Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down

Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down 04/22/2004 10:44 AM
There are many reasons I love the Internet, but the fact that weblogs like Louise Garston's exist would have to be one of them. "Nice cup of tea and a sit down" is the Internet hub for cake, tea, and biscuits. That's it. Period. Simple. It's totally sincere and sweet, and full of breaking news about which flavor of jam is most popular for discriminating toast aficionados, newly resurrected teas, and so on. Sometimes, Louise posts tea-and-biscuit related art, like a portrait of "Two little old space-alien ladies having a nice sit down." At present, Louise is pretty worked up about the fact that the "iconic" biscuit known as Tim Tams have recently become available to UK consumers, after a long and ardurous struggle. "Tescos sell them now," says Louise. "Hooray, you have to tell everyone, they're fantastic! Enjoy!"

A couple quick things: I thought it was cool that blogging software company Six Apart republished an essay by Adaptive Path on the failings of Content Management Systems, all about software of the type Six Apart develops. It's all in accordance with Adaptive Path's license, which allows commercial redistribution.

Another cool thing was seeing Blogcritics.org do a "featured content of the week" type feature we've done in the past here. Phillip Winn found eight amazing photos at Flickr, and posted links to check them out, all available under Creative Commons licenses.

One of the things collectors are always asking about are more playsets. Friend to Rebelscum and top notch customizer Steve Ceragioli gives us a glimpse of what 'could be' with his take on the vintage Dagobah playset from The Empire Strikes Back line. Considering how nice the upcoming Dagobah wave looks, we feel it's hightime Hasbro gives serious consideration to a few of these great playsets from the past.

What a Nice Day

What a Nice Day 12/16/2002 12:12 PM
It is really snowing hard outside. But it's not quite cold enough for it to accumulate to anything significant. I only wish I had a camera to capture it, this one, specifically. With U2 playing in the background, and no real plans for today, it's really a nice morning. If you've come here from Stonefishspine, welcome. If you haven't, you're okay too. Over the weekend I spent a lot of time collaborating (coblogerating?) with G.K. Nelson of Stonefishspine on a new kind of commenting system to integrate with pMachine, a blogging (Content Management) system. I'm very happy with the end result. If you'd like to see it, head over to Stonefishspine and click on one of the "Comments" link under any entry. The system uses one part PHP, and two parts DOM-compatible Javascript. The whole thing only required about four lines of additional code added to pMachine, on top of its own files, which aren't too large. If it doesn't work for you, its likely because your web browser has lack-luster (I've never actually typed that phrase before) support for the Javascript DOM. So far, GK and I have confirmed that IE6/Win, Mozilla Win/Mac, and Opera 7 handle the system just fine. IE/Mac doesn't seem to like it, though; I'm working on it. From my coding perspective, two things were crucial in designing the sytem. One, if the user's browser didn't support the Javascript DOM, they would still be able to comment, via a popup window. For example, try to comment in Opera 6 and you'll get the standard commenting popup window which can see the same comments the dynamic version does. This brings me to the second important point, pMachine compatibility. I determined early on that if I was going to make the system work fluidly with pMachine, I would a.) have to do a lot of coding, or b.) figure out a way to make it work with pMachines existing infrastructure. In the case of the former, compatibility may have been lost in the next pMachine release. However, because of how pMachine is designed, I was able to use the latter approach. Because of this we were able to complete the project in just over a day and a half, instead of a week I think it would of taken if I had to make it interact is pMachines database system, which would of involved talking to three different tables. Because of this simple interaction with pMachine, the whole system would be easily ported to other people's installations of pMachine. Likely, at some point in the future when all the bugs are worked out, the entire system will be available to anyone who wants it. I may even have to enable commenting on my installation of pMachine to take advantage of the system. :)

Wouldn’t be great if you could make your car frown when someone cuts you off on the freeway? Well if Toyota’s inventors have their way, you will be able to express your feelings through your car without the risk of road rage. A car that can smile? It almost seems reminiscent of the “Love Bug” or KIT from “Knight Rider” doesn’t it?…

Medium Footwear's collection of new shoe designs look pretty cool. They seem right about midway between skate shoe and hipster shoe to me (tending towards hip for the sake of being hip), which is what I'm currently liking in my shoes.

