Interview With UIzard Creator Ryu Sunt-tae 73
volume4 writes "A couple of days ago, the folks over at Ajaxian introduced the world to UIzard, an awesome creation by a Korean developer using YUI. There is actually a heck of a lot more about it, and the excitement about the app caused the UIzard website to go down. Most people could not interact with the app or learn more. A day or so later, the website was back but I could still not access the app. I went on a search to find the creator of UIzard to learn more about it, and finally, through Jinho.Jung on Flickr, I got ahold of his email address and hooked up with Ryu Sunt-tae to learn more."

I am 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% sure that his name is supposed to be typed as Ryu Sung-tae (Sung, not Sunt; there is not in my studies of Korean some such name, given, or family...). Besides, g and t on the US / Latin keyboard are adjacent, and all the more this seems to be a typo. If it was a phone interview, with the interviewer making corrections, it's then even possible that his name is Seung, not Sung, as in the director http://www.koreanfilm.org/films2008.html [koreanfilm.org] Ryu Seung-jin.
Unfortunately, it appears the opensource site seems to have it wrong. But, *i* could be wrong, so maybe you can e-mail him and ask him if his name is actually misspelled on the site.
For those not aware, the "WI" as in wizard or whiskey in the US/English speakign areas is written in Korean charactes that look in English like "oi", but pronounced making for it to look like "uh-wee-zard". So, it's neat/nifty a spin to have UI and Wi merged for UIzard, instead of just using Wizard....
Just my two cents...

I mean, would it fucking kill you to make YUI [yahoo.com] a hyper-link in the summary?

And so it was said...
UIzard(User Interface Wizard) is a tool that helps users create UIâ(TM)s easily. Basically, the user can create UI pages based on YUI, and develop an application by writing the functionality according to specific events(click or drag) for each UI object. (like in Visual Studio or XCode...) The result is generated on the basis of HTML and JS. Uizardâ(TM)s goal is to be a general web-based development tool like Google Docs or Spreadsheet, the web-based office tool. However, it's just a beta-version at the experimentation stage, so I hope to keep your interest and look forward to its future.

Logical error, your conclusion is not valid. It does not follow that Slashdot editors are people just because they are stupid.
A valid conclusion could be made with the following statement: People are stupid > Slashdot editors are people > Slashdot editors are stupid.
The reverse of that (which was not stated and so cannot be assumed) would be: Those who are stupid are people > Slashdot editors are stupid > Slashdot editors are people.
You cannot conclude anything from People are stupid > Slashdot editors are stupid. There is not enough information to make a valid conclusion about Slashdot editors beyond that they are stupid. It is nothing more than a correlation.
You could "fix" the problem by adding the word "only" to the premis, as follows: Only people are stupid > Slashdot editors are stupid > Slashdot editors are people.
That would be valid, but it also requires you to change the premis slightly to make it so.
Cheers!
BTW, can I call myself a Logic Nazi?
