Minimalist MuKitty's Timey Tutorial for Better Blogging on Blogger with Biscuity Inspiration

Welcome to the interwebs and another tutorial of goodly timeyness. First: Everything posted here is from another source and many have worked very hard for you to have this knowledge. All applicable Open Source licenses and credits go to each and every lady and man who did all of this before me. Thanks very much. Muchas Gracias. Muito Obrigado.

This is being composed on a Nexus 7 tablet with neither a keyboard nor a mouse. The device is not rooted. There is no installed software for creating web pages. If I am not able to produce an example, then I will attempt, try, and hope to give you a reference.

I've explained beyond explainable explanations the explainatory explaining. So, let's start.

What idea, statement, or proposal do you have to present before others? Are you informing, presenting, describing, or just making a statements? Is this a business venture, a posting of personal opinion, a tutorial, or informative data? Whatevet it is, be sure to take your time and effort.

For you, be sure to have a laptop, a desktop, or a tablet with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I suggest having a Linux distribution such as Debian, Fedora, or others installed on your device; or, it is also a good idea to have one of the BSDs - FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Dragonfly BSD - as the base environmental system on your devicep

From either the package manager or ports - depending on your OS installation - the following software: OpenOffice, Gimp, Inkscape, and Bluefish.

Bluefish is the HTML editor for setting up your page. OpenOffice is the word processor for documents within the p tag of html. Inkscape allows advanced users to embed SVG file types and descriptions. Gimp is for creating banners, images, and simple - GIF and MING - animations.

Here is where and when you will need to have self initiative. Do a Boolean or "Google" search in the search engine of your choice for the following:" w3schools html" .

Yes, this is a tutorial rewrite. I didn't get it right the first time. I'm sure that I will write another. Blah, blah,blah.

Yay! Now, back to work.

You will need to do some practicing before making your final publishing of what you want to state on your blog. Look at each of the examples in the w3schools various tutorials. Think of what, how, and why you want the information to be presented before your audience.

Create and test each page in blogger before publishing.

Remember the following so that you are able to turn blogger into your own personal website. Let every page have its own blog so that you are able to correct and make new href links. Set up a meta-page from which all other pages will be connected. In each page blog, add the proper tags.

Now for the fun part. After you have published each page in blogger, copy the url. Open the search engine of your choice and paste the url. This will add each page to the SQL and other database types of each search engine. You may do this a second time for each page with a few words from each respective blog.

Now, you've got some mad skills. Happy blogging and enjoy the interwebs.

Tchau tchau

Surrealistic Programming

I'm going to tell you about my working environment and mindset so that your imagination is able to perceive from another viewpoint. You need to be objective and resourceful in order to do positive programming. I have experience with the following for programming. Operating Systems: 1. Linux a) Debian - aarch64 virtual, X86 direct and virtual, AMD64 direct and virtual, PowerPC32 direct. b.) Android --aarch64 direct through dalvikvm and termux as the current programming platform. 2. FreeBSD X86 direct, PowerPC32 direct, UltraSPARC/SPARC64. A quick side note: Some people may need a point of reference. Now, this is my physical environment. Transient/ homeless with a Lenovo Moto G5 Plus. This means you - vocĂȘ, usted, vos, vosotros - will be doing this with a limited set of resources. You are allowed to work in a group. Got to keep it real, peoples. You can't be perpping a fraud. So, each of you grab your machines. One will need an AMD64 laptop. It doesn't have to be the latest. You're going to be running Debian and FreeBSD on it. You will also need a PowerPC32 machine. You may choose the 64 bit POWER/ PPC,64 machines. You are going to need a SunBlade or similar starting with the 1000 model. And, you are going to need an Android aarch64 device. The SunBlade will need the Sun keyboard because the system will constantly repeat a key from a standard keyboard unless you tap immediately after you press a key. You may choose to do this with other Operating Systems if you want. Time to do some searching. Grab these images from the respected places. Remember that I am writing this on a phone. I will give you the Boolean values. For debian: debian download AMD64 PowerPC ppc For FreeBSD: FreeBSD ppc AMD64 SPARC You should be able to download the images from the respective websites. FreeBSD will use the GPT partitioning layout. Debian will use a standard layout. Install FreeBSD to all of the machines first with room for Debian on the AMD64 and PPC machines. Use the entire hard drive for the UltraSPARC/ SPARC64 installation. Having a positively progressive attitude is the key to this tutorial. We're going to work together on this; and, we're going to share or experience and knowledge with others. After setting up the base system, be sure to choose your desktop. Debian: The hard way is more fun. No graphical environment at first. Build it from deb packages. Be sure to know the graphics card type whether on board or PCI et al. This will keep you from having unnecessary drivers on your system. Xorg - configure. Simple desktop so that the CPU, GPU, disc, and RAM are readily available. For the minimalist: blackbox or fluxbox. Standard desktop: LXDE. Creative: Enlightenment. Now, install synaptic package manager with apt-get or dpkg. Boolean search for unstable and other repositories. Sip some tea or smoke a spliff while you wait. Or bake a cake. Got it? Not the cake, the repository information. Goodly. Look in the sections and install the latest programming tools. That easy. Sip some tea. Alright, FreeBSD will take more dedication. Do not use packages. Each environmental system for programming is different depending on the CPU. Base system first. You will need to use the following resources: Boolean search time. FreeBSD forums FreeBSD manual. As with Debian, set up Xorg. You are going to need the forums and mailing lists for aid and assistance. Remember the standards for Debian and use that as a reference point. FreeBSD manual reference to using ports. Boolean search: FreeBSD porter's handbook. In the Makefile section you may need to change certain parameters. Adjust for CPU architecture if necessary. Editing on a smartphone with a soft keyboard is difficult. Okay, back to the programming set up. Install python with the latest version. Adjust python variables to use that which is more applicable. Questions will be stated about Heimdall. Do your research. It's hot outside. We will return to this later.

