01/03/2005 12:03 PMSpymac is now having an iTunes Playlist Spotlight every week from a
select Spymac member! The new feature will showcase playlists
consisting of 10 songs with descriptions, some lyrics, as well as
links to the songs on the iTMS. If you, or someone you know, would
like to be featured in the Playlist Spotlight, please send an email to
kristie@spymac.com.
gogo's Playlist:
Spanish Castle Magic by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
A driving, rockin' tune featuring some of Jimi, Mitch Mitchell & Noel
Redding's tightest studio playing. Hell, the whole album is awesome!
"It takes about a half and a day to get there if we travel by my uh,
dragon-fly. No it's not in Spain but all the same you know, it's a
groovy name..."
Communication Breakdown by Led Zeppelin
And now, the other half of 60's/70's rock. Hard hittin' drums, tight
guitar playing, and then there's John Paul Jones bass playing & Robert
Plants indescribable vocals. Classic Zeppelin.
"Communication Breakdown, it's always the same. I'm having a nervous
breakdown, drive me insane!"
Paranoid Android by Brad Mehldau Trio
Radiohead is a brilliant band, and this jazz cover of THE tune from OK
Computer is equally brilliant. Three parts jazz trio, one part
electronic mayhem, Mehldau, Larry Grenadier & Jorge Rossy demonstrate
that they've got some SERIOUS chops. The soloing over the changes is
equally in tune with the vibe of the song.
Giant Steps by John Coltrane
If you happen to be a jazz musician, you know why I listed this song.
If not, here's the deal: Trane's writing and playing on this song is
unbelievable. The melody flies past, the song changes keys every 4
bars, and it STILL swings HARD. Of course, with Tommy Flanagan on
piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums, anything could
swing. Trane's solo here is absolutely staggering though. The fact
that he could spontaneously come up with melodies at that speed is
just staggering; putting him on the same level as Bird or Cannonball
Adderley.
The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines by Joni Mitchell
From Joni's excellent, if oft-ignored or even maligned, album
"Mingus", a tribute to the fiery bassist/composer, this tune shows of
Joni's pitch-perfect vocal abilities alongside Jaco Pastorius' bass
playing (which speaks for itself) as well as his horn arrangements and
Wayne Shorter's minimalistic soprano saxophone solo.
"But the cleaner from Des Moines Could put a coin. In the door of a
John And get twenty for one..."
Nyack (live) by Lettuce
Two versions of this tune are on Lettuce's album "Outta Here"; the
studio recording, which is ridiculous, and this 13 and a half minute
high speed JAM, which, slightly lesser quality aside, shows that live
music is still where it's at. Featuring Eric Krasno (Soulive) on
guitar and Adam Deitch (John Scofield Band) on drums, this band just
cooks their way through this album. The trading between the other
instruments and the drums about halfway through shows off Deitch's
SERIOUS chops.
Goodbye Pork Pie Hat by Paolo Fresu Quintet
One of the most beautiful ballads ever; written by Charles Mingus for
his departed friend Dexter Gordon (who always wore a pork pie hat).
This rendition of it seriously draws out the emotional content of the
song; Paolo's muted trumpet sound (a la Miles Davis) really lends
something to the song, with the rest of his quintet (a group of
Europeans whose names may not be big here, but should be: Tino
Tracanna, tenor sax; Roberto Cipelli, piano; Attilio Zanchi, bass;
Ettore Fioravanti, drums) really digging in & pulling everything they
can out of this tune.
Loosen Your Hold by South
A song I randomly picked up from a friend, this English trio features
some unusual instrumentation (harpsichord & banjo) throughout this
song, as well as some VERY Beatles-esque vocal harmonies. Beautiful,
with lush strings, yet driving, this is a gem in my massive
collection.
Dexterity by The Roy Hargrove / Christian McBride / Stephen Scott Trio
An unusual, but very hip rendition of Bird's classic tune; it's a
drummer-less trio, with Roy on trumpet, Christian on bass and Stephen
Scott on piano. Excellent, intimate playing by this trio.
Hang Up Your Hang Ups by Herbie Hancock
(This is a link to the album on the iTMS; Hang Up Your Hang Ups isn't
on there at the moment, but hopefully it will appear in the future).
THE funkiest track by Herbie and the Headhunters; Mike Clark on drums,
Paul Jackson on bass, Bennie Maupin on sax, Wah Wah Watson on guitar,
RIDICULOUS!

