buffers too. For example, ponder a hypothetical (yeah, right) library
routine--let's call it, say, new_form which takes a NULL (rather than
NUL, which is different, but you knew that) terminated buffer of field
pointers. You call it and the fields in the buffer are now part of a
brand-spanking new form. Yay, us. Anything that handles even part of
form and field stuff is welcome, as it's a pain (though I could rant
about ncurses for a while. But not today) to handle. But... what
happens to that buffer? Is...

said -- and he's found some real howlers, things that make Jack's
infamous condemnation of the VCR ("the Boston Stranger of the American
film industry") look like a walk in the park.
On the nascent cable industry, in 1974
"[Cable will become] a huge parasite in the marketplace, feeding and
fattening itself off of local television stations and copyright owners
of copyrighted material. We do not like it because we think it wrong
and unfair."
On the dangers on media concentration, 1984 Op-Ed
"Will a democratic society allow just three corporate entities to
wield unprecedented dominion over television, the most decisive voice
in the land? There are now only three national networks .... There
will never be more than three national networks."
On the public domain, 1995
"A public domain work is an orphan. No one is responsible for its
life. But everyone exploits its use, until that time certain when it
becomes soiled and haggard, barren of its previous virtues. How does
the consumer benefit from the steady decline of a film's quality?"

Why we must stop bloody Vodafone...
Why we must stop bloody Vodafone...
02/01/2005 09:34 PMThis evening I took some photos with my camera and sent them to Flickr. And when I went to Flickr,
this is what I saw:

Vodafone, my mobile phone
provider have started to turn all outgoing e-mails that go through
their system into image-full HTML e-mails, dripping with
highly-branded bullshit advertising crap that clearly they believe
I've been clamouring out for. Except of course it breaks Flickr
completely. Each photo I post is now complemented by spacer gifs,
little logos, gif text and dumb bloody icons. Flickr treats each as a
separate image. The act of posting four photos makes pages of
empty marketing guff appear across my photostream - and by consequence
all over my weblog. Effectively, with one flick of a switch, my camera
phone has become useless and my desire to use Vodafone immediately and
effectively zero.
What kind of cretinous organisation does this kind of thing? I mean
I'm already paying to send multimedia messages and e-mails via
their service - and they still want to cover it in advertising? I mean
- I'd leave for the advertising and the HTML e-mails alone, but to
make me pay for it too? Excruciating. I'm also an evangelist -
promoting picture messaging via the Flickr box on my site - and a good
customer. I pay more for data transfer each month than I do for making
phone calls. What on earth were they thinking?
I rang up in a fury and they're looking into it, but if I don't get
a satisfactory response I don't think I can stay with them any longer.
No doubt there is a way around this stuff, but mobile phone
connectivity is excruciating to set up, and covered in proprietorial
crap that seems designed to do nothing but confuse. And if it's
confusing me a lot, then I'm assuming that other people will be as or
more confused by the whole thing. Therefore, at this precise moment in
time, I'd say if you were thinking of using your cameraphone to post
to your weblog or to Flickr, then you should seriously consider
staying well away from Vodafone. And if you're stuck with them already
- ring them up, shout at them or send them e-mails telling them to
stop trying to milk every last penny of value from every picture
message that someone sends, because it's sure as hell going to start
hurting their bloody business if it's not possible to use these
services in the way that see fit...
In the meantime, if anyone knows how I can get photographs onto
Flickr using my Nokia 6230 without getting all these vile guff, then
please post in the comments below. In return, I'll give you my first
born child. Unless I actually have a child. In which case, maybe I'll
get you a coke.

