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.
Friday June 13 2003 Montreal The other day I finished importing five years of email into a database so I could do full text searches on it. Because I have a potty-mouth, I discovered that out of a possible 32, 000 messages fewer than 400 contain both the words "fuck" and "shit". <snip /> Part of my struggle ... was trying to remember how to set the auto-increment counter for a field in one of the database tables. Would that I were able to find what I needed in the docs, but I knew that the answer was buried somewhere in an old email message. So I typed... $> findmail -date 2002 -term '(auto increment)' ...and, lo, there it was! Some day, I'll make paintings about all this crap. You'll see...
asc says: "By examining the psychodynamic effects on human cognition of the adoption of the technology of writing we can logically assess and contextualize the potential effect of the massification of networked information systems on our day-to-day thought processes. The identification of congruent, parallel and differential affect between writing and network technologies demands that their development be considered above and beyond the dictates and imperatives of consumer capitalism, it demands that the Internet be thought of in terms of public infrastructure rather than saleable capital." asc says: Dude, where's my car? bendoh says: did a lawyer write that? bendoh says: He should have put a smiley face at the end of that. It would've made it all better. asc says: Academic. asc says: Lawyers would almost certainly argue in favour of saleable captial because then it would subject to all kinds of litigation. bendoh says: I would not want to read that paper. It would make my head fall off and subsequently explode. asc says: That would be a symptom of massification and the differential aspect of the network. bendoh says: If I could think of anything remotely witty to respond to that with, I would say it. asc says: Dude, where's my car? bendoh says: hehe

ex. God, that table has all the cute guys. Let’s go over there and talk about white water rafting. Ramona, you make the appropriate noises. When they experience the waterfall effect, we’ll steal the boys.
1.Any movie in which, no matter how important the man's job (stopping an assasination, saving the universe, generally preserving life), his wife does nothing but gripe about how it's breaking the family up and that he missed little Jimmy's birthday again. 2. The act of a movie woman griping in this way.
ex. Sissy Spacek did nothing but grimble all the way through the movie _JFK_.

Meanwhile, did you ever think you'd live to see a member of the CRAP party say : "[ The House is] exactly the sort of programming the publicly funded broadcaster should be doing." ?For 18 months I lived on Martha's Vineyard and pined for the CBC, every day feeling grateful for the advent of Internet radio.
Eventually, I moved back to Montreal and life was good. I remember hearing the announcement that Dick Gordon was leaving the CBC to assume hosting duties at The Connection and thinking it was "our" loss.
[Even] before his departure, Sheilagh Rogers had taken over the flagship morning show, on Radio One. Long story short, I simply can't stand to listen to her. My only solace has been to write increasingly venomous letters whenever she and the production staff fall prey to a pique of especially sugary and empathetic nonsense. Not a happy situation any way you look at it.
But over Thanksgiving, driving down to the Island, we were stuck in traffic on Storrow Drive and I was fiddling with the radio dial and I heard Dick Gordon interviewing Alastair McCloud.
And once again, every day I am grateful for the advent of Internet radio.
You guys rock. You have no idea how happy it makes me to find an intelligent radio program, broadcast daily, with a serious host and interesting guests.
And for someone who moved back to Montreal partly because it is, seemingly, the only place to find a decent baguette on the whole continent [an entire] hour devoted to bread is like manna from heaven.

. The form gets sent to...I didn't think to check. Eventually, it ends
up n the UserLand servers but I don't know whether it's routed through
the desktop application and sent out as an XML-RPC request first. Then
the mothership sends back an usernumber which is used to trigger the
instantiation of
user.radio.prefs
table. I wonder what would happen if I just exported the table out of
one copy of Radio and in to another. Could it do syncing and keep track
of who was on first in tandem? What about file locking? Anyway, if the
application can't start the initial server it just sits there and the
only feedback you get is
Installing tools...
When it "just worked" this morning, I thought maybe there had been a
timeout problem because the mothership was being hammered, after the
release, but it's the
same
old thing
this morning.
Whoa.
