12/12/2003 09:13 AM I've been notified that Joho has received The Blog Site's first Blog

Blog Book Club: A Promise re "Promises
to Keep"
Blog Book Club: A Promise re "Promises
to Keep"
09/26/2004 02:51 PM
Professor Terry Fisher's new book is the most serious, comprehensive
treatment of the alternatives we face for protecting copyright in a
digital age. While it's famous for his particular solution, it is most
effective when you see his solution against the background of the
complete set of alternatives that he surveys.
I think this book deserves extremely serious consideration by all who
think seriously about this issue. I've asked Terry to guest blog
during the week of October 24, but I'd encourage people to look at the
book before then. His publisher has permitted him to make only two
chapters available freely. You can find them on his
website. You can also get
the book at
Amazon.

SpaceShipOne bl0g, part 5
06/21/2004 09:17 AMThe Space Woodstock Wireless edition. SpaceShipOne ground crew member
Alan Radecki says:
Well, folks, there's now a big RV city sitting out there...and they're
still lined up and coming in at 10pm. Lots of folks are wandering the
flightline street, ooing and ahing. XCOR has their hangar open and are
doing firings of their little rocket engines to show off for the
folks. Someone on the [mojave airport mailing] list mentioned "Space
Woodstock"...it certainly seems like it! There's a ton of press out
here, too...it'll be neat to see how things play out.
BoingBoing reader
Mike, who is en
route to the Mojave launch site, writes:
We're currently southbound on I-5, 222 miles from Mojave, and
intelligence from the front says that parking has been opened already
and there's about 300 people there already. We have a wifi base in
here connected to a GRPS cellular uplink and all sorts of insanity, so
we are a moving open wifi spot, and we will be one of the many who
will have a port open there.
And BoingBoing reader Peeter says, "The webcast links you pointed to
earlier seem to be overloaded, but
this one from MSNBC
still works -- at least here in Europe."
History may change today -- if the launch is successful, it will be
the first time a privately-built spacecraft carries a human into
space.

pilot, Lin

updates there around 9:30 am ET) and

SpaceShipOne bl0g, part two
SpaceShipOne bl0g, part two
06/17/2004 09:49 AMIn which Piss Clear meets the Final Frontier:
Hi all, The folks at MHV are continuing to get the various sites ready
for the influx of people, who seem to already be arriving. Several RVs
drove slowly down the flightline.
The White Knight, which was doing a number of touch and goes day
before yesterday, was out doing maintenance runs today.
Yesterday's update generated a couple of questions:
1 -- Can a person sleep in their car on the airport overnight
Sunday night? No. The general parking area won't open till 3am. Only
self-contained RVs will be allowed on the airport overnight. There is
a large open lot across Hwy 58 from where big-rig trucks usually
overnight, and that might be an option. I do understand, however, that
a number of people plan on lining up on the shoulder of 58 around
midnight. Don't know if they'll get chased away or not. There's a CHP
(California Highway Patrol, for you out-of-staters) station adjacent
to the airport, so they may be out in force.
2 -- Is there any European live broadcasts planned? I've no clue.
AFAIK, there are a bunch of satellite trucks scheduled to start
arriving on Saturday, no idea who they might be from. I have not heard
of anyone planning a live webcast, but you might want to check at
space.com to see if they're doing anything...I know some of their
folks will be here.
One caution to those planning on being here but aren't used to life in
the desert: BRING LOTS OF WATER! Even at 7am, it's getting quite warm
now, and you will get dehydrated much faster than you'll realize.
There will be vendors selling water, but count on it being pricey. Our
rule of thumb out here: if you're not peeing every couple of hours,
you're not drinking enough.
Other news: I haven't received confirmation yet, but my understanding
was that the FAA was supposed to issue the airport the first ever
civilian spaceport license today. There's going to be about a 2 hour
gap between the flight and the offical press conference, and they are
tentatively planning to do a formal presentation of the license during
that time, and it should be within view of the public viewing area.
The public viewing area is set up southeast of the new Taxiway Bravo
(map is available at mojaveairport.com ), at the approach end of Rwy
30, so everyone will get an excellent view of the landing.
When Burt came in for lunch at the Voyager Cafe yesterday, he was all
grins...looks like he's really having a lot of fun with this. Five
days and counting!

