Spidering Hacks
Spidering Hacks
11/01/2003 12:57 PMThe latest book in the O'Reilly Hacks series, "Spidering Hacks,"
(written by Kevin "Morbus Iff" Hemenway and Tara "ResearchBuzz"
Calishain) is out. It's the site-scraper's bible, with 100 tips and
tricks for sucking in data from the Web.
Spidering Hacks takes you to the next level in Internet data
retrieval--beyond search engines--by showing you how to create spiders
and bots to retrieve information from your favorite sites and data
sources. You'll no longer feel constrained by the way host sites think
you want to see their data presented--you'll learn how to scrape and
repurpose raw data so you can view in a way that's meaningful to you.
Written for developers, researchers, technical assistants, librarians,
and power users, Spidering Hacks provides expert tips on spidering and
scraping methodologies. You'll begin with a crash course in spidering
concepts, tools (Perl, LWP, out-of-the-box utilities), and ethics (how
to know when you've gone too far: what's acceptable and unacceptable).
Next, you'll collect media files and data from databases. Then you'll
learn how to interpret and understand the data, repurpose it for use
in other applications, and even build authorized interfaces to
integrate the data into your own content.

Mac OS X Panther Hacks
Mac OS X Panther Hacks
08/11/2004 06:15 AM
I finally got round to reading my copy of the wonderful O'Reilly Mac
OS X Panther Hacks book, which, like all of the hacks books, is
clever, informative, well-organised and useful; this one has the
additional merit of having been co-written by my pal
Rael Dornfest, who edits the line, and
is witty, silly and very imaginative indeed. The hacks assembled in
the text range from surprising things you can do with iTunes and iCal
to hacking AppleScript to making OS X cooperate with perl and Python,
but my favorite of all is the iOscillate: an iSight camera mounted to
the top of a de-bladed oscillating desk-fan, so that the fan sweeps
the iSight back and forth in a steady, 180-degree arc, covering all
those seated around a table or in a conference. The hack is truly
worthy of the appellation "hack" -- it's ingenious, funny, and
actually useful in a seriously bent way.

The Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips, and
all you have to know is how to find it. Google is your ultimate
research tool--a search engine that indexes more than 2.4 billion web
pages, in more than 30 languages, conducting more than 150 million
searches a day.
The more you know about Google, the better you are at pulling data off
the Web. You've got a cadre of techniques up your sleeve--tricks
you've learned from practice, from exchanging ideas with others, and
from plain old trial and error--but you're always looking for better
ways to search.
It's the "hacker" in you: not the troublemaking kind, but the kind who
really drives innovation by trying new ways to get things done. If
this is you, then you'll find new inspiration (and valuable tools,
too) in Google Hacks from O'Reilly's new Hacks Series.

OCLC
Research Software Contest
“In celebration of libraries and
their heritage of technological innovation, OCLC Research is
sponsoring a software contest to encourage innovation in the use of
web-based services for libraries.
Prize
- $2,500 in
cash
- Visit with OCLC Online Computer Library Center Inc., in
Dublin, Ohio
- Potentially have your code incorporated in OCLC
services for libraries
The challenge
OCLC is
providing a set of bi
bliographic records extracted from WorldCat plus a
set of services:
You may also use Open
WorldCat, either by simply incorporating links to publicly
accessible records or by enrolling in Open WorldCat's Partner Access program. Contact us
if you wish to discuss enrolling in this program for the purposes of
this contest.
Your mission is to write a program that does
something interesting and innovative with the WorldCat data using at
least one of the OCLC-provided services. You must submit a working
prototype.
Part of your job is to convince us of why your
program is interesting and why it will help libraries and/or library
users; other than that, you're free to implement whatever strikes your
fancy.”
And they were smart enough to ask Jon Udell to be a judge
– good call! I hope we see some really cool stuff come out of
this, in more than just a proof-of-concept way. Makes me wish I could
actually program. Entries are due by midnight on May 15. If
you’re entering, good luck!

