Two thumbs up for Mambo. I'm experienced with a few different CMSs and
decided to try
Mambo because I was building a site on a site that had a lot of
limitations (one database
and no access to the php.ini).
What a relief it was to use. Finally something that breaks the Nuke
mold. Its really slick and
easy to hand off to non-technical people. You dont have to disable a
lot of features that
youll never use.
Time for loving
Time for loving
09/17/2004 02:38 AMI can't believe how much I love FuzzyClock. If
you've never heard of it, it's a simple app that puts the current time
into natural language. So instead of 2:53 it will say "ten til three."
At first I thought the lack of accuracy could be a problem, but I've
got lots of meetings and have never been late (just wait until it says
"shortly before eleven" and you'll be on time for it). Here
is what it looks like on my current menu bar (also running:
audioscrobbler, slimbattery, and instiki).
On the surface, it simply saves you a half-second of converting the
numbers 3:41 into "about twenty to four" in your head, but in practice
it removes a small mental tax you put yourself through
dozens-to-over-a-hundred times per day. After months of running this
app in place of the standard clock (I disabled it in my OS prefs and
run fuzzyclock on startup), I feel liberated in a small way. I've
spent my life surrounded by clocks and never realized how much easier
it is to read "half past twelve" than reading numbers.
Last week, I noticed Flickr
does timestamps on comments this way, which is a great idea and
something I should really do at metafilter. Someone's already written
a
function for it in PHP, I'm sure it'll be a MT plugin soon, if it
isn't already.

me, the suite would be a bargain even at twice the price. Its newest
addition is an addictive music-creation program. Called GarageBand, it
is simple enough for those of us whove never touched a keyboard or
strummed a guitar yet advanced enough to appeal to a polished
practitioner. [Mar 1]

01/16/2004 01:02 PM
I tend to listen to same songs over and over with my eyes
half-closed. Many
of the songs I am enjoying of late are Norah Jones songs. She
sings very well
but I enjoy her songs because they are easy to sing. Here are
some of her songs
I like:
-
Come Away with Me (sleepy seduction)
-
Don't Know Why (fast moody jog)
-
Lonestar (best on horseback)
-
One Flight Down (slow moody swaying)
-
Shoot the Moon (excellent guitar!)
-
Cold Cold Heart (nice rythm)
If you haven't discovered Norah Jones yet, check her out.

Loving and Hating iTunes
Loving and Hating iTunes
12/19/2003 11:54 AMA new PC World music column explores iTunes and how it changed the
world of digital music. Stressing the superiority of iTunes for
Windows over many competitors, the article does mention several
concerns. One such issue is the way Apple updates iTunes, not as
patches, but as complete version upgrades, meaning many-megabyte
downloads. Another concern is difficulties moving songs from a work
computer to a home computer, and the fact that an iPod cannot be used
to do this. The article...

01/17/2004 10:48 PMI am being forced to watch the Finnish qualification for the
Eurovision Song
Contest. Dear Lord. This is like watching Idols - the first few
rounds. You know, the ones with the acne-faced idiots who actually
think they can sing?
Well. The only difference that I can see here is that all of the
singers are pretty (and red-haired), and that the songs are new. But
why, oh why, do we continue to embarrass ourselves by thinking that
someone in Europe would actually be interested in this crap? And why
do we keep thinking that we have to do well in this stupid contest to
be accepted? Well, now they at least have songs performed by a
Norwegian, in English, written by a bunch of people none of have a
Finnish name...
Who the fuck thinks of lyrics like "mouse in the misery - cheese
in his memory"? WHAAAT!?! And they have one of the people from
the Swedish Survivors performing, too! And someone, please kill the
bloody hosts! "Du gick en pojkvän där? That was Swedish.
Heheheheh." This is would be damn near intolerable, if I wasn't
laughing my ass off...
Well, luckily there are few songs 16 year old Lagavulin and good
company can't improve. ;-)
(OK, I'll have to give it to one performer: she can actually sing, pronounce English
and look pretty at the same time. Something which seems to be very
difficult for the rest of the performers.)

