I don't know Anil personally, but he's been helping out Roller users and submitting lots of bug reports against Roller 1.0.RC1, most of which are accompanied by a fix. So, I just want to say thanks Anil. You've been a big help. Quick Roller status report: I really hope to have Roller 1.0 out (or at least an RC2 release) in the next week or so.

GOATSE t-shirt in the NYT

Anil Dash wore a subtle and arcane GOATSE t-shirt for a recent New York Times photoshoot, and they ran a pic of him wearing it. GOATSE is an Internet legend -- a repulsive photo that used to live at www.goatse.cx that Internet pranksters went to great lengths to trick others into seeing.

Anil Dash is the Ultramarine

Anil Dash is the Ultramarine 07/08/2004 06:59 PM

According to Wi red News, Anil Dash has won the Nigritude Ultramarine challenge.

"The impetus (was) for me, on a fluke, to say, 'Hey, I don't want these guys who do link spamming to win the contest,'" said Dash. "I figured that people would be fighting the contest the whole month and coming up with new and innovative ways to get their page ranking up, but it didn't happen."

Indeed, according to Brandon Suit, the first-round winner, Dash's victory was a fait accompli from the moment he entered the competition.
[...]
Suit said he conceded to Dash a month ago, paraphrasing a consolation message he got from a friend, "Anil's entry into this contest (was) like a NASCAR driver entering a Go-Kart race."

Dash stated that he hopes his win will prove to people trying to spam comments to get ranking that writing good content instead is the way to go. I agree, but if that sort of thinking prevailed, the pop-up ad would have gone away a long time ago.

Anil kicks linkspammers' asses

Anil kicks linkspammers' asses 07/08/2004 03:24 PM
A bunch of blog-spammers and google-spoofers (the euphemism is "Search Engine Optimization" -- no doubt you've received spam offering you this "service") set up a competition to see who could become the number one Google result for the previously unused phrase "nigritude ultramarine." So they set about creating their link-farms and so forth.

Then Anil Dash, a blogger who works for SixApart, decided to kick their asses. These spammers' google-whuffie was puny relative to Anil's popular, much-linked blog, and when he created a post and asked his readers to link to him using "nigritude ultramarine" as the link-text, he won the competition handily.

To Dash, then, winning the flat-screen television awarded to the second-round victor was testament to the power of good content and a longstanding online presence.

"A lot of people are trying to increase their page rank unethically," said Dash. "I think if we show them (that) the best thing you can do is to write really good material, then hopefully, they'll spend their time doing that (instead of) spending time coming up with ways to graffiti other people's pages."

Furthermore, Dash maintained, his victory proves one thing: That the Web is a meritocracy.

"A page that's read by people instead of robots is going to do better," he said.

Anil Dash

To use the requisite automotive analogy, if Six Apart were a shiny new car, I feel like I was the person who put the first dent in it, and then a couple thousand people stood around pointing and saying "It's totalled!"

It's been a hard week for everyone at Six Apart with the difficulty with the launch of the Movable Type 3 and the licensing and communications about this. Anil seems to feel quite responsible. It sounds a bit like Rummy getting set up to be the fall guy, but fine. It was Anil's fault. ;-)

Having said that, I think everyone at Six Apart feels very responsible and is working really hard listening to all the feedback and fixing the licenses and communications of them. They're sincerely trying to be "good" so I'd appreciate any slack people are willing to cut them. Also, please continue to send them and myself ideas and feedb ack on how we can make the MT 3 license better for everyone. Thanks!

Responding to Anil Dash's request for
even more feedback about MovableType and
SixApart 09/21/2004 01:02 AM
First of all, thank you, Anil Dash, for your patience and willingness to engage in conversation with critics and fans alike. I would also like to agree with you about tone, and to note that I did not help matters with the titles of some of my earlier posts. I think my criticisms were valid, but the tone of some of the titles was uncalled for and unhelpful. Second, I can't believe you have asked me to post more feedback, and are getting me to spend another 2 hours of my life writing about MovableType, something I just said I wouldn't do again. Some would accuse you of feeding a troll, and friends have asked me why I spend so much time worrying about one Weblog / lightweight Content Management System vendor (it's 'cause I like y'all). As I said earlier, we all do have more important things to do. But you (and the Wall Street Journal) asked, so I will try to be brief, constructive and final. Where I am today with respect to recommending SixApart products: I would recommend Typepad to a non-technical person who was trying to start a blog, if they had some aesthetic sensibilities and weren't too price sensitive. Presuming that SixApart can keep up with growth and minimize downtime, it's a nice product, reasonably priced and segmented, and the grouping on Typepad give the author a decent chance of attracting a readership. SixApart does also seem to be adding features to Typepad at a reasonable pace. If someone was price sensitive, I'd send them to Blogger. Blogger's hosting issues seem to be a thing of the past, there are now some nice templates for it, and there are still smart people outside Blogger doing cool things for Blogger. Plus it is free. It is hard for SixApart being in a consumer business where so many of their competitors are giving away their product for free. Maybe it makes sense for SixApart to do B2B only? See below. I would recommend Movable Type for a institution or business wanting to host a corporate blog that didn't have a lot of internal technical expertise. There is good documentation, nice templates, and good support. I don't know if SixApart permits it, but if it does I would recommend that the business start with 2.661 and let the dust settle on 3.x before upgrading. Depending on what the...

Historical origins of obesity

Historical origins of obesity 05/27/2004 02:52 AM
Long, interesting Harvard Magazine article about the historical shifts in diet and lifestyle that led to America's obesity epidemic.

"We are not adapted to handle fast-acting carbohydrates," Ludwig continues. "Glucose is the gold standard of energy metabolism. The brain is exquisitely dependent on having a continuous supply of glucose: too low a glucose level poses an immediate threat to survival. [But] too high a level causes damage to tissues, as with diabetes. The body is designed to keep blood glucose within a tight range, and it does this beautifully, even with extreme nutrient ratios: we can survive indefinitely on a diet of 60 percent carbohydrates and 20 percent fat, or 20 percent carbohydrates and 60 percent fat. But we never [before] had to assimilate a heavy dose of high-glycemic carbohydrates."

I'm sure similar projects are being worked on elsewhere, but it's nice to know that people are creating virtual replicas of historical monuments that let people "go back in time" at the click of a mouse. From the article, it sounds like the team in this case is paying great attention to detail, making sure that the representation is as accurate as possible. While not taking away from the value of actually visiting historical monuments, it would seem that this makes for a nice complement for people who want to compare what may have been with what's there today. Also, it allows people nowhere near these historical sites to check them out.

A second and much larger edition appeared in 1960 under the same auspices. The third edition, Historical Statistics of the United States, Colonial Times to 1970, Bicentennial Edition, was published by the Bureau in 1975 and was expanded to two volumes. In the year 2005 Cambridge University Press will publish the fourth, millennial, edition of this classic reference work. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
