Welcome to dckim.com. You have found the emptyFile project.

You are free take the program into your possession by downloading it.

Here, the program file can be downloaded directly in a compressed format: https://dckim.com/emptyFile.html.zip

The compressed format makes the file smaller and easier to download or send to your friends. The file has an approximate size of 425 kilobytes.


The majority of the program is now complete and the first review is nearly finished. Following a few minor changes, I will again take some time off from working on this project.

It is a very interesting project which has itself both facilitated and enabled its own completion. For a multi-language program that is multi-purpose, it makes sense for this to be the case. Writing this small website has helped to improve the structure, layout, and flow of the program. The necessary changes became evident based on trial usage for the purpose of producing this website.

Here are links to other places in this website:

  • A short portion of a blog. The blog concludes with a link to download the daily logfile that details a crucial turning point in the development of this program. Basically I went from writing the program slowly, line by line, to writing the program quickly using programmatic techniques at the linux prompt in a BASH shell.

  • This is the daily logfile here. The logfile is in HTML format and is not translated in advance at this time. It can be translated by your browser if you wish to view it in your language.

  • Here is a page that gives some motivational context to promote using email more frequently: https://dckim.com/thePitch.html

  • Use the following link to view a brief demostration of one interesting aspect that is available in the program: The small gift wrapped boxes. I am not sure why but, German people, without explanation, do enjoy miniatures. It may be because miniatures require no explanation.

When I was first implementing this functionality, which resulted in these small gift boxes being included in this program: I had no idea that the visual appearance of the boxes would be so amusing. Then, after working out the small bit of programming necessary to accomplish it (self references and self containment), that is when I saw it for the first time. I thought to myself "Is that ever cute!" The little boxes were like a miniature version of the information that was in the data block! Then I tried something else, and the concept began travelling on its own path towards its natural result. I used the program to change many of the data blocks into small boxes. Then I used the program to send them, one by one, into intake, and then I appended those boxes each into the same data block. I thought: "That looks like the stack of boxes from someone who is getting fired from their office job!" I could not keep myself from wondering whether there was a little man standing behind there carrying that stack of boxes.

The boxes might one day come to represent the countless social media company computer programmers that will be fired after enough people download this program and start using email more frequently and writing their own websites. We just will not need them anymore.

There might be a tyrannical programmer behind the boxes. He has been recently fired from a social media company which itself has become obsolete and been cancelled.

Now I will give general information about the program:

The program began as a very simple idea and on very simple premises. Foundationally I knew that it needed to be available in as many languages as possible. When you first open the program, you will see that this initial step that can be completed will result in the interface of the program being translated by using the translation feature of your internet browser. This is an important concept that can be used throughout the program.

The internet browser seems to be able to translate anything at any time. So, naturally, the program simply enables us to capture those translated words and use them for our own purposes, in email or in website building.

This is a very important feature for people generally. All of the technology is available for us to be able to communicate seamlessly across different languages but, most software still seems frustrating to use. That is where the interface and the presentation in this program really shows a different and unique approach.

The most basic component of the interface that we see in the program is a grid. On the face of the grid squares we can see part of the indentifying information that is inside of the data block. We can change the height of the grid squares and we can toggle between two layouts for the face of the grid squares. There is nothing new about grids, they have been around for a long time. Where have these giant companies been? When we touch the grid square we open the data and then we can look inside and write changes to the information. We can also send the information at email, or save it as a web page.

I hope that the flow and interface of the program seem natural and are easy to use and understand.

After writing the majority of the boring programmatical parts of this program, I started working on the user interface for landscape mode. That is where this program is really set apart from other programs that are available for mobile telephones.

Instead of always doing this swiping motion, I have implemented click buttons left and right that allow you to cycle through the information. To me this seems a lot easier that swiping the screen always. Swiping and pinch zooming are, of course, always still possible. If you are like me, you might agree that those methods are good but, they are not the best for every situation. Computers are not supposed to be about physical exertion, swiping, swiping, swiping. I know it sounds lazy but, I think there are situations where swiping is just stupid.

This only rhymes in english but I guess I am just sniping about swiping. Flippers are still possible, and to me they are still number one.

So, there is a labelling system that is used to select grid squares for processing. It can be used for selecting contacts for an email message. This is easily done but, I have been careful not to pigeon-hole this project. This project is not only a single usage program which assembles email mailouts. The program can be used for whatever the user sees that it can do. Your imagination is all that is limiting your usage of the program.

You can use this to draw up webpages, translate them into multiple languages, and even save the sitemap.xml file and a basic index.html page

Those are two crucial components of the program. When we use web save, the message are will be assembled together with an HTML top which will use the information from the data block to substitue in for values such as the language code and the canonical tag. It will also input the Open Graph Tags in the language. For this we have to investigate for ourselves to know where to put this info it. It is a little more advanced than just sending emails, which can be done immediately without much knowledge.

I really only wrote this all out so that the search engines will have some information to find for their indexing.

I mean, why would anyone read this? Just download the program and start having some fun with it, and I hope that you find it to be useful, entertaining, and a valuable addition to your current set of software. The special thing about this program is that no person is the owner of it except for the one who downloads the program. When you download the program, it becomes your own personal property without the constraints of any agreement for its use. There are no agreements required for the download, and no agreements required for your use. This is the freest type of program.

Take the program, make it your program. Complete Freedom Is Yours.
