Seeking Out Opposites

Seeking Out Opposites 10/28/2003 11:06 PM

For the past year or two, I've been trying an experiment in my personal research and learning. I've been seeking out tools and technologies which are as different as possible from those with which I already have experience. I want to break up some prejudices and habits I have, and expose myself to more ways of looking at things. Now that I write this, it sounds like a great approach to life in general, but for now I'm focusing on computer science. :)

My success with this has been entirely dependant on free time and brain cycles, of which I've had precious little. But, I have managed to wean myself away from Perl to learning Python, developing a few apps with it and incorporating it into my problem solving kit. I've also managed to get myself away from XEmacs for hours at a time in order to weave Vim into my work-a-day life. These two things haven't been easy for me, since I've been using both Perl and some variant of Emacs for almost 12 years now, and I've done my share of sneering at that which is not perl or emacs.

And, although I've yet to spring upon them, I've also been making wary, narrowing circles around Lisp, Smalltalk, Prolog, and .NET. There been occasional forays into Java, as well as my daily attachment to Flash and Actionscript lately. And then, there've been my hefting and swinging of XSLT and XPath, as well as RDF, countered by a few feints with plaintext shell tools and YAML. There's been more, but most investigations have been too tentative to mention.

If there's a "holy war" between two things, I want to explore them both. I tend to see two apparently intelligent parties in an extended debate over which of them has a hold on the One True Way. In my experience, though, there's a high likelyhood that such a phenomenon points toward a real truth which lies somewhere inbetween. (This, of course, ignoring such cases where one party is correct, and the other is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!) There tend to be very good reasons why smart people on either side of a fence have taken up with what they have, and I want to know both sides thoroughly. I know full well that both sides have at least some valid criticisms against the other, but I want a synthesis of the two.

In this field of computer science, there are as many ways of working with the dreamstuff as there are ways of structuring thoughts. And, rather than there ever being One True Way to do things, there will always be another smart person developing another powerfully expressive and insightful way of doing things. Someday, I'd like to be one of those smart people, so I need to have a sense for that truth in the middle that other One True Ways bracket and zero in on. And then, I want to know enough to jump out of the frame altogether, and in which ways I can invert and twist things to encircle some new spark.

Someday in the next few years, I'd like to get back into school so I can get to even higher levels of growing up to be a computer scientist. But for now, it's back to work for me. And, if you happen to think of any geeky holy wars, let me know. I'm collecting them for study.

Having not gotten her number, or apparently her name, he decided that spamming was the way to find her. In this world, at this time, one would think he would know better. I smell a new meme arising!

Desperately Seeking ... Algorithms !

Desperately Seeking ... Algorithms ! 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Desperately Seeking ... Algorithms ! I know, I know. Single guy on a Sunday morning shouldn't be searching for algorithms. Such is the nature of a dedicated geek though. Here's the request, appropriately enough written as a personals ad: You: Small, petite, memory shy algorithm able to take a few hundred bytes of text and return to me the correct natural langauge codes i.e. give me "jp" or "il" or anything more correct than what's normally in the element. Me: Aspiring RSS search engine looking to broaden my horizons, experience new urls and (gasp) boldly recognize languages correctly. Other: Special points given for being written in PHP. Extra points given to red heads (oops -- wrong context; scratch that). Goal: Long term embedded relationship but will date before marriage. I know this exists. I can even remember sitting in an office in Albany, NY one day talking with John Munson (whose email address I no longer have) and discussing it. I cannot, for the life of me, remember how it worked or its name. And I'm googling poorly this fine morning. Thoughts? Anyone out there got any code to toss my way? Example of Why I need It: Here's a blog and here's its rss feed. Now here's its language element: en-us. And there's the problem -- this isn't english by a long shot. But I don't think the problem is to require everyone out there to set this properly. As they say "sh*" happens and computers are supposed to be smart enough to recognize this. Note to hlb -- I'm not singling you out here guy, you're just one of the hundreds if not thousands of blogs with a mis-set language field and you're just the example I happened to grab at random. This posting also ensures I can find my test case when I need it again so at least by posting this, you know that I'm going to try and get at least your case fixed.

Seeking a More Intuitive Search Tool

Seeking a More Intuitive Search Tool 03/27/2005 11:37 PM
The file-search tool in Windows XP is a dog, and not just metaphorically -- a little animated puppy appears on screen to indicate your query's status by wagging its tail, panting, scratching itself and other actions. If only Microsoft's programmers had put such effort into the rest of this software! Its searches run painfully slowly and routinely yield masses of unrelated files. A gaggle of contenders has recently put forth replacements for Microsoft's search. Some are popular Web portals -- Ask Jeeves, Google and Yahoo. Some are small, obscure developers -- Copernic and Blinkx. One's a division of Microsoft itself, its MSN Internet service.

ISP Actively Seeking Laid Off US Workers

ISP Actively Seeking Laid Off US Workers 02/17/2004 05:57 AM
While everyone is worried about the offshoring trend, one discount ISP is looking to take advantage of the trend here in the US. Knowing that bigger rival Earthlink has been shutting down US call centers, upstart ISP Joi Internet is actively seeking out laid off Earthlink workers to hire in their US call centers. The company has been making a name for itself by offering insanely cheap dialup service with free tech support (all US-based, apparently), and they're finding the labor situation in the US works to their advantage. They can hire ex-Earthlink employees who can get up to speed much faster and don't need quite as much training as others.

U.S. military seeking graphics wizards

U.S. military seeking graphics wizards 12/29/2004 11:56 AM
U.S. military doctors are hoping graphic artists in the video game and entertainment industries can help train military medics. According to a report by the Associated Press, the military has long used video game technology to train pilots and other personnel for combat and it is beginning to consider similar uses for medics. The U.S. military sees technologies from the entertainment industry as potential tools for honing the skills of military medics. Dr. Greg Mogel, West Coast director of the U.S. Army's Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, says video game programmers and visual effects artists can help simulate situations military medics might face. "When you see Spider-Man climbing up the building in a very realistic way, I can use the same technology to create a patient that has Parkinson's and create motion disorders," Mogel said. "When a character in a video game or movie is killed ... the graphics they use to show what that wound would look like is absolutely something we need to expose all health care workers to."

Seeking miiddle ground on torture

Seeking miiddle ground on torture 05/06/2004 10:00 AM
The left sees in the photos what we are afraid our country has become. The right sees in the photos some "fratboy hazing" (Rush Limbaugh's basic message) and fairplay against people who want to kill our children. Is torture going to be the final breaking point between the two sides in this country? Is it the issue that will in fact solidify our national sensibilities into two and only two sides: You hate torture or you think it's great that we're finally getting tough on the bad guys? I despair of finding middle ground. Here's the best I can do:...
