Last Year in Pictures
01/03/2004 12:14 AMA Year in Pictures: My buddy Rob has shuttered
AYearInPictures.com after
giving us all...well, a year in pictures.
After publishing a picture a day for the last year I think
it's time to close the doors and move onto something else. I consider
this project to be a huge success. It was intended as a way for me to
motivate myself to improve my photography skills by challenging me to
find new and interesting subjects on a consistent basis. I won't claim
to have published 365 masterpieces, but a few of them were pretty
good.
Thanks Rob — I'll never look at a church, a butterfly,
or a ballgame the
same way again. This one in
particular is a postcard just waiting to happen. The last one he
publishes with this entry is a beaut too.
To get the full effect of what Rob was able to do with a camera, go

I wanted to demonstrate the SpamBayes plug-in for the school, and I
realized I ought to try the screen-capture feature of the free Windows
Media Encoder 9. The results were stunning. I set up a new session,
pointed it at Outlook's main window, and began encoding. Then I talked
through a demonstration of SpamBayes' configuration manager, its
Delete and Recover toolbar buttons, and my techniques for integrating
SpamBayes with Outlook's filtering and foldering. Along the way I
pointed with the cursor to items of interest, opened and closed dialog
boxes, and drove the Outlook interface as I normally do.
The resulting six-minute video had the same format as my Outlook
window, which happened to be about 750-by-620. The file came in at
just under 3MB. I FTP'd it to my Website and, because I'd chosen the
progressive-download option, playback was immediate. It was also
perfectly readable and audible. Elapsed time from the moment I thought
of trying this to the end of playback: about 25 minutes. Next time
it'll take 10. Why don't more people do this? Because it wasn't this
easy before. Now, it is. [Full story at
InfoWorld.com]
I wanted to post that video here, but I'm afraid I can't because it
reveals too much of the contents of my inbox. However, I'll definitely
be using this technique in the future. One killer application, if you
sit in on a lot of WebEx demos as I do, is the ability to record them,
play them back, and publish excerpts from them.

DAPreview found
some new hi-resolution shots of the upcoming iRiver PMC-100, the
Microsoft-based Portable Media Center that is the cousin to the
non-Microsoft PMP-120/140. It looks considerably different than the
original, more slab-like mockup we'd shown you, but it does look a lot
more practical to use. It also looks like it is probably just a
remolded bit of plastic that fits over the same hardware that powers
the PMP-1xx series players.
I still like the old design better, but I also know which one I'd
rather hold in my hands for two hours at a time.

