When You Don't Know What the Heck You're
Doing ...
11/13/2002 08:58 AMWhen You Don't Know What the Heck You're Doing ...
Like a lot of technical folk, I frequently find myself doing things
where I just plain "don't know what the heck I'm doing". I mean the
1st 10 or 20 times you do anything there are always nuances, details
and such that just plain don't make sense. So what I do is always
look for someone smarter than me, someone geekier than me -- in that
area. So, for example, if I need to:
Figure out MySQL replication, it's a quick jaunt over to Jeremy [ PPT
]
Deal with *nix system administration, it's a hop, skip and jump over
to Apokalyptik
Learn about accessibility, run NOT walk over to Mark and then spend a
lot of time there. Just outstanding.
Get into Java stuff, dash off to Spain and visit Russell (and also
envy him being in a warm climate)
Figure out anything PHP then it's a cast of many including Simon,
Natrak, the Drupal project (reading source is good), Keith, Apokalytik
(again)
Review the latest in online marketing, power walk over to Inluminent
and try hard not to get distracted by the pictures
Do Python stuff then I need to see Mark (again)
So while this isn't news to anyone I suspect, this blog entry is
definitely tribute to those that have helped me. Perhaps these
resources will be useful to others. Thanks everyone. And I apologize
in advance for anyone I left off. Bear in mind that this was a quick
core dump (inspired by getting Pear coding working via looking at the
Drupal code base when I hit a snag).

It's a good excuse for a fight, at least in some circles. And papers.
Lots and lots of papers. But, more usefully, a type is a notation on
some piece of data that marks a promise as to how that data behaves.
(If you're looking for sheep, try elsewhere) They may be an indication
of the storage that a data needs, the class an object belongs to or
inherits from, or the values that data may take.1 Types, when used
well, allow you to avoid, or at least reduce...

12/19/2004 02:57 PM Chris Brumme made a blog posting (ages ago--this has been sitting in

thought I'd go into it before I forgot. (I'd recommend reading that
link, too--while it deals only with finalization in a .NET
environment, and Microsoft's .NET environment specifically (Mono and
dotGNU may well have different details) it gives a good overview of
some of the more... interesting issues that can be brought up by
finalization) Anyway, finalization is the process of letting an object

10/29/2003 12:10 AMI just saw an engineer take his watch off, untuck a small USB cable,
and pass it to another. The second guy plugged the watch into his
notebook. I'm a little stunned and puzzled by this. I suddenly feel
like I've been living in an electronics junk yard. What are these USB
watches? Do they just store data (like a keychain "disk")? Contact

out, we're going to talk about string data, what it means, how its
interpreted, and odds are how much stuff you've never had to think
about with it. Strings are remarkably complex things. Remarkably
confusing, too, if you're mono-lingual in a language with a simple
base writing system. (Like, say, me) A "string", for our purposes, is
a series of bits that represents some piece of text in a human
language. What you're reading now is text, as is the stuff in your

Is This the Library User of the Future?
Heck Yes!
06/03/2004 02:10 AMI had a few extra minutes tonight, so I started reading the latest
Newsweek that showed up in our
mailbox. The cover story is Way Cool
Phones: Is This the Computer of the Future? [June 7,
2004] I haven't gotten very far into the articles yet, but
I'm already loving it. Favorite quotes so far:
"Between our mobile phones, our Blackberrys and Treos and our
Wi-Fi'd computers, we're always on and always connected-and soon our
cars and appliances will be too. While there's been considerable
planning as to how people will use these tools and how they'll pay for
them, the wonderful reality is that, as with the Internet, much of the
action in the wireless world will ultimately emerge from the
imaginative twists and turns that are possible when digital technology
trumps the analog mind-set of telecom companies and government
regulators." [p.48]
"...[16-year old Adam Rappoport] also spends countless additional
hours using his phone's Internet connection to check sports scores,
download new ringtones (at a buck apiece) and send short messages to
his friends' phones, even in the middle of class. 'I know the
touch-tone pad on the phone better than I know a keyboard,' he says.
'I'm a phone guy.'
In Toyko, halfway around the world, Satoshi Koiso also closely eyes
his mobile phone. Koiso, a college junior, lives in the global capital
of fancy new gadgets--20 percent of all phones in Tokyo link to the
fastest mobile networks in the world. Tokyoites use their phones to
watch TV, read books and magazines and play games. But Koiso also
depends on his phone for something simpler and more profound: an
antismoking message that pops up on his small screen each morning as
part of a program to help students kick cigarettes. 'Teachers struggle
to stop smoking, too. You hang in there,' the e-mail says one
day....
Sales of mobile phones dwarf the sales of televisions, stereos,
even the hallowed personal computer. There are 1.5 billion cell phones
in the world today, more than three times the number of PCs....
...'One day, 2 or 3 billion people will have cell phones, and they
are all not going to have PCs,' says Jeff Hawkins, inventors of the
Palm Pilot and the chief technology officer of PalmOne. 'The mobile
phone will become their digital life.' " [pp.
51-52]
There's also an interesting World Without Wires foldout that shows various
technology scenarios in everyday life, somewhat like the Vodafone Future
Site.
I'll post more excerpts as I finish reading this issue, but if
you're trying to convince your administration why you need to install
wireless and start discussing "shifting" your content, this is a good,
mainstream starting point.

