A Relational Model of Programming
A Relational Model of Programming
11/19/2003 04:42 PMI can't help but write a brief introduction to the basics of a
relational model of programming, to hopefully spark some interesting
discussion. It is a model developed by
Ákos Fóthi, and it fascinated
me
since the first couple of his lectures.

Town of Bourton's miniature model has a
miniature model of the model (and so on)
12/23/2003 11:30 PMMark Bourne says: So
my wife Elizabeth and I are googling up possibilities for our long
trip to England next year. Checking out London sites and so on. An
acquaintance suggested staying for a few days in the Cotswolds, a
scenic Middle Earthy region west of London. That's how we found a
page about the town of Bourton.
You just gotta love this text, which blends Ye Olde Scepter'd Isle
with sci-fi gee-wizardry:
You will probably have noticed that when you take a branch
from certain trees (some conifers for example), the branch looks like
a miniature version of the tree, and when you break a piece off the
branch, that looks like a tree too. Mathematicians call this property
self-similarity.
Bourton has a wonderful example of self-similarity: it contains a
1/10 scale model of itself. Because the 1/10 scale model is a complete
model of the town, it must contain a model of itself, and it does, a
1/100th. scale model of Bourton, and because the 1/100th. scale model
is also a complete model of Bourton, it must also contain a 1/1000th.
scale model of the scale model of the scale model of Bourton.
And it does. It is only a matter of time before a team of
nano-technicians turn up in the town to etch a sub-micron scale model
of Bourton on a silicon wafer, complete with mill, waterwheel, and a
highly imaginative interpretation of the River Windrush as a stream of
electrons.

PeterMe and Me have allot in common
06/30/2004 02:25 PMWe're trading a house in Amsterdam with our house for three weeks
in the late summer - so it was great to see this post from
Peter Merholz.
You'll be getting plenty of Amsterdam hints and tips from me soon
enough. So to start it all off, here's Peter's full post....
And hi to Peter Mitchell - we're coming dude......
Amsterdam
I know this isn't a very original sentiment, but I adore Amsterdam.
I had the opportunity to turn work-related events (a plenary at
SIGCHI.NL and Adaptive Path's 2-day workshop) into a delightful
European adventure, with more time spent in Amsterdam than any other
city.
I last visited Amsterdam in 1994, and was surprised at how little
had seemed to have changed -- which is for the better, since I loved
it back then, too.
Forthwith, a few notes on our travels in Amsterdam, with some
suggestions for other folks visiting there.
The Canals
Of course. Particularly the Prinsengracht, Keizergracht, and
Herengracht, and particularly on the west side. Peaceful, lovely,
relaxing. And with good shopping, cafe-ing, etc. It was on our first
walk of our first day that we settled into a delightful cafe at the
corner of Prinsengracht and Leidsegracht, a cafe that became our
"local." (Of course, I don't know the place's name). You can sit at
tables overlooking the canal, while drinking screwdrivers made with
fresh-squeezed orange juice. By the time we got here, we were quite
hungry, and noticed the table next to us had a plate of meat snack
appetizers. We asked our waiter for it, who at first discouraged it,
"It's raw meat--a very Dutch food." But we insisted, and it was quite
yummy.
Stacy enjoying the best screwdriver ever.
A key canal excursion are the ever-present boat tours.
Here we are, at the start of the
tour.
Though unrepentantly touristy, the tours offer a great perspective
on the city. We took the Holland International boat tour, the audio
for which was pretty lame. We heard later that the Lovers tour is widely appreciated.

Eating and Drinking
While the Dutch aren't known for their cuisine, we actually ate very
well, in large part due to helpful pointers from locals.
Perhaps the most "Dutch" food we ate was Nieuwe Hollandse - raw
herring.
The Dutch love food that can be
eaten with toothpicks. Even better if it's got a flag on it!
We had good contemporary meals at Cafe de Jaren and Cafe de Koe. De Jaren scores many
points with me, as it's a great place for coffee and reading -- they
even have library tables with the arced late placed over your reading
material.
For drinking (whether it was coffee or booze), de Balie was great --
spacious, with free-wifi. Peter turned us on to de
Zotte, a beer bar specializing in Belgian brews. Oh, and we had a
delightful afternoon coffee-turning-into-beer at Cafe in de Waag, which has a
prime spot on the Nieuwmarkt.

One of the nicest things about drinking in Amsterdam is that no
matter where you went, you could simply order a "Beer", and trust that
what would be brought (which would be whatever was the primary house
tap), would be good. So easy!
Out and About
Amsterdam is not a museum town, not like a Paris or New York. While we
were there, both the Rijksmuseum (art throughout the ages) and the
Stedelijjk (contemporary) were closed or greatly reduced. The Van Gogh Museum, however, was
open, and it's a treat unlike any other in the world. In my book, it's
the only "must-see" museum in Amsterdam. Being able to trace this
great artist's evolution is an enlightening treat.
A spot we enjoyed returning to was the Alb
ert Cuyp Markt. It's a bustling open-air market, with bargains on
everything from cheese and produce to ticky tacky souvenirs or
cosmetics. It's also a good place to score fries. We were told that
this is the best place to get fresh stroopwaffels, but
we never figured out where.
Drinking a beer near the Cuyp Markt
Amsterdam is an interesting architecture town. It's not uncommon to
see startling modern boxes next to 18th century gabled houses. One
morning, we headed out for the Java
Island, which is the site of some remarkable contemporary urban
residential architecture.

