posts brought to you by the category “first nations”

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.

safesh

The safesh utility automatically creates one DSA key (called an identity) for each host you connect to, and stores this in a separate agent for each host. It is also capable of adding keys for other hosts to this agent, so you can use it for restricted forwarding of authentication. Because each host uses its own ssh-agent(1), the hosts you forward authentication to can only get at the authentication for the hosts you specifically say it should be able to get at.

Appears to be FreeBSD specific but it can't be that hard to port if you're in to that kind of thing.

Kate L. Pugh : OpenGuides

The OpenGuides software provides the framework for a collaboratively-written city guide. It is similar to a wiki but provides somewhat more structured data storage allowing you to annotate wiki pages with information such as category, location, and much more. It provides searching facilities including "find me everything within a certain distance of this place". Every page includes a link to a machine-readable (RDF) version of the page.

I'm still trying to decide if Karl's photograph of those horrible pink trees

in the new wing of the Palais des Congres is supposed to be an editorial comment on the Semantic Web which, like the trees, is also renowned for its artificial or lifelike environment ... update : So I finished reading the piece and wondered why there was no example to show how you were supposed to point to your semantic stylesheet. And then I realized that doing so would leave Karl's plans for world domination bare for all to see: <link rel = "semantics" type = " text/cow " href = "..." /> . Cascading Ontology for the Web, indeed!

Now that WWW::UsePerl::Journal.pm supports posting

it means that I can write a Blogger::Engine::Useperl package. The name is a bit of a misnomer because it looks like you should be able to post to any Slash-based site using the Blogger API via the UsePerl methods. I haven't had a chance to test this yet; I am just trying to finally get the next version of Blogger.pm out the door, after having talked about it for months and months. The changes are mostly internal and aimed at making it easier to write application specific handlers for Blogger.pm : MovableType can be tricked into returning all a user's posts so there is no point in honouring the parent class' internal check on the number of posts a user is trying to slurp; Manila doesn't support the getUsersBlogs method while Radio does; the blog id for a Radio site is always " home "; None of the above limit the size of a post. That sort of thing. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. It depends on how the debugging goes.

Radio Crankypants #2: I am so totally ready to believe that Radio Userland is as easy

as everyone says it is. The sheer number of Joe User's Radio Weblog listings on the weblogs.com sidebar is testimony enough of that. But it doesn't explain why I've spent the last hour and a half rebooting the computer, re-installing the program three times and downloading it twice and finally reacquainting myself with the Frontier debugger. And still, nothing . This must be some kind of a joke for having been such a sourpuss, today...

Janice Stein : The Cult of Efficiency

"These lectures are about post-industrial society in the making. There is a growing emphasis on efficiency in this era of globalization, and the language of efficiency shapes the way citizens think about their most important shared values. But hidden in the polemics about efficiency are, I believe, much more important and enduring conversations about accountability and choice in post-industrial societies. To discover how these arguments live in practice, to move beyond the fixed positions of our political warriors, I wanted to look at what we as citizens are saying about public schools and hospitals. It is here that citizens engage in the most immediate and practical ways with the arguments of our times. I think by listening to these very local debates we can explore the dilemmas of democratic processes in a global age, where waste is a sin but the public trust remains sacred. Surprisingly, I find that citizens want to see both less and more of the state. Although citizens in post-industrial society are less deferential, more distrustful of authority, and more confident of their capacity to make the important choices, the escape from the state is more apparent than real."

Damian Conway : Hook::LexWrap.pm

"allows you to install a pre- or post-wrapper (or both) around an existing subroutine. Unlike other modules that provide this capacity (e.g. Hook::PreAndPost and Hook::WrapSub), Hook::LexWrap implements wrappers in such a way that the standard caller function works correctly within the wrapped subroutine.

C'est La Vie talks to Daniel Poliquin.

"For 30 years, demographers have been debating whether francophones outside of Quebec will disappear. It's a politically charged and emotional topic. But Franco-Ontarian author, essayist and translator Daniel Poliquin is trying to humanize the debate. In fact, he says he has met an assimilated francophone who was in perfectly good health!" (real audio)