« A full moon hangs over the power tower in Töölö. I've always
thought this building has a striking visual effect since the signs are
all the same colour, which is unusual, but they converge on adjacent
sides of the building. Maybe it's only because I usually see the
building when I'm drunk and snarfing food from the Jaskan Grilli
across the street. »
Otava kept us up most of the night as his itchy-scratchy condition
reached critical mass. The HU Vet Clinic couldn't give him an
appointment for two weeks so we had to find someone who would see him
ASAP. I spent my afternoon at the vet and dragging my ass to the pet
store for a new giant bag of food and to the pharmacy for some
medications. First we try a medicated shampoo and topical pesticide in
case it is caused by microscopic mites, otherwise we will have to
start hunting down the allergen which could be a long, tedious
process. But, for now, he's sleeping comfortably without itching and
whining which is a major improvement for us all.
While I was waiting in the pharmacy, I was looking at the cute doggie
lunchbox that the pet shop gave to me for buying the giant bag of food
which opens into two bowls with a water bottle and a food compartment
when some nice old guy sat down next to me and started chatting me up
about how a metal one would be better and such. I was so tired that I
just smiled and nodded since I don't think I could have made
conversation even in English. The pharmacy downtown is straight out of
a scene from the movie Brazil with the cascades of pneumatic
tubes that transport fresh drugs from the basement up to the awaiting
customers.
Sean Burke made my evening last night when he pointed out one of the
best reads I've had in a while: Dab
blers and Blowhards. Even if you're not a geek or one of the
incestuous digerati who will find this cutting a little too close to
the bone if they read carefully it's a fun read. I remember distinctly
when my bullshit-o-meter pegged on 11 when Tim O'Reilly and bunch of
others as OSCON one year were starting to go on about how programmers
were really artists and could be funded by patrons of the art of
programming, etc. I imagine we were drunk, possibly stoned, and still
it seemed like an incredibly pretentious way to put a good face on
dot.bomb unemployment. The downside of the essay is that we are
reminded of ESR's treatise on oral sex for geeks at the end. Hurrr.

04/02/2005 04:07 PMAh, those were the days. As now, it was a healthy mix of academics,
techies, conspiracy theorists and trolls. Jason Scott has a great
website chock full of old BBS textfiles, with no advertising. What
does his collection include? Well, it's a lot like K5 if you ask me,
but maybe a little more naive. There are some ugly things down in
these archives; there are narcissistic ravings from pre-adolescent
social misfits. There are calls for anarchy. There's satanism, there's
racism, there's all the -isms in the book lurking in the words. But
there's hope, too. There's excitement, there's joy, there's every
manner of feeling being crammed down into ASCII and posted for the
world to find. It's a spectrum of humanity, and this is what I hope
you'll find, buried there, among the text. Enjoy. Jason Scott

