Structed Object Definition Language (SODL)

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

The Structured Object Definition Language (SODL) is a domain-specific language designed for defining data structures, relationships, and constraints in a clear and organized manner. Files written in SODL use the .sodl extension, reflecting the language’s focus on structured object definitions. SODL provides a rich set of constructs that allow developers to model complex data relationships while maintaining type safety and data integrity.

The name “Structured Object Definition Language” reflects the language’s core purpose: it provides a structured way to define objects and their relationships in a data model. The “Structured” aspect emphasizes its systematic approach to organizing data definitions, while “Object Definition” highlights its primary focus on defining data objects and their properties.

People of GVRD - a photographic experiment

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I started a new project - to shoot random strangers in the streets of GVRD (Greater Vancouver Regional Districts - for those of you that are not from here). I wanted to see if I had the guts to walk up to random strangers, and ask their permission to shoot a picture of them. I was also curious to know how they would react to it, and what my success rate would be.

Twitter digests

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0000

A few weeks back, I installed Alex King’s Twitter Tools for wordpress. Running it for a few weeks, I found that by lack of posting to my blog, became more apparent that earlier. There are now more “twitter” posts than the number of posts that I have written myself in the last year or so. How pathetic is that?!

Looks like I have almost lost the need to say something (about anything) and it is about time to shut down this blog. However, I intend to give it another shot (one last time), before I stop hosting my own blog, and move to life-streaming instead (You can already find my at shiva.tumblr.com).