Pictures from Madeira
Pictures from Madeira
01/19/2004 01:56 PM
Two photo albums from a week in Madeira: Part 1 and Part 2. Pictures
with "madle-" in the name were taken with the Leica, "madlo-" were
taken with the Lomo and anything else was taken with the Elph. Since
the Leica was new and I hadn't had any pictures developed with it yet,
I am impressed with just how good the photos are as it has been a
while since I've used a fully manual camera. The Lomo pictures are a
bit freaky as expected though. A tip for photographers travelling to
Madeira is to take plenty of film with you as all they appear to sell
on the island is Fuji consumer grade film which made a difference in
my pictures when compared to the Kodak and better Fuji colour film I
had brought with me. A polarizing filter is essential for the
landscapes during the daytime, too. I didn't have one for the Leica so
there aren't many pictures of scenery.
Madeira is an island which
lies approximately 660km west of Morocco in the Atlantic and is part
of Portugal. The word Madeira itself means wooded since it was full of
trees when it was discovered. Nowadays, however, it is covered with
hotels and tourists. It also has the most moderate climate in the
world with very little difference in temperature all year. The airport
has one of the shortest runways used by commercial jets which was
recently doubled in length by extending it on stilts to 2,781 metres.
Jarkko wisely informed me of this fun factoid only after we landed.
Funchal is the main city on Madeira. I was disappointed that no
tourist brochures proclaimed, "We put the FUN in FUNCHAL!", but I
suppose that's too corny even for the usually silly tourist slogans
that abound everywhere. We stayed in a hotel very near downtown which
had a casino next to it that looked like the headquarters for Spectre.
I suppose we should have gone inside the casino and had a look around
but casinos usually only manage to fill me with the urge to run to the
nearest exit with all the flashing lights and noise. This may be a
side effect of all those years of late nights spent in dance clubs. It
was a lovely hotel with a fine pool in the 70s concrete school of
architecture. Madeira would be absolutely nowhere without concrete
since the local volcanic basalt is too hard and difficult to quarry.
The sidewalks are beautiful mosaics with white limestone and black
basalt chips arranged in geometric patterns. These do tend to get a
bit slippery in the rain though.
The first thing I noticed after we settled into the hotel was the
sound of the birds; big, squawking tropical birds filling the air
along with little birds singing before sunset. Stray dogs are
everywhere as well, but they are obviously fed by the locals as they
appear to be well fed and healthy doggies living the good life. I saw
very few stray cats however. Exotic flowers such as the bird of
paradise grow like weeds all around the city and plants that would
normally be tiny, wan, and pitiful things on your windowsill are
gargantuan in this sub-tropical paradise. Christmas lights were
everywhere and on everything that could be made to hold lights. I
don't know if Funchal has the most Christmas lights of any city in the
world, but it certainly could be. It takes them several months to hang
all the lights around the city in trees, on bridges, on light posts,
on statues and everywhere else. Funchal is also one of the cleanest
cities I've ever been in which may be due to litter bins placed along
the streets every 20 metres or an army of people sweeping the streets
late into the night. I didn't see so much as a cigarette butt on the
streets of Funchal. The streets are filled with lots of older tourists
from the UK and the Nordic countries which made us feel too young for
Madeira but too old for Ibiza.
Madeira is a very hilly island which the travel books and
brochures really don't emphasize enough. If you walk anywhere it is
likely that you'll be walking uphill or downhill with some degree of
difficulty. Funchal is mostly flat unless you want to walk north of
the city to one of the botanical gardens which is a bit of a
challenge. We walked to the Botanical Garden which took about an hour
and was, in some places, about a 45% grade. The weather is cool enough
to make this a pleasant ascent in spite of the exertion. The Botanical
Garden suffers from not being terribly well maintained so the reward
at the top of the hill isn't equal to the walk but it still had lovely
views of the city below. The cable car trip to the Monte Palace
Tropical Garden is far easier than walking up the mountain and the
garden itself is spectacularly odd and beautiful. I would have spent
another day there given the chance. Jarkko somehow convinced me that
taking a toboggan ride down the hill was a good idea and it was
strangely thrilling in spite of my terror of careening down a mountain
on a contraption with no brakes and whizzing around cars. It's a fun
thing to do...once. :)
Unless you are a UK tourist looking for excellent curry or chips and
egg while on holiday, the food on Madeira is nothing short of sublime.
The grilled swordfish I ordered one evening was nothing short of the
best I've ever had. The local limpets fried and coated in garlic
butter were fabulous as well. We were told to try the scabbard fish,
Espada, with bananas as Madeira is the only place other than Thailand
where you can taste this dish. The fish is delicious but it is best
tried before you see the very ugly fish in the market. It is caught at
a surprisingly deep 800m and dies and turns black from decompression
on its way to the surface. Giant round gelatinous eyes and vicious
teeth also don't do much for the appearance of the scabbard fish. I
don't like bananas very much but the local variety is smaller, sweeter
and fresher than the ones in the supermarket and I loved a desert of
bananas and creme caramel a waiter surprised me with one evening. One
restaurant we took a special liking to was Arsnios in the Zona Velha
which featured Fado singers, a stray named Bimbo and a chef with flair
who knew his way around the grill. Portuguese wines were a special
feature. We tried a green wine that is made from green [ not ripe ]
grapes which makes the wine a bit tart and it has a lower alcohol
content. There were carts all along the seaside that sold local foods
like churros and chestnuts at all hours of the day and night. The
chestnut cart generated quite a bit of smoke at times but it didn't
appear to deter people from wading through the smoke for a bag. The
chestnuts are soft, meaty and slightly sweet but should be enjoyed
with a beverage close at hand since they will make you thirsty.
Surprisingly, the local Madeira wine isn't pushed as much as I had
expected. Madeira is a very sweet wine that is best suited to drinking
after a meal with dessert. We tried all the varieties from dry to full
sweet and I found the full sweet to be much more flavourful than the
dry in spite of my dislike of sweet wines. The sunshine was nice in
Madeira but the food was nothing short of fabulous.
The geography of the island is beautiful and varied. The mountains
rise dramatically into a treeless plateau which is a striking contrast
to the eucalyptus forest and agricultural terraces you pass on the way
up. The roads are narrow and winding with steep vertical drops. It
isn't a paradise for those afraid of heights. :) One of the more
popular attractions for tourists are the levada walks; a levada is one
of the many channels built to collect and carry the water from the top
of the island to lower parts of the island where it is used for
agriculture. There are also a number of tours around the island that
are safer than hiring a car yourself and driving around the crazy
roads. I glimpsed death more than a few times on the 2 tours we took
around the island. A snag with the tours is that all of the tour
offices are fronts for time share scams and they seem to prey on
people from the UK and the Nordic region in particular. If you get
caught by one of these grifters just say that you're German since they
don't appear to be recruited for these 'opportunities'. Book your
tours ahead of time or find a reputable tour operator before you
leave. Also, avoid the bridge from the hotel zone into Funchal as I
dubbed it 'grifters bridge' where they assail you on every pass. If
you want to spend your holiday in the same place for the next 29
years, just buy a house there as it's cheaper and it builds equity.
Overall, Madeira is a lovely place to visit for a relaxing and sunny
holiday with plenty of good food and drink to enjoy. We had a good
time but if we go back sometime, I think I'd like to stay in a small
hotel outside of Funchal and try more of the levada hikes and other
trips around the island.

