Jon Udell: Extreme design versus extreme
programming 06/18/2002 08:16 AM
I've just returned from the What's Next conference in Brattleboro, Vermont, where I gave a pair of talks (one on web services, one on application servers). The keynote speaker for the day was Alan Cooper, designer of Visual Basic, author of several books, and founder of a company that specializes in interaction design.

Cooper's view is that the kinds of disasters that have always plagued the industry -- most recently, the catastrophic outcomes of many CRM (customer relationship management) systems -- are a result neither of poor strategy, nor of poor engineering, but of a failure to properly coordinate the two. The missing piece in his view is product planning and design, done according to a methodology that Cooper has devised and that his company practices. This methodology aligns itself with Colonel John Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop, fashionable in military circles.

Q: Markup format?

Q: Markup format? 03/14/2005 05:10 PM

Q: Which markup format do you use when posting?

Both Textile and Markdown are installed and I flip between them. When I want to post a lot of code without hassle I'll use Markdown because it seems smarter about that kind of thing. Most of the time, however, I want to just write so I'll use Textile; I find that it's a quick and mildly-intuitive way to access the various classes in my stylesheet for the myriad of things I do within this little block of space. Each has a purpose, so each gets used. I rarely enter raw HTML, and when I do it's typically to get around something broken in either markup format.

Et toi?

This entry was in Textile, for those keeping score. It is much easier to enter p(ps). or p(note). rather than <p class="ps"> or <p class="note">.

Markup in titles in RSS?

Markup in titles in RSS? 12/13/2003 08:14 AM

The RSS 2.0 spec and its predecessors may not say clearly enough if you can or can't include markup in titles. But I don't think you should include markup in titles. Titles are like file names (not exactly of course). They are a happy medium between software and people. Both must be able to read them and make sense of them, in all contexts, and do so easily. While it seems reasonable that a description may contain markup, it also seems reasonable that a title should not. So, if I were writing a validator for RSS, and encountered markup in a title, I'd warn the author that many processors would not be happy about this and it would be safer to strip the markup from the title.

Disclaimer: Scripting News is a weblog, not a spec. If you interpret it as a spec you will be making a mistake. I think I've said this quite a few times, but a few people still treat it as if I were writing a spec here. Not so. And not fair.

A postscript. I went back to see what the spec actually says, and it turns out it's not really a problem with the spec, rather with my recollection of what the spec says. Scroll to elem ents of item. It says descriptions may contain entity-encoded HTML. It doesn't say that a title may. So if that's the biggest problem people can find with the spec (which many were flaming about when I wrote it, it's not like they offered any help, btw) then it's a pretty damned good spec if you ask me.

Simple markup

Timothy Appnel: I have a new appreciation for the elegeance and simplicity of XML markup. Not that I didn't have one before its just grown the size of the Empire state building and illuminated in neon.

Obviously, I'm currently embarking on a similar mission, and share Tim's appreciation for XML.  My goals, however, are much lower than Tim's: I'm not trying to create a full markup language.  I'm applying 80/20 whenever I can: e.g., unordered lists are enough.  The times when full functionality is required, I'll  personally use full XHTML.

I'm currently looking into textile for inspiration.

A myriad of markup systems

A myriad of markup systems 04/12/2004 11:15 PM

It's hard to avoid the legions of custom markup systems out there these days. Every Wiki has it's own syntactical quirks, while packages like Markdown, Textile, BBCode (in dozens of variants), reStructuredText offer easy ways of hooking markup conversion in to existing applications. When it comes to being totally over-implemented and infuratingly inconsistent, markup systems are rapidly catching up with template packages. Never one to miss out on an opportunity to reinvent the wheel, I've worked on several of each ;)

My most recent markup handling attempt has just been published as part of my SitePoint article on Bookmarklets (cl iché). It's a structured markup language in a bookmarklet: activate the bookmarklet to convert the text in any textarea on a page to XHTML. The syntax is ridiculously simple, and serves my limited needs just fine:

= This is a header

Here is a paragraph.

* This is a list of items
* Another item in the list

Converts to:

<h4>This is a header</h4>

<p>Here is a paragraph.</p>

<ul>
 <li>This is a list of items</li>
 <li>Another item in the list</li>
</ul>

The algorithm is simple, and easily portable to any language you care to mention:

1. Normalise newlines to \n, for cross-platform consistency.
2. Split the text up on double newlines, to create a list of blocks.
3. For each block:
   1. If it starts with an equals sign, wrap it in header tags.
   2. If it starts with an asterisk, split it in to lines, make each a list item (stripping off the asterisk at the start of the line if required) and glue them all together inside a <ul>.
   3. Otherwise, wrap it in a <p> tag provided it doesn't have one already.
4. Glue everything back together again with a couple of newlines, to make the underlying XHTML look pretty.