Starting the FreeBSD Google developer's environment

Damn. That was a lot of words. Haha!

Anyway, Let's get started.

You need to have the minimum environment similar to mine. That means:
Dual core, amd64, 1.6GHz. 1G RAM, 120GB hard drive on a laptop.
- The laptop was given to me when I was helping a friend. His broke and I replaced it with an older one. That will be another post-

Install the FreeBSD base system to your laptop. You can use a desktop if you want, the minimum requirements are the same.

Install lynx from /usr/ports/www/lynx . It will pull in a lot of base dependencies and gives you a decent text based web browser.

Earlier on, I had mentioned having others help you. If there is a Linux or BSD group near you, ask them to help with a base install along with a few ports.
 http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/User_Groups/North_America/United_States/

Install and setup Xorg.


If you are going for the bells, whistles, and what not, then you will need a lot more processing power.

So, what desktop environments are good for developing?
Blackbox http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/
Openbox http://openbox.org/
Xfce http://www.xfce.org/
lxde http://lxde.org/

The basic idea is to have the base system use the least amount of resources.





Installing FreeBSD when you have limited resources.

One does not need a brand new system to start on FreeBSD, just a decent system to learn. If you have a specific idea, machine, or configuration in mind, then you will need to have more patience and search more.
Where to find the equipment:
1. Goodwill. There is also an online Goodwill store at http://www.shopgoodwill.com/listings/listByCat.asp?catID=30&ending=Items
That is the computer section.
2. Craigslist. Look in your wallet/bank account first to see what you can spend. If the machine boots up, you can use it.
a. If you need to know about the performance, burn a live CD/DVD or make a live usbboot.img. Not able to do such? Ask a friend to help you.
3. Ebay.
4. The trash. That's right. The trash. People will throw away perfectly good machines because of wanting something better or a simple software problem.

The minimum requirements:
Minimalist system:
400MHz CPU i386
256M RAM
5G Hard Drive
If there is not an internal wireless card or if the card is not supported, then a PCI wireless or usb dongle.
A working CDROM/CDRW drive.
The ability to boot from the CD drive.


Internet browsing with Firefox:
800MHz CPU i386
512M RAM
8G Hard Drive
If there is not an internal wireless card or if the card is not supported, then a PCI wireless or usb dongle.
A working CDROM/CDRW drive.
The ability to boot from the CD drive.


Internet browsing with Chrome:
amd64 CPU 1GHz
1024G RAM
8G Hard Drive
If there is not an internal wireless card or if the card is not supported, then a PCI wireless or usb dongle.
A working CDROM/CDRW drive.
The ability to boot from the CD drive.


For any office software, add 2G of disk space.
If you are going to build from ports, add 4G disk space.
For FreeBSD source building, add another 6G of disk space.
Audio compression and studio requires at least 1.2GHz on the processor if you are using a basic box GUI. 2.0GHZ and higher and multicore along with +1GHz RAM is a good base for audio production.


Video requires more. If you don't mind carrying around extra equipment, then a usb graphics card and a small lcd screen can be used.


Where to go to start the installation process:

Look for a public wireless spot and ask if there is a web interface or just directly connected. Some libraries and colleges will let you use a wired connection for a few moments. Don't abuse the privilege.

Ask a friend. Again, don't abuse the privilege.Some people are willing to aide and assist you during hard times.

Ask family.

If you don't have those resources:
Be patient and start looking for a solution. Nothing is instant.



When you find personal information on the machine:
Erase it and do multiple base installs. This may sound ridiculous but it creates a few layers that protects the privacy of the owner before you.
"What if it is illegal or other?" Illegal items= you know what to do.
Personal items= contact the previous owner and ask them if they want their stuff back before you erase it.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html

That is how you install the system.
