Yes I know it's been a long time since I reached out to you through this medium; forgive me. The thing is these days I procrastinate a lot.
However, this one made it to press before the fever caught me gain :D
You know how we do it around here. The blog is-Everything is double double!-indicative of the fact that most things in life happen in pairs. Our focus in this post is quite interesting.
I am sure if you have been actively observing any media from Nigeria, it is no longer news that the aviation minister is under fire for approving (whether directly or indirectly) the purchase of very expensive armoured luxury vehicles for her use. The case is still being investigated at all levels. Apparently, the lady involved is a heavyweight else the first thing that should have taken place is her suspension so she or her loyalists would not interfere with investigations.
The case has dragged on for a while. We patiently await the final verdict. While this drama is going on in Nigeria, our neighbours Ghana seem to differ on how corrupt leaders should be dealt with. A female minister-a double for the ladies-was quoted as saying that 'I will remain in politics until I have acquired one million dollars' and further that 'people who have a lot of money can control other people'. Goodness me!
I guess the Ghanian folks did not wait to see if she meant what she said or if she had the guts to carry it out, they just sacked her! After all, it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks right?
In these two cases, we see two women acting on greed and indeed proving to us that what a man can do, a woman can do better! These two definitely started their careers on the right path and got to the apex position they currently occupy(or used to occupy in the case of Ghana).However, the issue is that somewhere along the line, the urge to acquire wealth became larger and pushed out the need to have a good name.
Hmmm...let us all be careful. Any one can fall for the temptation. So help us God. You got comments I know! Please say that you dropped by and read the article. Then make your contributions. Thank you.

ON SERVICES AND THEIR PROXIES
Hi there! Yes it's been a while since I posted....reason? Same old-work! Well I found out I could eek out some minutes from my Tuesday morning and put something together on this blog. By the way thanks for always stopping by to read or just check if Charles has anything up his sleeves this time :)
Today I'll like to draw an analogy between what obtains in the world of software services and what Christians call the Trinity.
For those who may not be in the know, the Trinity is made up of the Godhead-God the Father, God the Son-Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit. As it currently stands, the Holy Spirit is on the earth, resident in believers, while God the Father and God the Son are in Heaven.
Now though this cannot be explained it is TRUE that the 3 persons are really 1 GOD and whatever God the Father is thinking or saying is also relayed to the Holy Spirit representing the Godhead here on earth.
When believers who are the containers as it were of the Holy Spirit, pray, the Spirit helps their prayers get to God and meet their need.
So what's the analogy when it comes to XML web services? Simple. The Service Class resides on a server somewhere and contains all the functionality. This maps 1 to 1 with God the Father and God the Son. Then the proxy that is created in the client that consumes the service, represents the service on the client side.
When any method is invoked on the proxy, it simply relays the request to the actual service over wire and the service executes the method. The result is returned wrapped in XML. Now if any of you don't agree with this analogy let me know. After all we disagree to agree.
See yah later!

Message to my Eyes:
Whenever, the Object that generates Lust [I know You want ME NOW! Feelings] first
catches your attention, DO NOT Look again. You will only put me in trouble when you
look at the Object again and again like a computer that's frozen because it is
executing an endless Loop and the OS is in heavy deadlock. That Object only wants to be worshipped. But there's Someone You are very Free to Gaze at! No I'm not saying You shouldn't do any other thing the Whole day![Your bills need to be paid remember?] You can Gaze by Seeing Him in Every Little Thing You do and Every Person You Meet. After all You are doing 'Whatever You do as Unto the Lord' right?
So why is this post here? Because everything in Life truly is Double Double! Check This Out:
while(True)
{
You.LookAt(LustGeneratingOject);
if(LustGeneratingObject.IsBeforeYourEyes == True)
break; // get out of this Loop
}
If the property 'IsBeforeYourEyes' never becomes false, your head will continue looking at the LustGeneratingObject. This happens in real Life as well as in Computer Programs.[Please Forgive my Bias :D]
So how do we make that property false and break out of the Endless Loop? Simple! Just get your the LustGeneratingObject out of sight! As they say out of sight is out of mind.
Sometimes the LustGeneratingObject lingers in your mind as imagination and thoughts of you 'experiencing' the LustGeneratingObject whatever it may be- a Beautiful Lady or Handsome man (well dressed or scantily dressed), a luxurious car, attractive food (usually junk or fast food), a lovely dress or house, the list is endless.
That is where God takes over! He always does it SO WELL! TRY HIM!

MVVM architecural pattern and TRINITY!
This would be my first post on this blog-been putting off starting this blog for a long while now! Oh how the mighty have fallen, slain by the thief called PROCRASTINATION. Well I finally did, thank God I recovered.
Let me introduce myself and then the blog. I am a technology specialist - a software developer - quite IT geeky :-). Now I found that I have musings and thoughts about things in my field - IT which is overwhelmingly digital and find them beig linked intrinsically or essentially to things in life that ain't so digital (analogue). Hence the name digitalanalogies!
Ok...I know this is not a detailed introduction but this is essentially what I do in this blog. Now to business.
MVVM an acronym that stands for Model View ViewModel. It's actually three things involved here even though it looks like four. The Model stands for the data access layer, a tier that controls access to-Creating Retrieving Updating and Deleting(CRUD)- records in a Database- a storehouse for our information. It could do this through Web service calls or even data context in a RIA scenario - ok enough of acronyms(smile) i promise to resist the urge to use them.
Yes, on to the next...View is simply as the name suggests, VIEW- what you see on your computer screen, the buttons you click, the textboxes you enter data into etc. In short, its the part you and I (as users Oh!) really see. It has minimal or ZERO code at all.
Finally, the Mayonnaise or butter that sandwiches the two i mentioned above...the POWERFUL ViewModel! This guy contains the main code that first of all receives data from the Model and formats it in a way that the View can appreciate it then connects and throws it out to the View which we can see. Now it also takes care of monitoring the view for changes to the data that were put out and responds to commands triggered on the view by the user.
Now, this TRIAD reminds me of TRINITY...yes I know what you are thinking-Father, Son and Holy Ghost. But I got something else in mind. The body, soul and spirit of man.
Your body is the only thing people see about you right? So that would be your view. That's the part that qualifies you to be in this world. Its the ultimate User Interface (UI) created by GOD. The part everyone can see and interact with. The one they call you. Its your house really.
Your spirit is the part God sees and deals with. In fact that IS the REAL DEAL. Its the part God can get to and talk to and receive from...God's USER INTERFACE! God is Spirit and is supposed to be our Source. He is the ultimate Database of TRUTH and GRACE-everything Good and Perfect.Our spirit was designed to seek Him and carry Him hence give to and receive DATA from Him. So in our case our spirit is the Model.
The meat of the M-V-VM Sandwich(the meat comes in between, I wonder why this one comes last!), the Soul! It links the Model (spirit) and View (body) together. In fact the link is so VITAL that if the soul prospers the body would reflect it.(1 Jn 3:2) Stress, negative emotions-murmuring, complaining, slandering, bitterness etc. will work against it. IT enables the body to receive and enjoy the data that the spirit has to offer in abundance.
Now let's see where we err and take measures to put things right especially where our souls are concerned. It is a very vital trinity that MUST work if we MUST succeed! Think about it!
