A New Butler For Jonas

A New Butler For Jonas 03/14/2005 05:06 PM
It has been two weeks since Jonas Luster fired his butler.  The primary reason cited was gross insubordination — an unwillingness on the part of the butler do as he was asked.  Perhaps the fact that the butler doesn’t help with of Jonas’s real needs — the ones behind the statement I am busy still trying to sift through all those advertisements — was also a factor. On the surface, it seems that Google’s AutoLink meets the letter of each of Yoz’s three rules for determining if such a tool is within the spirit of the Web.  However, upon closer examination, it turns out that there may be some wiggle room in the first rule.  Today the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer is closed source.  The skills and techniques for creating such a thing are well beyond the abilities of most users.  Heck, they are black magic to most seasoned programmers. Simply put, if you can’t see the definition (and furthermore don’t trust the author to the point of being willing to write what amounts to a blank check), then how can a closed source toolbar ever pass the “completely understood” test? What if such a tool were open source?  Furthermore, suppose the tool were well commented, and structured in such a way that people who have even the most tenuous grasp on the concepts of HTML could reasonably modify it to remove the links and content that they don’t want, and add or reorder the links that they do want? Today Mark Pilgrim made available a new butler that is all this and more.  Made available under the GPL.  Share and enjoy. Now, Jonas, would you fire this butler too?

Rhett Butler, the NFL and Other
Charitable Causes

Rhett Butler, the NFL and Other
Charitable Causes 04/26/2004 05:31 PM

I don't normally publicize this fact, but a decent chunk of what I earn goes to charity. For example, in addition to several smaller donations, last year Bradbury Software donated $5000.00 to a local women's shelter, and earlier in the year I gave $1000.00 to a local children's hospitable.

The biggest problem for me isn't giving the money, but instead figuring out which charities are worthwhile. All too often I've donated to charities which sounded good but in fact did little to actually help people other than themselves. Or I've given to charities which were worthwhile, but circumstances beyond their control prevented their help from reaching those who needed it.

Finding out which charities are worthwhile can take a lot of time, so it's a blessing to discover a friend who has already done the work. Every year my good friend Kevin Carter hosts a "Waiting for Wishes" fundraiser dinner which raises money for charities he's researched, and I'm always glad to be invited.

I have to confess, though, that part of the reason I enjoy the dinner is because it lets loose the prankster in me. You see, Kevin plays for the Tennesse Titans, and he invites fellow teammates to be waiters. In order to raise money, those attending the dinner are supposed to pay these NFL players to sign autographs, sing songs, etc. Well, I figure I should get my money's worth, so I gave $1000.00 to see Kevin play the part of Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind.

And of course Kevin had to choose another teammate to be his Scarlett O'Hara.

Without a moment's hesitation, Kevin chose linebacker Keith Bullock to play Scarlett. I'll tell you, watching these guys act out the final scene of Gone With the Wind was perhaps the most worthy cause I've given to :)

Garbage, garbage everywhere, and not a
drop to drink! 04/07/2005 12:53 PM
The Garbage House is a bizarre but all-too -common phenomenon. Garbage houses often seem to be a product of a particular type of obsessive-compulsive disorder called compulsive hoarding. The hoarding [wmv, direct] may be of g arbage, animals, (the neighborhood "cat lady") or perhaps even "collectibles" from eBay. The most compulsive hoarders seem to be the Collyer Brothers[*], even prompting a book.

Taking out the garbage

Taking out the garbage 09/01/2004 06:14 AM

Scoble was fascinated how news of the Longhorn recalc propogated, but he missed the most fascinating aspect of the announcement. Microsoft shipped the story on a Friday night, I even got a detailed email from a Waggenerette, but the blogosphere waited until Monday to carry the story.

It wasn't that we were on vacation or weren't checking email over the weekend, it's just that by announcing it on Friday, Microsoft was clearly "taking out the garbage" (a term I learned from The West Wing). The blogosphere didn't play along. Blog flow over weekends, esp a late summer weekend, is miniscule compared to the flow on a Monday morning.

Garbage day in the village

Garbage day in the village 05/29/2004 08:51 PM

May 30, or 530. 5 3 can be read "gomi" in Japanese which means garbage. So what does May 30 mean in our village? Garbage 0 day. This morning, I participated with most of the village in picking up trash and junk around the village. Along one of the roads, there was an area that was clearly being used as an illegal garbage dump by many people. There were mufflers, car batteries, toilets, beds, bicycles and even a car dumped there. We spent the morning hoisting this junk out of the mud and carrying it in trucks to a location where the local government would come and collect it for us.