Sims 2 hacks blowing up
01/06/2005 07:46 PMCory Doctorow:
Hacks for Sims 2 are spreading like wildfire:
Entire neighborhoods of Sims are being mysteriously graced with
eternal youth, while some characters are finding all their needs
fulfilled by a single shot of magic espresso. Others no longer need to
empty the toilet after potty training their toddler. Some Sims are
being abducted by aliens when they glance through their telescope --
every time, instead of just occasionally, which is normal.
All this mayhem is the work of a community of experimenters wielding
hex editors, custom programs and reverse-engineering skills who began
mastering their own Sims 2 worlds immediately after the game's release
last September. The hackers share their weird science with one another
through public websites and forums.

I just received my editor's copies of Spidering Hacks by Kevin and Tara. Turned out rather well,
if I may be so bold. The book covers all things spidering, from
methodology to code, tools to ethics; take a gander at the TOC and
browse the representativ
e hacks online.
It's always nice when a tech book adds to the discussion around the
tools it represents and gives something back. Andy Lester, author of
WWW::Mechanize and contributor of three hacks to
the book adds it to the documentation for his module.

NetNewsWire Display Hacks
09/23/2004 07:41 PMIn the full version of NetNewsWire 2.0 are a couple display hacks. One
is
document
ed by Jon Hicks. Another is a hack to add indenting to the
datelines and summaries display in the headlines table.
We added the ability to show datelines in the headlines table mainly
for the benefit of people using the widescreen layout. (Choose View >
Layout > Show Datelines in Table.) This removes the columns and puts a
dateline below each title. (Thanks go to
Alex King for suggesting this
feature.)
There is no exposed preference for adding indenting to the
datelines—but you can add it manually via the Terminal.
- Quit NetNewsWire if it’s running.
- Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
- Type the below and hit return.
defaults write
com.ranchero.NetNewsWire summaryTableIndentPixels 15
(Make the number the number of pixels you want to
indent.) - Launch NetNewsWire. (Be sure that showing datelines
and/or summaries is turned on, or you won’t see any
effect.)
You end up with something like in the screen shot above (click for a
larger version).
Another hack, similar to the above, allows you to set the number of
summary lines when showing summaries is on. The key is
summaryLinesToInclude.
We call these hacks because you have to use the Terminal to change the
settings and also because they’re unsupported. But I couldn’t
resist telling you about them.

Now available: Mr Webb's Mind Hacks!
Now available: Mr Webb's Mind Hacks!
12/17/2004 06:42 PMMy work colleague and R&D partner has a book out (with Tom
Stafford)! It's called Mind Hacks and it's from O'Reilly in
their Hacks series. So when you've finished fiddling with your Tivo or
with Google's API, now you can take that spare screwdriver and start
mucking around with that most interesting pieces of squishyware in the
world: your brain.
The book is about how your mind works and is put together, but it's
not one of those long boring books where you just have to nod sagely
and stroke your beard. Instead, this is more of a
things-to-make-and-do of cognitive neuroscience. It's full of
experiments, tricks and tips designed to expose how your vision, motor
skills, attention, cognition and subliminally perceptual systems work.
Moreover the hacks have entertaining and non-threatening names like
Why people don't work like elevator buttons (PDF) and Why can't you tickle yourself? (PDF). The only annoying thing about the book is that it would be really
ideal as a Christmas gift for Mr Webb, except he had to scupper my
plans by being one of the people who wrote it. Bastard.
I think I was lucky enough to be around when the idea for the book
first emerged a few years ago at a social software summit in Finland
organised by Clay Shirky. At the
time I think there was general agreement that it was a bloody good
idea, but I don't know how many of us actually expected to see it in
print. Of course in order for it to make it to print, Mr Webb had to
part-time abandon me in the bowels of the BBC to ponce off and have
fun inside The British Library. He has been much missed (not that he's
coming back or anything), but I think it's been worth it. There's a
weblog to accompany the book at mindhacks.com.
Anyway, it's in my best interests to bask in the reflected glory of
my chum, so I'm going to ask all of you to go and buy a copy
immediately and recommend it to all of your friends - particularly
those you think could do with some help keeping their brains ticking
over. And I expect to see some pictures of you lazy bastards
performing impromptu neurosurgery on each other by the end of the
year!
