A Single Instance of iTunes

A Single Instance of iTunes 02/10/2004 02:51 AM
What's this nonsense about only being able to run a single instance of iTunes at a time in an otherwise multi-user environment?

It's silly enough that I can share my tunes across my home network yet I can't share them with someone on the same machine. Despite keeping all my music in /Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Music, I still have to wander from account to account adding each new CD or iTunes Music Store purchase to each user's library just so that we can share _our_ (defined in the strictest sense) music. Surely your iTunes library on the local machine should show up in my iTunes window just like any other network-shared iTunes library?

You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open.
Ask the other user to quit the application, then try again.
[OK]

No, not OK.

Should I mistakenly leave "my copy" of iTunes open and wander off for a bit, there's no music for anyone until my return. No music for you! Nobody but an administrator capable of killing off other logins and processes has the ability to rectify this situation. Should every user really need to be an administrator to truly share this multi-user environment?

Bug or feature? If the former, it'd be a good one to squash. If the latter, why doesn't this feature appear in iPhoto or any of other apps (sans any DRM entanglements)?

The Search for Validation

The Search for Validation 07/06/2004 06:29 PM
Smart Mobs links to an inte resting article on how the teenagers are using blogs. The following two paragraphs make me raise my eyebrows in not completely unlike Spock -manner:

The first one I've heard from many people also in the Finnish blogosphere. Feedback is what keeps many people writing, though some are still happy just to organize their own thoughts, and don't really care if someone reads them or not.

But combined with the second one... It's amazing how naturally the teenagers consider online life a completely separate arena, one that has nothing to do with the real life. It makes me actually wonder about things like the Finnish blog awards, or the blogger meetings that are occurring everywhere. It is strange to meet fellow bloggers, indeed: many people write only of a single aspect of their life online, be it their angst at being alone or their hobbies, or their day-to-day life. Very few people pour all aspects of their life into the internet, and even then the "compression" of the bandwidth is very lossy: you only see some things, with the less interesting bits removed.

Many people have told me that they like to read their own blogs. I like to do it myself, sometimes (then again, I'm not very critical at myself :). This is not really very surprising, as it most probably is the kind of text you like to read - and also because it makes your own life to look more interesting. It's kinda like doing social pornography on yourself - something that all of us do anyway. It's no more different than looking through old photographs, or resting your eyes on your own furniture (you chose it, so it must be pleasing).

Who are you blogging really for?

Why do I write online?

I guess there is no simple answer to that. Part of me yearns for validation: the "Hey, I read your entry the other day and I liked it" -moments. Part of me is narcistic: I want to be known, scream out that my life has not been in vain. Part of it is simply about the engineers built-in desire to change things, to have impact on the world - nibble away at the corner of a huge statue so that it becomes more beautiful. Part of me wants a place to store my thoughts in some coherent order, and an important part of me just needs to write.

But I guess the most important thing are the people. Weblogs allow me to share things with the people I love, allow other people to discover me and perhaps - if I'm lucky - they become friends. What I write is only a small part of me, but it is the part I want you to see. They are things I consider important, or things that move me. Or things that are just silly and make me laugh.

I like bloggers. Blogging is not yet tainted by rampant commercialism, nor big corporations saying "we want this", or "we monetize that". Blogging is about creating something new, be it in the form of your life, or just repeating old things but in a new order. Bloggers have their own voice, some of them beautiful, and some of them not so beautiful

A New Source for Your Validation

A New Source for Your Validation 07/13/2004 08:37 PM

Since I first implemented ccValidator late last year, I've been encouraged by the amount of feedback and suggestions I've received. Common-ers everywhere have pointed out bugs, suggested improvements and encouraged it's development into a useful tool.

Today, ccValidator has a new home: validator.creativecommons. org and a handful of new features. The validator now supports metadata specified as a seperate file with a <link ...> tag, and hopefully provides some improved error messages when it runs into problems. If you have any validation links, don't worry: we're redirecting calls to the validator at yergler.net to it's new home. Go ahead, kick the tires, and drop me a line if you have a suggestion or bug report.

Client side validation

Client side validation 01/22/2004 03:09 AM

Brent Simmons: What I could do—what I’d like to do—is include Mark’s and Sam Ruby’s validator in NetNewsWire.

+1.  I'm in.

This will require some work, none of it hard.  Prereqs are Python 2.x and pyxml.  There currently are three interfaces: a CGI/web interface, a command line, and a web interface.

• The CGI/web interface contains a number of absolute paths and direct references to the host.  However, this is probably the best place to start.
• The command line interface is designed primarily for development use.  However, something like this that returns back a simple return code might be useful for your optional indicator.
• The web service interface accepts a simple HTTP POST, optionally with SOAP envelope and body elements.  This could be evolved into something that does exactly the same as the above, but without requiring any installation on the client.  Of course, this would require that the user be online at the time, and would have quite different performance characteristics.  Overall, probably not the path to pursue in this case.

In any case, none of this work is difficult, and I would be glad to do it.

Client-side validation

Client-side validation 01/22/2004 02:10 AM
Mark Pilgrim, in If people won’t go to the validator, suggests running the validator on the client rather than on the web.

Last week I got a surprising amount of requests from NetNewsWire users who’d like to have a validator built in to NetNewsWire. (Many of these people are people who test and monitor their own feeds with NetNewsWire.)

What I could do—what I’d like to do—is include Mark’s and Sam Ruby’s validator in NetNewsWire. The validator would stay out of the way by default, but it would be there for people who want it.

There’s an issue, though: the validator is open source, licensed via the Python license, and I don’t know if I can include it with NetNewsWire. (License gurus please clarify.)

But more importantly, licensing issues aside, I wouldn’t do it without Mark’s and Sam’s agreement.

(In case you’re wondering about the technical details: the validator would be included unmodified, as a set of files on disk, but inside the app package, in Contents/Resources/).

Form and Spelling Validation 10/29/2003 02:22 AM
Most dynamic web sites rely heavily on forms. From user authentication to entry of news items, we use forms to accept user input. There are many different ways we can validate data from the user. In this tutorial, we will examine several of the more common items that need validation and provide examples for each. We will also explore how to check documents for misspelled words and suggest proper replacements.

Wherefore Art Thou, Schema Validation? 07/06/2004 03:08 PM

One kink I've recently noticed in a number of 'scripting languages' geared towards producing web apps is the utter lack of support for XML Schema. I'm surprised by this, since a good Schema validator can save a lot of code when used properly.

Read on for ranting and raving.
