fixing a hole 12/19/2004 03:48 PM

I had a wonderful time at my signing in Huntington Beach last night. There were about forty people seated when I started, and by the time I was finished, another fifteen or so had joined us.

Over the years, I've developed a pretty good sense of how the audience is relating to me, and I felt like I connected with this audience immediately, and maintained the connection all the way through. It was awesome. The last few readings I've done have been a hardcore geek conferences, you see, and there's been a very palpable "Okay, prove to us that you deserve to be here, jerk." feeling from at least part of the audience, but last night, I didn't feel any challenge or hostility from the people there, so I was able to relax and just do my thing.

Usually, I just thank people for coming, and get right into reading, but last night I tried something now: I gave a little bit of a "talk" about the internets, and the power of blogs. I talked about how blogs are a powerful communication tool, and how blogs can be used for very positive things, like helping our friend Kris when she had cancer. I also talked about this awesome auction I'm a part of to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association of Los Angeles (that is going to be so cool, it gets its own entry in the near future.)

I've been thinking a lot about how my life has changed, and I know that none of this would be happening without the examination of my life that happened because of my blog and my books. I talked a little bit about that examination, and how I discovered this thing called "the quarter life crisis," where we hit our mid-to-late twenties and freak out because we don't know what we're doing (or going to do with) our lives as we near thirty. At that time in my life, I recalled, I was struggling not only to be a successful actor, husband, and stepfather, but also to figure out who I was. My mom always told me "just be yourself, and you'll be happy." That's great advice, but it's tough to heed when you don't know who "yourself" is.

Anyway, I talked about all those things as a lead-in to the writing of Just A Geek, and to set up where I was in my life when I experienced the events I wrote about in Chapter Nine of Just A Geek (pdf file), which is what I read last night.

The actual "reading" portion of the . . . uhm . . . reading . . . was great. I felt comfortable with the material, and it is always entertaining (to me, anyway) to edit out the naughty words on the fly when I read. It was extra fun last night because people were following along in their own books, and they'd giggle when I replace "shit" with "crap," or something similar.

When my reading was done, I took a few questions, which gave me another opportunity to talk about how empowering the internet is, and how I used the internet to reassert control over my creative life. Then, I sat down and signed books for everyone there. The people who came out were all friendly and enthusiastic, and the whole experience was just wonderful. I was done about 8:45, and through the power of quantum physics, I made it up to ACME by 9:30 without ever exceeding the posted speed limit.

Shut up. I did.

Fixing web applications with
Greasemonkey

Fixing web applications with
Greasemonkey 06/05/2005 11:35 PM

In Greasemonkey FUD, I highlighted the importance of Greasemonkey as a tool for fixing interface problems in "enterprise" web applications. DJ Adams has done exactly that for OSS Notes, part of the SAP service portal. His user script ditches the frames in the interface, makes the page title more useful and adds hyperlinks to other note references on the page - significantly improving the user experience in less than 40 lines of code. The improvements are clearly explained in the accompanying screencast.

Spotted via Jeremy on the Greasemonkey mailing list.

Fixing a racing heart

Fixing a racing heart 01/05/2005 06:44 PM
Modern medicine has crossed into magic. My wife Ann went into the Brigham and Women's Hospital today at 6AM to have her tachycardia -- episodes of a racing heartbeat -- fixed. A little before 10AM, they threaded five wires up through her arteries (veins?), from her groin directly into her heart. Ann says the procedure was basically painless. Once the catheters were in her heart, the doctors stimulated a tachycardia episode and used that to figure out which circuit was going astray. They heated the tip of one of the wires and burned a square millimeter or so of her...

Fixing MSDN with Greasemonkey

Fixing MSDN with Greasemonkey 02/01/2005 09:49 PM

Site specific browser customisations have been a a recurring theme on this site over the past six months. Thanks to the ever inventive Aaron Boodman that problem is pretty much solved. Greasemonkey is a plugin for Firefox that lets you create user site customisation scripts (.script.js), easily install them in Firefox and then set which sites they should be run on. Michael Moncur has a handy tutorial on getting started.

I've already found reason to write my first script. For all of its faults, one thing that can be said for Internet Explorer is that its technical documentation runs rings around its competitors. Safari and Opera have virtually no technical documentation at all, while Mozilla's is piecemeal to say the least (let's hope they listen to Jon Udell and Tim Bray). Unfortunately, IE's documentation is hidden away on the always frustrating MSDN. The good stuff is in the HTML and DHTML reference, but information on which versions (and platforms) of IE can cope with which objects is no where to be found.

Or at least that's what I thought, until someone on IRC told me to hover over the event box at the bottom of this page. Nothing happened (in Safari), so I tried Firefox and IE5/Mac. Still nothing, so I viewed source and discovered that the platform information is hidden away in a made-up platinfo attribute on the link and revealed using IE/Windows specific JavaScript. Doh!

A few minutes with Greasemonkey and I had a solution: this user script restricted to URLs matching http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/*. It's not pretty, but it works - and I'm sure it could be made to look quite decent given a little extra effort.

Tele-Snaps:< /a> "Operating for 21 years, until 1968, this gifted amateur took considerably in excess of 250,000 still photographs of television programmes as they were being broadcast, perhaps even as many as half a million. He called them Tele-Snaps, the name a literal definition: by the direct method of fixing a 35mm camera to a tripod a short distance from his screen and shooting rolls of film, John Cura photographed entire programmes from the opening titles to the closing credits, creating usually up to 80 stills, sometimes more, as a unique record of a broadcast." One of the results of his hard work can be found here.

Fixing Paul Graham's Footnotes

Fixing Paul Graham's Footnotes 03/14/2005 05:27 PM

I'm a big fan of Paul Graham's essays, the latest of which is How to Start a Startup. There's just one niggling problem with them: Paul makes extensive use of footnotes, but provides no way of jumping from the reference in the text to the footnote at the bottom of the page and back up again. Instead, you have to manually down to the bottom of the article and back up again every time you hit a footnote reference.

I really should be finishing up my packing for SxSW (my bus leaves in an hour and a half), but I couldn't resist knocking up a quick greasemonkey script to fix the problem. Install and enjoy. If you haven't installed greasemonkey you can get the same effect by manually activating this bookmarklet: Fix Paul Graham's Footnotes.
