Good stuff and bad stuff
Good stuff and bad stuff
02/12/2004 07:25 PMThe bad stuff first: The wireless connection here sucks. It sucks
less today than previously, but it is still bad. The other thing is
that there are far too few power strips available, and I've on several
occasions had my laptop die on me.
But the cool stuff just continues: Programmable matter and quantum
dots by Wil McCarthy just blew me (and probably everyone else)
away with the visions of windows that move according to sunlight,
wires that grow inside the walls as needed, walls that can produce any
sort of light at command, quantum wells and artifical atoms, but
especially the palm-sized, paper-thin über-PDA, which does
*everything*, including cooling your drinks. And it all works on
"ambient energy" - harvesting stray photons, sound and
movement. When any physical object can have any functionality you
desire, you get into some pretty interesting scenarios...
High sci-fi, mindblowing stuff - but the theory says it should
work.

The PHP Cookbook has been announced by O'Reilly and Chapter 8 on Web
Programming is available as a downloadable PDF. I'ved added it to my
permanent collection and you should too. There's a very nice trick
about "unregistering" users who register but don't confirm their
account with you. It's also already in the Amazon listings (it's due
out in November). It looks sweet ! (and it's on my wishlist too).
I'd definitely but it from Amazon since they have it for a 30%
savings. And, if you are a WaldenBooks preferred reader member, I
have it on pretty good authority that WaldenBooks preferred reader
members will shortly be able to use their discount cards at Amazon.
That's cool.

A really good article on working with Files in PHP over on O'Reilly's

From Keith comes a really good pointer to a PHP Builder article on
vCalendar / iCalendar programming in PHP. Given that I'm regularly
hacking WebCalendar (and want to add this), that's an awesome find.

A pretty good article on PHP error messages. Good stuff to

An interesting class library, Eclipse, for PHP. It seems to be
written by a rather arrogant fellow who doesn't seem to even like the
language. So why'd he even bother? Here's a quote: "The real war is
between .NET and JSP. PHP will stand on the side, I think. The reason
I use PHP is its high availability. Nothing more. " That's fine but
he should really go use Perl if that's his criteria. Anyone ever used
this puppy? It seems way too object oriented for my taste. [ Go ]