On putting 'I'm gay' on a
tongue-in-cheek mock-up of a business
card (and all the bloody grief it's
causing)...
12/24/2004 01:02 PMSo I've been trying to respond to the thread about my apparent
obsession with going on about my sexuality (note - they're talking
about this) that's manifested
over at NSLog(); except now all my comments are getting bounced for
'questionable content'. I've tried removing all the rude words from
what I write, but god knows it's hard, and it doesn't appear to be
doing any good. Before anyone goes running at his head suggesting that
he's blocking comments like this to avoid debate, I should point out
that I've been having problems with the MTBlacklist questionable
content filters recently, so I'm not implying anything. Instead I
thought I'd just post it here, with all the rude words back in... Feel
free to post your own thoughts about this stuff either here or over on
his site... But be nice, eh?
If what you're doing here is warning me that by having my
sexuality on a card I might give out to people might stop me getting
jobs, then thank you very much. Clearly by my age I wouldn't have
figured that out already.
Figures suggest that people who don't meet their partners at school or
university tend to meet them through work. Clearly this happens by
complete coincidence - two people (let's say they're straight) are so
conscious that they must not be flagrant about their heterosexuality
that they avoid all mention of it for years until they happen to bump
into each other at some kind of 'straight bar', recognise their
attraction suddenly and fall into each other's arms. Clearly there's
absolutely no assumption that it's okay to flirt with each other at a
Christmas party or whatever. Clearly no one talks about what they did
at the weekend if it could possibly be construed as to make any
reference (direct or indirectly) to whether they're gay or straight or
not. So they wouldn't say that they'd cooked a meal for their
girlfriend, or go to see a film with their boyfriend. Clearly they
wouldn't say out loud that they'd had a birthday party for their
3-year old son. I mean all of these things would be shouting from
the rooftops about their sexuality. They may as well be standing
outside your house with placards or rutting like Bonobo monkeys on the
photocopier.
And quite right, I think, they should be ashamed of themselves -
fornicating with their partners at home! Giving birth to children!
Socialising with their family! Getting married! The shame. They make
me sick.
I can honestly say that I'm stunned by your statement that you cannot
see the difference between someone feeling the need to make it clear
they were gay to avoid discomfort and awkwardness for themselves and
their colleagues, and the fact that straight people simply don't need
to do that stuff. Straight sexuality comes up in conversation a dozen
times a day - by association, by reference, however.
At no point during my piece over on plasticbag.org or here have I said
that a gay person should 'go on about' their sexuality. In fact quite
the opposite. As far as I'm concerned, getting it out of the way early
means that the whole thing becomes less of an issue - not more. It's
about everyone knowing where they stand, so that they don't say
something crass in the office like, "Oh that photocopier is so gay"
while someone over the other side of the room feels it like a kick in
the head. It's so that the gay individual concerned doesn't have to go
through this whole long drawn-out tentative process with each member
of staff as issues of boyfriends/girlfriends, what you did at the
weekend, what you think about some piece of the news, whether you
fancy that bird in accounting come up in idle conversation. Because
that stuff is bloody difficult and infuriating and frankly I'm not
prepared to go back to a time where I have to go through all that
bollocks every time I happen to meet a new human being.
All of which misses the point. I don't make a secret of my sexuality,
but nor do I tend to make a big deal about it. Most people who read my
site have no idea that I'm gay. They find it a 'surprise' when they
find out. I wish that wasn't the case. I wish that they weren't
assuming that I was straight. I wish it wasn't an issue at all, but it
remains one I'm afraid. I could bring my sexuality into my site all
the bloody time if I wanted to, but I don't. I think I've struck a
good balance between making my sexuality clear and then getting it off
the table to talk about other stuff. And if you don't like that
balance, well frankly tough. I don't care whether you like it or not.
I'll be damned if I'm going to treat the rest of my life like my
teenage years and live in fear of 'being found out'.
I should also point out that you've missed a hell of a lot of
qualifying language from my post as well. I mean the very title
includes, "In a happier world...". The text itself calls it a
"Tongue-in-cheek-ish slightly-bored early-evening version of what I
would kind of like my business card to be like." I stand by it - if
anything your reaction makes me want to use it more - but it was never
meant to be anything but a throwaway offhand happy and less formal
card that I felt represented me accurately. It's true that I don't
think that the normal separation of life and work is a reasonable one
- that I think that we should act according to our principles in both,
that we should care about our work all the time, that it should
ideally be a passion and as much of our personality as things like
your sexuality or nationality or political beliefs or whatever. I
really care about my work and don't just see it as something that pays
the bills, any more than I think my sexuality is just about something
that happens in bed with a friend. But just because I'm not as willing
to distinguish between the things I get paid to do and the things I do
because I think it's the right and proper way of operating in the
world, doesn't make it reasonable for you to conflate two words on a
mock-up of a business card with a form of big swinging-dick
sex-obsessed radical queer activism!
Oh and somewhere along the line you also make some comment about how I
seem to have a lot of respect for myself, and I'm beginning to think
that's really where a lot of this stuff is coming from. If you find me
personally annoying or offensive then just say so and we can talk
about that like grown-ups. Seems at the moment that the only person
fixating on my sexuality is you.

02/10/2004 02:42 AMI'd like to someday live in a country where a quick nipple shown on
TV isn't the end of civilization, and that's not what irks me about
the halftime show tonight. What does get me about the Superbowl
halftime show is CBS insisting it was an accident,
calling it a "wardrobe malfunction."
It's funny, when you collect the evidence, I wonder if CBS really
thinks the public is stupid enough to believe it:
1. It was planned from the start.
2. There are snaps on
her outfit clearly visible, designed to be unsnapped. Most
garments are sewn together sans snaps and don't fall apart.
3. She's wearing a "nipple shield" to partially cover her breast. If it was
unplanned why on earth would she have this huge chunk of metal there?
Was it to skirt some FCC rule against an entirely naked breast?
4. Worst of all: She has a
single coming out which is coincidentally being rushed to the
airwaves based on the "overwhelming worldwide demand." Check the
timestamp on the bogus press release, it was posted before the game
was even over.
Is it all a big coincidence or is this how controversy is
manufactured to sell records these days?

