Rewriting A Lot Of Software

Among many recent updates to WiredPages (WP), the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)1 calculator maintained on the WP Health page was updated from a Java applet to a servlet.

The illustration above taken before work was complete, however I wanted to show the difference in the applet version versus the servlet. Updates like this conversion now allow visitors using mobile devices to interact with many of the WiredPages interfaces that were originally developed using Java applet technology. Typically, mobile devices, i.e., iPads, Androids, tablets [stand alone] and phones do not support Java applets.

Briefly, some of the other recent changes:

  • Added a new Dictionary interface to the Reference page.
  • Added Famous Birthdays to the Style & Events page. (Did not update the online birthday database with the master version I use off-line for software development and testing. Security issues, however the current online version is pretty robust.)
  • Updates to the interfaces on the Government page.
  • Slowly, updating links on most of the pages.

Yesterday I decided to take a break from software development. I went out to take photographs for business community projects. See my social media link icons, top right sidebar.

Today, again I did not pull out my Macbook [used for software development and illustrative documentation screen-grabs].

It has been a busy 3 or 4 weeks insofar as updates and rewrites to WiredPages interfaces and I still have lots of work to do.

1BMR is the amount of energy expended each day when the body is at rest.
