In Southern Mid- and Late Lent
On 59.52.8 TRINPsite comprises 817 public files, of which approximately
639 different or 'unique' ones: 117 *.htm (not *Txt.htm), 6 *.html,
385 *.HTM, 1 *Txt.htm, 1 *.wml, 6 style sheets, 7 JavaScript files, 81
pictures, 4 ikons and 31 sound files.
In the 48th week a new format was introduced, with the code F6:
| HTML FILE FORMATS |
| CODE |
DATE |
NEW CHARACTERISTIC |
| F6 | 59.48.1 | suitable for non-JS browsing |
| see
below for older formats |
Text pages in this format are suitable for browsing with and without
JavaScript (JS). For non-JS use a number of 'noscripts' have been added,
which is a partial return to the days of yore, when the use of JavaScript
was not universal. These 'noscripts' are codes between a
<noscript> and a </noscript> tag, which are only
read when scripts are not processed.
The new format was needed, because a standard TRINPsite text file uses
external JavaScript (JS) and Cascading-Style-Sheet files. When the
HTML-document is opened these external files are called upon by means of an
(internal) JS script. The great advantage of this procedure is that any
common change in the frame text, a picture or general layout of the
hundreds of documents can be made at one central point, so that such a
change does not have to be made in each document separately. It has always
been, and still is, a completely safe procedure which does not in any way
abuse the visitor's computer, let alone infringe upon 'er privacy. Even the
VariViewing feature, the most complicated JS script at TRINPsite, does not
do this by any manner of means.
Quite suddenly such scripts as described above are now considered
dangerous 'active content', for active content may be used by others for
illicit purposes. So, it turned out that in a great number of cases a
browser may nowadays have a default setting in which no active content is
processed at all. Visitors who heed the warning given by such a browser and
who do not let JavaScript process the external files and perform several
other (innocuous) functions will get pages of which the layout is not
complete, while the VariViewing and other features will not work at all. Of
course, the visitor can change 'er browser settings, so that active content
will be processed as it ought to be in the case of TRINPsite. In order to
encourage the visitor to do so a special technical page has been created
with information about this matter, called
"Active content of text files" at
Info/ActCont.HTM. In the new F6 format the link to this page is found at
the very bottom of the text file in a 'noscript'. The content of this
'noscript' is only visible for visitors using a browser which does not
accept scripts.
The Notes branch (/Notes/) and the Papers branch (/Pap/) have
been combined. There is no essential difference between long notes and
short papers or essays, and the number of collections of notes and of
papers did not necessitate separate file folders either. From now on there
will be one Notes and Papers branch on the highest level of which
the directory is named "Note" (/Note/). This directory will, of course,
have subdirectories. At present, one is taken from the old Notes
branch and gives access to
the Notes of the Metric Months; the other is
taken from the old Papers branch and gives access to the documents
of
Discrimination Between Right and
Relevancy. This means that the Papers and Notes folder will
contain both nodal and basic text files.
The paper The philosopher whose name will forever remain ...
(at Notes/PhilName.HTM) was not moved to the new TRINPsite Notes and
Papers folder but to a private site instead. This paper is an attack on
the ideas of one philosopher in particular, a person who never attacked
TRINPsite or the Model of Neutral-Inclusivity 'imself, if only because 'e
died 200 years ago. This is the sole reason why the paper was deleted from
the TRINPsite hierarchy of hypertextual links. (Its address is now
http://www.xs4all.nl/~in/En/Note/PhilName.HTM.)
The bottom of the pages of the
Vocabulary of Alliteration was slightly
altered, so that these pages will better fit into the two different sites
which carry the Vocabulary. This required a new (multi-site) picture:
Graf/Icon/ButtonBl.gif, a blue button for access to the main document of
the site concerned.
