years in a war ... with no end in sight, when the richest nation in
the world cannot manage its economy ... when the President of the
United States cannot travel abroad, or to any major city at home, then
it's time for new leadership for the United States." The ellipses
are to keep you from guessing too soon. Give up? That was Dick Nixon
in 1968. Nowadays Kennedy and Johnson are heroes who made a "mistake"
in Vietnam while Nixon twirls a handlebar mustache in Hell. But to
look back at what we thought at the time is to see parallels to today.

Stop SQL Injection Attacks Before They
Stop You
09/12/2004 11:33 PMArmed with advanced server-side technologies like ASP.NET and powerful
database servers such as Microsoft® SQL Server™, developers are
able to create dynamic, data-driven Web sites with incredible ease.
But the power of ASP.NET and SQL can easily be used against you by
hackers mounting an all-too-common class of attack—the SQL injection
attack.
The basic idea behind a SQL injection attack is this: you create a
Web page that allows the user to enter text into a textbox that will
be used to execute a query against a database. A hacker enters a
malformed SQL statement into the textbox that changes the nature of
the query so that it can be used to break into, alter, or damage the
back-end database. How is this possible? Let me illustrate with an
example.

The following blurb appeared in my RSS reader this morning:
Paul Graham: Great Hackers| In one of the
most entertaining presentations [clip] from OSCON 2004, Paul Graham
answers the questions, what motivates great hackers? [clip] What do they need to do their
jobs? How do you recognize them? [clip] How do you get them to come and

I missed Paul Graham's talk at OSCON, but caught some of the ripple
effects -- in particular, the reaction to his
trashing of Java in favor of Python. This blurb,
from the IT Conversations RSS feed, gave me a link to the clip. By
repeating the link here, in conjunction with some keywords -- "Paul
Graham Java Python" -- I'm pretty certain that in a week or so,
this
Google query will lead you to the item you are now reading, and
thence (if you're so inclined) to Graham's controversial remark, and
thence (if you're further inclined) to the complete 30-minute segment
posted by Doug Kaye at IT Conversations.

MP3 sound bites
09/06/2004 11:54 PM
In the inaugural column of this series on hypermedia, I mentioned an
MP3 clipping service I wrote to enable quotation of sound bites.
Before I explain how it works, let's review why it exists. Audio
content -- and of particular interest to me, spoken-word audio content
-- is flourishing. In the tech world, Doug Kaye's ITConversations web site is a
great example. It features audio interviews with IT personalities, as
well as recorded speeches from conferences -- including the recent O'Reilly Open
Source Convention. Kaye's audio engineering credentials are
impeccable, but nowadays anyone can pick up a microphone and speak
into an MP3 file. Today, for example, I listened to Dave Winer's thoughts on the business model for Wi-Fi and blogs, recorded
while he was driving northward in Wisconsin. In my own journalistic
work, I increasingly record and post audio interviews.
Although the amount of audio content keeps growing, the time available
for listening remains constant. Until and unless we achieve a radical
breakthrough in speech-to-text translation -- and I'm not holding my
breath -- we'll need to find another way to make audio content more
granular, and easier to consume selectively. [Full story at O'Reilly Network]
I've been using the service described here for a while now. For this
column, the second in a planned series on hypermedia, I rewrote and
published the code in hopes that others will be inspired to help move
the project forward.

Miniscule of Sound.
i've been going to summertime festivals in the uk for years, and these
guys have been on the circuit for almost a decade. It's basically a
converted horsebox kitted out on the inside with disco ball, coloured
lights, day-glo fluffy roof, light-panelled dancefloor, and a dj
(usually) dressed as one of the vilage people playing something
cheesey on a tiny pair of decks. The door staff on the outside advise
us they are "'avin it tiny!" on the way in. Club capacity is about 8,
maybe 9 at a squeeze. As clubbing experiences go, it's one of the best
and it's free. If you see them at a festie this year, pay them a
visit.

What is the Sound of One Ear Listening?
12/02/2003 12:36 AMPaul Gilster writes about the problem of audiences at events with
Wi-Fi access: The not-so-silent clacking of keys provides a sensory
backdrop much like a white-noise generator. You speak, and a constant
barrage of tippity tap tap clack clickety clack echoes in the
background. It's not symmetrical: at times, people listen and the
typing stops. Other times, one lone typer hammers away--is he or she
blogging what you're saying or playing Doom? The sounds rises and
falls randomly in different parts of the room. Interestingly, he talks
about the second level of communication being a basement meeting, but
I think he hasn't seen an O'Reilly conference in action. At Emerging
Technology in April, there were always several simultaneous channels:
it was more like instant analysis and commentary of a live event.