There were many children helping out as well. Hopefully this annual garage day will help educate them not to dump trash by the road.

I got a chance to meet more of my neighbors so it was nice. I still have a hard time remembering everyone's name but sharing this massive chore with the whole village was quite a bonding experience.

Reforming a garbage house

Reforming a garbage house 12/04/2003 08:21 PM
This is an inspiring story about an obsessive "hoarder" whose home had become a garbage house, so full of crap that he was in danger of going to jail for criminal violations of local ordinances. Then the county counsel cut a deal with the president of the local chapter of the National Assn. of Professional Organizers to help the craphound clean up his life -- and he allowed a news-crew to document the process.

Drum, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat tied under his chin, will supervise from a chair near the garage. Breininger is jazzed. Drum has kept his promise not to bring anything back into the two rooms the crew cleared out a week ago.

Drum is nervous. He frets about the broken windows and rotting flooring, things that must be fixed to put him back on the right side of the law. And he wants shelves so he can have his books, now boxed, around him.

"First, we get you organized, then we'll figure out how to take care of the repairs and the beautification," Breininger reminds him.

Garbage man damage update

Garbage man damage update 03/19/2005 03:02 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: (Click thumbnail image for enlargement) Here's an update from yesterday's garbage man damage report. The cable guy spliced the TV cable yesterday afternoon. He did a nice job. I gave him an orange from the orange tree.

The phone company won't come until Saturday. I was getting tired of having no internet or landline phone, so late yesterday afternoon I grabbed the phone cable that was lying across the road and ran with it quickly to the ladder and got up on the roof with it. (I had to run fast because there were a lot of cars on the street and I didn't want one to drive into the cable when it was only a couple of feet off the ground.) Then I took a bunch of wire nuts and some wire strippers and spliced the severed wires. Doesn't it look pretty? This ought to do until the phone repairman comes and yells at me for fixing it myself.
Also, here are a couple of emails I've gotten about yesterday's incident:

Jay says: I feel your pain about having the lines cut--I work from home and the loss of my cable line would be a disaster. And your garbage man sounds like a jerk. But don't castigate them all. There are deadlines--the crap has to be picked up in one day whether every house leaves one bag or a small mountain. I think there is plenty of stress too. Garbage stinks--and plenty of it is heavy and awkward to lift. I have left hot water tanks, washers, dryers, mounds of wet drywall, paneling, chunks of concrete--and plenty of good ol' household waste. It gets cleared away without fanfare, and I am very grateful. I live in a pretty affluent community and the garbage men make about 13 bucks an hour. Maybe trying to make ends meet on that paltry sum engenders some anger; for sure, it is hard to derive much joy and fun from life on such a cruddy wage. Or maybe it is the people who get impatient and roar around a stopped truck and nearly run them down all the time. Whatever. I don't call that well-paid, and I am ashamed it isn't higher. You had a bad day for sure, but I thought I'd point out how you came across and offer the other side. Boingboing is one the few things that lives up to its billing "a directory of wonderful things." Just this once, not so wonderful. -- Jay

Levi says: If you're looking for an answer [to the question "Why are garbage men so angry?], re-read what you said. When times get tough, you can fall back on your social status, education, or whatever else you inherently feel the world owes you. He, on the other hand, gets the shit end of that world payment structure. He implicitly takes the shit from people like you for being lesser than you. Feed that cycle back for years and years, and you get your incident today.

Greg says: Here are some answers:
1) He was as high as he thought he could be and still do his job.  It's a boring job.  
2) Realistically, it's not all that well-paid, and there's no room for advancement, especially without a bit of education.  
3) They can be fired, but they have to work at it.  Maybe this is his chance?  One of our guys rolled his oversize truck on a residential street in front of a visiting dignitary.  That works, but you need to be on a hill.  
4) It's a boring job, and you only get to listen to junk radio. 

Joshua says: Our garbagemen knocked over our mailbox and just kept going. Which meant the post office wouldn't deliver our mail until the mailbox was fixed (because they post office won't deliver to our door, only to our streetside mailbox--I don't know why). My wife called our landlady, who called the city about the mailbox. The mailbox was fixed (by our handyman), but as far as we know, nothing ever happened to the garbagemen who knocked over the mailbox.

