Ordinary user -> XHTML

Ordinary user -> XHTML 02/05/2005 10:07 PM

Alan Williamson: I have attempted to use online editors (fckeditor/htmlArea) but they do not enforce valid XHTML and the results they produce can sometimes be a right old mess of tags  (try editing the source of a post-fckeditor saved text).  Ironically one of the common suggestions that have come from my users is their desire to use a WIKI type of input.  They are comfortable with this and it does solve a lot of UI problems. However I am finding it difficult to find tools that will actually take WIKI Markup and transform it to XHTML.

Do the closed source blog/wiki tools do a better job at going from ordinary user to XHTML?

Open the door to Andy Wilson's room, the home of a modern day wizard. No bat's toes or eel skins here. Plenty of wires, webcams, a ceiling mounted laser pointer, speakers, pieces and parts from disassembled computers, and a collection of lamps. Serious toys for a man who found his passion combining hardware and software.

Information Technology Security Resource for Developing Countries ... The World Bank infoDev program has recently published an "Information Technology Security Handbook," oriented to the needs of individuals, small businesses, governments and system and network administrators in developing countries. The Handbook is now available on-line at the above listed web site. Associated with the handbook is the first of a number of discussion forums for communication between developing country network and computer users and persons knowledgeable in security in the developed world. It is hoped that the forums can evolve as developing country needs are identified and articulated on the web site. This will be added to Security Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

RIAA drops P2P case against dead
non-computer user 02/05/2005 09:26 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: The Recording Industry Association of America is getting soft. RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy announced that they will drop their lawsuit against a woman who died last month at the age of 83 and didn't own a computer.

A group of record companies named Walton as the sole defendant in a federal lawsuit, claiming she made more than 700 songs available for free on the Internet.

Walton's daughter, Robin Chianumba, lived with her mother for the last 17 years and said her mother objected to having a computer in the house.

"My mother wouldn't know how to turn on a computer," Chianumba said.

Not Your Ordinary Knife.

Not Your Ordinary Knife. 04/04/2005 02:28 AM
N ot Your Ordinary Knife. With the post about how nasty those sharp edges can be, I'l like to show you they can have beauty, too. (From here)

I'm an ordinary person

I'm an ordinary person 03/14/2005 06:21 PM
It's always difficult to determine whether I should write in Finnish or English, when commenting Finnish blog posts. I think I'll keep writing in English though, because I know there are a bunch of expats reading this, who otherwise would get no exposure to the Finnish blogosphere.

Saara writes an ironic response to a recent Finnish article in Aamulehti by Juha Seppälä. This journalist had went through some of the blogs from the Pinseri list, and wrote a dismissive article on why "bloggers are just ordinary people who say boring things." (Some more commentary in Finnish at Anita Konkka's blog .)

Chris Anderson (the Editor of Wired-magazine) said that (and I'm paraphrasing from memory here) "as an editor my responsibility is to reach to as many people as possible, but as a blogger I just want to reach the 20 people in the world I can exchange thoughts with."

That's exactly what matters. Most blogs (WAY most) in the world have less than 20 readers. They are the "long tail" of blogging. They are the ones where people post pictures of their kittens and talk about their ordinary life using ordinary words. And other ordinary people read their blogs - but those are the people that matter to the blogger himself.

Blogging is about people. Everyone of us tries to be with people that we like and can share things (ideas, thoughts, feelings, stuff) with. We call them friends. Exposing a carefully selected part of yourself to the public is just that; sharing with people that feel the same way as you. Even the people who passionately hate something and gather a large group of enemies, tend also to gain some supporters. You write in public - people react. Who cares if it's ordinary? Ordinary matters to a large number of people. It's their life and their interests.

I don't really know most of the people reading this blog. I seem to get about 600-800 unique readers/day (2000 page views), most of which seem to be from random googlers, so perhaps I have about 200 regular readers. I know some of you, but I can only imagine what kicks the rest of you get from reading my ramblings. Granted, I also get a bit of kick out of thinking that so many people find me interesting. But truthfully, I really care only about a few of you. No offense.

