Integrating Reading and Writing of

Integrating Reading and Writing of
Documents
07/24/2004 01:00 AMIntegrating Reading and Writing of Documents by P. J. Brown
and Heather Brownhttp://jodi
.ecs.soton.ac.uk/Articles/v05/i01/Brown/AbstractComputer users have become accustomed
to the writing of documents being regarded as a separate activity from
the reading of documents. We believe that this division is unnecessary
and limits the effectiveness of virtually every computer user. It is
time for a rethink of underlying concepts. A key concept for
integrating reading with writing is a general mechanism for
annotation. This general mechanism can be combined with hyperlinking
to create a single unifying super-concept that provides a base for
integrating reading and writing. The paper explains the underlying
ideas, and describes the results of a small experiment that supported
the viability of the super-concept. We believe that the super-concept
might possibly provide the foundations for a revolution in thinking
about documents, which would benefit everyone. This will be added to

Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python

Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python
2.2
06/08/2004 11:18 PMWe have a home-grown templating system at work, which I
intend to dedicate an entry to some time in the future. We originally
wrote it in Python 2.2, but upgraded to Python 2.3 a while ago and
have since been evolving our code in that environment. Today I found a
need to load the most recent version of our templating system on to a
small, long neglected application that had been running the original
version ever since it had enough features to be usable.
Unfortunately, this application was running on a server
that only had Python 2.2. Installing Python 2.3 would have been
somewhat more painful here than on other servers we run for reasons I
won't go in to, so I decided to have a go at getting our current code
to run under the older Python version.
In the end, I only had to make three minor changes, all at
the top of the file in question.
I added from __future__ import
generators as the very first line of the file. We use
generators (with the yield statement) in a
few places - this feature was only properly added in Python 2.3, but
was made available in Python 2.2 as a "future enhancement" through the
aforementioned obscure import.
I added True, False = 1,
0 on the next line down. Surprisingly, Python 2.2 had no
support for a boolean type and instead used a test for non-zero
instead. The above line defines constants that behave enough like
Python 2.3's True and False to avoid any problems.
I defined an enumerate
function, which was introduced for real in Python 2.3. Here's the code
I used:
def enumerate(obj):
for i, item in zip(range(len(obj)), obj):
yield i, item
All in all it only took around ten minutes to put the
above together, after which the script worked just fine. It was
interesting to see how our code had grown to rely on Python 2.3
features without us realising it.

case anyone's interested:
I’m currently reading Dave Eggers’ You

now would highly recommend. After that I was hoping to muster the
enthusiasm to have another stab at the last half of Larry
Lessig’s The
Future of Ideas. The arguments aren’t new to me, but
I thought I should probably go back and read the man himself. I really
need to start reading more fiction again. For a start, I need to catch
up with my Neal Stephenson — I’ve not read The
Confusion or Quic
ksilver yet. But I’ll probably end up trawling
through the various social software related bits of social science
that I’ve been meaning to read for ages (Schelling<
/a>, Goffman, Olson,
Hall)
and bunking off occasionally to grab a bit of Kim Philby’s My
Silent War. I’ve become a bit obsessed with the whole
Cambridge Spy thing since starting work at Broadcasting

Currently Reading: Trading Up
Currently Reading: Trading Up
01/05/2004 03:00 PMTrading Up: "Middle-market
consumers, in the United States and around the world, are trading up
to New Luxury products and services that deliver higher levels of
quality, taste, and aspiration than conventional ones. Because New
Luxury goods sell at premiums of 20-200% over standard midprice goods,
they deliver higher profits. They also sell in much higher volumes
than superpremium products."
It's a rather interesting look at what's driven the success of
companies like Starbucks, Victoria's Secret, and others that make huge
profits selling premium-priced products on a mainstream scale. This
goes against the traditional assumption that goods sell at either a
low volume or a low price. Turns out, people will "trade down" in
some categories that don't matter to them in order to trade up in
areas that do.
It pretty much only talks about real-world goods, not software or
web-related stuff, nor even high-tech stuff, and I don't yet know how
exactly the lessons apply to the areas I usually think about. But they
probably do. (Is Apple a trading-up brand? Or is it not mainstream
enough? Maybe") I'm only about a third of the way through it, but good
stuff so far.

reading “Voynichese”
01/08/2004 08:17 PMHere's something weird and interesting from this week's Economist:
an article on the Voynich manuscript.
Quote:
THE Voynich manuscript, once owned by Emperor
Rudolph II in 16th-century Bohemia, is filled with drawings of
fantastic plants, zodiacal symbols and naked ladies. Far more
intriguing than its illustrations, however, is the accompanying text:
234 pages of beautifully formed, yet completely unintelligible
script.
Modern scholars have pored over the book since 1912, when Wilfrid
Voynich, an American antiquarian, bought the manuscript and started
circulating copies in the hope of having it translated. Some 90 years
later, the book still defies deciphering. It now resides at Yale
University.
The manuscript is written in “Voynichese”, which consists of
strange characters, some of which look like normal Latin letters and
Roman numerals. Some analysts have suggested that Voynichese is a
modified form of Chinese. Others think it may be Ukrainian with the
vowels taken out. But Voynichese words do not resemble those of any
known language. Nor is the text a simple transliteration into fanciful
symbols: the internal structure of Voynichese words, and how they fit
together in sentences, is unlike patterns seen in other languages.
The other alternatives are, as the article notes,
that the manuscript is either in code, or simply a hoax. Nevertheless,
my geek-sense flares up when reading about something like this. Oh
boy! An entire manuscript to decrypt, and a few centuries old to boot!
Does that sound like fun or what?

