Weird-o SMS behaviour

Weird-o SMS behaviour 02/05/2005 09:13 PM
Outi sent me yesterday a sweet text message about mice. True to the nature of these beasts, that SMS started multiplying: for some reason, T-Mobile (yes, I'm in Germany) has decided to deliver that message to me eleven times within the past 24 hours. Even though it has been sent only once.

It seems that every SMS sent from Finland is replaced by this same SMS message - so if you've tried to contact me, I have only seen a message about a mouse from Outi. Sorry. You gotta try and resend, if you had anything to say (or just email me).

Weirdosity++.

Curious Javascript in .NET

Curious Javascript in .NET 04/26/2004 02:08 AM

I've never had the opportunity nor the inclination to do anything with .NET; at work we use open source tools for all of our web development, and I prefer open source tools for my own personal experiments as well. At any rate, the javascript:__doPostBack links I've seen on .NET powered sites such as Channel 9 and Orkut plain give me the willies.

Anyway, I decided to view source and see what __doPostBack actually does. Here's the function:

function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
  var theform;
  if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("microsoft") >
-1) {
    theform = document._ctl0;
  }
  else {
    theform = document.forms["_ctl0"];
  }
  theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
  theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
  theform.submit();
}

Note the use of a dubious user-agent based browser detection method. Now what I just don't understand is why that browser detection is there in the first place. There are numerous ways of accessing a form by name using Javascript. document.forms['form-name'] is part of DOM level 0, and is supported by virtually every browser since Netscape 2. document.form-name is a Microsoft invention. The thing is, document.forms['form-name'] is supported by MS browsers as well. So why do a browser detect and use the MS only method when just using the other method with no detect would work equally as well?

The Curious Aibo

The Curious Aibo 06/17/2005 07:11 PM
IT World has an article about how Sony researchers have created 'curious' Aibos. The researchers put about a dozen Aibos in playpens with balls and after some time the Aibos went from swivelling their legs and heads to wiggling, to being able to crawl and following a ball that had been placed in front of them. The researchers claim that this is open-ended learning and not preprogrammed. The researchers say the key is that these new Aibos have a metabrain which keeps them learning. If their learning isn't going anywhere (bored) it makes them curious to learn new things. The project is not expected to lead to products soon, if at all. The scientists do hope to add more stimuli and let the Aibos learn over longer periods of time to see if they may learn even more.

Microsoft has no licence for bad
behaviour 09/03/2004 09:55 AM
Microsoft's demands for control of essential Internet standards belie its commitments to security for all. The fight against spam is both practical and symbolic. It directly affects our ability to benefit from the Net, and it epitomises the balance between free access and control. A new standard, Sender ID, makes it easier to reject email that doesn't come from its purported source. It's not the magic bullet, but it's certainly part of the gun. Yet Microsoft is actively hindering the adoption of this standard. Uniquely among Internet standards, Microsoft's restrictive licence is plainly incompatible with open source, in theory and in practice. It can do this, the company says, because it holds intellectual property -- in the form of pending patents -- on basic ideas used in the standard, and thus it is free to demand that anyone who incorporates the standard in a product must comply with Microsoft's conditions. Ask the company why it needs to make this demand and no good answer is forthcoming.

I have a question about weird powerbook
behaviour: ... 03/13/2003 10:22 AM

I have a question about weird powerbook behaviour: it's making strange noises. Like, really strange. Every keyboard or mouse event seems to generate a very, very quiet click from inside the machine; moving your finger around the trackpad sounds like a geiger counter.

It's not the audio system -- turning the speaker off doesn't stop it happening. I don't think it's software-related, either (certainly my iBook didn't make these noises, and neither does the desktop G4 in the next room). It doesn't sound like the drive seeking. It might be some kind of electrical interference directly tweaking the speakers, but I don't particularly want to start opening up the laptop and snipping wires to find out. Anyone got any ideas? It's driving me nuts -- I get paranoid when computers do things I can't explain ...

Update: I found other Powerbook owners complaining of the same thing at Powerbook Zone, so it's not just my imagination. Weirdly, the noises stop when the machine is running on battery juice and the CPU is throttled back. So it appears to be something related to the CPU cooling system ...

http://curious.astro .cornell.edu/index.php

At this website, volunteers in the Astronomy Department at Cornell University provide great educational materials about astronomy for educators and students. Visitors can find links to outside resources which cover many different aspects of astronomy and space science. The site provides links to biographies of the scientists who answer the many questions received each week. Users can find a huge archive of questions and answers divided into four main categories: the solar system, universe, observational astronomy, and miscellaneous. Visitors can also view a list of all the questions or search the archives by key words. If individuals can't find answers to their questions at this site, they can send their questions to the scientists. This has been added to Astronomy Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