Business schools redefine hacking to
"stuff that a 7-year-old could do"
Business schools redefine hacking to
"stuff that a 7-year-old could do"
03/17/2005 03:23 AMWhen universities created business schools in the 20th Century
traditional academics decried the collapse of standards. Instead
of students studying Literature, Art, History, and Science they would
be going through the motions of a scholar while occupying their minds
with things that formerly had been learned at a desk as an apprentice
in a dreary Victorian counting house. Now in the 21st
century the B-schools are degrading the term "computer hacking".
Here are the facts:
- Harvard and a bunch of other B-schools with a collective IT budget
of maybe $50 million decided that writing Perl scripts was too hard so
they outsourced Web-based applications to a company called
ApplyYourself.
- You'd think that the main advantage of a centralized service such
as ApplyYourself would be that a prospective student could fill out
one application and the information be sent simultaneously to many
schools. However, this is not how it works. Each school
has a totally separate area with ApplyYourself.
- All the smart young Americans have gone to law, business, and
medical school. Companies don't like to hire old people (> 30
years) to write computer programs because it saddens them to see old
folks doing something so degrading. Thus ApplyYourself hired
whoever was rejected by professional schools to write up some Visual
Basic scripts to process HBS and other B-school applications.
- The ApplyYourself code had a bug such that editing the URL in the
"Address" or "Location" field of a Web browser window would result in
an applicant being able to find out his admissions status several
weeks before the official notification date. This would be
equivalent to a 7-year-old being offered a URL of the form ht
tp://philip.greenspun.com/images/20030817-utah-air-to-air/ an
d editing it down to http://philip.greenspun.com
/images/ to see what else of interest might be on the server.
- Someone figured this out and posted the URL editing idea on the
BusinessWeek discussion forum, where all B-school hopefuls hang out
and a bunch of curious applicants tried it out.
- Now all the curious applicants, having edited their URLs, are being denied
admission to Harvard and, due to the fact that universities
form cartels to fix tuition prices and other policies, presumably to
the other B-schools as well.
One interesting data point is that I once supervised a couple of
MIT students building an online system for submission of essays to be
graded. MIT and a bunch of other schools have writing
requirements. Students submit essays. These are held in
confidence from other students. A subset of users are authorized
to grade essays and they are handed essays to evaluate. One
server with a single database is programmed to handle students and
evaluators from many different schools and keep everything that should
be separate separated. The students building this system had
never programmed in SQL before. Nor had they ever written a Web
script to glue their SQL code to an HTML template. Nor had they
ever written HTML before. The entire project,
which requires the same workflow and main features of the
ApplyYourself service, took them three months at 20 hours per
week. Those kids are probably just graduating from med school
now and preparing for their careers in radiology...
In the 1960s the term "hacking" meant smart people developing
useful and innovative computer software. In the 1990s the term
meant smart evil people developing and running programs to break into
computer systems and gain shell access to those systems. Thanks
to Harvard Business school the term now means "people of average IQ
poking around curiously by editing URLs on public servers and seeing
what comes back in the form of directory listings, etc."
[Update: People have been asking me whether I think the
schools are justified in rejecting the applicants who mucked with
ApplyYourself's URLs.Had I been an MBA applicant and heard about
this security hole I probably would have tested it out. Not so
much out of curiosity as to whether I'd gotten in but mostly to see if
a school with nearly $30 billion in assets really was so contemptuous
of quality in IT and also to see just how far the Web development
industry has slid from its apex (probably 1994, when 5 reformed Lisp
hackers built Amazon.com out of C CGI scripts talking to
Oracle). I did something similar when writing Philip and
Alex's Guide to Web Publishing. I needed examples of
Microsoft Active Server Page source code. There was at one time
a bug in IIS/ASP that enabled anyone to view the source code by
appending "::$DATA" to any .asp URL. Months after Microsoft had
released a patch for this bug, I surfed around and found scripts at
lots of prominent public servers, some of which scripts contained
database usernames and passwords. I published the results in http:/
/philip.greenspun.com/panda/server-programming#ASP, which was
turned into a hardcopy textbook by Harcourt. So it seems that my
curiosity into just how incompetent an institution with $billions in
assets could be would have led to me failing the ethics test, being
convicted of hacking, and being denied admission to a top business
school.
Where would I personally draw the line? A grad student at MIT
figured out that Fandango, the movie ticketing service, was passing
the price of the movie ticket as a hidden form variable in the HTML
instead of doing the pricing on the server at the final page. He
was able to edit the HTML form in Emacs and submit it to Fandango and
buy tickets for any price that he felt was fair (being a grad student,
his preferred price for tickets was $0.25). He invited me to try
it out but it but I thought that either Fandango or a movie theater
would end up having to make up the difference and it didn't feel right
to take their money. The HBS/ApplyYourself situation falls into
the "poking around with a browser" category where you get to see
stuff but the Web publisher hasn't been injured because they still
have the stuff on their server (one of the strange characteristics of
the digital age). As progressively dumber programmers build
progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of
attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions,
policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most
successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I
predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy
access to any of their movies. Because all of their profits are
being used to pay executive salaries this will have to be built at
extremely low cost. Deficiencies in the softwrae will enable
vast numbers of Americans to download Bambi for free, their ISPs will
be forced to rat them out, and they will all get to see Martha's
Stewart's cell in West Virginia first hand...]

