Thanks, Bloggies! BB wins best group
bl0g, and bl0g of the year!
03/14/2005 05:29 PMXeni 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.

07/12/2004 03:39 PMAn overview of Mac OS X 10.4’s upcoming Spotlight search
technology.
More about Spotlight
More about Spotlight
07/12/2004 07:13 PMIn 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.)

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:

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
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....

<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.
