Since long before Java, Jan Aminoff and A-Square has used Rart to provide holiday greetings for the Yule Season and the New Year.
On this site we will post the cards as they appeared for some specific recipients. Each electronic card was actually personalized in various ways and we have selected a version that happened to be available.
This card is demonstrated in an early version of the R10L environment. It is directed to my brother Stefan and his family which includes married daughters and grandchildren. It shows a variation of the Flakes universe.
This card basically uses RDK 1.0 beta as released in July 1999. here it is demonstrated in R10L, but it was successfully executed also in RR11 to produce hard copy cards for some recipients. It is directed to my sister-in-law Liane and my five nephews and one niece. They live in Sweden, so some of the greetings are necessarily in Swedish
This card shows a stylized landscape of trees topped with stars, flakes. This card executes in the RR10 environment where a long mousclick will allow the user to change any uParameters. However, the download for new classes can be long the first time you try the download and the modification.
This card was personalized for some of the rartists of the time.
This card is running in the new RDK 2.0 environment. This means that it requires a Java 1.1 enabled browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 4.5 or better). It also allows packaging of clasases in jarfiles resulting in significantly faster downloads. RDK 2.0 also allows the import of customized resources exemplified in this applet by two textfiles that customize the greeting. Instructions for customizing are also provided here.
This card executes in the new RRlet environment (Equivalent to RR10) where a long mousclick will allow the user to change any uParameters.
The card is here personalized for the National Capital Area Council of IEEE where I have the honor to serve as secretary for 2002.
Although the card looks like Flakes Falling above, significant changes have been made. For one thing it allows the personalization of the greeting in four lines of text which can be input outside the Java code. The same universe without the text is displayed at the sample Demo as Snows.
The card is personalized for Alexander and Jenise, my son and his wife who now provide a roof over my head and also host these web pages at www.basespase.net
This was a year of transition and I had started to change things, so little happened with the card, except that some of the flakes now rotate in addition to falling. The greeting is generic but easily modified.
My joining the Unitarian Universalist Society of Rockport was a significant and unexpected step in my life. I was pleased to use my general Rart capability to include in the Universe a background foto of the actual UU Church. The zipped file almost doubled compared to 2003, because of the picture from 43 to 84 KB, which just requires a little more patience on behalf of the observer.
The card is dedicated to Alexander and Jenise and the new person, my
granddoughter Annelise, born February 6,
2004.
The card is dedicated to the Team that worked on the Södra Älvstranden project in Gothenburg, fall of 2005.