GOOD
STUFF
GOOD
STUFF
06/24/2004 01:22 PM
 The
Worldwatch Institute has just released Good Stuff,
a guide for socially and environmentally responsible consumers. Please
read it -- if you're like me, you'll find a lot of information you
didn't know. You can download a .pdf of the entire guide
here.
Following is the essential section: What you can do to ensure you buy
more Good Stuff and less Bad Stuff. Unlike the .pdf, this will fit on
your refrigerator (alongside the Boycott
List):
Appliances, Lighting, Electricity:
When buying new appliances, look for energy and water efficiency
labels
and
consider models that use less water, detergent, and other resources.
Keep your appliances clean and in good working order, to help them run
more efficiently. Check the age and condition of your major
appliances—especially the
refrigerator. Replace it with a more energy-efficient
model before it dies. Use low-mercury compact flourescent light bulbs.
Use local lights instead of general ceiling lighting. Switch your home
to green power through your local utility or a green
power marketer, or by buying Renewable Energy Credits, also known as
Tradable Renewable Certificates or Green Tags -- but make sure your
Green Power is Certified by Green-e or TerraChoice. Turn appliances,
lights and electronics completely off after use. Educate your work
place, school, church to do likewise.
Baby
Products:
If you're expecting a baby or planning on breastfeeding, minimize your
exposure to pesticides, paints, heavy metals, and other toxins. When
changing a diaper, use soaps without strong fragrances, colorings, or
detergents. Avoid commercial baby wipes. Use biodegradable diapers or
reusable cloth diapers. Avoid PVC and plastic baby toys (illegal in
Europe because of toxins released when they're chewed). Buy sleepers
made from organic cotton, toys made from non-dyed wood, and baby soaps
made without synthetic ingredients. Use organic baby food. Get your
baby outdoors and exposed to pets so she builds up natural
immunity.
Beverages and Foods:
Refill your water bottle at the tap rather than buying a new one. Buy
large size containers rather than single serving sizes. Buy refillable
rather than recyclable bottles. Don't buy non-recyclables. Recycle.
Organize a recycling program at work. Lobby for mandatory refillable
and deposit-return recycling in your state. Avoid low-nutrition,
high-fat junk foods, and takeout foods in non-recyclable containers.
Stock up on healthy snacks. Get to know local farmers who raise
sustainable and organic meat and other products in your area or buy
them at your local health food store or farmer's market. Cut back on
your meat consumption. Learn more about the factory farm issue. Invite
friends over for a locally grown, sustainable meal. And don't buy or
eat shrimp: Shrimp fishing is the world's main cause of
discarded-catch
waste (unwanted sea animals caught in shrimp nets and discarded back
into the sea dead) and of deforestation for seafood farms.
Building
Materials:
Use “green” building products, such as less-toxic and
recycled paints
or wood that has been reclaimed or sustainably harvested. Use
materials
and processes that last. When renovating or doing home maintenance,
avoid exposing your family, neighbors, or pets to lead-based paint
hazards. Test for lead residues, keep surfaces clean of dust and
chips,
and if necessary hire a person skilled in correcting lead problems.
Avoid alkyds, oils, and other paints with VOCs (carcinogenous
hydrocarbons).
Cars:
Walk, bike, or take public transportation whenever possible. Encourage
your local community to invest in bike lanes, stoplights that favor
cyclists, and bike safety. Combine several trips into one. Keep your
vehicle well-maintained. Fix oil leaks. Join a carpool or car-sharing
club. Buy a hybrid vehicle.
Chocolate & Coffee:
Most chocolate and coffee production endangers forests, exploits local
farmers, and uses toxic and illegal pesticides. Full-sun coffee
plantations also reduce bird biodiversity and use more chemicals. Buy
only chocolate and coffee that carries a “fair trade” label
and that is
organic and, in the case of coffee, shade-grown ('bird-friendly').
Encourage your favourite stores to carry and feature such
products.
Cleaning
& Health Products:
Use safe, simple ingredients: Soap, water, baking soda, vinegar, lemon
juice, borax, and a coarse scrubbing sponge can take care of most
household cleaning needs. Use baking soda followed by vinegar instead
of drain cleaner. Use vinegar and water to clean glass, baking soda or
cornstarch to deodorize carpet, lemon juice & salt on mildew and
mold, baking soda & salt paste as oven cleaner. Use only
biodegradable and children-and-pet-safe cleaners, and educate friends
and neighbours to do the same. Don't buy thermometers with mercury in
them.
Computers and Cell Phones: Use an earpiece to avoid
holding the
cellphone handset too close to your head, and limit use by children.
Lobby for less toxic designs and recycling programs. Use
energy-efficient computers, and upgrade instead of replacing. Donate
old computers to charities or refurbishers. Boycott companies that
send
computer garbage to third-world countries.
Furniture:
Opt for second-hand furniture to save trees and reduce landfills. Look
for the FSC (certified sustainable-forest wood) label on all wood
products you buy. Making your own furniture, using recycled or
salvaged
wood products. When buying foam-filled furniture, including
mattresses,
ensure only wool batting and other natural flame-retardant chemicals were used in their
manufacture. Boycott teak and other endangered wood species.
Jewelry: Demand an alternative to 'dirty gold'
and 'blood diamonds' that are produced at the expense of communities,
workers, and the environment. Buy recycled or vintage gold.
Music
& Video: Download instead of buying. Buy used. Borrow.
Share, trade, donate unwanted disks.
Paper
and Plastic:
Buy paper with at least 30 percent postconsumer recycled content, and
encourage your school or workplace to do the same. Seek out nonwood
paper alternatives made from kenaf, cotton, or other fibers. Many
“agrifibers” yield more pulp-per-acre than forests or tree
farms, and
they require fewer pesticides and herbicides. Lobby for legislation
requiring manufacturers to take back the packaging waste from their
products. Don't print out your e-mails. Don't use plastic bags. Avoid
plastic containers and products with vinyl (they have the number
'3' embossed inside the recycling symbol). Don't burn garbage or yard
waste.
Personal
Care Products:
Buy, and ask your favourite stores to stock, products with organic
contents, certified animal-freindly (leaping bunny logo pictured
above). Avoid using products labeled “antibacterial.” Choose
products
with the smallest numbers of listed ingredients, avoiding entirely
products that contain phthalates, detergents, and antimicrobial agents
like triclosan. Avoid overpackaged and non-recyclable-packaged
products.
Bottom
Line: Buy durable, buy local, buy used, buy reusable, buy
recycled, buy certified, buy energy-efficient, buy non-toxic, and buy
less.
About Labels: There are
many labels that claim the products are 'green', 'cruelty-free',
'all-organic' etc. Use caution with these claims. Only a few, like the
5 pictured above, are actually independently certified to meaningful
published standards. If you want to know more about certification, see
the excellent guide to
eco-labels maintained by Consumer Reports. It tells you how meaningful each
claim is, and who (if anyone) independently verifies it.
(Updates to the Boycott
List: I really regret having bought a Dell. Manufactured, shoddily, in
Singapore, serviced from India, dreadful 'customer care'. Add Dell to
your boycott list. And we've switched foods for our dog Chelsea
-- to a
high-protein, low-fat Canadian veterinarian-certified dog