In Southern Early Lent
On 59.44.7 TRINPsite comprises 816 public files, of which approximately
638 different or 'unique' ones: 117 *.htm (not *Txt.htm), 6 *.html,
385 *.HTM, 1 *Txt.htm, 1 *.wml, 6 style sheets, 7 JavaScript files, 80
pictures, 4 ikons and 31 sound files.
The only 'unique' file added was
TRINPsite Questions ans Answers, a nodal file
used as a basic text document for the time being. It contains a selection
of questions, together with the answers to these questions, sent to
TRINPsite by e-mail or form or entered in the guestbook. It was more and
more regretted that the sometimes rather long answers given privately to
visitors' questions were not available to others or were simply lost. While
technically the guestbook could also be used as a means to make questions
and answers generally available (altho it is not meant fot that purpose),
it is not or hardly possible to use this medium in practice. For a
guestbook lends itself too easily to all sorts of abuse, such as
large-scale pasting and the illegitimate use of other people's names and
addresses. In the new document some of the most interesting or typical
questions or answers can now be read by any visitor. It goes without saying
that the questioners are and cannot be publicly identified, unless they
have personally done so or given permission.
Nowadays, it has become much more common to download a sound file in
*.mp3 format than in *.wav format. That is why seven
TRINPsite wave files in which there was no great interest have now been
deleted: FinAnWi.wav, NuNm02TO.wav, NuNm3xTO.wav, ToA1SRO.wav, ToA6RTe.wav,
WhAs0Ph.wav and Whl4SWO.wav. At the same time, six MP3 files were improved
and changed names:
The following five sound files were improved while their names remained
unchanged:
In Equatorial and Southern Yule
On 59.40.7 TRINPsite comprises 822 public files, of which approximately
637 different or 'unique' ones: 116 *.htm (not *Txt.htm), 6 *.html,
385 *.HTM, 1 *Txt.htm, 1 *.wml, 6 style sheets, 7 JavaScript files, 80
pictures, 4 ikons and 31 sound files.
In connection with the figures from the Model of Neutral-Inclusivity added
in Late Lent the following three files were created, so that all figures
will be accessible from a nodal Model page as well:
The right-frame and multiple viewing features were considerably
improved in Southern Equinoctial (the last month of Yule). The most
important improvement was the addition of the double-clicking function.
By double-clicking on a page of the latest format in a TRINPsite frame or
subframe that page will now be shown in the full TRINPsite window or frame.
The great advantage of this is not only that a page one is interested in is
shown in a bigger frame, which requires no or less scrolling, but also that
it has become much easier to return to the complete original window or
frame. (Before it was necessary to go back as many times as one had gone
forward.)
In the case of 'multiple viewing' the window or frame is subdivided into
two horizontal or two vertical equal frames or subframes. In the case of
'right-frame viewing' the window or frame is subdivided into a right frame
of full page width (if possible) and a smaller left frame with an index or
similar page. By clicking a link in the left (index) page the page will not
be shown in the left page itself (which will remain the same) but in the
right frame. Compare this with a left page during vertical multiple
viewing, where the page in the left frame itself will be changed after
clicking one of its links. At the moment right-frame viewing is possible
for the main index page and for
the Vocabulary of Alliteration. Multiple
viewing is a feature which has always been offered at the top of the
main document.
The introduction of the double-clicking function required a place to inform
the surfer and reader. The multiple viewing feature opens with a page for
this kind of technical information in the left or top frame. The
right-frame viewing feature now contains a special left-bottom frame with
a reference to the double-clicking function. The 'page' in this little
frame (indBott.htm and a near-copy of it, VocABott.htm) had to be
especially created. The added advantage of this special addition is that it
is now also made possible to start multiple viewing from rigth-frame
viewing without having to go to the main document first.