I'd point to my favorite shoe designs, but their assy flash interface doesn't let me link directly to them.

The joy of a nice knife

The joy of a nice knife 12/19/2004 03:21 PM
One of the things I realized while working at the restaurant on Nantucket was how dull my knives were at home. At Fifty-Six everyone's knives were razor sharp, and it made slicing and dicing nearly effortless, albeit dangerous. When I got home I got a stone and spent about an hour sharpening my two knives: an 8" chef's and a 4" paring, both from Henckels. (I have a few other knives, but I find I never use them. These two do the trick for all my home cooking needs.) Today's New York Times looks at knives and the trend for Japanese knives in, When a Knife Is the Gleam in a Cook's Eye. There's a whole world of useless kitchen gadgetry out there, junk that will clutter your cabinets and ultimately make little difference in the quality of food you cook. But knives are an exception (another exception: pots/pans). Quality knives make all the prep jobs easier because they provide more control and cleaner cuts, and they're a pleasure to use. While they are expensive, they last forever and are a worthwhile investment. I bought my 8" in 1995 and have used it nearly every day since. My 4" was purchased in 1998. As the gentleman says at the end of the Times article, "You know you've got the right knife when you're getting as much joy from preparing dinner as you are from eating it."

I was looking at an old blog entry here when I was surprised to find my first trackback spam. Free asian rape beastiality being offered directly from an old post! Then I dug around and sure enough, there were over 200 spammy trackbacks sent from January 5th through the 20th.

What's funny about it is that I can see how someone built and tweaked their spam cannon. On Jan 5, a person started at (probably using it as an open proxy) 24.247.37.201.up.mi.chartermi.net and sent a couple test pings of gibberish, then when they realized it worked, they waited eight hours for me to delete them. When I didn't delete anything the onslaught began, and over the course of three attacks, hundreds of old entries advertised all sorts of crap sites.

I read the recent interview with a link spammer and it sucks that people stoop to doing anything for a buck. So, instead of worrying about this any longer or having to check off 200+ delete boxes again, I turned off trackbacks. See you in hell, mr. jackass seo spammer who will never read this nor care.

bittorrent is nice, but...

bittorrent is nice, but... 01/08/2004 08:18 PM

...there's always a 'but' isn't there?

I had attempted to use BitTorrent a couple of times before, but never spent more than a few minutes with it, not enough to understand what was going on. Yesterday night though, I gave it a little more time and some tips from Russ and Matt I could get it going. I had to adjust some settings, such as the bandwidth allocated for uploads, which defaulted at 12 KB/sec and immediately started to suck up my entire upload capability (I set it at 7 KB/sec). I chose a couple of files (three actually) and let it download overnight. This morning, things were well on their way, two files done, the remaining one halfway through. But then it hit me: my transfers are limited!

I have a 4GB transfer limit (as it's common here in Ireland) on my DSL connection. So now I have downloaded, in one day, over 1.5 GB of data, and still have 1 GB to go. Then, there's the uploaded data, which also counts. EEk! By the time the second transfer is finished I will have spent over 75% of my monthly bandwidth allotment. With 60% of the month still to go!

Damn. I want to go back to my good old days of DSL in the Bay Area, where I had a symmetric 768 KB/sec DSL connection, with no transfer limits, at $40 a month. Okay, that's not realistic. :) But on the other hand, until transfer limits are removed (or at least raised) here, I won't be able to do much with BitTorrent. Too bad.

And, btw, this clearly has to have an impact on broadband usage. Forget about BitTorrent specifically, other types of media transfers are also quite heavy, and having that sword hanging over your neck (the sword being whatever they charge per megabyte after you cross the transfer limit) users will be more likely to treat broadband as a kind of always-on modem, rather than as true broadband. Ireland is great, for technology in particular, but it definitely needs some serious improvements to both infrastructure and access to that infrastructure (see my post on mobile handset costs yesterday) to be truly competitive. There's a qualitative jump (both on the supplier and the consumer side of a market) that happens when connectivity is pervasive, always-on, fast, and relatively inexpensive, and Ireland isn't there yet. Here's hoping we won't have to wait much longer.
