From geek to chef

From geek to chef 09/14/2004 12:46 PM
This past May, when I decided to go on sabbatical I wrote that I needed a break because: I had no perspective on anything, I was so deep into my world of weblogs and tech that I didn't have much sense of what was going on outside of my geek circles... I've been burning my candle at both ends for years now, and decided it was time to stop. Emotionally I was drained. Physically I was drained. But that wasn't the full truth of it, because there was something I'd been feeling that I wasn't quite able to admit. It's taken me several months of time away from computers and tech and geeks to accept the fact that computers and technology are not my passion. My interest in the web and tech was always more about people. With weblogs, it was making it possible for everyone to write online and share and communicate. And while I was doing it, I really did care very deeply about my work -- the products we were creating, the people for whom they were built, and the people who worked with me to build them. As my career progressed, I pushed myself to be more visible as a technology speaker, dabbled at freelance writing, and started another tech company. But something was always missing, and I've realized that was true passion for what I was doing. So last night I ended my sabbatical and began my new career doing something I've always felt passionate about: cooking. I'm working in the kitchen of a restaurant called Fifty-Six Union (mentioned at the bottom of thisFeasting on Nantucket article) here on Nantucket. Yesterday at 3 PM I put on my black chef's clogs, my black pants and white t-shirt, pulled my Red Sox cap over my hair and got to work peeling and deveining shrimp. Seven hours later, sweatily scrubbing the kitchen floors, I was still smiling. I've learned a lot this summer during my sabbatical but it all can be summarized in three words: follow your heart.

Never Iron Your Clothes Again!

Never Iron Your Clothes Again! 06/01/2004 06:34 PM
“German manufacturing company Siemens, has built a machine that looks like the upper body of a mannequin and uses similar technology to ironing systems employed by professional clearners and laundries. You just put your shirt overtop and the shell inflates with hot air and presses the shirt into shape in just 6.5 minutes, as compared to the average of 8 minutes ironing it by hand. It could take an hour, as far as I’m concerned - anything’s better than ironing by hand.”

Big iron vs. Linux

Big iron vs. Linux 07/10/2002 01:42 PM
At this point, I am simply astounded by companies that have not seriously embraced Linux, especially small and presumably nimble ones, such as Company A, with applications that could be easily ported. With financial services companies embracing Linux, not considering Linux amounts to having your head in the IT sand. More importantly, you just might be putting your business at risk by alienating your customer base with prohibitive costs. Change your business now or be gone later. -- Chad Dickerson "zeldman.joan"

Web developers of all sizes will be able to leverage MySQL Cluster under the GPL open source license without cost, while those needing commercial support can opt for the purchased license. This opens up development environments that can now test clustering without the cost of acquiring big iron database licensing (even development licenses from some providers can run between $400 and $1000)."

Eric goes stati

Eric goes stati 06/09/2004 05:54 AM
Stat!.

Right. Apparently as I get more and more tired, the entry titles suck more and more.

Anyways, lately I've been involved in more than a few discussions where knowing about the composition of the "FOAF-sphere" (god, I must be tired) would be useful.

Specifically, right now there exist a lot of different kinds of FOAF in the world. Some mal-formed, some using old vocab items, some piping hot and fresh from active developers and systems. Being able to say what percentages exist would be really really nice.

So, I've dragged out the scutter code, and currently the "SemanticWebStatsBot" is crawling around the FOAF web. It's as polite as I'm getting for off-the-cuff code, namely it only does one request per second. It kinda pays attention to HTTP codes, but not really. iono quite what to do about Livejournal just yet, probably mull that one over in my sleep at some point.

Currently, I'm trying to answer the following "starter set" of questions:

• # of files (banal, not very useful, but likely to be a nice big spooky number)
• %age of files that are valid RDF
• %age of files that follow the OWL rules for the various vocabs (FOAF, REL, WOT, TRUST)
• "verbosity" of FOAF files (aka how many terms are used, both with FOAF vocab items and others)
• # of files that exist which have a "minimal useful FOAF personal document" set of vocab items
• # of files with a Document/maker combo (adoption rates)
• # of files with a PersonalProfileDocument/maker combo (adoption rates)
• # of files with depreciated or "made up" terms in the FOAF vocabspace
• Tallies of the usage of current terms (aka X many people use foaf:name, Y many people use foaf:nick, etc)
• %age usage of WoT and Trust vocabularies
• If possible, try to figure out generator information (admin vocab? scutter vocab?)

If the data looks interesting coming out of this, and it isn't too difficult to maintain (see: LiveJournal), I'm thinking I might just do this as a monthly compendium. Sort of a "State of the FOAF" if you will. So, the question is: If you had a monthly peek at the "Semantic Web" (or at least a fairly broad subset of the publicly available part of it), what kind of questions would you want answered?[esigler.2nw.net]

Eric Meyer on CSS

Eric Meyer on CSS 06/27/2004 10:06 AM

I read this book on the plane to and from Chicago. Eric Meyer is apparently a CSS God, although I hadn't heard about him before this book came out.

In the end, the book wasn't for me. If you're a CSS hacker of some repute, you're probably not going to get a lot out of this book. But if you've just started CSS and want to become such a hacker, this one is right up your alley.

The book is divided into "projects." In the beginning of each chapter, Meyer states what you're going to try and do, then walks you though every line of CSS to get there, explaining what you're doing along the way.

The idea is that you'll download the project files from the companion Web site, and follow along — changing the CSS as he writes, then refreshing your pages. This is a fantastic way to do it, and is perfect for the beginner who wants to see exactly what their changes produce.

Sadly, however, I was on a airplane at the time, which doesn't lend itself well to coding, and rather than completing long-winded projects, I was really looking for some wicked tips and theories to earn myself entrance to CSS Nirvana.

I did learn a few things. The chapter on fixed background positioning was good, as was the last chapter in the book, where he tries to take the layout of the book, and convert it into CSS for equivalent display on the Web. The best bits for me, it turned out, where the little sidenotes in the margins.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good book. I was just the wrong audience. He has another one — More Eric Meyer on CSS. Perhaps I'll try that one.

Joel on Eric

Joel on Eric 12/15/2003 09:11 PM

Joel Spolsky's latest essay reviews Eric Raymond's The Art of Unix Programming (a book I really want to pick up) and uses it as background for a discussion of the cultural differences between Windows and Unix programmers. As always, it's an insightful piece.

Joel's key point is that while Unix programmers write code for other programmers, Windows programmers write code for end users. Unix programs end up being far more powerful and flexible, but Windows programs allow Aunt Madge to send email. Joel places the blame for the lack of success of Linux as a desktop operating systems on the cultural values that underpin it, which celebrate the diversity of multiple window managers rather than condeming them for confusing end users.

It's all good stuff. I'd argue that the rise of web-based applications balances the playing field somewhat in terms of ease of use of the different platforms - most people can handle a web application now (look at the success of webmail) and most browser behave in pretty much the same way no matter what operating system they run on. I guess that's why Microsoft were so scared of Netscape back in 1996.