Captioned Pictures in CSS
08/18/2004 10:26 AMPhoto Cards:
Here's a good, simple, obvious solution to an annoying problem.
Whenever a picture needed a caption, I surrounded the entire thing in
a DIV and floated it left or right. However, I had to set the width
of the DIV so it would float correctly, and to do this, I had to know
the width of the image, which may or may not have been available at
code-time.
Though, we have to remember the width of floated blocks
must be set (otherwise they may be spread to the full width and
there's no floating). Of course, we can solve it by setting
display:inline to the DIV — the width of floating element is
then adjusted by its content. But we have to remove all blocks inside
it (inline elenent must not contain blocks) and use only line breaks
BR. Sometimes this simplified formatting may be
sufficient.
I never would have thought to set a DIV to "display: inline." Yes,
now you have an ugly BR tag, but you've traded an unknown problem (the
width of the image) for a known one (the existence of a BR), and I can
live with that.
(BTW, I'm finding all these great CSS articles via this feed,
which has the most fantastic set of CSS links I've seen every single
day. I don't know anything about the site except that each day its
full of great new solutions to thorny CSS issues. I understand its
some kind of roll-up site for a bunch of CSS links from a bunch of
different people, but I don't really care. Just keep them

05/07/2004 01:31 PMBy many accounts, the horrible treatment of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers
and mercenaries has been going on ever since the end of the invasion.
The Red Cross warned U.S. officials a year ago.
Yet it took those ugly
photographs to turn this into the huge story that it's become.
Which raises some questions:
Suppose the Americans hadn't bothered to take pictures of each other
in that infamous prison? Suppose they'd just gone on abusing the
prisoners without cameras? Does a story exist without pictures?

VoIP As The Trojan Horse For Broadband?
VoIP As The Trojan Horse For Broadband?
01/04/2005 05:40 PMWhile many telcos are somewhat dreading how VoIP will cut into their
cash cow voice revenue, some are suggesting telcos need to take a
radically different view of VoIP. The key ingredient, though, is
realizing they're not telcos, but broadband providers (something
Verizon has said -- but it's not clear if they fully realize this
yet). Then, VoIP can
act as a trojan horse for broadband. The thinking
is that nearly all of telco customers have voice service, but a small
percentage get broadband from them (if they get it from anyone).
However, if telcos offered to swap out regular phone service for VoIP
without the corresponding internet service, they would
also have the data service ready to go if the customer ever
wanted it. That is, it's easier to convince people just to switch
from a traditional phone line to VoIP (especially since its cheaper)
than to convince them to sign up for broadband
and VoIP.
Basically, they'd be offering a broadband offering that isn't an
internet service -- just for VoIP. However, everything would be set
up for internet and other services, so if a user wanted to switch on
the ISP side, they could do so with a single request, rather than any
installation work. It's certainly an interesting approach, but it's
not likely that the telcos will move in this direction any time soon.
