posts brought to you by the category “windows”

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.

It should be noted that we were almost called Borelia

(as in the North Wind to compliment the Southern one in Australia (ah, Empire...)) but for Queen Victoria's dislike of the name.

Not to piss too hard on the revisionist parade surrounding GreyMatter today,

but the program sucked as many rocks back then as it still does now. I was pleased to see that Noah has released the code under a Creative Commons license because the initial terms were partly responsible for my not being very interested in submitting fixes and hacks. So, I downloaded the latest tarball and, lo, nothing much has changed. File and directories are both still world writable, passwords are passed around, clear-text in <hidden> fields and the CGI.pm wheel continues to be re-invented which is either the mark of folly, idiocy or both. And it's got to be some of the ugliest code you'll ever see in your life. see also : [Most] third-party weblog setups are fuct from the start (you'll have to scroll down a ways)

From the "But, designers *want* you to judge a book by its cover" Department :

When I see this book cover, I am awash in a sea of conflicting emotions. First come the dirty dirty thoughts; what are all those hands doing, precisely? Then my eyes start to hurt from looking at all that squiggly stuff. Are those supposed to be like the nest of cables that live behind your computer or...or...no, no, not the dirty thoughts again! Then there is the feeling I get, when I follow the curve of letter 'C' in the book's title, that is strangely like the one I get when I'm about to dry heave. Eventually, I get it together and decide to try and bring a professional, critical eye to the book cover's design. And I'm left feeling nothing but annoyed at such a juvenile and poorly executed concept. Keep yer glowing fists away from *my* website, buddy!

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."

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

Temerity \Te*mer"i*ty\, n. [L. temeritas, from temere by chance, rashly; perhaps akin to Skr. tamas darkness: cf. F. t['e]m['e]rit['e].] Unreasonable contempt of danger; extreme venturesomeness; rashness; as, the temerity of a commander in war. Syn: Rashness; precipitancy; heedlessness; venturesomeness. Usage: {Temerity}, {Rashness}. These words are closely allied in sense, but have a slight difference in their use and application. Temerity is Latin, and rashness is Anglo-Saxon. As in many such cases, the Latin term is more select and dignified; the Anglo-Saxon more familiar and energetic. We show temerity in hasty decisions, and the conduct to which they lead. We show rashness in particular actions, as dictated by sudden impulse. It is an exhibition of temerity to approach the verge of a precipice; it is an act of rashness to jump into a river without being able to swim. Temerity, then, is an unreasonable contempt of danger; rashness is a rushing into danger from thoughtlessness or excited feeling. It is notorious temerity to pass sentence upon grounds uncapable of evidence. --Barrow. Her rush hand in evil hour Forth reaching to the fruit, she plucked, she eat. --Milton. web1913
temerity n : fearless daring [syn: {audacity}, {audaciousness}] wn

The Connection : Cork Wars

"The cork is under assault. Wineries are using plastic stoppers, and (yes, it’s true) screw-top caps on top-notch vino. The plastic lobby says cork’s no good, that it taints the wine. The cork lobby says it’s being slandered, that conscientious consumers will choose cork because it’s also environmentally-correct. No one’s quite ready to embrace the screw-top, but it’s coming. Is this really a conversation about what’s best for the wine lover, or what’s best for business?"

Radio Crankypants #21: The Unbearable Instantness of Outlines

So, I spent some time this morning writing a SAX filter to read an OPML file and slurp "instant outlines". The short version is : you should be able to do this with exactly one data file and one parsing/munging widget. As it stands, you need two data files : the outline and a storage unit -- a table in Frontier, a Storable file in Perl -- to maintain the list of subscriptions and (I guess it's a six-of-one thing) their file size. What is aggravating about this approach is that all the necessary information for doing instant outlines can be stored in the outline file itself. The (unwritten) DTD for an OPML file is:



<!ELEMENT outline (outline?|outline*)>



<!ATTLIST outline text CDATA #REQUIRED



                  created CDATA #REQUIRED



                  type (link|foo|bar) #IMPLIED



                  url CDATA #IMPLIED>



Rewritten to accomodate "inline" instant outlines it would look like:



<!ELEMENT outline (outline?|outline*)>



<!ATTLIST outline text CDATA #REQUIRED



                  created CDATA #REQUIRED



                  modified CDATA #REQUIRED



                  type (link|subscription|foo|bar) #IMPLIED



                  url CDATA #IMPLIED>



Which would let you do something neat like:







