posts brought to you by the category “sociology”

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.

Can someone explain what possible good a tank will serve at an airport?

I've been wondering about this ever since I first heard the news. Apparently, the concern involves persons with surface-to-air missiles which is an unpleasant thought but it sort of begs the question. Are they going to fire tank shells at individuals running around with shoulder mounted missiles? Can a tank, or an "armoured vehicle" depending on the news reports, really withstand being hit by one of theses missile at short range? I am many things, but a scholar of military weaponary am I not so perhaps I am missing something. But this looks a whole lot like window dressing to me and if the concern is real I just hope there is more going on beneath the surface.

Amphetathoughts #2 : It will be a cold day in Hell before it ships with XML::LibXML

but maybe, just maybe, it will someday ship using XML::SAX-iness for doing the heavy lifting. Which is all really just another way of saying "Oh god, please make all this OPML stuff go away!" OPML is fine for simple things but it just plain sucks rocks to read or write by hand and it uses this weird-ass, easy-like-AppleScript, way of including and processing remote documents. It's not like it would actually be hard to write a Perl thingy for munging "instant outlines" but why would I want to when everything else has support for XInclude? And maybe I only want to include feeds on your blogroll that start with the letter "B". At this point, two things should probably be pointed out: 1) I have already written the code to process instant OPML files and 2) I have even written an alternative to OPML which suffers its very own set of problems and probably shouldn't be used for anything serious either.

Ed Hawco : Montréal has a few mythical bus lines

erhaps someone should write an essay about the 29 as a failed bridge of the two solitudes, going back and forth, empty and ghost-like, between The Main ... and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

My first apartment was right in front of Parc Lafontaine, the main drag that the 29 runs. I lived there for 3-4 months, during which time all manner of bad things happened including long long walks to the Main to go grocery shopping. (This was before Mont-Royal became an actual nice place to go and was still an ugly, skanky street that you couldn't walk down without atleast one crazy screaming in your face. There were no little fruiteries; just a sea of depanneurs and a pizza pizza where we ate too many pizza pockets during the first two weeks while we waited for appliances to arrive. I can count the number of times I saw the 29, during those months, on one hand.

John Pike : "Better bombing through chemistry.

... When you look at the original story of the [Canadian] friendly-fire incident it seems that the pilot was being inexplicably aggressive. It goes beyond fatigue or lack of experience or [being a] cowboy or trigger happy or any of the standard prosaic explanations. The simplest explanation is that the guy had eaten too much speed and was paranoid."

Me : Image::Shoehorn.pm

I mention this in passing since it was released while I was "away". It is the polished version of the Apache::ImageViewer package mentioned in an earlier post about slideshows. I am slowly working my way through the rest of the project. First, there is a XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2::Base package which might get finished over the weekend. Then there is XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2XHTML which is more interesting than plain vanilla XSLT because it allows users to define event-based handler and callback widgets first introduced in XML::Filter::XML_Directory_2RSS and now part of the Base.pm library. Unlike the original train of thought, which imagined modifying the XHTML DTD to allow for "inline" meta tags on a per-image basis, I am thinking of simply wrapping stuff in &ltdiv class = "meta"> tags and setting their display value to "none" via CSS. The problem with this approach is that it does't fail very gracefully in text browsers of Netscape 4. Maybe I will just write another SAX filter...

If I were a conceptual artist

I would have set up a video camera to the right of the door at open da night and filmed people as they came in walked to the corner of the bar. I would capture the moment of realization and the slow turning of the head as each realized that the line actually started three feet back, so as not to block the game on television, and actually stretched all the back to the pool table . But I am not a conceptual artist. So much so that one of my tiny moments of joy was meeting Kelly Mark in the cafeteria at NSCAD and ripping on Damian Hirst.

Radio Crankypants 18-19 : Not Invented Here

18) That's unfair, really. The Frontier tcp verbs were around long before Apple released their URL Access Manager/Scripting widget. But the Apple widget has done HTTPS for almost three years now; somewhere in the Windows API there is support for HTTPS; still the Frontier kernel still does everything with plain old HTTP. Frontier/Radio, however, does talk AppleScript , which is a mixed blessing if I've ever heard one. Now that Perl ships with OS X I'm even less sure why I would want to :
try

with timeout of

 before I punch my computer 



     
try with

 "easy to use English syntax" 
to

tell

 application "AppleScript"



           
to

 do fucking anything!!!



        
end tell

end try

end timeout

end try
But hey, if you can deal with it, it does mean you should be able to do secure XML over HTTP on a Mac. I can't honestly remember the details of passing and returning data between Frontier/Radio and AppleScript, right now, but I know it's possible because I used to call the askPassword OSAX in Frontier 5. I have reached that punch my computer stage in this investigation so I have to stop now but it should all be possible with three scripts : one UserTalk, two AppleScript. The first would take your parameters and figure out whether you were running Classic or OS X. If Classic, then hand off to an AppleScript that calls the Late Night Software widget (you could also do this by hand...if you're insane) otherwise use the built-in methods available under OS X. 19) Why are there no verbs for creating XML-RPC or SOAP messages divorced from those that make the actual HTTP requests?

