. There were certain situations where I thought he could have behaved better. :D Now I’m just bragging.

OK. But now let’s be serious about it. How smart a book character can be. Well, I guess, not smarter then the author who portray him. But a good book is not required to have a smart character. There are books written to be funny, to inspect the human mind or soul or whatever. But there are books in which the action revolves around a character, a strong character, a smart character. He defines the book.

I’m a S.F. fan and one of the characters that have impressed me is was Hari Sheldon from the Foundation series written by the Isaac Asimov. But hey, he was a university professor with a PhD in chemistry and with over 500 volumes written. So, I may say, quite a smart man. No wander his characters are very well written. And the list can continue.

Master of science in Web Services development - final examination

I’m about to finish the master courses in taking right now and I’ve just choose the subject for my final examination paper: Web services for a modern educational system. It sounds quite big and basically I have only a vague idea about what am I suppose to do. Wish me luck.

AJAX image gallery">AJAX image gallery

I wanted to place on my site some pictures that I took at SIAB 2005. I thought at first to search for a free image gallery made in php but after that initial moment I have decided to create one myself.

So, today, to be “on the stre@m”, I’ve made an AJAX image gallery. It’s a simple and rough one but it has the nice feature of not refreshing the page content. The RPCs are made to a php page that reads the necessary informations from a database and delivers them back to the JavaScript.

And that is all for now. In time I will improve this utility on my site.
