Thanks, Bloggies! BB wins best group
bl0g, and bl0g of the year!
03/14/2005 05:29 PM
Xeni Jardin: Boing Boing pal Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won Group Weblog of the Year at the Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in their honor: check 'em all out. On behalf of my blog-mates Cory Doctorow, Mark Frauenfelder, and David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager" John Battelle; our sysadmin par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to SXSW in person to accept the award, but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at ETCON ( all five of us will be in the same place for the first time). Boing Boing sprouted online a little over five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come. Link

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

An overview of Mac OS X 10.4’s upcoming Spotlight search technology.


More about Spotlight


More about Spotlight 07/12/2004 07:13 PM

In reading John Gruber’s Spotli ght on Spotlight today, I was struck by something interesting:

One implication of Spotlight’s file-centricity is that its ability to search “email” might not apply to clients other than Apple Mail — it’s the fact that the new Tiger version of Mail stores each message as a separate file that allows Spotlight to effectively return individual mail messages as search results. No other major mail client uses a one-message-per-file storage format.


I haven’t looked into Spotlight in any depth (and, if I had, I couldn’t talk about it). But, if it’s true that Spotlight only looks at files, then this creates an interesting dilemma for all the developers whose apps don’t use individual files.

NetNewsWire, for instance, does not use a separate file for each individual news item. And NetNewsWire isn’t alone, of course—in fact, I think there’s a trend toward more and more apps like this, apps that store chunks smaller than most web pages and files. (What Anil Dash calls a Microcontent Client.)



And now for some trivia...

Little-known fact—years ago, back in 1996 (I think), Ranchero Software had a product named Spotlight. It was a search engine for websites: it used Frontier (which was freeware then) and Filemaker Pro and ran behind WebSTAR and similar HTTP servers.

Spotlight cost $99, and it didn’t have the success that, say, NetNewsWire has—but we did get an “It Shipped!” plaque from Apple, signed by Heidi Roizen. (I think. My memory may not be completely accurate on some details.)

Which is to say nothing in particular, except that the name Spotlight is pretty good for search technology. (And I highly doubt that we were the first ones to use it.)

old logo

At the time our company may still have been known as World Wide Power & Light. (Another piece of trivia.) We stopped using that name because it was way too long and because someone else was using it too. (Oops.) (We had a weird domain name: wrldpwr.com. One of those domain names that takes a half-hour to explain out loud.)

Here’s an old logo we never used:

I've having a hell of a time playing with the internals of Spotlight. I have some more articles coming, but a quick and dirty one that goes over how I'm finding out the niftiest things to do was just posted on Mac Geekery. The alternative to the above article is to just use mdfind in Terminal, but that's no fun because you don't get the pretty categorized results and so on. Anyhow, enjoy.

802.1X in the Spotlight at Enterprises


802.1X in the Spotlight at Enterprises 03/14/2005 05:46 PM
The 802.1X protocol for authenticating users and restricting access is starting to hit the big time: This long feature, which I wrote for Mobile Pipeline, walks through how the 802.1X specification works, how it can be secured, and what benefits it is bringing to businesses and academic institutions that want to segregate traffic, control access, and provide a high level of security to their wireless links. After talking to vendors and customers, it's clear that all the pieces needed to make 802.1X a consistently deployed, secure, successful method of authentication are in place. Even better, 802.1X can secure wired and wireless networks with equal ease, preventing rogue access points, unauthorized Ethernet users, and even sticking virus-infected legitimate users on special VLANs to solve their problems before they hit the LAN....

