Robots.txt Support is (Partially) Implemented

I just wanted to let people know that we've now partially implemented Robots.txt.  Now before anyone flames on, I can just let you know that the main Feedster spider, the thing that checks sites regularly, is using Robots.txt.  We're grabbing it once per week, every Sunday.  Please note that there is NO standard for how frequently you grab it and this is what we decided.  If more frequent is needed, let us know.

And please bear in mind that if you use robots.txt to turn off our indexing of your blog (which is fine) then we will still periodically check your url to make sure that you haven't changed your mind.  If you want us to just go the heck away, never touch you, etc., then you have to let us know personally since we'll flip the database bit that says "A real live human made an intelligent reasoned decision to opt out of Feedster so we're never bothering them again unless they specifically ask us too".

As per the ill defined robots.txt spec we look for robots.txt in the root directory of a weblog.  If your blog is located at http://radio.weblogs.com/0103 807/ then this means that we're looking for the file http://weblogs.com/robots.txt .  Subdomains and blogs are way, way, way too random for us to check every possible location. 

Now where Robots.txt isn't doing yet is handling images.  The reason for this is we use a separate crawler to handle Images and, in particular, we have to do a bunch of path analysis to compare relative to absolute paths and the whole issue of www and no www.  So while we're making progress, the current implementation is, indeed, buggy and hence turned off.  We'll get it in as soon as possible but with Gnomedex this week and my traveling to, of all places, Des Moines, Iowa, this isn't really likely.  At least not a stable, reliable version.

Gavi notes: "[A] connection is being opened for every keystroke and is not a good idea...Google Suggest is probably running by having all the suggestion words in main memory and a custom webserver that does nothing else."...

Grant Hutchinson over at Splorp.com is reporting on a new and ultra geeky podcast called Green Light Go which bills itself as being "dedicated to our green friend the Newton, the eMate, all its cousins, everyone who uses, develops for and enjoys our little green friend." It is not clear at this time whether or not it is possible to actually download podcasts to a Newton with the same ease that iPod owners enjoy, but if there is a way, the Newton community will find it.

eBay: Apple/Siemens Newton NotePhone 09/07/2004 02:24 PM

I was never really into the Newton, but I hadn't realized they made a combination phone device like this Siemens NotePhone (probably because it was Europe-only). Not only did the NotePhone have a 336 x 240 screen (still decent), the unit added telephony and voice mail to the Newton itself, which could also be removed and used seperately. This auction is over, but there weren't any bids, so I bet you could still pick it up if you wanted to.

His starting bid was $365 (!), but they apparently used to sell for over a grand.

Rational calendar with 364 days, extra
week celebrating Isaac Newton

Rational calendar with 364 days, extra
week celebrating Isaac Newton 01/04/2005 08:35 AM
Cory Doctorow: An American physicist has developed a "rational" calendar of 364 days, in which each date falls on the same day of the week every year, thus saving profs the bother of drawing up new homework schedules every September.

His constraints meant eight months would have different lengths than they do now. March, June, September, and December would each contain 31 days, while the other months would each get 30. To keep the calendar in synchronisation with the seasons, Henry inserted an extra week - which is not part of any month - every five or six years. He named the addition "Newton Week" in honour of his favourite physicist, Isaac Newton.

"If I had my way, everyone would get Newton Week off as a paid vacation and could spend the time doing physics, or other activities of their choice," he says.

Despite this incentive, Henry says he has encountered resistance to his plan - mainly because people would be "stuck" with a birthday that always falls on a Wednesday, for example. Henry, who is among that group, is not moved by the argument. "You have my permission to celebrate your birthday the preceding or following Saturday," he says.

Connectivity

Connectivity 06/28/2004 08:07 PM

The irony of being at a computer conference with all this wonderful technology is that it’s just about impossible to connect to the Internet.

I was able to get on earlier today for just enough time to post to my weblog—and now, many hours later, I’m at a nearby Starbuck’s, since it’s the only place that seems to have working Internet.

I haven’t been able to check my email since Saturday. (There’s a ton! It’s downloading now...)

Anyway, there’s a good chance the networking situation will be better tomorrow. As I recall, last year it was worst on the first day, then after that it was better.
