Notice Anything Different?

Notice Anything Different? 01/25/2003 11:53 PM

If this isn't your first trip to my website, you've no doubt noticed some changes. For a few days now I've been quiet and haven't posted to the site at all. That is because I was making the changes you see. And there are many changes, in fact. First, and most obviously, the visual appearance of the site is totally different. The old design was too bland; I myself grew bored with it. Second, and perhaps the biggest technical change, I no longer use pMachine as the backend for the site. pMachine is wonderful, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a CMS. However, the new system, which I wrote from scratch with PHP, mySql, and some Apache settings, addresses many of the reasons I did not want to keep pMachine:

• Size: pMachine is very big, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is big because of the sheer number of features it has, almost all of which I did not use. My new system is very small, both in file size and database utilization, and does what I need it to do. And adding features will not be too difficult.
• Ease of Use: I mean this from a user's point of view, not mine. With pMachine, the process of linking to one of my entries was not as semantically logical as I would have liked. For instance, a permanent link to a previous entry may have looked like this, http://www.readinged.com/index.php?id=P30, while in the new system, permanent links look like this, http://www.readinged.com/blog/30/. Similarly, the URL's for archive pages and RSS feeds are much more clear.
• Impersonal: Let me again repeat that I do like pMachine, and it is a good system, but I never felt too attached to it. I like to write my own systems. pMachine was initially intended to get this site going quickly and then to write my own blogging system.

I will write more on my new blogging system in the coming days, and I plan to release it to download when I complete it. I still need to write a good administration interface for it, implement a categories system, and I plan on beefing up its RSS capabilities. You will be able to get an RSS feed for almost any criteria (i.e. posts between specific dates, posts about a certain topic, and searches returned as RSS).

Also new in this design is a dynamic commenting system. Go ahead and click on the comments link after any post, and you should see what I mean. This is a system I developed for Stonefishspine, and have wanted to use on my own site ever since. This new design enables me to do so, and the commenting system works any almost all current browsers. As of right now, older browsers without sufficient support of the Javascript DOM will not be able to post comments. I am working on the non-dynamic version of this system and it should be ready within a few days. Currently, I know that versions of Opera older than 7Beta and some versions of Internet Explorer for the Macintosh will not be able to post comments.

I'd really like to hear any comments (good or bad) about the redesigned site. You can email me at ed@readinged.com. Watch in the next few days for additional information about the new site design.

Update (4:00pm): I would like to mention that even with this new design, your old permalinks will still work. Also, if you are using an RSS aggregator that pulled my old RSS file, it will still work as well. But please see if you can get it changed to the new URL as I will remove support for the old one eventually.

I have to agree with Jim on the current weather in the US. When I left for classes this morning it was seven degrees outside (and much less with the wind chill). There should be a law against that kind of cold.

TPA membership Termination Notice

TPA membership Termination Notice 04/01/2005 03:24 PM

For years I have run a BBS (Bulletin Board Service) and have been a member of the Trialware Professional Association. That website at current count has allowed on my dime the download of 85,632,109 Shareware Programs. That is in a 15 year time spread from the days of dial-up systems to modern Internet based BBS systems.

So what do I get in e-mail today from the TPA
-----------------------------------
I regret to inform you that your membership in the Trialware Professional Association has been terminated.

This is due to your use the term "shareware" on your site. As you should know a driving force of the TPA is to disuade people from using this term.

Consider re-applying for TPA membership when you agree with the TPA mission and rules.

http://www.trialware.org/mission.html

Please do not reply to this message. Due to lack of volunteers replies cannot be returned. Questions should be asked on the TPA newsgroups.

Regards
------------------------------------
Apparently this is some new policy in place like I really knew that this was part of their mission statment. I probably visit there site like once a year. It is obvious that shareware authors are getting sensitive to the word SHAREWARE. Here is what I am going to do I will systematically remove every TPA members files from my website and never again will I apply to be a TPA member. Getting all upset over the word SHAREWARE, hello. Probably the website administrator was still wearing diapers when the term was coined.

