So far this setup has been a little tricky. In kernel support for the Wireless device comes with 2.6.27, so I prepared a LiveUSB with the install ISO and some of the bare necessary packages like, gentoo-sources-2.6.27, reiserfsprogs, dhcpcd and grub oh and of course a stage3 and portage snapshot.
Once I had got that all configured up I attempted to use distcc but kept on getting errors. So I did the normal emerge -uD world once booted and with net connectivity and over night I left xorg-x11 compiling. It took:
real 110m59.439s
user 72m10.081s
sys 25m20.474s
Which I don’t think is that bad for a tiny 900Mhz machine 
(If I get time I will post up my kernel configs for others.)
So I have been tinkering with creating a web frontend for a simple tool for use at work. On thursday I knocked up the app in vanilla, MySQL+PHP+bTemplate and a few jokes were made about it not being very pritty, etc. So I have spent a few hours getting the logic sorted out for an application that has virtually no HTML. The browser load the HTML, and associated scripts and then all the rest runs in JavaScript. Dynamically generate the login form, handle cookies, etc… Although it is a very simple app it does work very quickly. Dynamically creating DOM/HTML nodes seems so far to be quick enough. Who knows maybe in the future I don’t touch HTML at all!
An example of the HTML is:
<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”external/JSONError.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”external/JSON.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/lib.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/handlers.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/gui.js”></script>
<script type= “text/javascript”>
/*<![CDATA[*/
var jsonURL = "json.php";
/*]]>*/
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/init.js”></script>
</body>
</html>
And an example of init.js:
var body = document.body;
var cookies = new Cookies();
var divs = {};
var login = true;
var t = cookies.read(“LoggedIn”);
if(t != null && t == “1″) {
if(isLoggedIn()) {
login = false;
}
}
if(login == true) {
guiLoginBuild();
} else {
guiMainBuild();
}
Once it’s a bit more completed I will post the app up for people to enjoy.