The bookmarklet comes in two flavours: Expand HTML Shorthand (the full version) and Expand HTML Shorthand IE, which loses header support in order to fit within IE's rippling 508 character limit. A more capable bookmarklet could be built using the import-script-stub method described in my article, but the implementation of such a thing is left as an exercise for the reader (I've always wanted to say that).

Incidentally, there's a very common bug in markup systems that allow inline styles that proves extremely difficult to fix: that of improperly nested tags. Say you have a system where *text* is bold and _text_ is italic; what happens when the user enters _italic*italic-bold_bold*? Most systems (and that includes Markdown, Textile and my home-rolled Python solution) use naive regular expressions for inline markup processing and will output vadly formed XHTML: <em>italic<strong>italic-bold</em>bold </strong>. To truly solve this problem requires a context-sensitive parser, which involves an unpleasantly large amount of effort to solve what looks like a simple bug.

FML: Fiction Markup Language

FML: Fiction Markup Language 01/16/2004 11:33 AM

When is someone going to come up with Fiction Markup Language — an XML spec solely for annotating fiction? For example:

Take perhaps the greatest novel ever written: Ian Fleming's 1953 classic "Casino Royale." Let's break this down from a big chunk of text to make up something more usable.

Obviously, you could mark the chapters and section numbers, but let's go further into the actual content of the narrative. Begin by surrounding all spoken text with tags. For example:

<quote speaker="James Bond">My name is Bond, James Bond</quote>

Perhaps you can have another attribute for "target" to identify to whom he's speaking. Then I could do an XPath query to find everything James Bond said to Vesper Lynd in the entire book.

And how about locations? Surround passages with their physical location, like the casino floor, Bond's hotel room, etc. (where appropriate — wouldn't work in all situations). I could then use XPath to find all the unique locations in the book (this would be great for the globe-hopping James Bond novels).

Identify "action" passages and mark them. How about the death of a character? Mark them so I can immediately find out where Le Chiffre was killed and read how it happened.

Introductions of characters are another thing. Mark the first appearance of each character so if I can't remember who someone is, I can go back and find where they first appeared and who they are.

I'm reading Tom Clancy's "Politika" right now, and I can hardly keep track of everyone. It'd be handy to be able to print a "report" showing who everyone is. (A good ebook client implementation of this would know what page the reader was on and not report anything past that page as to not spoil anything.)

Maybe mark the beginning and ending of pages as they appeared in the original publication. And have some way for an expert to insert commentary about the text.

James Bond novels are one thing, but imagine if someone did this for, say, "War and Peace". It would be like Cliffs Notes embedded in the text of the book.

There's unexplored potential here. I can't be the first person to think of this. (And another question: is this just an attempt to completely suck the soul right out of fiction? Should we just leave it the hell alone?)

Gentoo - Now with More Irony

Gentoo - Now with More Irony 06/17/2005 03:45 PM

Daniel Robbins, the founder of my beloved Gentoo Linux, bowed out of the Gentoo community last year, setting up a non-profit organization to responsibly manage Gentoo and all of the intellectual property that surrounds it. He, along with others, created a very popular Linux distribution that provides unique benefits over the other offerings that are available. Unfortunately, open-source alone wasn't paying the bills, and Daniel had to find other work.

Mr. Robbins began his new job late last month. With Microsoft:

Gentoo founder and former Gentoo Chief Architect Daniel Robbins began a new position at Microsoft on 23 May 2005. According to drobbins: "I'm helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects." While in the midst of hastily packing to move to Redmond, [Robbins] nonetheless managed to find the time to finalize the transfer of Gentoo's intellectual property (essentially copyrights on ebuilds and other software as well as soon-to-be trademarked Gentoo logos) to the not-for-profit Gentoo Foundation, Inc.

Best of luck to him, but it strikes me that without Gentoo, I might not have gotten rid of most of the Microsoft products that I owned. I just hope that "helping Microsoft understand open source" doesn't mean "unwittingly helping Microsoft understand how to get rid of the 'open source problem'".

New Blu-ray Details Emerge

New Blu-ray Details Emerge 08/05/2004 10:18 AM
Specifics have been murky about how the Blu-ray Disc format can succeed DVD by enabling the recording of high-definition content. But the companies behind the format have recently tipped their hand to their strategy, including future enhancements.

DVDs don't have the storage capacity to accommodate an entire movie in high-definition format but Blu-ray Disc does. That's largely because it uses blue lasers to read and write data on the disc, rather than the red lasers used by DVD. A blue laser makes a smaller spot on the disc surface, which means the space required for one bit of data is smaller--and more data can be fit onto a 12-centimeter disc.
