Everyday there seems to be a new windows Internet Explorer bug or exploit that introduces a new virus into potentially millions of computers, but this new one takes the cake. Thanks to IE's security holes, someone can install a bug on your system that furishes them with your banking passwords. And IE is still the most popular web browser on earth. This is totally and completely insane.

If you don't already use Firefox as your default browser in Windows, download it right now and make it your default -- for your own personal safety and the safety of your investments.

NASA Fired Will Carpenter for writing a short story. "Some kind of harrassment," they said, and since Texas is an at-will employment state, there's not much he can do about it. Is this story a valid means of self-expression or a harrassing glimpse into jilted anger? I've stumbled across more and more news stories about people being fired for writing, and students expelled for writing "dark poetry" in the classroom. How much do you have to keep secret from your classmates and co-workers?

The web has a ways to go

The web has a ways to go 11/11/2003 11:27 PM
I live in San Francisco. I wanted to get some Thai food delivered to my apartment. I didn't have any menus handy, so I tried to use the web. I failed. In fact, not only did I fail, but I tried for half an hour and had a miserable time while doing it. I don't know where the breakdown is: Thai restaurants in San Francisco don't deliver (to my neighborhood*), the information isn't on the web, the mechanisms for finding the information aren't good, or I'm inept at using them. But it seems like a simple, possible thing that was not possible for simple enough for me to complete before giving up and settling for a veggie burger bought from the health food store across the street.

Unless it's the first option, which I doubt, the web has a ways to go.

Yay.

* I actually placed an order online here, which I was delighted about until, after realizing I gave the wrong phone number, I called, and they then told me I'm too far away.

Break up stories. NYC blogger smitten shares her friend's break-up-by-text-message story and invites readers to post their own. Resulting tales of woe (and some that aren't) include: (1) a "Dear John" e-mail; (2) he dedicates Robert Palmer's classic "I didn't mean to turn you on" to you; (3) his mother calls to say happy birthday and btw her son is having an affair; (4) you find out he has a fiance when she calls to ask who you are; (5) you break up right after sex while everyone's still naked. Maybe there should be a Strunk and White "Elements of Style" resource for break up protocol.

10,000 ways to Ni Hao with Unicode and
PHP

10,000 ways to Ni Hao with Unicode and
PHP 10/29/2003 12:11 AM
Joel Spolsky has been cursing the lack of support for Unicode in PHP. So last week, he wrote this great article on The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!).

Of course, that still doesn't answer his initial question of how to get Unicode working with PHP. Well Scott Reynen had the solution and wrote Ho w to develop multilingual, Unicode applications with PHP in response to Joel's frustration.

Scott's technique works on all versions of PHP. Or you can just use the UTF8 character set and mbstring functions, which should run faster as they are coded in C. To use mbstring, you need PHP 4.3 or later (it was buggy pre-4.3). On Unix, you will need to compile the extension in. On Windows, you just need to modify your php.ini.

Update: l0t3k is working on a Unicode I18N extension based on IBM's open source International Components for Unicode. The extension includes a UnicodeString class with the requisite searching, replacing, casing, trimming, and classification methods. Get the CVS version (16 Oct 2003).

PS: Ni Hao means hello in Chinese.

Ways To Say “Broken”

Ways To Say “Broken” 08/18/2004 12:25 PM
Borked. Busted. DOA. Done in. Hosed. Frapped out. Gronked. Fubar. Kaput. Roached. Shot. Snafu. Tits up. Toast. Note once again the vitality of English, with contributions from engineering and military jargon interbreeding organically, and in one case cheerful borrowing from our German cousins. Contributions for the list welcome. Lauren, who contributed to the list, notes that pining for the fjords means “dead” not “broken”. Paul Hoffman, who contributed gronked, asserts that tits up and in fact much of the list does too. I disagree, and it’s my list. Let’s just stay away from the corollary, that engineers apparently regard any complex system that’s functioning properly to be be a temporary anomaly.

On the genesis of two ways of seeing the

On the genesis of two ways of seeing the
world... 12/06/2003 07:49 PM

So I'm sitting in the BBC canteen in Broadcasting House with one Matthew Webb, who is (I fear) the husband part of our particular TV husband-and-wife Research and Development team. I say that because he sits really quietly and reads things and grunts while I freak out about stuff and try and kick him under the table. In this particular aspect - as in many others - it feels much like my parent's marriage (except with heated and even occasionally productive debates about social software, recommendations engines and the like).

Anyway, he's unusually chatty on this day and I think I'm being unusually stoic and calm. I'm tucking into a slab of over-cooked BBC roast-pork with mixed vegetables that have been boiled into submission while he's chomping on some kind of grey-looking sandwich from the shop that doesn't have the scary woman with the thrusting money-demanding hand at the cash-till. I'm probably using a plastic knife because they never have any metal knives - my theory being that with the BBC's internal politics (in other departments, obviously) being what it is, a metal knife would simply prove too much of a temptation. And - while we look out over the bright panorama of London towards the distant hills of Hampstead, across the emptiness of Regent's Park - Matt starts talking about fog, the diffraction of light (I'm not a physics graduate, so apologies if that makes no sense) and the possibilities of enormous hovering spherical mirrors.

And it was in this fashion that I became witness to the genesis of an UpsideClown story that oozes Borges and Ong called: The Mirrored Spheres of Patagonia. Since Matt and I talked initially, he took his story seed and doused it liberally in Gro-fast, psycho-tropic substances, a small amount of cat-pee from an animal with prostate difficulty and had it bitten by a passing radio-active spider. Or so I can only deduce from its scale, complexity and total disconnection from traditional human forms of communication. A choice excerpt follows:

"The basis for Patagonian civilisation, the discovery that turned a relatively simple agricultural community towards greater and greater complexity, was the perfection of their science of optics. Every citizen carried a telescope, and at intervals in their cities vast mirrored spheres were winched into the air. Smaller spheres were placed outside windows, and similar ones inside all rooms and scattered in all public places. Strung between cities and villages were magnifying lenses, repeaters, also winched up. From what we're told it seems that this infrastructure allowed any citizen - from anywhere - to view any other point in the empire."

At which point I can only say that my competing ideology - that we should bio-engineer human beings to produce nano-enhanced packet-switching uber-networked skin-flakes that were able to sense the nature of the thing they were adjacent to and capable of determining their three-dimensional location in space with relation to nearby flakes with the effect of producing an accurate and 3-D explorable model of the world and all its surfaces that could tell you what and where everything was at any given moment of the day or night - was significantly more fun. And moreover (you will note with respect) had the advantage of not defying any major laws of physics and helping you determine which parts of the world were particularly in need of a hoover.
