IE is crap
IE is crap
06/24/2005 10:03 PMKatjaW
pointed out that my blog looks like crap on IE these days (both side
bars are missing). Well, it does work pretty well on every other
browser I've tried (don't use Windows at all at home, so I can't be
bothered to check on IE whenever I change the template, and Mac IE is
braindead when it comes to CSS most of the time anyway), so frankly,
I'm tempted to leave it as-is for IE users. Or maybe just disable the
difficult bits, and leave a very plain experience for IE users.
According to my statistics, less than half (41% to be exact) of my
readers use IE anyway...
Maybe I can be bothered to do something about it someday. Tips
appreciated.
Update 24.06: Tweaked the CSS a bit and added some explicit
"display:block;" -commands to some places, which seemed to
required on IE (boo hiss). It still looks a bit crappy (and the
window is too wide), but now at least you can see all the
content.

Why IRC is crap, yet useless
Why IRC is crap, yet useless
06/07/2004 05:57 AMAfter several (well, since 1989 anyway) years of experience on
IRC, I still probably
can count the useful hours I've spent there using one hand only.
(Then again, I can count in binary.)
But the reason why IRC is interesting is that it functions as a
collective subconscious. On some channels certain things pop up
constantly, even though nobody really cares about them. For example,
on #go.fi people talk about EGF rating points. These have
no significance for any player whatsoever, unless you are a
very strong. But they are a slightly-better-than-randomized way of
evaluating performance. So everybody has some interest. On #joiito,
most of the discussion is completely incomprehensible, yet those
people feel a strange connection, and gather together at conventions.
IRC is like a common subconscious, where thoughts come and go, tucking
in different directions, yet never converging.
Most of the discussion on any channel is bullshit. Pure and honest
crap. Nothing but the equivalent of waving your lips in the wind in
the faint hope a meaningful sentence will appear, if you keep
producing syllables just long enough.
But it's common crap. That crap which binds us together, and
builds communities. Some people have this odd notion that
"social activity" is the same as sitting in a pub, drinking
beer and talking horseshit. Fine. The important thing is
"crap".
All of social software is mostly about crap. This is what the CSCW
folks never realized - they thought it was important to increase
productivity and get more achieved through computer-assisted work.
The social software phenomenon (weblogs, Orkut, LinkedIn, IRC, chats, bulletin
boards, ...) is built on the notion that people wish to talk crap.
They enable you to use your time idly, do nothing, because conscious
thoughts (and the inevitable good ideas) rise from the subconscious
soup of crap. I think that's why Wikis haven't really flown is that
they are not that good places for crap: the community deletes anything
that is not considered to be in line of the other contents of the
wiki. They don't allow the subconscious simmer of thought in the same
way as IRC. It remains to be seen how much crap will surface on Orkut
or Friendster, and whether that amount is enough to allow them to
survive. (I've noticed I don't use Orkut anymore, even though I am
listed. There's just so little point.)
The Finnish IRC service IRC-galleria, is really a place for
IRC regulars to post their picture and have comments appended to it.
However, there are now many young people, who put their pictures on
the IRC gallery, and then "go ircing" on it - meaning
posting comments on other peoples pages on the IRC gallery, creating
large amounts of anger among those who know what IRC really is. I
think this is a wonderful example of "crap in action" - if
you build a way for people to discuss, they will come.
The societies are built on crap. The internet is built on crap.
Crap is good. Keep talking bullshit, and while the world may not be
better, at least it will be a far more interesting place. :-D

Urgh. I just spent a few hours trying to figure out why JNDI
JavaMail session
stopped working. Previously, I had Tomcat 5.0.26 beta
installed and it was working
just fine. In an attempt to debug another problem, I peddled
back to 5.0.25,
which is the latest version without any beta tag, and found that I
couldn't send e-mail
out from an webapp. Error message was rather bland so it took
me a while to
find the relevant bug report. Guess what? 5.0.25 build
left out some
key classes related to JNDI JavaMail session support. Heck, I
think I'll go
back to the beta version and keep my fingers crossed.

Crap, I really liked his stuff.
It's a little weird, in a life-imitates-art sort of way, to realize
his song was used in a suicide scene (in The Royal Tennenbaums), and
now he's gone and done that himself.

Forget eBay, Just Give Your Crap Away
Forget eBay, Just Give Your Crap Away
09/27/2004 03:20 AMWhile some people look at eBay and see a great way to get rid of old
junk they no longer have a use for, there are still some people where
eBay seems like too much of a hassle. For those people, they usually
have four choices: just hang onto the stuff and let it pile up (my
personal favorite), toss it into the garbage pile, donate it to some
charity or (maybe) hand it off to one of those
eBay
middlemen who seem to keep popping up everywhere. However, there
seems to be a growing group of people who have another option:
give it away to someone who wants it. This isn't new (and
I'd thought we'd written about it before...), but it appears that the
concept of
Freecycle is growing.
Basically, they sign up for an email list in their area, then people
email "haves" and "wants" to the list, and others respond. It's not
trading. It's not about selling. It's all about free. If you have
something you want to get rid of, rather than doing any of the above,
you just find someone directly who could actually use it, and you give
it to them. Of course, it looks like some of the groups are pretty
high volume, which could make it difficult to deal with. Still, it's
an interesting way to build a community in a Craigslist-style fashion.

n AP story says that generic drugs are cheaper than half price
brand name drugs from Canada. What the FDA doesn't say is that most of
the time, you can't get generics. The FDA acknowledges that there is a
20 year lag time due to
patents. So, if you want an old drug, fine, but most of the time, I
suggest, foreign drugs are still cheaper, if you can get them from a
reputable source that hasn't been