The Swift Boat Garbage Haulers

The Swift Boat Garbage Haulers 08/20/2004 10:49 AM

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has disassociated himself from a much milder MoveOn.org ad that talks about Bush's Vietnam-era military "service," a questionable period for the president at best. Josh Marshall notes the tight connections, politically and financially, between the anti-Kerry "Swift boat veterans for truth" and Bush and his associates, and wonders why Bush isn't man enough to disclaim the sleaze. Marshall notes:

"In any real world sense, this is a front for the president. And for the saps who are willing to give the president the most improbable benefits of the doubt -- that this is something he has nothing to do with and is utterly beyond his control -- well, he won't even toss them a bone by making even the most innocuous statement of disassociation."

Meanwhile, the Washington Post uncovers information about the co-author of the Swift boaters' accompanying book that pretty much shreds his claim that Kerry wasn't under fire during the operation that resulted in the Democratic candidate's Bronze Star:

"But Thurlow's military records, portions of which were released yesterday to The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act, contain several references to "enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire" directed at "all units" of the five-boat flotilla. Thurlow won his own Bronze Star that day, and the citation praises him for providing assistance to a damaged Swift boat "despite enemy bullets flying about him."

Garbage Collection Library for C++ 1.0
(Default branch) 06/22/2005 02:28 AM
LibGC is a small, fast, portable, multi-threaded garbage collection library for C++. It is highly customizable, as it can be multithreaded or single threaded, and the memory size to use for the collector may be changed at compile time. It is precise, as it only scans pointers that exist as members on the stack or as global variables. It's very easy to use, since it has only two classes, Object (the base class for garbage-collected objects) and Pointer (for garbage-collected pointers).

Garbage disposal installation made
simple

Garbage disposal installation made
simple 12/27/2004 09:28 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: My parents are staying with us for the holidays, and today my father and I installed a garbage disposal in the guesthouse kitchen sink. My father did 90% of the work, since he's a lot better at this kind of stuff than I am, but I had to pitch in for certain parts, because one of his hands is out of commission. He has a rare condition called Dupuytren's contracture -- thickening of skin tissue in the hands that makes it impossible to open them. It's a genetic condition that seems to affect people with Viking ancestry. He had a "palmar fasciotomy," a surgical procedure to cut the bands of thickened tissue. So his right hand is all bandaged up. (Click thumbnails for enlargement).

We saved a few hours installing the garbage disposal by using this great wireless switch purchased at Home Depot. It cost $18 and has a range of 100 feet (we mounted it just a few feet from the disposal, of course). I'm wondering what else I use these things for. What a terrific idea!

Garbage man severs my phone, TV cable,
internet, drives away 03/19/2005 03:03 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: I don't understand why garbage men always seem angry? What's to be angry about? They are well paid, have no deadlines or stress, never have to get their butt out of their seat, get excellent health benefits, paid vacation, and so on.

Garbage men never have to worry about getting fired, no matter how badly they screw up. That's probably why the Los Angeles garbage man who snapped my phone, TV cable, and internet lines, damaging my roof in the process, drove away without so much as a note with a number we could call. A neighbor saw the whole thing happen this morning. The driver shrugged and kept on going. "Not my problem," he probably thought to himself, assuming he had enough empathy to realize he had inconvenienced another person.

Now there are cables stretched across the road. I called the city, and they told me they'll send me a paper form in the mail to fill out. That's the city's way of dealing with the problem quickly.

The cable guy is here now, but he said he couldn't fix it until the pole on the roof was fixed. I climbed up on the roof and unbent the pole enough for him to pull the cable through.

The phone company won't come until Saturday. Meanwhile, the garbage man is probably downloading internet porn, yelling at his ex-wife's child support lawyer on the phone, and watching Die Hard VIII on cable, because nobody snapped his wires. I don't like you, garbage man.

Crafty crackhead Powerbook made from
garbage bags 12/30/2004 02:45 AM
Cory Doctorow: There's a big-city hustle that goes like this: a hustler comes up to offering to fence you some stolen big-ticket electronics item, still sealed in its box -- say, a video camera. You can heft that box all you like, but no opening the shrink-wrap, as that would lower the resale value. Once you give the crackhead $20 for this boss $1000 camera and tear off the shrinkwrap, you discover that you've just bought a brick in a camcorder box. Basically, it's what happens when you combine crackheads, a supply of fresh consumer electronics boxes, and a shrinkwrapping machine.

Here's a modern twist on an old favorite: buy a Powerbook for a double-sawbuck. What's in the black, sleek Powerbook box?