If we had been in town on a Saturday, I would have most definitely
taken the canal tour that winds through these new developments. (I
can't find reference to it online. You can get information from the
Holland International dock near Centraal Station.)
Lodging
Since we were footing our own bill our first couple of days, we stayed
at the Albay Homestay, a kind of
bed-and-breakfast without the breakfast out near Oosterpark. It was
reasonably priced (€85 a night for two people), and we stayed in
the Marhay room, which was quite spacious, and had access to a large
private garden. (Apologies -- we neglected to photograph the
lodging).The Albay is definitely out of the way for most travelers,
but it's only one block from two major tram lines that will take you
to where you want to go (Central, Museumplein, etc.).
Our next two days were paid for by the good folks at SIGCHI.NL, so
we were able to upgrade and get a little more central, and we ended up
at the Crowne
Plaza Amsterdam-American, formerly known as the "American Hotel,"
through a deal we found on Hotels.nl. This proved to be a
perfectly serviceable business-class hotel, which meant that it was
disappointing -- the American Hotel has a reputation of an art nouveau
delight, and I was hoping for nifty classic design touches. While the
exterior, and the Cafe Americain still provide the swoopy glory of
nouveau, the interior of the accommodations was renovated a few years
ago, and felt remarkably undistinctive.
Upon returning to Amsterdam, the company put us up at Dikker en Thijs, located very near
Leidseplein, along then Prinsengracht (a canal). Our room was the same
size as what we had at the Albay, only it cost more than twice as
much. Also, "service" seemed to be a novel concept -- calling down for
an iron and ironing board did no good, I had to go down there and
schlep it up. We also find out that when the list "Internet
connection" as a room facility, what that really means is that there's
an available phone jack you can use for dial up. Huh.
We had wanted to stay at 't
hotel, which looks very cool and got good notices from friends,
but it's a small place that was all booked up by the time we called
them.
Thanks
For our delightful time in Amsterdam, much thanks to Peter Boersma (and his lovely
girlfriend), Peter Bogaards
(as strapping as the photo suggests), and Tjeerd de Boer, for
pointing us in all the right directions.

Common C++ RTP 1.3.0 (Default branch)
03/24/2005 12:02 PM
Common C++ RTP is an experimental threadsafe RTP stack for use with
Common C++. It uses a service thread to both schedule outgoing packets
and organize arriving packets. Queued lists of packets are maintained
both for sending and receiving, and packet payloads can be mixed such
as for passing RTP telephony events.
Changes:
Multiple destination lists were fixed. Padding for
RTP packets was fixed, and a new padding member
function was added to enable or disable padding.
The set of required libraries is now smaller; it
now only depends on libccgnu2, and no longer
depends on libccext2.

Printer Wi-Fi Common Option
04/11/2005 01:03 PM Wi-Fi isn't exotic in printers any more: Kevin Savetz writes that
he's found the cheapest printer with built-in Wi-Fi: the Canon Pixma
iP4000R [Amazon.com link: $199 with $20 rebate]. It supports WEP and
WPA with supplied Windows software, but the online help for Mac OS X
shows only WEP support there. The HP PhotoSmart 2710 ($360 to $400)
has many functions, but also includes Wi-Fi for cable-free
connections. You can even enter the encryption key for a protected
Wi-Fi network directly into the device; it took a little digging on
HP's site, but the device supports both WEP and WPA. Savetz also notes
a couple of Wi-Fi printer adapters, but both failed at allowing Mac OS
X systems to print while he had success with the Canon and HP
printers....

Common C++ is a highly portable C++ class library
meant primarily for the development of portable
threaded applications. Support is provided both
for POSIX platforms and native builds under Win32.
The goal is to provide a truly common C++
framework for writing portable threaded
applications that do not require a huge amount of
runtime overhead to support, and hence can make
C++ and threads suitable even for the development
of trivial servers and applications.
Changes:
MIME multi-part document support was started, with
URLStream post request. Support for IPv6 in Win32
was improved.

Copyright Common Sense
03/06/2004 01:58 AMThe Cato Institute's Adam Thierer's makes good sense in
this essay on how to draw lines in the copyright debate.
Key quote:
"But how we call in the cops and who the IP
cops are makes a big difference. In particular, we shouldn’t
expect Congress or regulatory agencies to legislate on every problem
that creeps up or ban or mandate specific technological solutions in
an attempt to solve IP debates. But when certain parties are
egregiously violating the rights of copyright holders, they are
certainly justified in seeking redress in the
courts."
