This was followed by an animated Q&A session that saw the Author fielding questions as varied as 'Would Goans feel betrayed by such a book?' 'Was the church complicit in this process?' Despite the negative connotation that the very word conjures, the Author was clear that “a Poskem is not a slave”. The Padma Shri (Art) recipient then delighted the audience with a reading of a chapter from his book. He further elucidated that the recipes in the book “are a foil for the darkness” of the story. His research, he said, showed that while this two hundred year old Goan tradition has been mentioned in song and in the Tiatre, nothing had thus far been documented on paper, hence the raison d'etre for the book.

Terming his book “an apology” for the injustice suffered by many, the Author explained that the word “Poskem” is derived from Sanskrit and means “to take care of”. Founder and President of iBrowse, Marianne Furtado de Nazareth, presided over the opening ceremony that saw noted personality and close friend of the Author, Stanley Pinto, cut the ribbon to present the first copy of the book in Bengaluru with the subsequent presentation of copies of the book to select people. This joint venture of iBrowse, Catholic Club, and the Karnataka Goan Association saw an eclectic mix of people fill The Ballroom at the Catholic Club on the 27th of August. I've worked around this problem for now by subclassing MUIC_Prop and creating a Slider-like API on top of it.Goans who have lived in the shadows were brought into the spotlight by Author and Designer Wendell Rodricks when in town recently for the launch/reading of his latest literary offering “Poskem”. How do I stop the Zune SliderObject from displaying the current level as a number inside the slider? Setting MUIA_Slider_Quiet to TRUE when creating it doesn't seem to have any effect. Slider(x,y,z) is easy to use than MUI_MakeObject() or SliderObject(). Took days to work out why the values I set in GUI never matched up in what I saved.Īlso, why are some useful macros in MUI are now obsolete? BOOL, WORD or strings unless you get the Exact correct data types right. Get() for instance, some values will not get() e.g. There were also many improvements in family handling and much more. MUI4 was really extended or improved in many ways, but for applications like OWB, mainly dtpic.mui with alpha support, groups/tabs able to use groups as titles, list class much improved and adding proper methods for display/construction/destruction/whatever instead of hooks.
#Ibrowse books portable
HTMLview MCC is made portable and should be ported to AROS. Trouble with boopsi gadget based classes (like prop) which then create boopsi gadget twice. Does re-asking minmax, relayout, and show objects again. Some Zune classes call MUIA_ShowMe inside show method (maybe they shouldn't) which triggers a recalcdisplay method in window class. NList classes don't appear to get minmax'ed so items get drawn at the original "size" still All the needed parts (PSI and muiscreen library) are already in place, now it's only a matter of connecting them.Ĭause crashes - most notable are objects embedded in balance groups. Zune still doesn't support custom application screens. and refreshes itself continually for no reason? Or so it seems?. when entering text into the chat window, etc.

Tabs don't work, the string acknowledge notification doesn't work, and the gui wants to resize by itself for no reason i.e. Like for example by Ibrowse, WookieChat, SabreMsn, Amirc and Lunapaint to trap inconsistencies. Test all that native mui apps on os4/mos, and it will be the best test case for zune-mui3.8 compatibility. Zune (Aros MUI replacement) has a few features of MUI3.8 but many things have still to be done, compatibility checked and bug(s) fixed.
