Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.

Montréal 2003, a city where to be a dépanneur

means to re-invent yourself as a fruiterie . These are not the Amélie Poulin moments you are looking for. The results, so far, have been mixed.

From the "Oui Are All in the Same Boat" department :

But then Canada would become a donut-shaped country.

Well, given the popularity of Tim Horton's it's only a matter of time.

The problem with Ontario, never mind the nascent sea-faring nation of Alberta ( note: I was born in the former and spent five childhood years in the latter while my mother did her Master's; I have developed, it's true, a somewhat irrational dislike of both ), talking trash and threatening to leave Confederation is the rest of the country would probably show up to help them pack.

I'll slideshow you mine.

Started rendering IPTC and EXIF data and mucking with the CSS. I might actually release the code soon - it's hard to tell. I'd like to figure out what I need to do to get XML::Filter::XSLT ( which is already being subclassed ) to read from a filehandle instead of a static file. That way the XSLT stylesheet used to generate individual files from the index could simply ship as the __DATA__ block of the package itself. That may have to wait. I don't even try to remember what remains to do. I just try to leave comments scattered throughout the code, but sometimes that isn't much help either. I once mapped out an issue of a comic book I was working on and simply wrote the bunnies the bunnies for two entire pages. To this day, I have no idea what I was thinking about...

Me : Image::Shoehorn.pm

I mention this in passing since it was released while I was "away". It is the polished version of the Apache::ImageViewer package mentioned in an earlier post about slideshows. I am slowly working my way through the rest of the project. First, there is a XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2::Base package which might get finished over the weekend. Then there is XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2XHTML which is more interesting than plain vanilla XSLT because it allows users to define event-based handler and callback widgets first introduced in XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2RSS and now part of the Base.pm library. Unlike the original train of thought, which imagined modifying the XHTML DTD to allow for "inline" meta tags on a per-image basis, I am thinking of simply wrapping stuff in &ltdiv class = "meta"> tags and setting their display value to "none" via CSS. The problem with this approach is that it does't fail very gracefully in text browsers of Netscape 4. Maybe I will just write another SAX filter...

Radio Crankypants #1: Let it never be said that I have a problem with aggregating data.

But I've been watching the growth of Radio Userland weblogs with their handy-dandy blog yer newsfeeds feature and I don't like what I'm seeing. It seems sort of unfair to "beat up" on Userland on what looks to be their big shipping day but it is important to make the distinction that this is not an issue with the technology, per se, but with the way people are using it. (Yeah yeah, don't say it. The medium is the message. I know; I'm from Canada.) Not to make too fine a point of it: too many of the Radio weblogs I see are just plain boring. Boring not because the people running them are boring but because the constant recycling of rss feed data just reeks of laziness and group-think. It's the same thing, website after website without so much as a peep of personal reaction. The only thing that seems to change is the position of the post on a given webpage. Again, it is important to recognize that this is not a new thing . However, the technology at hand -- when you stop and step away from the whiz-banginess of it all -- seems poised to only exacerbate the problem. Which is too bad.

Some thoughts on the "imagination proposition" :

Now, I think I understand the sentiment in the original and the subsequent commentary but I would just like to point out that this is hardly a new idea. It is a dressing up of several old ones, including : navel-gazing, selfish-ness, short-sightedness and lifestyle porn. How do you think advertising works? Don't beleive the hype .

Bill Nichols : Digital Libraries in the Large

"Federation solves two problems — providing a common access method to different databases of similar data, and providing transparent access to very large distributed databases that would not be practical to concentrate in one location. Federation creates a multilayer interface between the Internet and each DB, with common high-level services and custom low-level access to each different DB. Thus all of the code can be shared except the detailed access code for each DB."

"RTF is a nearly ubiquitous text formatting language devised by Microsoft. Microsoft's Rich Text Format Specification is widely available, but it's usable mainly just as a reference for the language's entire command set. This short document, however, is meant as a quick reference and overview. It is meant for people interested in writing programs that generate a minimal subset of RTF."

"The CPAN is Perl's killer-app."

So said Nat Torkington during the Lightning Talks at YAPC; I wasn't in the room. It's the one thing that all the other languages want and, for the life of me, can't seem to figure out. Take for example, PEAR which is an acronym for something that translates as the CPAN for PHP. I wouldn't count myself as a PHP god but I am no stranger to the language either. I have yet to be able to suss out what the hell PEAR is and, more importantly, how to use it. Sure, it usually helps to be root if you want to use the CPAN for installs but, at the very least, it's nothing more than a giant, searchable list, organized by topic, with pointers to README files and tarballs. If I want to use the File::Find::maptree PHP function, I can only guess that I have to recompile the whole of mod_php itself. Well, duh... There are times in life -- I know you're not going to want to hear this -- when you don't have root and the powers that be aren't interested in hearing what you have to say. I am willing to admit that I'm missing something here, but is PEAR a package unto itself or just a framework for distributing thrid-party functionality? I thought the whole point was to set up a system that would build on itself and make small steps towards preventing people from reinventing the wheel (in theory atleast.) What's the point in creating a generalized archive if I have install everything in it? Why can't I just go to the PEAR site and grab that which I need? Where the hell are the fucking files?! Anyway, the best line from YAPC : All your Damian are belong to us.

The Pseudodictionary, Dict-ified

I was so smitten with the Pseudodictionary , the first time I saw it, that I fired off an email to the creators asking if there was a master data-file I could use to build a database to be read by a Dict server . I don't run a public server so I've posted the database and index files as a tarball. I will leave setting up and running a dictd server as an exercise to the reader. Because the pseudodictionary contains both words and phrases, it's not a perfect fit for dict. Results for phrases are sometimes returned as entries for each word or simply aren't discovered. I'm not very fluent in the ways of the dict server so if I'm missing something here, please let me know . On the other hand, if the Jargon File suffers from the same problem, for phrases like "hack value", I figure I can live with it too. For my next trick, I'm going to sleep. Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking ...