Will Anyone Notice Netscape's Return?

Will Anyone Notice Netscape's Return? 05/27/2004 11:04 AM
While most people had written off the Netscape browser, assuming that AOL had all but left it for dead when they spun off Mozilla, it turns out that AOL really is planning to release a new version of the browser, which basically has everyone asking: but why? Mozilla, on its own, seems to be getting some traction, and Netscape will still be based on Mozilla. Meanwhile Opera is still innovating in the browser space and the Mac folks still seem to like Safari. At the same time, most of the known universe is still stuck on IE and don't see any reason to change (despite there being plenty of good reasons). So, the question is where does Netscape fit into this space, and what does AOL hope to get out of it? No one expects AOL to add any significant features to Mozilla, and the average AOL user is still stuck on AOL's own browser (which is still based on IE). About the only reason anyone can come up with for this release is that there are still some folks using older Netscape technology, and therefore AOL decided to refresh it. Perhaps that defines AOL's strategy these days: "Let's just kind of stick with what we have and refresh it periodically and hope that no one realizes there's a lot of other stuff out there." No wonder users are bailing out by the hundreds of thousands.

If people don't notice it, it's not
architecture... 11/15/2003 07:42 AM

I've just caught up on my Dre amspaces and been confronted with a conundrum. In a piece about brutalist architecture, they featured the Tricorn centre in Portsmouth. Here's a picture of the building in question:

Now, this building hasn't had the most illustrious of histories. It was built in 1966, given an award in 1967 and voted Britain's fourth ugliest building in 1968. It is generally reviled by the public and will not be protected by government by being listed. But when the architect - Rodney Gordon - is asked about the general distaste towards his building, he replies:

"Well I'm very surprised. A lot of people liked the building. One thing I do find is that any piece of architecture worth being called architecture is usually both hated and loved. If people don't notice it, it's not architecture."

That last phrase seems extraordinary to me - stunning in its arrogance and audacity and completely in opposition to most of the understandings of design and architecture that I've accumulated over the last ten years. That kind of ostentatious statement of impact above function was given up within the first ten years of web design. What Gordon is talking about is the construction of follies - buildings with little or no function but to inspire and awe. Unworkable spaces, unusable spaces. We have them on the web too - sometimes even intentionally - either as art or design showcases or as image-based impactful press prelease or advertising spaces. But this is different. This is a site - a space - designed for shopping and socialising that wants desperately to be innovative and impressive - the architect all the while dismissing the subtle and less overt arts of flows and usability, building things that are not scaled for humans or comprehensible to them. All the things that allow a place to be understood by people are dismissed as unworthy of the name of architecture. And why - because the building must be noticed... It's stunning. It's terrible. And I'm fairly sure it's wrong.

Short Notice Music Metadata Summit

Short Notice Music Metadata Summit 04/12/2004 06:08 PM

We're hosting a very short notice music metadata summit tomorrow 3-6PM (Pacific) on the Stanford campus and online (IRC).

We hope to come to decisions on several concrete issues, including metadata for tipjars, license buyouts, purchasing, and "remix ready" content as well as discuss how various music metadata-related projects can better collaborate and encourage adoption by others.

Thanks to Christopher Allen and Magnatune for the idea, and a visit by Rob Kaye of MusicBrainz for a reason to do it now.

See you there, or in the ether.

Runner To Notice Synergy 04/22/2004 01:26 PM
Seems like an awful lot of AOL news today... Despite AOL and Time Warner merging over three years ago, it seems that they just realized that maybe (just maybe) there's some synergy between AOL and Time Warner's Road Runner service. People have been asking for ages when they would work together, and the answer is apparently now (finally). AOL and Road Runner have announced a plan to team up for broadband. In exchange for having AOL offer up Road Runner connections, Time Warner will be offering a channel of AOL content on their website - which should interest about three or four people.