From the second half of the 58th Northern Yule external access to a
standard TRINPsite document, for example from a search engine, would take
place in a specially opened VariViewing window with a specially created
separate console window. Technically speaking, however, such windows are
'pop-up windows', and pop-up windows are but too often used for commercial
puposes. Also the (entirely noncommercial) VariViewing feature started to
suffer from the fight against pop-up windows and therefore it has been
decided to use the improved right-frame viewing feature instead. From
Southern Equinoctial anyone who accesses a standard file from outside
TRINPsite will see that file in a right frame with the main index on
the left, and with multiple viewing links at the bottom on the left. The
VariViewing feature itself can, of course, still be started from the main
index page and the TRINPsite Selection menu. This is now even possible
during right-frame viewing by clicking the VariViewing 'button' in the left
frame, after which the page on the right will appear in the pop-up window
with the full width needed (so that no scrolling at the bottom will be
necessary) and not (much) more than needed.
In Northern Lent
On 59.24.7 TRINPsite comprises 817 public files, of which approximately
633 different or 'unique' ones: 112 *.htm (not *Txt.htm), 6 *.html,
385 *.HTM, 1 *Txt.htm, 1 *.wml, 6 style sheets, 7 JavaScript files, 80
pictures, 4 ikons and 31 sound files.
In the first month of Northern Lent, Northern Equinoctial, the old text
file Poet/NCGP/NAnn/MNIP/NarrowIsTxt.htm was given the latest F5 format and
moved to a new directory. The directory is Poet/NCGP/MNIP, a folder for all
Model (prose) poems, whether annotated or not. The new file, called
"NarrowIs.HTM", contains the latest version of the Model poem
Narrow is the neutral Middle
Path. It gives access to two 83-second sound files of the whole
poem as well: the original CD-quality 1.3-megabyte
NarroMCD.mp3 and a
telephone-quality wave file version.
Include the neutral name
and
To Ananda were also
moved from to the new folder, while the old directory Poet/NCGP/NAnn/MNIP
was discontinued.
TRINPsite does not publish statistics, as quantity does not determine
quality and as no one's interest in TRINPsite documents should merely or
too much depend on other people's interest in those documents. Yet, some
public indication of the popularity of a Web page is given by search
engines in the number of links to that page shown in their results for
certain words and phrases. Even more important is the ranking of that page
by a search engine. However, it makes a big difference whether a page comes
out top in a list of 100 or top in a list of 100,000. This is a question
of prominence: even tho the 'rank' is the same, the prominence is
1,000 times larger in the latter case. Since anyone can get the links and
rankings from the Web anyhow, a special document has been created by the
name of
Search engine prominence. This name
emphasizes, again, that what counts are not the linkings and rankings as
such, but the 'prominence' of a page or a whole site in the results for the
particular word or set of words looked for. This is done for the TRINP
values and a number of other TRINPsite terms. And the visitor fond of
statistics may accept these data or check them out on the Internet
'imself.
In the last month of Northern Lent seven Model figures were scanned and
added to the MNI branch of files in their original or near-original shapes.
They form the following seven new 'text' documents:
The first six are figures from the Book of Instruments, the last one is a
figure from the Book of Fundamentals.
In Northern Late Yule
On 59.12.7 TRINPsite comprises 808 public files, of which approximately
617 different or 'unique' ones: 112 *.htm (not *Txt.htm), 6 *.html,
376 *.HTM, 2 *Txt.htm, 1 *.wml, 6 style sheets, 7 JavaScript files, 73
pictures, 4 ikons and 30 sound files.
This month only one entirely new document was added: Symmetrical Music. It contains a
'note' or article about symmetry in general and in music in particular.
In this article it is explained what symmetry in music means, and how
any 'regular' piece of music can be 'symmetrized'. One link is provided to
a sound file of the symmetrized neutralistic chant proper (part of Include the Neutral Name)
and another to the sound file of a symmetrized version of The Wheel That Turns,
the fourth of the Wheel poems (and a song too). These two 'TRINPsite' sound
files are presently located externally at
www.xs4all.nl/~in/Sound/SymMusic, together with other, instrumental
examples of symmetrical music.
