Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

In the spirit of the tradition, students left detailed instructions for the safe removal of the decoration.

Mac OS X Panther Hacks

Mac OS X Panther Hacks 08/11/2004 06:15 AM
I finally got round to reading my copy of the wonderful O'Reilly Mac OS X Panther Hacks book, which, like all of the hacks books, is clever, informative, well-organised and useful; this one has the additional merit of having been co-written by my pal Rael Dornfest, who edits the line, and is witty, silly and very imaginative indeed. The hacks assembled in the text range from surprising things you can do with iTunes and iCal to hacking AppleScript to making OS X cooperate with perl and Python, but my favorite of all is the iOscillate: an iSight camera mounted to the top of a de-bladed oscillating desk-fan, so that the fan sweeps the iSight back and forth in a steady, 180-degree arc, covering all those seated around a table or in a conference. The hack is truly worthy of the appellation "hack" -- it's ingenious, funny, and actually useful in a seriously bent way. Link

OCLC Hacks

OCLC Hacks 02/01/2005 10:09 PM

OCLC is is loosening up and having some fun in a Google Labs kind of way!

OCLC Research Software Contest

“In celebration of libraries and their heritage of technological innovation, OCLC Research is sponsoring a software contest to encourage innovation in the use of web-based services for libraries.

Prize

• $2,500 in cash
• Visit with OCLC Online Computer Library Center Inc., in Dublin, Ohio
• Potentially have your code incorporated in OCLC services for libraries

The challenge

OCLC is providing a set of bi bliographic records extracted from WorldCat plus a set of services:

• Research Works
• Terminology Services

You may also use Open WorldCat, either by simply incorporating links to publicly accessible records or by enrolling in Open WorldCat's Partner Access program. Contact us if you wish to discuss enrolling in this program for the purposes of this contest.

Your mission is to write a program that does something interesting and innovative with the WorldCat data using at least one of the OCLC-provided services. You must submit a working prototype.

Part of your job is to convince us of why your program is interesting and why it will help libraries and/or library users; other than that, you're free to implement whatever strikes your fancy.”

And they were smart enough to ask Jon Udell to be a judge – good call! I hope we see some really cool stuff come out of this, in more than just a proof-of-concept way. Makes me wish I could actually program. Entries are due by midnight on May 15. If you’re entering, good luck!

Spidering Hacks

Spidering Hacks 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
The latest book in the O'Reilly Hacks series, "Spidering Hacks," (written by Kevin "Morbus Iff" Hemenway and Tara "ResearchBuzz" Calishain) is out. It's the site-scraper's bible, with 100 tips and tricks for sucking in data from the Web.

Spidering Hacks takes you to the next level in Internet data retrieval--beyond search engines--by showing you how to create spiders and bots to retrieve information from your favorite sites and data sources. You'll no longer feel constrained by the way host sites think you want to see their data presented--you'll learn how to scrape and repurpose raw data so you can view in a way that's meaningful to you.

Written for developers, researchers, technical assistants, librarians, and power users, Spidering Hacks provides expert tips on spidering and scraping methodologies. You'll begin with a crash course in spidering concepts, tools (Perl, LWP, out-of-the-box utilities), and ethics (how to know when you've gone too far: what's acceptable and unacceptable). Next, you'll collect media files and data from databases. Then you'll learn how to interpret and understand the data, repurpose it for use in other applications, and even build authorized interfaces to integrate the data into your own content.

NetNewsWire Display Hacks

NetNewsWire Display Hacks 09/23/2004 07:41 PM
In the full version of NetNewsWire 2.0 are a couple display hacks. One is document ed by Jon Hicks. Another is a hack to add indenting to the datelines and summaries display in the headlines table.

We added the ability to show datelines in the headlines table mainly for the benefit of people using the widescreen layout. (Choose View > Layout > Show Datelines in Table.) This removes the columns and puts a dateline below each title. (Thanks go to Alex King for suggesting this feature.)

There is no exposed preference for adding indenting to the datelines—but you can add it manually via the Terminal.

1. Quit NetNewsWire if it’s running.
2. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
3. Type the below and hit return.
   defaults write com.ranchero.NetNewsWire summaryTableIndentPixels 15
   (Make the number the number of pixels you want to indent.)
4. Launch NetNewsWire. (Be sure that showing datelines and/or summaries is turned on, or you won’t see any effect.)

You end up with something like in the screen shot above (click for a larger version).

Another hack, similar to the above, allows you to set the number of summary lines when showing summaries is on. The key is summaryLinesToInclude.

We call these hacks because you have to use the Terminal to change the settings and also because they’re unsupported. But I couldn’t resist telling you about them.

I woke up to a fabulous / . review of Google Hacks.

Google Hacks by Tara Calishain and Rael Dornfest and published by O'Reilly will appeal to an even wider audience, I can imagine buying this for friends who haven't cottoned on to 'net searching at all and friends who complain "Google returns too many sites." People who are afraid to code shouldn't be put off by the "Hacks" in the title: O'Reilly have obviously taken a wider meaning of "hack" than just a neat piece of code. This book is a marvelous compendium of tips and tricks for Google, ranging from simple ways of getting the search results you want, through using Google's newer services such as phone books and image search, all the way to advanced ways of using scrapers and the Google API.

O'Reilly just posted some of the Google Hacks online in their entirety. I chose one of my favourites, "NoXML, Another SOAP::Lite Alternative".

Real Hacks the iPod

Real Hacks the iPod 07/26/2004 09:01 AM

CNET: RealNetworks breaks Apple's hold on iPod. RealNetworks announced Monday that it has unlocked some of Apple Computer's most tightly held technology secrets, giving its music a way onto the popular iPod digital music player.

There's good news in this announcement, namely the fact that Real is forcing a tiny bit more openness on Apple, which has been trying for a winner-take-all approach to digital music. More choice, and less lock-in, by these companies is always a good idea. But Real is no prize when it comes to locking customers into another box: the one the music industry has created with its insistence on absolute control over digital music. Real's approach to selling songs is not that at all: It says you're only renting them. At least Apple says you (mostly) own what you're buying. Nonetheless, this is progress of a sort.
