From Gaza with Love

Dear __Representative, Senator, Vice President, President___

Some of my friends are trapped in Gaza by Israeli blockade, which is a violation of the 4th Geneva
Convention (relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War).  (*) full text linked below

As Israel is occupying and slowly crushing the Palestinian region, we must not sit idly by.  Please
tell Israel to stop killing my friends.

CNN.com - Israel stops fuel shipments; Gaza City goes dark

in 2 hours all Gaza strip will sink into darkness completely

      sunday 20th of january 2008

      in a hurry iam writing to let you know that in less than 2 hours the last turbine of the Gaza
      power plant , will stop working , the power plant fuel , is to finish in 2 hours , i hurried
      to recharge my laptop , mobile and to wash the cloths , i checked my candles and rechargable
      lights !!!!!!i telephoned the hospital , was realy paniced to learn that we have fuel for the
      electrical generator, enough only for 4 days !!!!!what more shall i give of details , no
      electricity lead to no pumped fresh water , no proper swege system and more diseases and more
      rationalising of diffrent surgical operations , and later on no emergency operations can be
      conducted in our hospitals ,
      
      israel has sealed the Gaza strip completely and strictly on friday , even the UN food supplies
      are not allowed to enter Gaza, 80% of the population(1.5 million ) at the moment depends on
      the UN aid and diffrent international aid agencies .the UN staff are not allowed to leave or
      enter Gaza .while Israel is sealing the Gaza strip ,and at the same time , intisfying air
      raids and land military operations against Gaza , where in the last few days 37 people were
      killed and 120 were injured ,most of them are civilians , in a desperate trial to stop the
      projected rockets from Gaza against the israelis villages , where the Israeli citizens
      complains of paniccing attacks, the response with such overreacted operations agianst Gaza is
      unjustified ,power and fuel cut off is frank collective punishment

      THIS TIME I AM WRITING TO TELL YOU PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR US IN GAZA
      1.5 million of Gaza are dying slowly
      they need your help and support , tell the world israel search for peace and security , will
      not be acheived by this collective punishment against us

OpenID

4:00pm JST Monday 21 January 2008 (day 13816)

Okay. I think I've got a beginning of a start on allowing logins via openID. After countless attempts at downloading various things, I eventually used openidenabled.com/, but only the (Auth and) consumer part of it. I commented out all the PAPE stuff, cause I can't figure out what that does, so I don't care about it. (( but I left the code there, just in case I figure it out later ))

Given that several of the big websites support OpenID, I've basically decided that for ctbriefs.net, I will only allow openID logins. I don't gas who they are exactly; I just want to uniquely identify users.

I even got the little icon to show up inside the login text field.

Sweet. Now I've gotten $_SESSION going so I can tell who is logged in. Next is to allow them to log out.

But first, I'm going to meet ゆりか for an English lesson. She was sick when we were last supposed to meet. I wanted to get our lesson in before I zoom to 鹿児島 for 10 days.

Work

11:15am JST Monday 21 January 2008 (day 13816)

On Friday I did literally nothing work related while at work. I had finished all of my part; I needed to get some translations done for the Japanese content, and I simply didn't ask 中谷さん for help. Instead I just scooped up loads of free internet. I worked on ctbriefs.net, my nin remix, and other stuff I don't recall at the moment.

Today I've actually done some work related stuff, including getting 中谷さん to do the translations. Now I'm about to look for a way to present a list in columns instead of just one list. HTML is well suited for listing items across:

but not going down first.

I gave up trying to figure out how to do that; the need is very slight in that it hasn't been requested by anyone but me, and it's only for the few users who will have a bunch of friends joining them on the site, which as of now is zero.

Mostly today I got ctbriefs.net to allow logins via openID, so I'm pretty much thrilled with that. Tomorrow I might refigure out how to set up a new SVN repository; I did it easily enough for the first version of ctbriefs which used codeigniter, but I'm not using that code for this version. Even though it's pretty dope, I couldn't get the hang of it so I'm giving up.

Dang, that sounds dumb, or old-man-ish, but it's basically the truth. I can revisit it for the next version of ctbriefs.net, if ever I make one.

If ever I finish this one.