Roller 1.2-dev
Roller 1.2-dev
06/05/2005 11:32 PM
This site is now running Roller 1.2-dev (the latest from Roller's CVS
HEAD), which includes
Allen's cool new
configuration system,
Anil's new
configurable ping
feature and Anil's new topic tags plugin which makes it easy to add
Technorati tags to any post, for example:
Tags:
RollerWeblogger
Update: I'm not sure why Technorati is not picking up my tag.
The tag looks to be properly formatted and I have "pinged" Technorati
several times now (included a couple of manual pings).
What happens after Roller 1.0?
What happens after Roller 1.0?
01/07/2005 12:07 AM
Now that we're getting down to the last couple of bugs, it's time
to
think about what comes after Roller 1.0. I've been reviewing the bug
database and making sure all the things folks have been asking for are
in there as bugs, new features, or improvements. I've put together a
list of the new feature areas that I personally think are most
interesting with links into our
JIRA issue tracker.
I'm posting this to get feedback from anybody and everybody willing
to give it, but this is not a democratic process. My manager will
ultimately determine what I work on (since the book eats all of my so
called free time) and the other Roller developers
will decide what they each want to work on. But we'd all like to hear
what you, the Roller users and fans and victims (like Charles at
Javablogs.com) have to say. You can respond here, on your blogs, in
the
issue tracking system (as votes or comments), or on the Roller mailing
lists.
Group blogging
Group blogging is a long requested feature. We've always known that
eventually, each user would have more than one blog and each blog
could
have more than one user (
ROL-598).
We've also discussed the idea of a simple workflow, where only
designated "editors" in a group blog can post and regular authors can
only save drafts (
ROL-599).
Better front page / community area
Better front page and community features are also much requested.
We
need better ways to explore the blogs on a Roller server, better
reports, and some way to browse users. Right now, you can only see who
posted recently and the top 40 blogs for the day, based on hit counts
(
ROL-561).
Rick Ross has suggested adding a language field for each weblog entry,
so that visitors can switch between the all languages front page to
view only French
entries, only Spanish, or whatever they prefer (
ROL-423). We've also discussed the idea of adding a community
aggregator to the fron page (
ROL-596).
Better comment management
We've come a long way with comment spam protection in Roller 1.0,
but have a ways to go. We have both CAPTCHA and simple math-question
comment authenticators, but we could use some others. And we need
better ways to manage, edit, and even bulk delete comments (
ROL-563).
Better plugin support
We have plugins now -- such as the read-more, wiki, and others --
but they could do so much more. We have discussed a proposal to expand
plugin support to allow plugins to add arbitrary metadata to blog
entries and to allow plugins to hook into the weblog editor (
ROL-601). Such a plugin would make it very easy to add support for
Podcasting (
ROL-597).
Better URLs and GUIDs
Tim Bray commented on Roller's "lame" perma-links, which need
fixing (
ROL-594).
Also, Roller permalinks include the publication dates which can be
changed so they don't really make good GUIDs -- we should fix that as
well (
ROL-595).
We'd better fix those are the same time too, so that Charles at
Javablogs.com doesn't have to endure multiple floods of new JRoller
and
blogs.sun.com entries.
Administrative Improvements
Changes are also needed to help support Roller administrators. For
example, a Roller admin should have a super-user capability so that
they can view, edit, and delete any blog entry or comment in the
system. (
ROL-600). To ease the pain of Roller installs, we need a real
installer
(we've discussed this on mailing list and IRC, but there is no JIRA
issue). And poor old bug #9
which calls for a forgot-my-password page, has been ignored
for far too long.
That's all I have for you tonight. Now it's your turn. What
features do you think Roller needs most?

lists or join us in the #roller IRC chat room on
Freenode. BTW, I'll be updating the
User Guide for 1.0 next
week.

12/29/2004 11:21 AM
I'm doing what I can to help folks with Roller 1.0RC2 issues this
week, but I'm not doing any substantial work on Roller. I'm using the
Winter break to work full-time on
Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds in
Action, so the 1.0 release will have to wait until the new year.
The good news is, although there are some
bug reports rolling in (pun always intended), Roller 1.0 has been
running very well at
blogs.sun.com.

next week.

IN PROGRESS show manifest in the Pixel Roller, by Stuart Wood and
Florian Ortkrass.
It can be viewed like a hand printer, the
pixel roller can roll out any image, video or text manually, at any
speed or direction, round corners and over surfaces. ... The pixels
are in the form of a series of 12 ultra bright UV LEDs situated along
its axis. These UV LEDs excite phosphorescent ink and leave trails of
pixels that fade with time.
They're working on a paint
version as well, which will let you use inks to paint any surface
directly and watch them glow. The project page has a video gallery so
you can see the Pixel Roller in action.