07/07/2004 11:11 AMLocated in an historical Long Island elementary school building,
P.S.1. Contemporary Art Center has been
a hub of avant-garde art and culture for nearly three decades. Now,
P.S.1. also has an Internet radio station. As you might expect, WPS1
features an eclectic mix of programming. No Clear Channel station is
going to give you the voice of Marcel Duchamp, the techno of Todd
Sines, and a discussion with Taipei City mayor Ma Yingjiu about public
art. From this week's schedule:
11:30 am
The Bio-Blurb Show, Edition #3: Bio-Art or Bio-Terror? - In this
most provocative program, host Suzanne Anker speaks with former
Whitney Museum director David Ross, art journalist Stephen Henry
Madoff, and filmmaker Virgil Wong about the federal government's
Patriot-Act case against the activist artist Ste
ve Kurtz and the Critical Art Ensemble and the criminalization of
the American artist in general. Must-hear listening!
12:00 noon
Love Crazy, Edition #4 - Whazzup workaholics! For this session of
her music series for WPS1, chanteuse Nora York zeroes in on how much
we love our labors, especially when they're lost to song.
1:00 pm
Curbside Cassette, Edition #3 - Okay, work's covered. How about
school? Recent high-school grads Joe Ahearn and Max Kagan celebrate
their diplomas with a science-and-math music mix. Indeed, where would
we be without "Calculus Man"? Without the Beastie Boys, for one thing,
joined here by Mos Def, Sun Ra, Elvis Costello, the Pixies, White
Stripes and more.
LinkThe Italian squat scene
The Italian squat scene
03/14/2005 05:53 PM
Yesterday, I had a
meeting with some of the Italian
Indymedia community
at a squat. In most countries squatters are considered criminals and
local law has very little tolerance for them. In Italy, the squat
scene is the center of a lot of the sub-culture and alternative media.
After years of resistance, many of the squats on property which was
owned by the local government have been officially recognized by the
municipalities in various degrees. The squats have events including
debates and parties. They have kitchens, living quarters, and in the
case of the squat I went to last night, a computer lab (called "hacks"
this one named "bugs") that teaches people how to switch from
Microsoft to Linux and allows free Internet access to anyone who wants
to drop by.
After the chat in the bugs hack, we went to dinner at a centro
sociale called Casale Podere Rosa. It was similar to a
squat except the people don't live there. The place we went to was on
the upscale end. The food was excellent and they had lots of posters
and pamphlets describing the organic farming methods they used to grow
their produce.
Internet penetration in Italy is quite low and the Berlusconi media
machine controls most of what people see. On the other hand, the left
wing are fighting hand and fist (literally) with the right wing
radicals. Free speech was something that people were fighting for, in
many cases outside of the law. At a tactical level, my discussion
about freedom of expression and our "Infrastructure of Democracy" idea
of fighting bad speech with more good speech sounded a bit idealistic.
What was interesting to me was the power and the energy of the
alternative media movement. It reminds me of my theory on good
alternative music. When there is a huge force pressing down on
freedoms, sub-cultures with more creativity and power are likely to
form.

It's party time!!
It's actually funny that us East Coast guys never get invited
to any of these West Coast social events (not that we would go - but
an invitation once in awhile would just be nice).
We're not even a smart enough group to throw our own events.
Events like these makes an East Coast guy wish sometimes he lived
on the West Coast. Anyway...
If I was at the Laszlo
Systems party, sipping their wine and eating their cheese, I'd be
talking up the new Audioblogging player I been hinting and talking
about lately and trying to get built "maybe" using
Laszlo. My agenda would be to find someone from Laszlo willing
to host the Laszlo SAM radio player, similiar to what they are doing
with SoundBlox. As
the wine really begins to flow, maybe Marc can drop this permalink or
some hints to some player there. After all, isn't that what
they are after with the party, branding and finding new opportunities
for their product. I really need a West Coast agent!!
It's
official - Party Tues night at Etech.
Laszlo Systems will be
sponsoring a party at O'Reilly's Emerging technology Conference Tuesday night at the
Emer3g1ng L0ft scene.
It'll start up at 10 PM - after the day's sessions are over.
Music, beer, booze and great conversation.
The next night - will also be a party there - as well.
This year's Etech is looking to be quite a scene - what with the
Emergent Democracy day long pre-sessions, etc.

reminds of teh time we got our VC funding (at MacroMind.) Part of the
deal was that we had to be right off of 101 or 280 (the two major
arteries out here.) We choose SOMA (South of Market) and we
became the first software company down there.
The rest if history.
And now the ashes are rising from the Phoenix. Orkut is throwing a
big party tonight.
But we ARE part of a global virtual world now. It's not like Joi is

here and all sorts of secret hiding places.
BTW The party location has been changed. Stay tuned for