06/18/2004 10:59 AMIn which our protagonists are asked,"So, you got a license for that
spaceport?"
Hi all, Not sure what the hitch is, but the
designation of MHV as the first commercial inland spaceport didn't
happen by the FAA as expected yesterday... stay tuned.
Regarding broadcasts and webcasts of the launch: CNN is reportedly
going to do a live broadcast, don't know if that'll reach Europe.
Local radio station KLOA FM 104.9 has the exclusive radio rights to
direct feed, and it now sounds as if they'll be live webcasting the
audio here. There is now a map of the public parking area up on the
the airport site here. There really is no other news to report this morning. It's
a gorgeous, if somewhat warm day.

Thanks, Bloggies! BB wins best group
bl0g, and bl0g of the year!
03/14/2005 05:29 PMXeni Jardin:
Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.
Link
Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

CLEANUP PART ONE
02/10/2004 02:48 AM
Well, thanks to readers much
more tech-savvy than I am, I think I may be able to get Google to
start
picking up my posts again, and, by tightening up the code of my
blogroll, also make the page load faster for those patient readers
with
dial-up access. So far I have moved the blogroll to the right hand
column, so Google will not get bogged down in the blogroll code and
give up before it gets to the actual posts. In the process I messed up
the masthead, so I've adopted a simple one-piece masthead
temporarily.
If this post works properly, I'll then make an additional change to my
blogroll, stripping out the table HTML and replacing it with a simple
list separated by line breaks. Next post will report on the results of
that. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

08/07/2004 07:21 PMHere's another reason why I love the blogosphere and the time we
live in. Leslie Michael Orchard has a speced
out an Atompowered, client/server aggregator:
Here's the post.....
So, besides the funk, there’s a little project in which I’ve
gotten immersed. Here’s a teaser diagram:
It’s a feed aggregator, my third attempt at such. At present,
things are roughly close to the diagram above. Everything is clunky
and command-line driven at present—but I’ve got further plans,
like a REST API for feed queries and manipulation of various things
such as feed subscriptions and the read/unread state of items. Pair
this with an XSLT-driven browser UI, and the possibility of other
clients (not the least of include other Atom-consuming
aggregators).
The goal is to make a Cl
ient/Server Aggregator. Somewhat serendipitously, I just caught
Bob DuCharme<
/a>’s xml.com article on
Amazon.com’s web services, which I
really like and have drawn inspiration from in thinking about this
new aggregator. Eventually, I want to offer the same sort of XML+XSL
style of service that they’ve put together, along with some futher
inspiration from the At
om API.
Anyway, as another teaser, check out this early demo involving the
XML this thing has been producing, coupled with some experimental
XSL:
You’ll notice that there are three URLs involved here:
The XSLT expects Atom (plus a few extensions of my own), so you can
also do things like this:
These are the sorts of tricks I was looking forward to when I
started thinking about things like a universal blog
transfer format and rose-co
lored glasses. XSLT used like this could just as easily produce a
blog or RSS 2.0 content.
Anyway, hoping to get some code into CVS by this weekend that’s
not entirely embarassing. So if you’re interested in this stuff,
stay tuned. I’m hoping that this thing can provide a base for
others interested in feed aggregation—if you just want to play with
UI, use the scanning and storage as-is and tinker with XSLT; if you
want to play with storage and query, leave the scanning and UI alone;
if you want to tinker with parsing… er, talk to Mark Pilgrim.
More soon!
(Oh yeah, and I will be working on coming up with a better
name than dbagg3. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be
coming up with a more visually appealing design for the UI, since what
you see is the best I can do. Heh, heh. Don’t let your programmers
do visual design…)
