Varied feed polling times versus item
urgency in aggregators

Varied feed polling times versus item
urgency in aggregators 12/02/2003 12:28 AM

The problem with varying the polling interval is that the need varies. It's ok not to poll my little opensource website within 24 hours, but what about the announcements to the civil defence website or local municipal environment alerts, or the nuclear power plant news feed?

Definitely a good point there. For most of the feeds in my daily habit, what I use is an AIMD variation on my polling frequency per feed based on occurrence of new items. For feeds with low-frequency but high-urgency items, a different algorithm should come into play.

On the other hand... should incoming alerts with that much urgency really be conveyed via an architecture driven by polling? Here's an excellent case for tying instant messaging systems and pub/sub into the works.

Homer on citizens media.

Just watched Sunday's season finale of The Simpsons on our TiVo. Homer has this to say about all the residents of Springfield starting their own newspapers: "Instead of one big-shot controlling all the media, now there's a thousand freaks Xeroxing their worthless opinions." Ah, citizens media.

Man oh man, what can I say.

Who Needs Facts When Opinions Can Be
Inserted Instead? 03/29/2005 05:32 PM
While actual studies looking at the language skills of kids who send instant messages and SMS text messages suggest that there 's no difference in language skills, why should actually looking at the subjects stop those who are worried about the impacts of these communications technologies? The folks over at Reader's Digest -- who built their whole business on the idea of "condensing" things down -- have published a study saying that many parents believe that such messaging technologies harm the vocabulary skills of their kids. Of course, the headline is more inflammatory than reality, because it's still less than half of parents who believe so (a quarter of parents believe such technologies help vocabulary skills). Still, the problem with this study is that it's not studying the actual issue at all. It's studying what parents think is happening, as opposed to what is actually happening. However, for many people that distinction gets lost, and they assume the study actually says something it never did.

Xeni Jardin: Following up on this previous BoingBoing post, reader Sewer Urchin says,

The Rebel Force Band isn't the only rare Star Wars music out there. As scary as it may sound, there was a Star Wars Christmas album, and as you will hear, it's probably the worst holiday music ever recorded.

With songs like "What Can You Get A Wookiee For Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb?)" and "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas" performed by a pre-fame Bon Jovi, your ears will be begging for mercy. The force was definitely not with the creators of this album.

New Star Wars trailer

New Star Wars trailer 03/14/2005 04:23 PM

Once every three years, the first trailer for yet another crappy George Lucas Star Wars movie is released somewhere to great fanfare. And each time, I watch said trailer and get all excited. It looks great, I'll say. Maybe it'll actually be good. My hopes start to rise. And then the movie comes out, Natalie Portman is transformed by Lucas' awful direction into the worst actress ever, and I leave the theatre disappointed that a cherished childhood institution has been handled in such a piss-poor manner. With the impending release of Episode III and the trailer during last night's episode of The OC, I have vowed not to get my hopes up. Never again, George Lucas, will you disappoint me.

However.

OMFG THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW STAR WARS MOVIE IS SOOO GREAT AND EXCITING AND THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KICK SO MUCH ASS!!!

A torrent of the trailer is available here (smaller version here) and in QuickTime.

First the Kelly Clarkson thing and now this...I don't know what's going on here. I promise there's an interesting scientific explanation for all this. I'll write about it soon, honest. Malcolm, Steven, James, can you help me out here?
