Commenting Feature 06/27/2004 04:18 PM

I have been getting some negative e-mail on us locking down our commentng system, we now require you to register with Typekey. I want to explain why we had to lock down the comments. I was spending 20 to 30 minutes a day removing spams that contained adult or inappropriate content. The spammers where using commenting programs that would put several 100 comments per spamming run places throughout our 2500 articles. We had a tool to help us clean those comments up but it took entirely to much time.

The new system is enable through a service called Typekey. Once you are registered with Typekey you will be able to post comments on any Movabletype 3.0 or greater webllog. They have a very clear policy that they will not disclose any more information than what you allow in your profile. If you look at my profile you will see that I have opted to allow you to see a variety of information about me. All of that information is OPTIONAL.

No they do require you to divulge a minimal amount of information when you signup but the main point is to verify posters identities. We do not require your e-mail address be posted on the website. This is to keep spam out of your inbox when spammers come harvesting e-mail address's.

I encourage our readers to forward me any concerns you have directly to geek at geeknewscentral.com

Shakespeare & Co.'s performances are always lively, bawdy, and understandable. The troupe is first rate. Their performances IMO feel like Shakespeare as he was seen by his contemporaries. Yet, this performance wasn't my favorite. Too much mugging, too broad, too hectic. Yes, it's a farce with...

Sony vs. The PSP Importers - A Comedy

Sony vs. The PSP Importers - A Comedy 06/24/2005 04:03 PM

Welcome to cuckoo world! Sony, in all their majestic wisdom, has decided to hunt down and kill PSP importers in the UK. Let's read this, shall we? "The Japanese electronics giant Sony is demanding that companies importing its hotly anticipated PlayStation Portable to Britain reveal their customers' identities so the equipment can be tracked down."

Now, why would they do this? Because they are crazy? Because Sony CEO Sir Howard Lancelot Stringer Esq. has finally gone all Howard Hughes on us? Are those purchasers of Japanese PSPs in there on the Rainy Isle using them to mount an offensive against the Sony Yakuza stronghold or are they attempting to pay $400 for a game device. Next week: Sony kills and eats babies.

Sony bid to stop grey imports [Guardian]

UPDATE - Ok, so they don't eat babies so much.

Comedy = Tragedy + Distance 12/19/2003 11:36 AM
To say that The Conqueror, the Howard Hughes-backed film about Ghengis Kahn with John Wayne as the lead, is an awful film is somewhat of an understatement. Bad acting in the hot Nevada desert surrounded by radiation from the Yucca Flats lead to around 90 people getting cancer and 30 dying from it. They even shipped radioactive sand back to Hollywood for extra scenes. Lost in La Mancha doesn't seem so bad in retrospect.

David Cronenberg talks geek tech
philosphy on "Alias" TV show 12/03/2003 07:25 PM
Via "Amy's Robot" blog:

David Cronenberg was on Alias last night, playing a neuroscientist with an experimental method for recovering lost memories through the use of drugs and lucid dreaming. The episode itself is almost an homage to Cronenberg's ideas and visual style...as Sidney undergoes DC's process, the show turns into one of the more visually and conceptually cinematic bits of TV I've seen in a while, full of Cronenberg's illogical logic, layered realities, and of course the requisite bit of Cronenberg's nonsensical corniness. In any case, before the experiment gets started, DC's character offers a nice little monologue about simulation, postmodernism, lucid dreaming, and fake bacon. Watch:

Brent Simmons of NetNewsWire fame has defined a couple of new clipboard formats specifically for handling RSS feed data: RSSi ("RSS Item") and RSSs ("RSS Source"). As far as I know NetNewsWire is the only app currently using these formats so... I've whipped up a free REALbasic class module to make getting and setting RSSi and RSSs clipboard datatype easy in any REALbasic app. (If you're building a Cocoa app, check out Brent's freely-available classes). If you're creating an RSS-using app, I urge you to consider supporting these formats - the more the merrier.

Brent’s Psychic Predictions for
2004

Brent’s Psychic Predictions for
2004 12/30/2003 02:53 PM
Are RSS aggregators pretty much there, just needing some tweaks and small features—or at they still at the very beginning of their evolution, with a long road still ahead?

This question was asked on the NetNewsWire beta testing list. It’s a good question.

Answer: aggregators still have a long road ahead. What you see now is just the beginning.

I have an idea of some of the things you’ll see in 2004 (not just in NetNewsWire but in aggregators in general). So consider this as Brent’s psychic predictions for 2004.

1. Atom syndication support. Some aggregators already have this, and I suspect most will by mid-2004.

2. Synching. The idea is to synchronize not only your subscription lists but also the read/unread status of individual headlines—and to make it so it works between different apps, even apps running on different operating systems.

3. Easier subscribing. One of the problems for new users is the problem of subscribing to feeds. The “feed” URL scheme is a step forward here, because it makes it so you can subscribe to feeds directly from your browser. It also means instead of lots of ways to do this, which is inherently confusing, aggregator developers and users can collapse it down to one way. (I suspect there will be other good ideas too—especially in the realm of finding feeds.) Making all this easy for new users is a high priority.

Anyway... individual aggregators, NetNewsWire included, will add lots of other new features not listed above. The above are just the things I predict aggregators will do in common for 2004. I expect lots of innovation to come from all over, but I can’t predict what those innovations will be.

Years from now aggregators will be like email apps: we’ll know what an aggregator should do and what the UI conventions are. But for now we get to be creative, try new ideas, see what sticks. So—my last prediction—I except 2004 to be fun.
