posts brought to you by the category “shit disturbers”

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 am (mercifully) not a hardcore email-systems weenie

but I find it hard to believe that this imaginary company is really going to be able to break even, never mind make a profit, charging a single penny per message. It adds up, sure, but the other side of the equation is that you've got to pay for a lot of hardware to handle the traffic, the resources necessary not only to validate a message but also to either sign the ones that are good or store the ones that aren't. (This is the part where the lawyers start thinking about cases where your magic SMTP company manages to flag an important correspondence as bad whereupon it gets sucked into the vortex. Heaven help us when we teach computers to think like lawyers...) Even if you only store errant messages for, say, no more than a week, that's a huge amount of disk space. Mulitplied by two, three or four depending on your backup strategy. On top of all of that, your bandwidth charges -- no matter how sweet a deal you cut with a backbone operator -- are going to make someone else very very rich. And were that already not enough, you will have to pay some very real salaries to the sysadmins that have to watch the whole thing because it will quickly become every one's favourite target for hacking or just otherwise poking. It also becomes a single (or more single) point of failure, a probably uninsurable liability, a thorn in the side of every accounting department for any business that does stuff online (you don't seriously expect them to absorb that cost or the cost of massaging their email systems, do you?) and an opportunity for someone to engage in the kinds of data-mining that no one wants. It would already be a tough sell to consumers at one cent a message. It would be dead in the water at anything more.

To build JDK 1.4.1 port, you should have at least 1.5Gb of free disk space in build area!

All this because the only decent XSL-FO processor is written in Java. Meanwhile, I misread this post and was left wondering what rock I'd been living under that I didn't know Black Flag had covered Institutionalized . Oh well, you can always dream...

Duncan McGreggor : xCal CGI Calendaring Application

I developed this for PBS as a quick way to display local station events. This app uses the iCal standard, but in an XML format (xCal) with a MySQL and perl backend. You can import xCal events from an .xsc file to MySQL. Uses XML/XSL/XSLT.

Simon Schama : "The conduct of Americans at dinner said it all."

They wolfed down their food, cramming corn bread into their sloppy maws during meals that were devoured in silence, punctuated only by slurps, grunts, scraping knives, and hacking coughs. (All those cigars.) At the Plate House, in the business district of New York, the naval captain and travel writer Basil Hall was astonished by the speed at which the corned beef arrived and then by the even greater speed at which it was demolished: We were not in the house above twenty minutes, but we sat out two sets of company at least. Only the boy waiters yelling orders at the kitchen broke the quiet. The lack of polite conversation suggested the melancholy and dispiriting monotony of American life, on which almost all the early reporters commented. Tocqueville explained the apparent paradox of anxiety amid prosperity as the result of the relentless obligation to be forever Up and Doing.

To be fair it's not quite so bad anymore, except on bad days when it's worse.

Maybe someone will write a WSDL file for the Blogger API, now.

That's all you'll hear from me on the subject until I figure out how to combine Net::Google and Net::Blogger and create that weird little monster from the pkd short story; the one where the guy invents a machine to "preserve" all the world's classical music as living creatures that can mate and reproduce. It ends as an experiment in Darwinianism gone bad, with the Beethoven thingy killing all the other pieces of music. Then I will pass it off as Art and my work will be done.

"[W]e will try to understand the social base of each licenses and thier underlying philosophies, as well as introduce the concept of the metric for license complexity and discuss the role of the process of interpretation of GPL as an important social process in free/open developers community. We will view both licenses not as binding legal documents, but more like "social contracts" that presuppose certain political philosophy behind them and encompass people that belong to a certain social stratum. That brings us to the concept of programming intelligentsia from which we will start our exploration of this topic."

The dictified dictionary.com word of the day is : firmament

Firmament from the Vulgate firmamentum, which is used as the translation of the Hebrew _raki'a_. This word means simply "expansion." It denotes the space or expanse like an arch appearing immediately above us. They who rendered _raki'a_ by firmamentum regarded it as a solid body. The language of Scripture is not scientific but popular, and hence we read of the sun rising and setting, and also here the use of this particular word. It is plain that it was used to denote solidity as well as expansion. It formed a division between the waters above and the waters below (Gen. 1:7). The _raki'a_ supported the upper reservoir (Ps. 148:4). It was the support also of the heavenly bodies (Gen. 1:14), and is spoken of as having "windows" and "doors" (Gen. 7:11; Isa. 24:18; Mal. 3:10) through which the rain and snow might descend. easton
Firmament \Fir"ma*ment\, n. [L. firmamentum, fr. firmare to make firm: cf. F. firmament. See {Firm}, v. & a.] 1. Fixed foundation; established basis. [Obs.] Custom is the . . . firmament of the law. --Jer. Taylor. 2. The region of the air; the sky or heavens. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. --Gen. i. 6. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament. --Gen. i. 14. Note: In Scripture, the word denotes an expanse, a wide extent; the great arch or expanse over out heads, in which are placed the atmosphere and the clouds, and in which the stars appear to be placed, and are really seen. 3. (Old Astron.) The orb of the fixed stars; the most rmote of the celestial spheres. web1913
firmament n : the apparent surface of the imaginary sphere on which celestial bodies appear to be projected [syn: {celestial sphere}, {sphere}, {empyrean}, {heavens}, {vault of heaven}, {welkin}] wn

N.Y. Times : Yes, It's Real: The Magic of Christmas in Montreal

I'm not even sure why I am giving this article the time of day. It contains almost every dumb-ass device used, commonly by Americans, to describe Montreal and Quebec. First of all, if you come to visit, I can assure you that you will not be deep in the France of Canada . You will be in Quebec. Yes, the province still shares strong ties with France but it's been 242 years since the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. And frankly, if you ask some people here they'll tell you that Quebec is doing a better job safe-guarding the French language than their counterparts across the pond who are seen to be embracing every single americanisme they can get their hands on. It's not an argument I've been able to whole-heartedly embrace, yet, but there you go. Secondly, Montreal is not an Anglophone's paradise . That's called courtesy and you would do well not to abuse it. This is Quebec and people speak French, here. Just grow up and deal with it. Thirdly, I'm happy for the author that she had service is as upbeat as the room but it was an exception. Why do Americans like for their dining experiences to follow the same rules that govern industrial manufacturing? You can pretty much be guaranteed to get good, but relaxed, service here. Don't worry; you'll learn to appreciate it in time. Fourth, Toqué! sucks. Le Passe-Partout doesn't. L'Expresse has gerkins. Finally, I have no idea what Tourtières are not French by way of France, but they have just as powerful a pull on Montreal. is supposed to mean. See point number one, I guess.

Richard Martineau : "Suffit-il de posséder un passeport et un crayon pour être journaliste?

Si oui, on ouvre la profession à tous les casse-cou férus d'aventure. Les fils à papa blasés qui courent les pays en guerre pour s'amuser, les crackpots suicidaires qui trompent leur ennui en se jetant dans la gueule du loup, les dilettantes à la recherche de gloire instantanée... Par ailleurs, si on ferme les écoutilles de la profession à double tour et que l'on ne réserve l'appellation de journaliste qu'à une caste accréditée, on risque d'étouffer... Ken Hetchman était programmeur informatique. Mais le lendemain des attaques du 11 septembre, il a décidé de sauter dans un avion et de se rendre en Afghanistan afin d'écrire sur la situation. Mérite-t-il l'appellation de journaliste?"
