Time for loving 09/17/2004 02:38 AM

I 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.

Loving iLife

Loving iLife 03/06/2004 01:55 AM
Reviewing iLife ’04, Matthew Fordahl writes for Associated Press, “For 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 who’ve never touched a keyboard or strummed a guitar yet advanced enough to appeal to a polished practitioner.” [Mar 1]

Loving the Mambo

Loving the Mambo 05/28/2004 06:38 PM
Submission by David Shamoon 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. It’s really slick and easy to hand off to non-technical people. You don’t have to disable a lot of features that you’ll never use.

Loving Norah Jones

Loving Norah Jones 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 AM
A 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...

I 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.)

MacOS Gets Portage

MacOS Gets Portage 07/19/2004 11:41 AM

I may have mentioned before that I run Gentoo Linux as the primary OS on my laptop, where I do most of my work at home. The main bonus of Gentoo is its packaging system, Portage. I've frequently run in to dependency hell with RPM or DEB packaging systems, since most distributions have a set of 'approved' software that comes with the distro, and you have to go 'off the reservation' for other stuff - downloading from random web sites, etc. Not so with Gentoo. The portage tree is so huge, I've seldom encountered a piece of software that's not already available. Want a digital camera tool? Just 'emerge digikam', and it's downloaded, compiled, configured, and installed, all in one step. Want to get the latest version of every piece of software on your computer? 'emerge -U world' right before bed, and you will have a cutting-edge install in the morning. After using portage, installing software with RPM's is like a kick in the face.

And now I read in this week's Gentoo Newsletter that my favorite package manager works for OSX as well, thanks to Gentoo MacOS:

a 20-head-strong developer team around Pieter van den Abeele (strategic lead) and Daniel Ostrow (operational) is now ready to release an extraordinary beast into the wild: Gentoo MacOS. They deliver on a promise no other Linux distribution has been daring enough to make yet: Portage on MacOS is now fully operational, seamlessly integrated as a package manager in a non-Linux operating system.
[...]
"Right now it's a tool to install lots of commonly requested applications on OS X", explains Pieter van den Abeele. "But in a few months, we'll have a port system that builds Darwin from scratch, provides a standardised lookup and installation routine for Dashboard widgets, enhancements and tools like the Desktop Manager and many, many more popular OS X applications."

Apparently the Fink, Gentoo, and Darwinports folks are working together to create a common packaging method so that there will be lots of software in the repository, and they won't wind up porting the mess of multiple package formats in Linux over to OS X. Sounds like it may be a little early to turn this loose on a production system, but this should become a fantastic resource for OS X software.

In the MacOS Help application (which has seen some significant performance improvements, thank god) I came across some help for migrators from Windows. Since help files are HTML, you can read them in a browser, but you can also reference them with the "help://" pseudo-protocol, like this: help for Windows switchers.

Fix for critical MacOS X vulnerability 05/19/2004 02:47 AM
If you use an OS 10.3 Mac with Safari or MSIE, you absolutely must follow the instructions in this post to block a really serious attack that Apple hasn't patched (though they've reportedly known about this since February). Alternatively, you could always run Mozilla or one of its variants -- a free, open source browser in which vulnerabilities are corrected as soon as they're discovered (not when Apple decides to get around to it).
