Hot Topic: RSS

Hot Topic: RSS 11/18/2002 12:58 PM

The topic of RSS has been hot lately. I began to develop this current web page with all of the RSS features about a month ago, and I was really motivated by how the RSS-reading/developing community embraces the standard. I offer a web-based solution to reading RSS feeds. AmphetaDesk is a multi-platform application to do a similar task. Released today is new version 0.93.1. I've made a new purchase. For those of you who do not want to click the link, I bought a Toshiba e740 Pocket PC 2002 device. It is my first PDA. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the platform, especially on the availability of free software. Also, I have downloaded the SDK and eMbedded Visual C++/VB for the platform, so I would appreciate some help on that too. I have found scarce resources so far on developing for the platform, but I will continue my search tomorrow, with the help of my good friend Google.

Roaming is Hot Topic of the Day


Roaming is Hot Topic of the Day 12/05/2003 01:54 PM
">Roaming is a key requirement for Wi-Fi to take off but this writer is clueless: She seems to think that Intel's Centrino marketing program has something to do with roaming when really it's just an advertising push. The focus of this story is on technical challenges to roaming but she's missing the main issue. The technical challenges are small compared to the need for service providers to make agreements with each other so that a subscription to one service lets users access virtually any available hot spot. With those deals in place, more customers are likely to sign up for susbscriptions. She also includes some shameless promotion of a company that does business with her publisher. She cites Zinio as a "chief" player in marketing value-added Wi-Fi services. It looks to me like Zinio reformats magazines so that they look nice on handheld devices. What on earth does that have to do with roaming?? What a poor example of journalism....

Combined project for topic mapping in blogging?.

I mentioned in my last post that one of my ongoing interests is topic mapping in weblogs. Topic Exchange and K-Collector are two initiatives that I've hyped a lot over the last year. However the blogosphere still doesn't have a mainstream topic-mapping application - and I mean mainstream as in Technorati or Bloglines, apps that are used by a large percentage of bloggers.

Seb Paquet recently re-opened the conversation on topic-mapping in blogs, and Rogers Cadenhead and Dave Winer have been talking about it, so it's on peoples minds. I'd like to suggest the following...

We need to meld the best features of Topic Exchange and K-Collector.

Topic Exchange and K-Collector each has its strengths. K-Collector has a great add-on for Radio Userland, which allows you to easily select relevant topics and add them to the community server. Topic Exchange requires you to send a trackback ping to its server for each topic, which makes it more open and extensible but also more effort for the blogger. Topic Exchange has a strong user community - it's like an open source project. K-Collector seems to be aiming at a corporate market and so that's where their development focus is I think. Nothing wrong with that per se, but it does mean I'm more emotionally attached to Topic Exchange these days.

So the two development efforts can learn from each other. For example, it'd be great if Topic Exchange can automate its ping process a bit more (I'll try and think more about this, so I can offer some potential solutions), and K-Collector can keep the blogosphere in the loop regarding its continued development (e.g. more updates, especially to the mailing list).

I wonder if it's worthwhile merging Topic Exchange and K-Collector? There is so much talent in each project, but perhaps topic mapping has its best chance of gaining mainstream acceptance if we work under one umbrella "project". What do you reckon, am I getting all hippie about this or is a combined project a viable solution?

Topic Detection and Tracking research was pursued under the DARPA Translingual Information Detection, Extraction, and Summarization (TIDES) program. Since the TIDES program ends in 2005, the timing and scope of the next TDT evaluation is contigent on resolving funding issues. More will be known early in 2005. Stay tuned to the TDT mailing list and this site for details. TDT research develops algorithms for discovering and threading together topically related material in streams of data such as newswire and broadcast news in both English and Mandarin Chinese. The overview paper "Multilingual Topic Detection and Tracking: Successful Research Enabled by Corpora and Evaluation," (Wayne LREC2000) describes in more detail the TDT program, the TDT corpora (collections of broadcast news recordings and transcripts), and the TDT technology evaluation paradigm. This has been added to Data Mining Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Torrid: Hot Topic for heavy girls


Torrid: Hot Topic for heavy girls 04/06/2005 02:05 AM
Cory Doctorow: Salon has a fascinating piece on Torrid, a growing chain of alterna-clothing stores for "XL-teens" (overweight kids, apparently mostly or all girls). This is the sister-store to Hot Topic, a wildly successful chain of mall-goth stores that aggregates head-shop wares, hipster tees, Nightmare Before Christmas tchotchkes, etc, and brings them from the Haight to the mall.

The social factors inherent in selling large-sized clothes to teens are really complicated (when a group of girls goes shopping together, do the skinny girls join their heavier friends at the Torrid?) and the article does a good job of turning them up, including a coda about whether a plus-size fashion botique encourages obesity ("You don't lose weight by tough love, whether from your mother or your local clothing store. It's a personal choice, and a difficult choice -- and if I can't do it for myself, I'm not going to do it for the Gap.")

