posts brought to you by the category “never forget”

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.

Remembrance Day, 2003

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

 John McCrae
      

Four years ago, I posted a reading list on Remembrance Day. I don't remember if I considered updating the list every year but if I did I haven't been very good about it.

This is the list from 1999 :

  • The Proud Tower , Barbara Tuchman
  • Johnny Got His Gun , Dalton Trumbo
  • The Underpainter , Jane Urquhart
  • The Third Republic , William Shirer
  • Berlin Stories , Christopher Isherwood

Here is a list for 2003:

Maciej offered the following:

  • Voyage au bout de la nuit , Celine
  • The Magic Mountain , Thomas Mann
  • All Quiet on the Western Front , Erich Maria Remarque
  • The Good Solider Schweik , Jaroslav Hasek

David Tilley sent along these suggestions:

  • Her Privates We , Frederick Manning is around and reprinted every now and again. It is the one of the best at conjuring the feeling of the thing.
  • The Broken Years , Bill Gammage is a heartbreaking Australian account, mostly based on letters.
  • Up the Line to Death , Brian Gardner remains one of the best poetry collections.
  • Winged Victory , W.V.M. Yeats is cumulatively extraordinary. There's a heap of undergraduate philosophy which you can skim - but it has a hypnotic fascination once you realise this is how people thought their way through and to their own destruction.. Cumulatively it paints a picture of anomic horror that is unsurpassed.
  • Goodbye to All That , Robert Graves is important. So is Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man by Siegfried Sassoon.

I would also recommend both Joseph Heller's Catch-22 and William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich but not today.

I will try to find suitable links for the books throughout the day. It's easy enough to find them at one of the big online booksellers, but I'd recommend stopping by your local library instead.

If you've got a good link for one of the books mentioned or have suggestions of your own, please let me know .

The story began with a network security guy,

hired to lock down an 802.11 network in an office that spanned seven floors.
The first step was to secure the actual network which involved firewalls, VPNs, complicated rules at the router level and, if it had kept going, more stuff that would have made me fall asleep faster than I already was. The second problem, however, was what to do about people bringing in their own wireless hubs and just plugging them in to the network. The solution? The company bought seven Aibo's, each equipped with 802.11 cards, that were left to wander around the offices. Whenever they got within range of an errant wireless hub they were programmed to sit down and start barking.

William Safire on the intersection between weblogs and the TIA

Rather, I have in mind the brief notation of the day's highlight, the amusing encounter or useful insight that will someday evoke a memory of yourself when young. Such a journal entry perhaps an e-mail to your encoded personal file can now be supplemented by scanned-in articles, poems or pictures to create a "commonplace book." You will then have a private memory-jogger and resource for reminiscence at family gatherings.

Years from now, assuming we're all still alive,

someone will note that the U.N. report on Iraqi weapons, widely believed to be the trigger for an invasion by the United Stat...I mean, the "Coalition of the Willing" , was released on the day after the Super Bowl and wonder if that was just a coincidence.

One reason it's been so quiet around here

is that I've been working a package for generating slideshows / galleries that do the right thing from a directory of nothing but image files. The package uses XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2XHTML and Image::Shoehorn to scale all the images per configuration data (e.g. thumb=>"75x50",small=>"25%" ) and generate all the necessary static HTML files, complete with next|prev links that know which size of the image you're looking at and links to the other scaled versions of the image. The design is purposefully simple since eventually the idea is to have the internals use XML::SAX::Machines so that you can filter the output of individual files to your hearts content. First though, I'd like to add support for XML::Filter::Sort on the front-end. Anyway, all the meta-data for an image is read from IPTC and EXIF tags. The former can be edited in Photoshop and the latter are written automagically by many cameras. Sadly, the Gimp supports neither and only allows for comments not exceeding 512 characters in length. Karl threatened to put together some sort of hairy, scary document based on the many emails we exchanged on the subject but I guess he has been busy enjoying the summer, and rightly so. Oh yeah, and the interface?



use Gallery;



Gallery->create(directory=>"/htdocs/images",



                url=>"mysite.com/images",



                static=>1, # Don't use Apache::Image::Shoehorn



                scales=>[ ["thumb","x50"],["small","25%"] ],



                );

As I write this, I am listening to Desmond Tutu being interviewed

and answering questions about the elections in Zimbabwe. A listener called in and asked what Americans, given their general tunnel-vision and a growing apathy with the state of affairs, could take away from other nations experience of democracy . You could hear Bishop Tutu giggling all the while the caller spoke. When he finally replied, he paused and said : Well, if I were to be truly facetious I would suggest that you learn how to count. He then continued with a serious and considered answer.

Richard L. Chase : Simmer Stock

"is meant to be a collection place for ideas and recipies for all the dinners I've thought of and cooked over the years, and all the tips, tricks and resources I've managed to gather. I'm nudged frequently by family, friends and colleagues to write down recipies for the stuff I cook. Of course, recipies are actually for whimps - I haven't really used recipies (other than as sources for ideas) in years. But there is a lot of knowledge of cooking - techniques, ingredients, tools and meals - sitting in my head that I could and should, as I would say in my real-world job, store in some sort of repository."

I take it back. I'm really not sure why they let Dubya speak in public, at all.

Frankly, if I were a hawk I would be a little freaked out right now. How much confidence can a person take in the fact that the full might of the U.S. military is under the command of someone who doesn't appear able to process two simultaneous (never mind conflicting) thoughts?
