If we can't convince
our historical allies that this is a good thing to do, there is no way
we are going to be able to convince the Arab world.
People have to take a stand. War may be inevitable, but we need to do
what we can to keep our consciences clean.
There is a policy to make America safer, but this is not it.
"America is still the safest country in the world. The
administration is trying to scare people with this talk about terror
and duct tape. We should use our safety and prosperity and our
strength to do good and we can do good."
Brown said his resignation was "in part a result of Andrew Card's

Interview with Wikipedia founder
08/06/2004 01:14 PM
Slashdot is carrying a great
interview with the founder of Wikipedia. Wikipedia
is only about three and a half years old, but in that time it has
already grown well beyond the size of most standard printed
encyclopedias. In the interview, Jim Wales talks about how they manage
all that content, how they collect and spend donations to keep it
running, and what the future holds for Wikipedia. While Wikipedia
isn't Creative Commons licensed content, it is licensed in a similar
open fashion and this interview provides insight into what it takes to
run a massive open and free content project.

Interview with Michael Kimsal, founder
of Tap Internet
10/09/2002 11:48 AM
Michael Kimsal runs a company that does PHP training. I thought it
would be interesting in finding out how other people learnt PHP, so we
agreed to an interview.
What do students (of PHP) find hard to learn?
The hardest areas of functionality we used to try to cover in detail
were PDF generation and using GD. Every student *wants* to know how to
do these things, but usually when they start to see how difficult it
is to build PDFs and graphics by hand with the individual functions,
they want to skip it! :)
We've begun introducing JPGraph and HTMLDoc overviews which help
demonstrate the practical benefits of graphic and PDF generation while
giving them an easier way to get those benefits.
In terms of PHP itself, many students trip up over single quote/double
quote issues, variable name case-sensitivity and basic variable name
typos. Variable scope is something which catches people offguard too,
but is normally covered and drilled into them by the second day -
usually no problems with scoping after day 2.
PHP OO, limited as it is, is also mixed. Some students find it quite
straightforward, some struggle, and some reject it outright. Just like
the PHP community at large. :)

It was 6 years ago this week (on June 29th) that Robin Nobles launched
the very first online search engine marketing courses. In celebration
of her 6th year in business as a well known international educator and

of search engine marketing was like and how it compares to search

Should you need to install DBD::mysql on

11/19/2003 08:07 PM
Should you need to install DBD::mysql on Panther, here's a
few tips you might find helpful. First: DBD::mysql installation will
likely fail if you try to do it using the CPAN installer because it
won't be configured with your database settings. You'll need to
manually install it. Get it from CPAN here: DBD-mysql-2.9003
.
To create the Makefile you'll need to pass it your database's username
and password:
perl Makefile.PL --testuser=usename --testpassword=password
Next you'll need to add the following step (thanks to Casey
West):
perl -pi -e's/MACOSX/env MACOSX/' Makefile
I also had to sudo make install which makes the whole process like so:
perl Makefile.PL --testuser=username --testpassword=password
perl -pi -e's/MACOSX/env MACOSX/' Makefile
make
make test
sudo make install

ah, the joys of upgrading
ah, the joys of upgrading
02/01/2005 09:53 PM
Embiggened by the success I had installing Debian Sarge on my
desktop machine, I upgraded to Movable Type 3.14 from 2.661
today.
So far, the upgrade has been mostly painless, but I have
encountered a few headaches, which I may go into another time. I'm
glad that I exported my entire blog before I started, that's for
sure.
It looks like the comments have vanished all the way back until
December, and I don't know if they're even working right now, but I've
been here for hours, and now it's time for dinner. I kinda hate
computers right now.
If anyone notices anything strange, post a comment (if you
can) or drop me an e-mail, if you don't mind.
Update: Comments don't work. They time out for me, and I
hear via e-mail from a lot of WWdN readers that they are encountering
various errors that sound MT-Blacklist related.
I'd love to sit here for another few hours and figure it out, but
I'm tired, my back is sore, and I have an audition tomorrow. I'll try
to fix it later this week if I get some time.
Other than this incredibly annoying problem (which is probably my
fault, like I forgot to set some stupid file to 755 or something) and
a massive slowdown (which is probably server-related) the upgrade
looks great. I especially like how 3.14 handles plugins.
So if you're having problems commenting, I know. No need to e-mail
about it. However, if you're an MT user, and you've had any problems
like this upgrading, I'd love to hear how you got around it.
Oh, if you're looking for actual weblog content, I
recorded an audioblog on Friday called "Wanting . . . ".
Update the second: Comments are making it through, because
MT-Blacklist (2.04b) is e-mailing them to me, which is weird because I
didn't configure it to force moderation of new comments . . . but even
when I approve them, they're still not showing up. Maybe it's a
template thing.
Tell you what, I've learned a whole lot about MT because of this
little snag . . . sort of how I learned a whole lot about recompiling
a kernel when my machine puked recently.
So to review — things breaking: bad. Learning stuff while you
fix things: good.
Update the last: I converted my database from Berkeley db to
MySQL, and everything seems to be magically working. Cool!
The conversion was 100% painless. I edited two lines of mt.cfg
(with vim, of course) and ran a perl script to do the conversion. I
have about sixteen billion entries and comments and stuff, though, so
it took about three hours to convert . . . but I just sat here at my
desk and watched the update scroll by while I worked on my
audition.
By the way, this pilot I'm reading for today is the best pilot I've
seen in ages. Maybe five years or so (I use five, six, and nine years
as benchmarks, because that's how long I've been married, lived in
this house, and known Anne, respectively).
Update the last, for reals this time: Got back from the
audition to find a blog positively overflowing with spam. Tried to
login to MTBL, discovered that since I switched to the new database,
MTBL thinks I have an invalid username. D'oh! Until I get that worked
out, I've turned on a MT feature which will only allow comments from
people who are registered Typekey users. It's free, it's not
that big a hassle, and it could be a week or more before I finally
work out all these issues . . . so if you'd like to post a comment,
get yourself an account, just like my typekey
profile whydontcha.

looking forward to reinstalling all my extensions -- 26 at last count.
And the notice on the official Firebird extensions site, During
periods of heavy use, the extensions are taken offline to help
maintain a healthy, responsive server. Please check back later! For
now, please use Extension Room. seems especially clueless. I'd be
curious to hear what other Firebird users' upgrade experiences have
been....

Reuters reports that Virginia Tech is upgrading its Power Mac G5-based
supercomputer to Xserve G5s. “By moving to the thinner servers, the
supercomputer will consume less power and generate less heat, said
Srinidhi Varadarajan, assistant professor of computer science, college
of engineering, at Virginia Tech. ‘It cuts the system’s size down by a
factor of three,’ Varadarajan said. ‘The new system will take much
less power and generate less heat and free up space.’” [Jan 27]
