I’ve been trying to set up Scone as a proxy on my laptop, since I
can’t run it on the prototype host itself. However, I’m having *such*
problems getting my desktop to use my laptop as a server. Applet
communication problems, database communication problems… It can’t
seriously be this difficult!

In the worst case, I may even have to run an X server and run Firefox
off my laptop. Now how responsive will *that* be? Argh!!

Plan A.2: Install Scone on the desktop that I’ll be using, and use my
laptop as the MySQL server.

The CBC had a program called “Separated at Birth” - music that was
uncannily similar. Then the CBC played one of the Bach concertos - and
I started singing fragments of “Windmills of Your Mind”, a song that
had been drilled into my memory from countless repetitions going up
the zig-zag roads to Banaue. (This was before CD changers. It may even
have been before writable CDs.)

I still don’t know which Bach concerto it resembled, but cool!

Scone interferes with some of the AJAX goodness I use. I think this is
because it overrides the onLoad event. BodyEventAdder is supposed to
recognize parameters, but the Google Maps plugin uses Javascript and
addCodeToFunction to add the code, and somehow that’s not getting picked up.

Aha! Workaround: override the function that ym4r was using to insert
the Google Maps code and get it to write out a named Javascript
function instead. Add this named function to the body tag. Everyone happy.

Yay!

I also have to figure out how to get it to log AJAX events. I can
reconstruct it from the processed requests if I have to, I guess…