I love an ordinary person. But she's also a blogger. I like to read what she writes, even though we share the same bed, because when things are written they take on a form that is different from your day-to-day life. The words on the screen have been carefully thought out, their order not as random as when we talk. Paradoxically I think it makes me understand her better, as sometimes it's easier to write your thoughts than it is to speak them.

But that's just me. Your mileage may - and should - vary.

Extraordinary, not ordinary

Extraordinary, not ordinary 12/19/2003 11:42 AM

For the second time in my life, today I felt what it was like to read an email sent by someone no longer living. It's an odd feeling to know they are in your address book but that any email sent their way will go unanswered. You can also look back at the last 2 or 3 things they sent and read them as if the messages were new. Their email address still exists, though someone else (or an auto-response script) will be bouncing the bad news from here on out.

To be quite honest, my extended family feels a lot like my extended neighbors, or any large set of strangers I've spent time with. There are a few standout pals, a sea of unknowns, and a real bastard or two all lurking among the crowd. Sure we all share a bit more body chemistry than a group of strangers, but I've never felt particularly close to people simply based on genetics.

One of the standout pals among the strangers was my great aunt (grandmother's sister on my dad's side). She spent most of her life as an educator, researching how children and the developmentally disabled learned going back into the 60s. Very early on I could tell she was different than all the other family members I knew. She stressed learning above all else and I remember during the times I got to spend with her that she taught me an important life lesson. She taught me that doing the minimum to fulfill a requirement was only doing an ordinary amount of work, and while that was satisfactory, putting in a bit more effort would yield extraordinary results. "Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary" has carried with me since I was a kid.

She was the first grown up to teach me it was ok to be smart, that excelling at what you do was important and commendable, and that other people's opinion of you didn't really matter.

I'm going to miss my Aunt Molly. I can't make the funeral this weekend, and I haven't seen her in person in almost two years, but I did get to talk to her on the phone a couple weeks ago and I planned a trip to see her at the end of this month so we could catch up. However, she went from initial diagnosis of pancreatic cancer to death in just a few weeks, surprising us all. She's gone but her lessons live on in my life and I'll continue to do my best passing them along to others. So long Molly, I love you and will miss you greatly.

"Rather's sins were the sins of a celebrity journalist, a star, also known as a bigfoot, to whom no one in CBS could tell the truth until it was too late, and the network had been put on the wrong side of the story by Bigfoot's recklessness (plus his ignorance of the Web.)"

Ordinary Language Digital ID

Ordinary Language Digital ID 04/15/2004 11:48 PM
I've just published a new issue of my newsletter, JOHO. It consists of a single article that tries to apply the ordinary language sense of ID to the Net: The term "identity" was confusing enough in the real world. Its meaning in the digital world is even more ambiguous. Since momentous decisions about the nature of online life hang on this verbal ambiguity, we need to be extra-special careful about the real-world assumptions that are guiding our expectations about digital identity. So, here's my program. Let's start with the real world meaning of identity. Then let's see if we can...

Drupal handbook going CC

Drupal handbook going CC 12/19/2004 02:55 PM

The handbook for Drupal, one of the most popular web content management systems (Spread Firefox is a recent high-profile example) has adopted Creative Commons licensing so as to

• make clear that Drupal community members can use the documentation in the Drupal handbook in other contexts, such as revising and developing site specific help docs.
• allow the integration of already existing Drupal documentation being developed outside of drupal.org by Bryght, CivicSpace, and others.
• eliminate potential legal conflicts over rights of use.

This is a good example of a community taking an existing work with a large number of contributors and obtaining the agreement necessary to take advantage of a standard Creative Commons license.

Thanks to Victor Stone for the pointer.

The Unix-Haters Handbook

The Unix-Haters Handbook 01/17/2003 12:22 AM
"I liken starting one's computing career with Unix, say as an undergraduate, to being born in East Africa. It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice and flies, you are malnourished and you suffer from numerous curable diseases. But, as far as young East Africans can tell, this is simply the natural condition and they live within it. By the time they find out differently, it is too late. They already think that the writing of shell scripts is a natural act." -- Ken Pier, Xerox PARC

Using Unix or Linux is not a one way thing. It's a love-hate relationship. It's a beautiful little os with a lot of crap layered on top and around it.