Movable Thoughts #14

Probably the single most requested feature from the Blogger API is the ability to slurp all the posts in one swell foop. If I am reading the MT Blogger code correctly, MT will do this when you call the getRecentPosts method without a num argument. If no limit is specified then &MT::ObjectDriver::DBM::load_iter will return all the ids for a blog. &load_iter calls &_get_ids which returns ids based on the following test...



  # This test will fail because although there are args, the



  # args->{'limit'} test will return false since only the 



  # value of the key[1] is being tested and not the key's



  # definedness itself



  # 



  # [1] http://tlc.perlarchive.com/articles/perl/ug0002.shtml 







  if ($args && $args->{limit}) {    ## Lookup with limit



    @ids = $driver->_get_ids_limit($DB, $db, $class, $terms, $args);



  }

Me : What has Aaron been thinking about, recently?

Over lunch, I spent a little time and expanded on yesterday's categories as rss framework . Now, you can view the aforementioned RSS file rendered as XHTML. The URL scheme is as follows : http://aaronland .info /weblog/category/(NAME|ID)/recent . So far, formatting consists of a slightly modified version of Eric van der Vlist's 10-to-xhtml.xsl stylesheet. This is unlikely to change in the near-term and is part of larger aaronland migration issues that have dragging around for most of last year. Alas.

Me : Magic Aaronland Categories SOAP Interface

This has been a long time coming and still very much subject to change, as I work out the inevitable bugs. But since the rest of the world seems to be jumping on the categories bandwagon, I thought people might enjoy using mine . Eventually there will be other methods and an XMLRPC interface, but for now I'm more interested in eating dinner.



  print join("\n",@{SOAP::Lite->new()



                    ->proxy("http://aaronland.info/soap")



                    ->uri("/Weblog")



                    ->categories()



                    ->result()

Søren Roug proposes an event module for RSS 1.0

"Imagine, that you have a calendar on your website. Imagine then that this calendar can be set up to automatically grab announcements of events from the O'Reilly events website - letting know when the next Perl/Open Source conference is - or the next IRC chat with Tim - or the release schedule for a new book. This is what the event module will provide."

Jeffery M. Griffith : newsic.py

"is a program that creates a streaming gateway to the alt.binaries newsgroups. ... The biggest advantage is a newsic server is offering songs that aren't stored on a local filesystem. This means there is no need to worry about diskspace and the music selection couldn't be better =) If you wanted to listen to hiphop but you had no idea what was new, you could just stream random songs from alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.rap-hiphop skipping the ones that didn't suit your taste.

Dennis E. Hamilton : Software Engineering for Everyone

"Nowadays I incorporate documentation as an inseparable part of the design of programs. Assuring that a program is explicable is my primary test for conceptual economy of the software itself. Even when I am not building software for anyone else to use, I preserve the hard-won habit of documenting what I am doing as if it is intended for others to be able to use without having written it themselves. Truthfully, I don't ever think otherwise, because that someone else is often my forgetful future self."

"Peer-to-Peer Journalism is supposed to be a platform

We hope that in the future sophisticated tools will exist to automate this process, but right now, collaboration often fails because of lack of communication." Huh?! I hope that in the future sophisticated tools will exist to write a coherent description of what, exactly, peer-to-peer journalism is supposed to mean. Right now, it sounds too much like those old Peanuts cartoons where everyone had a pair of hi-fi shoes or a hi-fi umbrella... via camworld

Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson

"[T]he Court concludes that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anticompetitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web browser market, both in violation of § 2. Microsoft also violated § 1 of the Sherman Act by unlawfully tying its Web browser to its operating system. The facts found do not support the conclusion, however, that the effect of Microsoft's marketing arrangements with other companies constituted unlawful exclusive dealing under criteria established by leading decisions under § 1."

Lewis MacKenzie : It's not enough to say you're sorry

"I raise this somewhat embarrassing UN shortcoming to temper the understandable expectation that we learn from our mistakes, a theme repeated much too often in both the Srebrenica and Rwandan reports. These two disasters for the UN were not mistakes. They unfolded as the result of calculated decisions by the Security Council not to get involved in sorting out someone else's problems, where there was no identifiable shared national self-interests within the permanent five members, or where the risk of casualties was considered too high. These same types of situations will happen again and again, so we might as well get used to the guilt that accompanies our chronically inadequate response."
