Is it a war between automatizing systems? Everything you can do with Automator, you can do it with Applescript but the inverse is not true. If you are a developer you will find it refreshing to automate some simple repetitive tasks with automator, but you will inevitably hit the limits of Automator and switch back to scripting; even if its a script action inside of Automator.

Nowadays we have to embrace Internet. No matter if you want to inform yourself about a product, search you way on a map or your best friend wants to show you his latest photos. From the very beginning of Internet(for the wide public) up to now I’ve spent a good deal of my life on the Net. This Internet time should be pleasing, agreeable and productive. It is a vital step to take time and organize your online life.
Still no trace, no hope for an announcement the next days/weeks? Should we really wait for the next Intel Chip Arrandale, or simply get the current CPU. I am in search every day, for some news. But only stumble across rumors.
I’ve set out to create a new uniform GUI, but soon found about Shoes. I had to do little bit more of googling. Now that I found THE toolkit I craved for I read about one of the creator “_why” which suddenly disappeared, from internet.
In the past I wouldn’t have bothered much about it, but with the new changes taking place in the internet world like cloud computing, where all our thoughts, photos, videos; lifes are online. We all have to remember that behind every line of text, except for the lines created from bots or spammers; there are human beings behind them.

Ruby is incredibly adaptable to a multitude of environments, operating systems and GUI toolkits. It can become cumbersome to procrastinators like me who tend to be in search for the one true way to fit it all. Note that I call it unified ruby GUI vs standard ruby GUI, because I don’t think that a true standard toolkit would make the world happy. My humble expectations are:
- can be installed as gem and uses gem
- supports*: windows, mac os x, gnome, kde, web-interface
- *using the preferred toolkit** of that platform
- **no other dependencies should be added
- simple things should be simple
- complicated things should be possible
After 5 years spent with my PowerBook G4, which was an admirably well conceived laptop and 1 year with a MacMini; as the later was meant to become a multimedia center, he is now coupled with a nice FullHD TV and I am back using Linux Debian for my daily work and no computer for my private stuff.
Before switching to Mac I was living a happily windowless live( the 5 years before my switch to mac) with Linux. The last distribution I used for at least 2 years was Gentoo. But it went from hard to very hard and time consuming to manage; and I had less time to be my own system developer/administrator, so I decided to give Mac a try.
