Ongytenes Wonder's Home Page

NOTICE: When Google forced the change-over to the 'new & improved' Google Sites, the formatting and highlighting of my code examples were lost.  Also access to all reference files and some links were broken. Please be patient as I attempt to repair the damage inflicted.

About The Name
Years ago I went searching for a pseudonym for my online identity  and found the Old English word ongytenes  for knowledge. I wanted something unique that would help me stand out in a search engine.  Later a 3D online social media site insisted I select a pseudonym for my last name from their  list. I saw the word wonder and figured it would serve me as in being inquisitive.

That is what this site is about. I have always enjoyed learning and imparting knowledge.  So as a hobby, I have set this site up to share knowledge with others.  I feel that to hoard knowledge is wrong and to pass it on to the next generation enriches society.

So enjoy the information, and remember, pass it on

• My motherboard died and I now have received  a new  mini computer that I am using for now to try and catch up on my online edits.

• Working on repairing damage caused by Google Sites upgrade.

• Received a message that Google was updating Google Sites and relocating it.  I was unable to edit my pages until I accepted the updates. I have retained the old address but viewers will be automatically forwarded to the new site. The update will change the appearance of this web page.

• Uploaded a new LibreOffice Tutorial video. 

• Been experimenting with LiveCode 9. Interesting cross-platform rapid application development software. Some terminology and methods was a bit alien to me. Taken some adjustment in my thinking to adapt. For example it uses "stacks" and "cards" for the windows. A stack can contain many cards that can be switched and a card can hold multiple objects like buttons, progress bars, fields etc. Will be sharing some code snippets.

• Experimenting with the Raspberry Pi. Thinking of building a lamp with swing-arms with keyboard/mouse/monitor to relax and surf in my recliner. No tablet with tiny screens.  View Concept.

• Updated my G+ Url. It is now https://plus.google.com/+Ongytenes (UPDATE: Google abandoned the G+)

• Updated my user profile on the LinuxMint site.

• Using Gambas 3.9 and the editor's spacing has been fixed.

• I'm back to posting videos on my YouTube channel. I have finally acquired a new computer that is able to do the video editing I needed.

• For the past few weeks I been transitioning from Gambas 2 to 3.11. Only complaint I had with version 3 is the editor's spacing gets off as I type. 

• I got a new computer with 8GB of RAM and slide some extra hard drives into it.  Running multiple monitors and loving it. I have switched from Ubuntu to Linux Mint as my primary Linux distro since I found Mate more to my liking than Unity.

• Have Started adding pages for programming. See the Code  

• Have opened an Instructable's Account

• My good computer was destroyed by lighting. Resorted to using an ancient and slow computer with a defective video card. This will certainly crimp my rendering video tutorials.