The full

1.0RC2 announcement can be found on the Roller project blog. In
addition to lots of bug fixes, we also added a new
JCaptcha based comment
authenticator. I've got it running on this site if you'd like to try
it out.
JCaptcha integration was really easy because JCaptcha developer
Marc-Antoine Garrigue did all the work. He implemented the Roller
CommentAuthenticator interface and
documented the integration process. Now all you have to do to enable
CAPTCHA support in Roller is to uncomment a line in Roller's web.xml
file. Thanks Marc-Antoine.
Roller 1.0 is very, very close, possibly only a day or two away. I'm
still fighting a mysterious bug that is preventing Firefox 1.0
browsers from logging into my test server. We use Apache mod_rewrite
to rewrite the blogs.sun.com URLS, so we can have
http://blogs.sun.com/<username> redirect to
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/<username>. For
some reason, this prevents Firefox 1.0 from logging in (via standard
Servlet Authentication). All other browsers work fine and if I turn
off mod_rewrite Firefox 1.0 works too.
Levels of Roller Customization
Levels of Roller Customization
02/01/2005 10:02 PM
Junkfood has a nice summary of the different levels of Roller
customization and the documentation you need to do customization. He
writes "Roller is poorly documented" and he's right. I haven't updated
the user guide since 0.9.8 and the macro reference, which is
auto-generated from tags in the Velocity code just doesn't cut it. I'm
working on user and install docs now. Next up are the customization
docs.
Here are Junkfood's levels of Roller customization:
1. Edit CSS stylesheets to customize styles.
2. Edit page templates to add/delete/move page elements and Roller
macros.
3. Select different theme packages to get different base page
templates and CSS stylesheets.
4. Create and use new macros.
5. Override existing Roller macros.
6. Change Roller configuration and installation.
7. Change Apache configuration.
8. Edit Roller source code.

I
had to make one minor change in Roller 1.0's Secure Login feature. I
found that, when Roller is running behind a web switch, I can't rely
on request.isSecure()
to tell me if I have an HTTPS connection. I had to add an (optional)
request header test. In my case, I have to test for a header named
X-SSL to determine if HTTPS is active.

Configurable pings for Roller?
Configurable pings for Roller?
03/31/2005 08:04 PM Currently, a Roller user can ask
Roller to "ping" weblogs.com when a new post is made. That was a nice
feature back in the day, but in modern times there are many different
ping targets. Some users might prefer to ping Javablogs.com, while
others might prefer to ping Technorati. Some might even want to
configure a different ping target for each weblog category.
Anil
Gangolli has written a
proposal for configurable pings in Roller and has asked for
comments. If you're interested in joining the discussion you can join
the Roller dev mailing list,

Roller planning done, now I'm heading

04/13/2005 10:40 PM
I've had a very productive week so far in MPK and I'm heading home
early tomorrow.
Working with new blogs.sun.com
developer Allen Gilliland, I wrapped up
first drafts of requirements and design for group blogging in Roller
(check the
wiki if you want the details).
Allen and I also spent a lot of time discussing possible
"supportablity"
enhancements like configuration consolidation and load balancing.
I posted some notes from these discussions to the Roller dev list for
feedback.
The posts spurred a flurry of comments and discussion that touched on
topics
of search (Matt R and
Matt S want to
fix it)
and ditching container managed authentication (Matt R is interested in
moving to Acegi).
I haven't been nearly so productive on the book. Before I left N.C.
I picked
up the same cold that hit rest of my family, so I've been sleeping
instead of
writing. So it goes.
Nice thing is, I was able to spend a little time with some of my
other co-workers.
Roller committer Anil Gangolli (more of a friend than a co-worker I
guess) kindly
invited me over for dinner with his wife and some friends on Sunday
and we had
some great indian food and conversation (Thanks Anil!).
And today, I was fortunate enough to run into
Tim Bray and
Claire Giordano
as I was wandering around looking for an empty table in the Sun
cafeteria.
I'm coming back out here on the 26th for the chairman's award deal.
Hopefully I'll feel better then.

On the planet page, we substitute Technorati rankings (via Te

track hit counts for external blogs.

what a bush-league blogger like me is doing up there with MaryMary and
Tim Bray? Well, I'm sorry to say, it's all due to

At the time, I actually wrote to the Technorati folks to point out to
them that my place in the Technorati 100 was undeserved. They have
since rejiggered their formulas (sorry to get so technical) and I'm
out of the list, but still highly ranked.
