Shame on you, Dick Cheney, Shame on you. 01/12/2004 12:47 AM

I can't believe Cheney changed his stance on gay marriage, and so completely at that.

What kind of father goes out on a national stage and says he doesn't believe his own daughter deserves the same rights in her life that he enjoys with his own marriage?

It's not like Dick and Mary have a bad relationship, all his quotes from 2000 supported her and kept her out of the limelight, while she put off grad school to work on his campaign and consulted on gay issues for the 2000 election. They reportedly accept Mary's longtime partner, Heather Poe, into their home and call her part of the family.

The vice president and his wife have fought for family values without completely alienating their daughter until now. I know sometimes career takes precidence over family and that Bush and Cheney have shown on more than one occasion that they can be hypocritical, but Cheney just proved he's worse than all that. He's a shitty father for not defending his daughter.

For Shame Zend! For Shame!

For Shame Zend! For Shame! 12/28/2002 08:49 AM
For Shame Zend! For Shame! I saw over on PHP Everywhere that Zend is having an Interview / Online event with Zeev about PHP 5 (Zeev = Senior Demi God of PHP type of fellow). Yesterday it came up fine but I refreshed the window this morning and then got this message: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c' Path not found D: INTERWISE WWWVC IWCAMPUS ICCFILES ZEND EVENTPAGE OI1336../../../../Include/DBConnectionString.inc, line 52 (spaces added for proper breaks in this template) [_Go_] You know something ... I could actually care less about the VBScript stuff (but it is funny) but I do find it really unacceptable that a vendor you pay money to goes down like this. PHP is a highly international community and, consequently, so is Zend. While it may be 7 am in Boston, it's not in London or Israel or other markets they serve. Hasn't anyone heard of monitoring your site for failure and then pinging an admin's pager ? Note: I'm not saying I'm perfect here myself but I'm also not running this type of a 24x7 service. Still the hosting for my clients doesn't go down.

Get Google Desktop to Support Firefox 12/19/2004 03:25 PM
Google recently released Google Desktop (for Windows users), as you are probably already aware. Google Desktop is a "desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, computer files, chats, and the web pages you've viewed." Great! The hang-up: the program searches web data — e.g. cached pages and bookmarks — in only one browser, Internet Explorer. Where you come in: Google has provided a feature request form and specifically the option to request support for Mozilla Firefox. Get to submitting. And if you have another minute of time to spare, offer Mozilla Thunderbird as an additional request in the "Suggestion" text box. Pinder, does this entry qualify as a spin-off to the Google Browser trilogy? Update: A F.A.Q. entry has been created by Google Desktop — possibly in response to many directed questions — with information on the current status of compatibilty between the browser and the search application.

Microsoft Blogger : How can I trust
Firefox? 12/22/2004 01:23 AM
Microsoft employee Peter Torr has started a flame war in his own blog today. Torr claims that the distribution and code signing of Firefox isn't up to scratch. Torr provides screenshots of the latest XPSP2 protection IE but fails to mention the poor protection in IE 6 SP1 which many more users are still using. Nevertheless if you enjoy battling it out about Firefox vs IE then this is a read for you. Here's a snip:

"But the thing that makes me really not trust the browser is that it doesn't matter how secure the original code is if the typical usage pattern of the browser requires users to perform insecure actions.

· Installing Firefox requires downloading an unsigned binary from a random web server
· Installing unsigned extensions is the default action in the Extensions dialog
· There is no way to check the signature on downloaded program files
· There is no obvious way to turn off plug-ins once they are installed
· There is an easy way to bypass the "This might be a virus" dialog"

I have run into a few pages over at Microsoft that have not loaded from time to time in Firefox, and really did not think anything about it. Apparently it is getting the dandruff up of some of the Firefox development team. I am not all that surprised, but I would be curious to have a technical explanation on why they will not load or are they simply and truly being blocked? If someone can answer that question I think that would explain a lot on why it is happening. [weblogs .mozillazine.org/asa/]

The Zen Of Button Mashing

The Zen Of Button Mashing 04/11/2005 11:42 PM
Can you get a sense of zen from a video game review? Clive Thompson is discussing his latest video game reviews for Slate, and notes that, while describing one of the games, he realized the zen aspects of "button mashing." Button mashing, of course, is the experience of playing a particularly complex fighting game where the inexperienced player has absolutely no clue of the various combinations and how to use them, and is forced, instead, into random button mashing: just pushing all the buttons in a random order and praying that something actually works. Hardcore gamers, of course, recognize button mashing as the sign of a rank amateur who has no business being near the console. However, Thompson finds that button mashing is a form of zen learning -- and that by continuing to button mash on a new game, one can get a grasp of the intricacies of the moves, and eventually learn to step out of the character and use the buttons more effectively. Of course, others might just call this trial by error, but it's probably all relative anyway.