EFF reviews freedom-loving MacOS
high-def TV toy
01/05/2005 07:09 PMCory Doctorow:
With only half a year left until the FCC criminalizes watching
television without
DRM (thanks to the loathsome Broadcast Flag), it's time to start
stocking up on open hardware that can tune, record and manipulate
digital TV signals without Hollywood's irrational, paranoid shackles.
If you've got a Mac, that means scoring one of El Gato's new EyeTV
500s, a device that can move digital TV shows form your rabbit ears or
your cable wire to your Mac in glorious high-def, as plan-jane MPEGs
that you can manipulate, share, rip, mix and burn till the cows come
home.
My cow-orker Fred von Lohmann, EFF's Senior Intellectual Property
Lawyer, is also a certified hi-fi nut, gearhead, and gadget freak. He
scored a review-unit of the EyeTV 500 and wrote up a review of its
freedom-enhancing capabilities.
As a demo of those capabilities, EFF is hosting a five minute high-def
clip from Fellowship of the Rings (Torrent
Link), which occupies a thunderous 500MB of hard-drive (!). The
studios argued that the Broadcast Flag was necessary to keep viewers
from sharing high-def movies over the Internet -- at 500MB per five
minutes, that seems a little far-fetched.
The tiny silver lining here is that if you can get an open,
freedom-loving digital television tuner between now and the summer,
you'll be able to go on doing practically anything you like with the
digital television you receive over the air and with your unencrypted
cable signal. If you choose to do this by plugging a DTV tuner into
your computer, you'll be able to archive your shows on your
hard-drive, manipulate them with your favorite editing software, and
email clips to your friends.

« Three wise men gape in wonder at the crowds paying good money
to go see the final (we hope) Star Wars movie. »
We must have been the last people in Helsinki to go see the final
Star Wars movie last night judging by the tiny size of the crowd in
the theatre. The highest praise one can give this movie is that it
"sucks less than the previous two movies" which isn't an encouraging
sign that anyone is going to go see it more than once in the theatre.
After seeing the original seven or more times when it was first
released in 1977, this movie serves only as closure and release from
nearly 30 years of waiting for the damn thing to end. Had I known then
that I'd have to wait so long and be so apathetic by the time the end
arrived maybe I'd not have been so excited about the movies when I was
younger.
George Lucas must have forgotten what made the first movie so
incredible; a fun story, characters that we gave a damn about and a
bit of creativity used to make it all seem believable. The last three
movies are all about the special effects with little else to go on
since the actors deliver their lines as though there's a teleprompter
outside the camera frame and the characters are hard to love given
their two-dimensionality. At least Obi-Wan has some redeeming
qualities and even delivers the all important "I have a bad feeling
about this" line that is uttered in every single movie and, like
Hitchcock making a cameo in his movies, leaves you with something to
look forward to. It ain't much, but it's something.
Palpatine making his transformation to Darth Swamp Thing did provide
some comic relief as all 15 people in the theatre will attest to, but
much of the movie was a colossal cosmic bore. I was checking my watch
more than 30 minutes before it ended when it seemed like we had been
sitting there for an eternity. Anakin is a walking illustration of why
'young and stupid' is one of the immutable constants in the universe,
too. And the not very subtle comparison of Sith Lords and Bush was
pretty lame in spite of my political leanings. Boring.
There was nothing that made this story human, it was all special
effects and set-ups for merch like video games and action figures. I
suppose Hollywood figures that special effects can make even the most
lacklustre movie worth watching and now, since moviemakers don't seem
to have a single original idea, they're going for remakes of classics
like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which will no doubt be
filled with every whizbang gizmo and outrageous special effect
Hollywood currently has to offer. Ironic when one remembers that the
whole movie was about the wonders of childhood imagination. Where's
Lewis Black as I need him to rant about this on the Daily Show so that
I can laugh instead of wondering who has to disappear to get fresh new
people making interesting movies again instead of recycling old ideas
with bad acting and computer generated animation.
But, I bought my tickets, served my time and now, it is done.
And I think everyone in Helsinki called in sick to work today as the
park was teeming with sunbathers and people eating ice cream when I
went home to give Otava is usual afternoon walk and lunch. It's a
nearly insurmountable challenge to force yourself to go back to a desk
job in a climate controlled environment after that. It almost makes me
want to be an ice cream kiosk clerk on the Esplanade for the rest of
the summer....

Feeling like a cog with a rubber stamp
Feeling like a cog with a rubber stamp
09/15/2004 05:44 AM
Two years ago I marched in protest against the Japan National ID.
Last year, after we failed, a few cities and prefectures resisted.
Yokohama took the position that the bill was illegal because it
required privacy protection and the privacy bill had not passed. They
allowed citizens to opt out and an whopping 24% of their citizens
opted out. Now that the privacy bill of the central government is in
place, Yokohama is being forced to "normalize" with the central
government. Last year, I accepted an appoint to the Yokoyama personal
information protection committee which would oversee their
integration of the national ID system with the hope that I could help
them in their resistance. Today, almost a year after the first
meeting, I spent the afternoon in what was basically a rubber stamp
session. We voiced our opinions, but at this point there really wasn't
much choice. These inquiry committee are constitutionally defined
organs for people to interact with the law making process, but I felt
more like a cog with a rubber stamp than a participant in a
democracy.
