Slow News Day

Slow News Day 01/17/2003 12:28 PM
For about a year now there has been a feeling of dark inevitability growing in my consciousness. I've tried to ignore it, but it rears its ugly head nearly everyday at the same time. I am of course talking about the rumors of The Simpsons getting closer and closer to being cancelled. Today, all of this stress has been relieved, at least for a couple more years. The Simpsons has been renewed until at least 2005. And you thought I was going to talk about war, right? There seems to be a dearth of web standards (or related topics) news as of late. Other than the quasi-anti-standards-movement (whatever that means) that was the talk of blogspace for a few days. I like Mark's new HTML 4 design more than his previous XHTML one. I'm off for class, enjoy your Friday.

How do I know? Easy. They ran a story that contains, among other things, this text: Always out on the cutting edge of technology, those early-adopters at Google Inc. are already comfortably seated on the next digital frontier. Or perhaps just in the next stall. The noted Internet search engine has recently installed digital toilets at its Mountain View offices, co-founder Larry Page disclosed to a gathering of the Churchill Club networking group in San Francisco this month.

As Slow As Possible

As Slow As Possible 07/06/2004 11:58 AM
The sound of an E and E-sharp rang out of an abandoned German church yesterday. They were the latest organ notes in a musical piece that will take another 636 years to finish playing. Avant-garde composer John Cage (1912-1992) composed Organ2/ASLSP in 1985. The title comes from the tempo Cage had in mind when the work would be played: "as slow as possible." This performance at St. Burchardi Church in Halberstadt began September 5, 2001, but until last February the only sound was the building's natural ambience. Since then, a total of five notes have been played. National Public Radio has a page about ASLSP, including audio samples and an "All Things Considered" radio piece from last fall:

In a 1982 interview with NPR, John Cage revealed that he wanted to make his "music so that it doesn't force the performers of it into a particular groove, but which gives them some space in which they can breathe and do their own work with a degree of originality. I like to make suggestions, and then see what happens, rather than setting down laws and forcing people to follow them."

RAP is too slow?

RAP is too slow? 05/01/2004 11:51 AM
RAP is good!.

I got impatient and couldn't resist trying RAP (RDF API for PHP) with the pet data. I don't know PHP and am no expert on server admin, but it only took a couple of hours to get an installation running and a script together to load the Pet Profiles into a triplestore (ModelDB). Here are the pet statements, transferred live from the (in DB) instance docs.

Very pleasing indeed. [Raw]

Wow!  What a coincidence.  We were just talking about RAP and how slow it was the other day on our PeepAgg IRC channel.

Apparently when you want to parse 444 people sized FOAF files (which would be my Tribe FOAF) it'll take forever.  So the question is: "can we optimzie RAP or rewrite it in C - and somehow get that code into a php codebase (like Drupal?)

Al waysOn starts video blogs; First blog post on outsourcing..

Tony Perkins launches video blog over at AlwaysOn. I've been thinking about video blogs since Jeremy started playing with them months ago. is there a need for them? Is there a business in video blogs?

In AO's first video Tony talks about outsourcing ("a good thing"), Google's IPO and video blogs.

The total video time: 4:38.

Total value I got from it? Zero.

I'm not sold on video blogs. Writers and people who are interesting to watch on TV are two very different things 90% of the time.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Motorbike Unveiled (BBC link, no reg. req.)
The Emissions Neutral Vehicle (ENV), has a top speed of 50mph (80km/h), a range of at least 100 miles (160km) and can run continuously for four hours before the fuel cell needs recharging.
What's more, the bike's "exhaust" is water vapor and is so clean that its drinkable.
Concerns are that the bike is too quiet and plans have been made to add a motor sound to the bike so as to not startle pedestrians. Though I must admit to kind of liking the idea of "stealth mode" motorcycling.
A sort of follow up to this post.

Camino has nailed this, and after a few more months, Safari should see smoother sailing, as the last few straggling Web designers forcefully accept it as a valid avenue for browsing.

Can You Slow Spammers Down?

Can You Slow Spammers Down? 02/16/2004 10:53 PM
Yet another anti-spam company is making news for their slightly different take on how to stop spam. The company, TurnTide, is offering a router for ISPs that watches over email traffic, and if the traffic is consistent with that of spam, the system slows down the traffic to a crawl, making spamming less lucrative, in theory. This is, basically, a more commercial means of offering a greylisting solution. The company, which showed up with a new $1 million in funding today at DEMO 2004, claims they have no competitors - but that (as always) is untrue (and whoever invested in them needs to tell them that). My guess, though, is that it won't take spammers too long to figure out ways to get around this sort of blocking maneuver. At their own end, they'll simply find spam-sympathetic ISPs (as they do now) that would never use such a system. Then, they'll probably just hijack more machines and have them each send out limited amounts of email to trick the system into believing they're legitimate.