<a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=3820">{_h og}</a><b>Name:</b> hog <b>Birthdate:</b> Spring of the early 80s <b>Best Quality:</b> Humor <b>Worst Quality:</b> Humor <b>First Mac:</b> Mac Classic <b>Current Setup:</b> See the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/gallery/show_photo.php?picid=10953&qu ot; target="_blank">picture in my gallery</a> <div class="infobox">Where was the best place you have ever been on vacation?</div> The Galapagos islands, although I'm not sure I would call it a vacation, cause every day was such a huge learning experience. No one could have taught me that in a classroom. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> My favourite food is sushi. I like my sushi like I like my women, naked on a bed of rice, minus the rice. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> I have a wild cat that goes by the name Kittay, there are some pictures of her in my gallery. I also have some fish but they come and go, so no need mentioning them. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite kind of fish?</div> To eat or to appreciate? <div class="infobox">Appreciate!</div> That would have to be the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, hands down. <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> I guess since this interview is PG, it would be breaking stuff. I used to have a terrible temper as a kid, and my parents would send me to my room. I would get so upset that I would start smashing my own things, which would just make me more upset. I am glad I fight the urges to smash stuff now since I now work at a glass desk, that could be a expensive temper tantrum. <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> Macworld NY did in 2002, as well as the iWalk. I think I was in the market for a new laptop, and I wanted to find out if I should buy then or wait for an update, so through my research I stumbled upon Spymac. I used to go to other rumor sites, but never did they have a forums where I could nag people about when I should by my new PowerBook. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite Spymac forum?</div> The mod board, with the stripper pole and the... oh, you mean a public one? I used to like the RLD a lot, but you can only read about the same thing so many times, and I also found out way too much about other members - you just dont need to know how many anatomically correct chunks of rubber some people have. So I guess my favorite forum is the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/forums/threadlist.php?catid=9" target="_blank">Lounge</a>, since it's laid back and just general discussion. <div class="infobox">How do you like working at night time for Spymac?</div> I am being paid for being on Spymac, how do you think I like it? <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends through Spymac?</div> I have made several friends from Spymac. It has such a strong community base that I dont know how anyone on here couldn't make a ton of friends. <div class="infobox">Why didn't you join the rest of the Spymac team in Boston for Macworld?</div> Many reasons. Most importantly it was my girlfriend's birthday that weekend, and someone had to hold down the tech support fort. <div class="infobox">Which three Spymac members would you want to meet?</div> Meeting anyone would mean revealing my true self, and since the world isn't ready for me yet, I'll stay in hiding. <div class="infobox">If you had to be stuck on an island with three Spymac members, who would you choose?</div> I guess I would be stuck on there with AtariST, and a bottle of scotch. With Atari, I know we wouldn't be lost on that island for long, we'd be picked up pretty quick, and the scotch would make the awkwardness of just the two of us seem non-existent. What happens on barren secluded islands, stays on barren secluded islands. <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into? Who is your favourite musician?</div> I am a huge fan of music, I like all genres, but if I had to pick a single one to top the list it would be hip hop. It is the biggest cultural movement since Rock and Roll in the late 50's early 60's. On top of it all stands Kanye West. It's about time we have someone with something to say other than they're gonna kill someone else. <div class="infobox">Would you ever pose nude for a magazine such as Playgirl or else for a large sum of money?</div> The adult industry already has a hedgehog, and well lets just say I'm not sure I could compete with his, um, "gifted" genetics. Although if I did, I think my back drop would be a funeral. You don't see enough naked people at funerals. I think it would really lighten things up a bit. In fact, that's a great idea, my funeral's dress code is gonna be birthday suits. That will take some of the attention off the dead guy in the box. <div class="infobox">When you first joined Spymac you had a reputation for causing a bit of trouble and you were sometimes a bit of a jerk. You later became a Forum Moderator and now you're working for Spymac. What caused this change in attitude with you on the site?</div> Hey now, are you saying I'm no longer a jerk? Well, when I first came to Spymac I figured I would stir up the pot a bit. I remember I used to rouse GadgetDon real good in the shouts about religion, and now I'm working with him. I guess the reason that I turned the leaf, so to say, was cause I was just too damn good at skirting the line and figured that if I could be so damn good at being bad then I might as well give the friendly thing a whirl. It's a lot better, cause now the shock factor is back when I want it, and now they pay me for being a jerk if I need to be. Hell, how can I complain with that? <div class="infobox">Your avatars are great! You should get some additional ones. Where did you get them?</div> <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=2794" target="_blank">TimTheEnchanter </a> was kind enough to make them for me on his own time, he is a tremendous artist and was kind enough to do so, if you would like to see more contact him cause I know I sure do. <div class="infobox">If you could live at any time, past or present, what would you choose?</div> I think I would pick present day - I like things how they are. <div class="infobox">If your home was on fire, what would you grab on the way out?</div> If my home was on fire I would probably only grab my cat and my tower. Nothing pisses me off more than loosing my bookmarks and if I lost my MP3s I would have no reason to live. <div class="infobox">If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be and why?</div> I think I would be some real trashy female celebrity; maybe Paris Hilton or Britney. I'd run around all day doing all the things I have always said I would do if I were a girl, which would probably land me in the slammer. That would be OK since there are plenty of nasty things I could do in there still. Always wondered how easy it would be to be a girl and "get" your way out of jail. <div class="infobox">If someone gave you a few million dollars, how would you spend it?</div> On the market and make a few more. <div class="infobox">If you could see anyone in concert (time-travel is permitted), who would it be?</div> Wow, now thats a humdinger of a question. I would have to say Yo-Yo Ma, that would be one hell of a concert. Haha, all jokes aside, probably everyone at Woodstock in '69, especially Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
