AP - When Major League Baseball announced a new drug-testing policy two months ago, the supposed get-tough approach was hailed on Capitol Hill. But on the eve of testimony before a House committee from some of the sport's biggest stars, members of Congress criticized the plan after getting a chance to read the fine print.

USATODAY.com - An obscure Army captain wrote the interrogation rules. The general in charge never saw them, even though his title appears on the document as the officer who must approve especially harsh techniques. Yet somehow the rules wound up on the wall of the interrogation center at Abu Ghraib prison.

ACLU seeks Sanchez perjury
investigation. 03/31/2005 07:35 PM
ACLU seeks Sanchez perjury investigation. As a followup to yesterday's post, the ACLU has sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, requesting an investigation of Gen. Ricardo Sanchez for perjury before Congress. Sanchez is accused of lying about approving guidelines for the use of abusive interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib prison. Now, many of you might think that Gonzales might refuse this request and be done with it. However, the ACLU has the right to request a writ of mandamus, which would compel Gonzales to initiate an investigation. If Sanchez is investigated, will he be pressured to reveal the identity of those in the Pentagon / Bush administration (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney, Cambone?!) who knew about and possibly ordered these policies?

Developers say the darndest things. At least they did at the recently-concluded Game Developers Conference. Can a developer really be pro-piracy? Well, it's straight from the horse's mouth:

I’m pro-piracy. I want people to play the games I make.” — Chris Hecker

I guess that's one way to ensure your games get the widest audience possible. There are some other thought-provoking comments from the developers in this week's Game.Ars, as well as news of upcoming releases. There's also very good news for fans of the Heroes of Might and Magic series... number five is due later this year.

Codin' Fool II: Software on Steroids

Codin' Fool II: Software on Steroids 06/17/2005 07:17 PM

There's a good chance this will be among the stranger posts I've made to this blog. You see, I've just come off a drug-induced coding frenzy, the likes of which I've never seen before.

Now, I should explain that before you get the wrong idea. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with sudde n hearing loss (SHL), and my doctor prescribed a steroid called prednisone to treat it. Among prednisone's side effects is an abundance of manic energy and a decreased need for sleep - in other words, it was made for programmers. I've heard of people feverishly redecorating their houses while taking the stuff, but in my case I re-architected FeedDemon.

It started quite innocently. I was running into problems integrating with NewsGa tor's synchronization API due to the way I designed FeedDemon. FeedDemon works on a per-group basis, so that only feeds in the active channel group (folder) are displayed and updated. I chose this approach to keep memory and bandwidth consumption low, and also to avoid overwhelming users with a huge list of feeds, but unfortunately it has limited the degree of synchronization that FeedDemon can have with other RSS readers.

My plan was to change this in FeedDemon 2.0 several months from now, but I found myself with such a wealth of energy that I decided to expend some it by seeing how involved it would be to make the switch now. At first I made a few small changes, but before long I was coding like a madman, creating new classes, ripping out old code and building new components at a frenzied pace.

My first day of coding like this ended at 5:30AM. My second day started two hours later. By the end of the third day I had written well over 7,000 lines of new code and reworked thousands more. Stepping back at the end of it all and looking at what I had done reminded me of that scene in The Shining - you know the one, where Shelley Duvall's character discovers that her husband has filled an entire manuscript with the phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." In my case, though, rather than write something nonsensical, I actually wrote some pretty fine code.

Because the changes touched upon so many areas of FeedDemon, I wasn't able to compile the code for the entire three days. So when I was done, I took a deep breath and tried compiling it. I'd love to say it worked right off the bat, but the truth is I had to make a few tweaks before it would compile without error. However, once it compiled it ran smoothly - I had completely recoded FeedDemon's foundation in three days, and I'll be damned if it didn't work!

At this point I haven't decided whether all these changes will be included in the upcoming FeedDemon 1.6 - I'll need to do a whole lot of testing before I decide that - but the end result of this coding marathon is that FeedDemon will have a slew of oft-requested features. In the short term the UI will continue to work on a per-group basis, so that you only view feeds in the active group, but feeds in inactive groups will update in the background. In addition, these changes will make it much easier to offer the folder-based UI that so many have asked for - expect to see this sooner than planned!

Oh, and here's how the story ends. A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Inc. Magazine for an article about software support, and they decided to send out a photographer to snap my picture. The photographer showed up at the tail end of the third day of coding, at which point I was long overdue for some serious sleep. I was so tired that I soon found smiling to be far too much effort, so I just kind of sat there like a mannequin and waited for it to end. So...if you happen to catch the article, think back to this post when you see the picture :)

Mouken, L.C. has released Rainbow, their first effect plug-in for iMovie. Rainbow is a thresholder on steroids. Rather than just making all the dark pixels black and light pixels white, it lets you create alternating bands of black and white, or the colors of the rainbow. Controls set the width of each band, whether colors change immediately or gradually between bands, and whether the output colors are all full brightness or reflect the brightness of the original image. The plug-in works with both MacOS 9 and MacOS X running iMovie 2.0.1 or higher. Initial pricing is set at $7.50.

A Cog in the Baseball Machine

A Cog in the Baseball Machine 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
Last month I went to an all-day umpiring workshop, and today was the Little League Opening Day parade. As a side-effect, I’m feeling rather culturally well-rooted, not to mention erudite: two strikes on the batter, a foul-tip bounces off the catcher’s mask into the air, the third basemen charges in and catches it; is the batter out? Or... runners on first and second, pop fly to third, infield-fly rule called, the ball bounces off the third baseman’s glove through foul territory into the dugout, what happens? Then there’s the crash and howl of the bagpipe band as hundreds of bright-clad children march onto the immaculate infield grass... Opening Day!...
