posts brought to you by the category “painting”

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.

I used to think that there was no fashion faux-pas worse than the pant-skirt.

But then, on my way about town yesterday, my senses were assaulted by some guy,
doing his best I'm walking in slow motion so you can better appreciate the fluttering of my unbuttoned pirate-shirt imitation, decked out in a matching pin-striped kilt-pant outfit. I had to look away. Meanwhile, can someone please explain where this Pat Benetar meme started and tell me when it will end? I wish it weren't true but I recently had the pleasure of watching as people I respect, and care for, reminisced fondly about and then practiced their whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh shoulder swags. So wrong. Just so oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh-whoa wrong.

Does anyone want to port this 'zooming photo album generator' to use SVG

instead of Flash for me? I'd like to do it myself because it would be a good learning exercise. But now that I have a working oven and can bake bread again there is no extra time. Actually, there was no extra time anyway but I'm just excited to be able to bake again and bread will, and should, always take precedence over spinning googaws.

Ron Hill : Astro::Sunrise.pm

Back in the days of the long-since forgotten randomcam, someone ( Jorn , I think) wanted to set things up such that you could have a webcam with the sun rising on the left and the sun setting on left. I suppose those should be reversed but anyway, it seems like this package combined with WWW::Gazetteer ought to make it easy enough to implement.

Dubya on not eating the broccoli:

I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation.

Just in case you had any doubts. You crazy fuckers, you.

Michael Schilli : Google-Hupf

Wie in[3] schon einmal im Linux-Magazin erörtert, schreiben sich SOAP-Anfragen in Perl ganz einfach mit Pavel Kulchenkos »SOAP::Lite«-Modul. Aber es geht sogar noch billiger: Mit »Net:: Google« liegt von Aaron Straup Cope eine schöne objektorientierte Abstraktion des Google-Webservice vor, die unter der Haube freilich SOAP::Lite nutzt.

Sigi Moeslinger : "Since cities are so strange and dense and anonymous,

you are driven to surround yourself with things that have personality. Things become like pets." I often wonder how to reconcile my appreciation for many of these 'things' with the drivel spouted by the people who either produce or champion them. Oh yeah, the street finds it's own use for things .

"is an implementation of the "Topicmaps.net's Processing Model for XTM" by Steven R. Newcomb and Michel Biezunski, referred to as PMTM4. It is a toolkit that provides the major building blocks to assemble topic map applications of various kinds such as command line tools, CGI applications, web browser plug-ins, and large-scale editing and processing applications."

Jon Udell : The Event -Driven Internet

"If you and I happen to be monitoring that topic in our browsers, the paragraph element will change interactively. But nothing says that the parties interested in that topic are always, or only, people running browsers. Of more general interest is the notion of a computing fabric in which processes subscribe to events, are notified of changes, and then take appropriate actions."

Ameni Rozsa : "Radio was made for the lonely,

the displaced and the out of touch. Its sound is our guardian angel, ubiquitous but unassuming. We move about our business while radio patiently follows. Its persistence soothes even our most sudden and sharp-edged isolations, softens the spaces between our souls and the ever-distant walls. In these ways, radio is forgiving, and the lonely are in need of forgiveness." Tangetially related, since the link is to a story about The National Story Project , I saw Paul Auster speak from his home in Brooklyn in the days that followed September 11. He was being interviewed by the television arm of Radio Canada and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he speaks excellent French. It was just one of those tiny moments that you cling to when it feels like everything else sucks...

Dave Cross : Tie::Hash::Cannabinol.pm

"is a completely useless demostration of how to use Tie::StdHash to pervert the behaviour of Perl hashes. Once a hash has been tied to Tie::Hash::Cannabinol, there is a 25% chance that it will forget anything that you tell it immediately and a further 25% chance that it won't be able to retrieve any information you ask it for. Any information that it does return will be pulled at random from it's keys."