I have been in torture photos, too. Gerry Adams speaks out.
"News of the ill-treatment of prisoners in Iraq created no great
surprise in republican Ireland. We have seen and heard it all before.
Some of us have even survived that type of treatment. Suggestions that
the brutality in Iraq was meted out by a few miscreants aren't even
seriously entertained here. We have seen and heard all that before as
well. But our experience is that, while individuals may bring a
particular impact to their work, they do so within interrogative
practices authorised by their superiors."

Searching For Sound
Searching For Sound
05/27/2004 11:04 AMMany people have pointed out that search engines (yes, mainly Google)
are now the "front end to the internet." However, how does that work
when the internet is increasingly not just about text? Especially as
broadband catches on around the world, more and more content is audio
and visual content. Both new and old search engines are now
working on better ways to sort through
that content - using metadata and speech recognition to understand
what's being said. The article uses NPR as the main example,
describing how they use voice recognition technology to create
immediate transcripts of their audio, which are completely searchable.
They admit that these transcripts are later replaced by "more
accurate" human written transcripts, but that the automated ones work
well enough. The article also focuses on StreamSage, which seems to
be one of the more advanced tools. It uses voice recognition to
transcribe audio - but also tries to add in some contextual analysis
to create an automated "table of contents" for the file, so searching
through it is much easier.

Treo Ace: Please Be Legit
Treo Ace: Please Be Legit
06/25/2004 10:32 AM
So I've been waiting to get
some additional confirmation, but as nothing else is panning out,
there's no need to hold back the news. TreoCentral has a boatload of
information about a very-legit looking Treo 610, which they are
calling the "Treo Ace." The short list is very appealing: slightly
smaller form factor, 320 by 320 screen, working Bluetooth,
context-sensitive "soft buttons," more phone-like red/end, green/send
buttons, a 312MHz processor, and a 1.3-megapixel camera, all running
on top of Palm OS 5.4 (Garnet). Which is to say, yes, we are aroused
in a humorous but unoffensive to sensitive readers way. Making it
sound even more legitimate is the mention that the new Treo will have
only 32MB of RAM, an egregious shortcoming that most tricksters would
be too hesitant to pepper their fake with, even if it does
season it with some needful reality. Anyway, hot.

07/13/2004 09:01 AM
So I wasted way too much time this morning looking
for a better picture of these Oakley "Thump" MP3 Sunglasses, but so
far it looks like they exist soley in press release hell. They are
official now, though, which is something, although at $400 for a 128MB
version and $500 for a 256MB version, I seriously doubt many people
are going to be interested in owning a pair. Perhaps when they
inevitably drop to discount prices. There is also a rumor that another
model may be introduced incorporating Bluetooth and a microphone in
the nosebridge, but current prototypes have been too unwieldy.
The Thumps should be in Circuit Cities by the holidays. Of course,
if anyone finds a better picture than the one we ran yesterday, let me
know. (Thanks everyone who sent this in.)

08/31/2004 05:28 PMIt's still quite early in the effort to get email servers to
use
some form of authentication. While the focus lately has been
about all the various standards, and which one is going to get
adopted, many still question whether or not sender authentication
actually does anything to stop spam. A recent study certainly
suggests that spammers don't think so. It notes that
more spam than legitimate email is
currently using sender authentication. That's right. While most
companies are still figuring out exactly what's going on, spammers are
pushing ahead and publishing their own authentication records -- and
then spamming away. It doesn't build much confidence.

There's not much to go on at
the moment, but one of the Mobile9 forum users posted some purported
images of the upcoming Sony Ericsson refresh, the P910. After all the
hub bub surrounding the original leaked 'Layla' information, I don't
think it's going out on a limb too much to say that these are probably
legit -- or the work of a very talented hoaxer. With Sony pulling out
of the PDA market (everywhere but Japan), it's reasonable to expect
them to start pushing cellular handset upgrades through faster and
faster. Of course, that would imply that one organization inside of
Sony knows what the other is doing, which is sort of ridiculous,
right? Tons more images on Mobile9, if you need more convincing.