05/28/2004 02:00 PMPerhaps its our MTV culture that has reduced our collective attention
span to 30 second snippets, but in any case, the need to get to the
"good parts" of a 3 minute song has spurred the creation of
song analysis
software that automatically picks out the chorus. SmartMusicKiosk
has been developed to filter through pop hits and skip from chorus to
chorus so that people can browse through music to quickly identify
what they like. Sort of the inverse function of a
Shazam which we wrote about a
long time ago -- so instead of providing a snippet of a song you like
to be automatically identified, having a snippet automatically
provided to be identified as a song you might like.

09/27/2004 01:01 AMThe strangely named Ubuntu distribution of Debian Linux comes out of
left field with this new version. You may be as surprised as we were
by how user-friendly this distro turns out to be. And its inclusion of
Gnome 2.8 was icing on the cake for us.

Debian Distro Ubuntu is Shipping for
Free
12/19/2004 03:08 PMUbuntu has been shipping free cd's of its distro for some time now -
actually, sets containing a live (Knoppix-like - just boot, no
install) CD and a 'regular' CD, for Intel, Apple, and AMD64
architectures. They're in fact shipping *loads* of such cd's - for
free - if you go to their shipping page, the default number to order
is 10. Probably not a bad way to introduce acquaintances to Linux.