Digital codestyle aggregation <
STRONG>
| |
Two datapoints, perhaps
historical. |
| |
First, Sun apparently decides
that the revenue model to beat (since charging for hardware and
software seem to be losing propositions) is selling
services. Bill Snyder (from that last
link): |
| |
Stripped of the marketing hype, Sun hopes to
sell services, rather than simply pushing hardware and software at its
customers, and have them pay as they use those
services. |
| |
Aggregation is a killer app - that no one
owns. It's public domain. Everyone benefits from it. So is integration
as well... |
| |
To start to reap the benefits of digital
lifestyle aggregation - you need to get smart about architecting
systems that rely upon XML, open standards and web
services. |
| |
So personalization and customization find
their destiny intermixed with Integration and Aggregation. The only
way to produce compelling enough experiences is by integrating a wide
range of built-in constructs, combining that with agregated web
servcies and content and topping it all off with unprecedented levels
of control and customization. In one product or
service. |
| |
All three of these tenets are tatooed on my
forhead. |
| |
OK so wait. This post was supposed to be
about 'making money' - and you're lost.
Right? |
| |
Well think about it - you couldn't possibly
(on your own) produce even half of the built-in constructs, features
and capabilities we're saying digital lifestyle aggreation (DLAs)
requires. That's where open source comes
in. |
| |
By supporting and contributing to open source
projects - portal vendors will actually be able to have their cake and
eat it too - proprietary solutions, branded memes and viral uptake.
Just give open source a try - define it to your own requirements and
insights and help out the world while you're helping
yourself. |
| |
I think he's saying "sell your environment," no?
Not clear. |
| |
In anycase, it's not about selling. It's about
renting. You rent your domain names, your Net access, your disposable
hardware. Stop and think about that last one for a bit. Your personal
data the stuff on your laptop's hard drive may change
constantly, but it's your life in a box. And it moves every two or
three years (if not more often) from one laptop or desktop or
removable drive or remote host to another. What you pay for a new box
almost amounts to a revolving charge, an annuity.
Rent. |
| |
So you charge on a project basis to build stuff,
then you rent out your space or your services. Oldest models in the
world. |
| |
Welcome to the land of deflated but sustainable
margins. Also the land of the finally grown-up computer
business. (When it gets there, which it isn't
yet.) |
| |
Look at it this way: It's the work,
stupid. A new slogan I'm trying on for size. Serves in
architecture, design, construction, and a pile of other fields from
which the computer biz borrows its lingo. Why not here too? [D
oc Searls] |
Marc's add-on.....
This is getting fun.
Having folks like Doc add their two cents to this is like
collaboratively writing a business plan...
a) As usual I learn more from Doc by just listening. I don't
necessarily see it as "sell your environment" as much as "give away
compelling experiences - that if they're done right - will
have PLENTY of good old fashioned advanced features that people will
pay for. Only folks who appreciate and can gain value from
software should have to pay for it. Every vendor has to figure
out the seam between free and paid (as 6A just did.)
b) One thing about this rental angle that Doc adds in - is that
you're also renting access to a community of others just like you -
doing the same thing. That's what's cool about the AlwaysOn
Network right now. There are otehrs blogging about teh same
stuff and collectively we present a group voice. Lots of other
examples of this sort of juju out there. Now there's one that
tightly coupled to a social network -as well. Again putting
things into context (which is what danah has been screaming
for......)
c) Finally - Doc reminds us
all that the REAL savings is not in less licesning fees, but in
self support. How much IT money is spent on training, support,
and migration? What if everyone could support each other?
I mean - Oh My God! All this AND I get to be
called a leader in the Open Source Widget business?
Why wouldn't portal jump on board? I just hope Terry
Semel, Ruppert Murdoch and Richard Branson grok this. I think Barry
Diller does.

think the proper thing for Michael Moore to do was to ask? If
Bradbury was pro-Bush,
he wouldn't have wanted the title of his works being used for
Michael Moore's movie.
For him to just blatently use the title like that is just plain
asinine.
As to your comment about Orson Scott Card being homophobic, I don't
see what is wrong
with being homophobic. If there is nothing stupid about being
afraid of heights or
spiders, why is being homophobic stupid?