# @ISA = qw (XML::SAX::Base)







sub start_element {



   my $self = shift;



   my $data = shift;







   if ($data->{Name} ne "outline") {



       $self->SUPER::start_element($data);



       return 1;



   }







   # This part of SAX2 really sucks...



   if ($data->{Attributes}->{'{}type'}->{Value} ne "subscription") {



       $self->SUPER::start_element($data);



       return 1;



   }







   # mmmm...suckiness



   my $uri = $data->{Attributes}->{'{}url'}->{Value};







   my $ua      = LWP::UserAgent->new();



   my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET=>$uri);







   # I don't think Radio does this; it should.



   $ua->max_size(MAX_SIZE); 



  



   # The Yeastie Girls wrote a great song called "You Suck"



  
$request->if_modified_since($data->{Attributes}->{'{}modified'}->{Value});







   my $outline = $ua->request($request);







   # Not modified. Move along, now.



   # Needs to carp unless return code is OK



   # or NOT_MODIFIED







   if (! $outline->is_success()) {



     $self->SUPER::start_element($data);



     return 1;



   }







   # Suck it hard, baby



   $data->{Attributes}->{'{}modified'}->{Value} = time;







   $self->SUPER::start_element($data);







   # Pass $outline->content() off to a secondary filter



   # and keep munging. Note to self: hooks to prevent



   # recursive instant-ness... 



}



Oh well.

Simson Garfinkel : Spamthing

"maintains a list of people who are allowed to send you mail. This list is called a whitelist. When somebody who is not on your whitelist sends you an email message, they get a very simple message in response ... When the sender gets this email message, all they have to do is click reply and then click send. Spamthing scans all of your incoming email for a message from the particular sender that has the words SPAMTHING #119285431 in the Subject: line. When it finds this message, it automatically adds the sender to your whitelist and sends them [a] polite message in response."

Uche Ogbuji : Basic XML and RDF techniques for knowledge management

"shows how to add semantic knowledge to an RDF application by incorporating WordNet synonym sets. With the added knowledge of the WordNet lexical database, you can search a set of RDF data for related concepts, not just one keyword at a time." I wonder if this is worth incorporating into the aaronland category widget. What I'd really like to know is how to assign/install Mozilla keywords automagically (with a prompt, don't worry), using JavaScript. By the way, have I told you how much I hate the term "knowledge management"?

Andrew Odlyzko : Content is Not King

"Content can be profitable. Numerous media companies are doing very well. Content can also be of value to a network, even aside from providing traffic for the network to carry. However, it is probably best to think of content as either catnip or icing on the cake; something to attract new users, or enhance user experience. That is what broadcast TV programs do for the advertisers who pay for them. That may also have been the main role of the Web and browsers in bringing more people to the Internet."

Stuart Minor Benjamin : Stepping into the Same River Twice, Rapidly Changing Facts and the Appellate Process

"What if, for example, factual findings regarding the Internet on which the Supreme Court relied in Reno v. ACLU are now outdated, such that the Communications Decency Act (CDA)--not a similar statute, but the CDA itself--merits new consideration as a possibly constitutional statute? Even more provocatively, what if some of those findings were outdated by the time the Supreme Court decided the case, and the changes in the months after the district court issued its findings weakened the case for unconstitutionality? This Article will discuss the issues raised by both possibilities, focusing on changes during the appellate process."

Morning Edition talks to Michael Lewis

about Jim Clark and Silicon Valley. I really hope it's not true that one of the defining characteristics of the Valley and the people who live there is a general neglect and disdain for the past. It seems sad and limiting on a individual level and just a wee bit disconcerting on a societal one. real audio.

Mr. Bill on federalism

It's difficult, after reading something like this not to feel sad. Maybe [he] accomplished more in his eight years than meets the eye, but it often just seems like he dropped the ball. Reagan was a puppet and Bush was a company man and Mr. Bill might just have had a clue but we'll never know. While he was in Canada, Mr.Bill also celebrated the opening of Battleship America and recalled fond memories of visiting France .

Phillipe Queau : Unequal terms of electronic trade

"The "invisible hands" of networks and the market are naturally at work weaving a single fabric. It is a familiar lesson, one we have already learned from Microsoft (4). It has turned the geography of Europe and Asia upside down: America has now become virtually the heart of these regions. On average, the cost of dedicated lines between European countries - the famous "information highways" or "backbones" along which Internet traffic passes - is between 17 and 20 times higher than that of equivalent links in the US (5). A Paris-New York or London-New York link is cheaper than Paris-London or Paris-Frankfurt. Virginia has become the hub of intra-European links." The original piece, written in French, can be found here .