For a Web site it is important to keep track of changes on the Internet, if
not to keep up with advances. One such change or advance is the
introduction of 'pop-up killers', which may not only make it impossible to
have a pop-up window opened but also to display advertizements, to write
cookies, and so on. As TRINPsite is not a commercial site by any manner of
means --this site costs money rather than that it earns money--, it
was not expected that such pop-up killers would in any way affect TRINPsite.
Unfortunately, this expectation was wrong. And not only that, it turned out
that a pop-up killer created errors on the main index page, where there
were no errors without such a program. Pop-up killers would make it
impossible to use the VariViewing facility, even tho the pop-up window is
not at all used to draw the surfer's attention away from the page linked
to. On the contrary: the surfer is invited to view that page in a separate
window supported by a console with special browser features. While this
problem may only concern the main index, the problem with pictures not
being displayed at all, because they are treated as 'advertizements'
concerns almost all TRINPsite documents. Moreover, sometimes it is
checked whether a visitor comes from one particular place, which is
quite something else than checking where a visitor is coming from. (This
particular place is usually a TRINPsite address itself.) Also this
innocuous way of checking on the visitor, who is not identified as an
individual in any way, is or can be made impossible by pop-up killers.
Meanwhile adequate measures have been taken to make it wholly, or at least
practically, impossible for pop-up killers and similar programs to change
the JavaScript source code of TRINPsite documents. (Because that is what
they do!) Another action has been taken to prevent such programs from
deleting pictures (noncommercial pictures, as no TRINPsite picture
is commercial anyhow). This latter measure, however, is only fully
effective in documents of the latest format and in documents especially
adapted for this reason.
In Northern Early and Mid-Yule
On 59.08.7 TRINPsite comprises 805 public files, of which approximately
616 different or 'unique' ones: 112 *.htm (not *Txt.htm), 6 *.html,
375 *.HTM, 2 *Txt.htm, 1 *.wml, 6 style sheets, 7 JavaScript files, 73
pictures, 4 ikons and 30 sound files.
In Northern Mid-Yule the whole Model became available in plain text files,
at least to the extent that it is also available in graphic files. This
was accomplished by adding the following files: one file with the last
three chapters of the Book of Fundamentals (called "MNI/BoF4-6.txt"), the first three
chapters of the Book of Instruments (called "MNI/BoI1-3.txt"), the central three
chapters (called "MNI/BoI4-6.txt"),
the last three chapters of the same book (called "MNI/BoI7-9.txt") and finally one file
with the Contents, Preface and Epilogue (called "MNI/Model.txt").
The section Fake focuses of
relevancy has now been turned into an up-to-date graphic file as
well. The old text file is kept as a
sort of 'historical' document. It dates back to 51.13.1.
On the first day of the new year a new format with the code 'F5' was
introduced. It has special JavaScript truth values for external files,
which have not only increased in number over the years but also in size.
Before executing a script it checks whether the external file needed has
been loaded. Without such a measure the user could be faced with endless
error messages, especially on-line if the connection was bad. Now only one
message will appear simply informing the user that the page in question is
not complete. While F5 is the latest format, all previous formats are used
as well for the time being. They are, in reverse chronological order:
| HTML FILE FORMATS |
| CODE |
DATE |
NEW CHARACTERISTIC |
| F5 | 59.01.1 | with external file truth values |
| F4 | 58.11.1 | features rainbow objects |
| F3 | 57.45.2 | allows VBScript |
| F2 | -- | makes use of HeadObjs.js |
| F1 | -- | with correct resizing |
| M2 | 56.45.4 | -- |
| M1 | 56.15.7 | with floating menus |
| V | -- | with validated HTML |
| J | -- | with JavaScript script(s) |
As always, this new Add[itions a]N[d ]Rev[isions] file for the 10th year
of TRINPsite's existence was added as well.