04/04/2005 06:48 PM## Peter Drucker looks
at the big picture of the world economy today -- really four
economies, he says: information, money, multinationals and mercantile
exchange.
|   |
For thirty years after World War II, the U.S. economy dominated
practically without serious competition. For another twenty years it
was clearly the world's foremost economy and especially the undisputed
leader in technology and innovation. Though the United States today
still dominates the world economy of information, it is only one major
player in the three other world economies of money, multinationals and
trade. And it is facing rivals that, either singly or in combination,
could
conceivably make America Number Two. |
## Cy
nthia Ozick reviews Joseph Lelyveld's memoir. I haven't read the
book, but the former N.Y. Times editor apparently did a vast amount of
legwork researching his own childhood. This is Ozick's discussion of
the limitations of Lelyveld's approach:
|   |
...There is no all-pervading Proustian madeleine in Lelyveld's
workaday prose. Yet salted through this short work is the smarting of
an unpretentious lamentation: ''If this were a novel,'' ''If I were
using these events in a novel,'' and so on. Flickeringly, the writer
appears to see what is missing; and what is missing is the intuitive,
the metaphoric, the uncertain, the introspective with its untethered
vagaries: in brief, the not-nailed-down. Consequently Lelyveld's
memory loop becomes a memory hole, through which everything that is
not factually retrievable escapes. Memory, at bottom, is an act of
imaginative re-creation, not of archival legwork. ''Yes, I was
finding, it was possible to do a reporting job on your childhood,''
Lelyveld insists. Yes? Perhaps no. The memoirist has this in common
with the novelist: he is like the watchful spider alert to every
quiver on its lines. Sensation, not research. |
Well put. I think one of the reasons I chose, as a young writer, a
career as a critic rather than as a reporter was that I could not see
devoting my life to writing that was all "nailed-down." Reporting is a
necessary and valuable skill, and I have deep respect for those who do
it well; it's hard, hard work, too. But it will typically miss that
dimension of "the intuitive, the metaphoric, the uncertain, the
introspective." In American journalism as it is conventionally defined
by those who carve out the job descriptions, a critic's portfolio is
broader, and it's possible, under the right alignment of stars, to
feel as well as to record -- or rather, to record what one has felt
along with what one has witnessed.
## Apparently there's a movement afoot in the world of
writing about games to be less "nailed-down." It's called the "New Games
Journalism" -- "a narrative, experiential approach that
acknowledges the effect of the game on the player." I'll need to read
up. This was sort of what I had in mind 15 years ago when I began to
move my attention from the world of theater to the digital realm, and
thought, hey, why not try writing more ambitious reviews of
videogames? I'd just turned 30, though, and was already feeling that
the gaming world was one I would be less and less able to keep up with
as the decades advanced. (So right!) So I wrote one opus -- an
"experiential" discourse on the world of Super Mario -- and moved
on to broader terrain.

PyObjc
PyObjc
10/31/2003 03:02 PMI caught Bill Bumgarner’s
presentation on
PyObjc at the OS X conference. I was surprised by how complete
PyObjc is: according to Bill, it pretty much just works.
You can of course send messages back and forth across the PyObjc
bridge: you can call Objective-C from Python and vice versa. You can
even subclass Objective-C classes in Python. Things like Web Kit and
the new NSController layer work with Python. And with Python you
don’t have to deal with memory issues
(retain/release/autorelease).
So, while all that’s very cool, I’m not about to switch
away from Objective-C. But I can imagine using Python for a few
things:
1. XML-RPC and other web services. Python is utterly remarkable as a
web services language. I’ve used no other language as nice as
Python for this stuff.
2. As a user scripting language. NetNewsWire for instance has a
Scripts menu to which you can add AppleScript scripts. It would be
cool if you could also put Python scripts in there that have at least
the same level of access to NetNewsWire as the AppleScript scripts
have. (Actually, it would be easy to give an even bigger level of
access.)
3. Writing unit tests. Writing tests should be as frictionless as
possible; Python would be a big help here.
I should point out that NetNewsWire already does use Python for one
feature, though it’s not using PyObjc: the HTML differences code
is a Python script by
Aaron
Swartz. (NetNewsWire just calls the script on disk via NSTask.)

outlining worlds.
Sproutliner is
just a gesture in the right direction, but it's a beautiful one --
it's got click-drag-and-drop, it's got columns, and it's apparently
just beginning development. Its outlining design is more natural and
versatile to me than the list-oriented approach of
Tada Lists; it avoids the
click-and-wait Web-app torpor of
Forty Notebook.
It still needs user authentication, text wrapping, clickable urls,
cut and paste... and on and on. I don't know how far you can push the
Ajax
magic to mimic the responsiveness of a desktop application. But

Outline Support
Outline Support
12/09/2003 09:52 PMAnother feature that works very well in WebCore post-1.1 is the
CSS2.1 outline property. You can make nice glow rings by using an
outline-style of auto to let the UA decide how to render the outline
(proposed for CSS3), and the CSS3 outline-offset property is also
supported so that you can control the distance of the outline from the
content (e.g., in case you don't want a snug fit).
Since our glow rings are entirely controlled via CSS, you can
customize their appearance when tabbing through links and non-native
focusable objects on the Web page.
The initial value for outline-color in Safari is the current value
of the 'color' property.
So for example, to make a glow ring that uses the current color you
can say:
:focus {
outline-color: initial;
}
... since the CSS3 'initial' keyword (also now supported by
WebCore) can be used to reset a property to its default value.
You can make rings appear when you click a link by saying:
:link:active, :visited:active {
outline: 3px auto;
}

My feedback: It looks really interesting. BTW, I'm encouraged by the
EFF's proposal for voluntary collective licensing, using the ASCAP/BMI

tool that does all the things they wish, so they combine tools. Often,
this is facilitated by a standard called OPML, the Outline Processing
