Overzealous Decluttering Efforts
12/19/2003 11:33 AMSpring Cleaning is a good choice for managing the digital junk you've
created, such as documents and QuickTime movies. But some of Spring
Cleaning's features make it potentially dangerous for people who may
not know what they're deleting. As for Internet Cleanup, if you use
Internet Explorer, you may find it useful. Fans of other browsers
should look elsewhere. By T. Patrick Henebry (Macworld via

03/14/2005 05:04 PMThis week, we look at an introduction to Spring. Based on a design
principle called Inversion of Control, Spring reduces the complexity
of using interfaces and speeds up your application development. You
get the power of EJB and get to keep the simplicity of the
non-enterprise JavaBean. By Manning Publications. 0307

Self-Cleaning Glass
Self-Cleaning Glass
06/08/2004 09:07 AM
They've been developing it
for years, so it's good news to see that the Pilkington Activ glass --
the self-cleaning "eco glass" coated with a film of titanium dioxide
-- is finally being put to use in commercial development. If you
hadn't see it before, the Activ glass has two advantages over normal
glass: the first is the photocatalytic effect that reacts to sunlight
to break down organic dirt, and the second is an enhanced hydrophilic
tendency of water running on the glass to form sheets instead of
droplets (like Rain-X, for instance). The combination of the two
effects means that every time it rains (as I hear it does a lot in UK,
where the technology was developed), the outside of the windows clean
themselves.

Self-cleaning nanofabric
07/23/2004 02:41 PMCNN reports on the recently-announced invention of self-cleaning
nano-coated fabric that's a leap beyond
stain-resistant Dockers. The materials
scientists at Hong Kong Polytechnic University coated cotton with
nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. When subjected to ultraviolet
light, the titanium dioxide produces an oxidizing agent that can break
down dirt and other organic substances. According to researcher Walid
A. Daoud, several companies have already come knocking.
"(The fabric will be useful for) military people, or
travelers, people who go hiking, who don't have a lot of water and
time to wash their clothes," he said. "This is a very good idea
because then if the clothes get dirty, the dirt can be decomposed by
the fabric itself. So after a few days in the sunshine, or even indoor
light, the dirt will disappear."
As both
BioED
Online and CNN point out, the technology was prophesized in the
1951 film
The Man in the
White Suit starring Alec Guinness.

Smith, R-N.J., and replaced him with Rep. Steve Buyer of Indiana. At
first glance, dumping Smith in favor of one of his colleagues might
seem out of keeping for the Republicans, who normally avoid
infighting. But Wednesday's vote wasn't so much a fight as a takedown.

Cleaning Word HTML
Cleaning Word HTML
11/10/2003 11:12 PMI took a weekend off from scowling and screaming at the content
management system that refuses to be born in order to luxuriate in
code that has to work on only one server, and has to be legible only
to me. The bliss, I tell you, the bliss!
The result is a rather if-I-may skookum rewrite of this
site’s Word HTML Cleaner. The markup it now produces is
tidier and easier to read, and the selection of tags and attributes
that make it through the cleaning process is somewhat more
sensible.
Access to the Word Cleaner continues to be free for files up to 20
kilobytes, though I’ve added an option to subscribe at
the ROCK BOTTOM INTRODUCTORY PRICE of $20
per year.
Subscribers can, in addition to working with documents larger than
20 Kb, customise how the cleaner deals with tag attributes, as well as
have access to other future improvements. Thanks to a bit of hacking
through Paypal’s rather suave Instant Payment Notification API, access to the Word cleaner’s new bells
and whistles is nearly instant.
Whether this will slow down the instances of people firing up 2
megabyte quarterly reports overflowing with WordArt and Excel charts
– then sniffily demanding why this free service didn’t
work (‘oh was I supposed to save it as HTML?’) – remains to be seen.

A problem with NLMs not cleaning up
after themselves
09/16/2004 05:37 AMEver since Windows NT was first released (strangely enough as Version
3.5 - Microsoft never did get the hang of proper numbering), NetWare
aficionados have swapped stories about uptime - how long a server goes
between bootups. Windows servers used to have uptime numbers that were
measured in hours or days, while NetWare uptime was measured in months
or even years. With older versions of NT, starting or stopping a
service often meant you needed to reboot while recent versions of
NetWare haven't needed a reboot even to upgrade the operating system.

01/17/2004 10:43 PMBrowser cache files, duplicate documents, and unneeded programs waste
space, and Spring Cleaning 6.0 and Internet Cleanup 1.0, both from
Aladdin Systems, offer ways to sort through your files and toss the
trash. Spring Cleaning can find and remove almost any file, while
Internet Cleanup specializes in removing browser-related files and
blocking pop-up browser windows. These tools are handy starting points
for cleaning up your machine, but be sure to study the file list
before you press delete -- both programs occasionally target needed
files.

These fans may not be new -- I mean, it's a
fan -- but I just noticed them for the first time today. The
Hammacher Schlemmer Air-Cleaning Windows Fan is just a box fan,
basically, except on the intake side (or "back") is a pleated
cotton/poly filter that also happens to be impregnated with baking
soda to neutralize odors. Unfortunately it shares the curse of all air
cleaners -- the fan is only $50, but the three-month filters are $40
each.
Can you tell it's hot in our neck of the woods today?