For some girls, even one piece of clothing can mean the difference between enjoying a party and hiding in a corner, or not going at all. Erica Santiago, a 17-year-old with orange-streaked hair, giant rave pants, and zipper-pull earrings, was shopping recently in Torrid's Staten Island store. While fielding calls on her pink cellphone, Erica, who says she feels "really comfortable" with herself at about 185 pounds, described the thrill of finding a trendy bathing suit that fit. "Before, I wouldn't even dare try them on. I would just guess, get home, have them not fit, and then return them," she says, noting that those that did fit were hideous. If forced to go near the water, she'd wear a T-shirt over whatever abomination she'd settled for. At Torrid, however, she found a suit she loves, black with star-shaped studs near the neck. She's now done away with the coverups, she says. "I feel more confident -- really good. It feels great to be able to go to a pool party and actually wear a bathing suit." (Torrid also does big business at prom time and Halloween.)...

But here's the problem with shopping online -- and off -- for teens, though: For many of them, shopping is inherently, or at least ideally, a group event. "Girls especially are incredibly social about shopping," says Callender of Teenage Research. When they shop online, they miss potential hangout time with their friends. But when they shop in an actual store, one that's not wall-to-wall plus sizes, it sucks. "I typically avoid certain stores because the people that work or shop there make me feel uncomfortable, says Savannah Rios, 16, of Las Vegas (who wears size 14 to 16). "There have been a few times where I'll be at a store and I'll ask for my size and they give me a weird look and tell me they don't have it. It's frustrating." But at Torrid, she says, "You feel comfortable when you're in there because you don't have girls looking at you weird because you're not a size zero."

Phil sees the light for the Topic
Exchange
06/30/2004 01:04 PM

I believe I have finally seen the light as to how the Internet Topic Exchange (ITE) could be made simpler to use and more viral at once,
taking one cue from my colleague Stephen's recent ridiculously easy shibboleth strategy for putting together conference aggregators and another from Joshua Shachter's now-defunct r eversible.org.


  1. Right now submitting a post to a channel requires people to either fill in a form
    on the channel page of their choice or send a TrackBack ping to the
    channel. Both are simple, but still harder than they should. How about
    adding a third option: simply link to the channel in your post. To make it easier, the top of each channel page could even provide some standard boilerplate chunk of the requisite HTML.


  2. In order for this to work the ITE needs to watch the participating weblogs. It already watches for weblog updates,
    so just let people register their blog or feed once and let the ITE
    pick out the posts that link to it as they appear thereafter.
Note that this new option automagically generates visibility for the channels on participating blogs with
every post submitted; this is one of the key elements
that were missing for effective word-of-mouth propagation of awareness
of the Exchange. I'm kicking myself for having taken so long to find a simpler way.



Of course, along with ease of use comes more spam. I've been thinking about this too - more later.

Aggregating Mail Lists, Sorting by Topic


Aggregating Mail Lists, Sorting by Topic 05/12/2004 06:54 PM

The disintegration of e-mail under the corrosive effects of spam has led many people, including me, to assume that mail lists are next to useless as ways to get information out to people. After all, spam filters trap lots of legitimate mail, and who has time to subscribe to and then read all the junk that comes in on various lists, however useful they might be. Zack Rosen just showed me a new project he and Neil Drumm have been working on, and I'm impressed. It's called Progressive Pipes, and it aggregates a bunch of progressive and left-leaning lists into an easy-to-peruse collection of "headlines," namely the subject lines. (Rosen and Drumm both developed technology for the Howard Dean presidential campaign and are now working to bring collaborative tools to a wider activist community.) Progressive Pipes breaks the messages down in several ways, including list names and topics. Among the latter, for example, are "Beat Bush" and "Civil Liberties" among others. Even better, you can subscribe to the site and its sub-categories as RSS feeds. While this is a targeted site -- aimed at one side of the political spectrum -- there's no reason that such an application couldn't be done for any kind of mailing list on any kind of topic. This is clever, and useful.

New Bluetooth Crack


New Bluetooth Crack 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Happy Friday:

Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.

"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication between those devices," says Shaked.

Check out the time required to pull this off:

They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair, they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

FeedDemon Crack


FeedDemon Crack 06/18/2004 09:27 AM

Dave Winer and Evan Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:

"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even test this s---?"

I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post) about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.

That's right, people who use a pirated version of FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager would write.

I've written about piracy befor e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked versions of my work: don't ask for support. I support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected - dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best. Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little better than this: The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_] Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok, not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation. Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version. Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I don't have a clue there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.

Fifteen of us gathered last night for a screening of the 1992 Tim Robbins political satire Bo b Roberts.  This mockumentary of a folksinging conservative Wall Street trader turned politician has held up surprisingly well.  In the background of the movie, President Bush is in the White House and American troops are about to invade Iraq.  Gore Vidal does a great job playing a Ted Kennedy-style career senator.  The songs are fun but sadly the soundtrack has never been made available.

My favorite part of the movie is when Bob Roberts closes a letter to a 7-year-old girl in Vermont with the admonition "Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug."

This is the perfect movie for an election-year party.

SCO Group sued AutoZone (full text of the complaint) for having used their libraries when they migrated to Linux. They don't have any evidence, but rather just say "they did it too fast, so they must have gotten help from IBM and stolen our code". (Note, it didn't have anything to do with the Linux code). The lead developer at AutoZone at the time of the migration writes on Groklaw that the SCO claims is a pile of %$%#$. They...
