Too many Christmas lights?
12/10/2003 07:56 PM Is there such a thing as
too many Christmas lights? I love seeing
lavish
displays of lights at Christmas time. Some folks like a few
old-fashioned
Christmas lights and some like to deck the halls in a blaze of
glory
(this one boasts 700,000 lights). And
how
much does it cost to run a fabulous display?

11/13/2003 07:42 PMPHP.net has a new feature on their search page - a really nice
implementation of an auto complete text widget in Javascript. Even
better, the search page is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and uses CSS for the layout. Let's
hope this is an indication of things to the come for the rest of the
site, which still mostly consists of tag soup.
Here's the ugly bit: the javascript for the auto complete function is
deliberately obfuscated. Now I know that this decision is completely
up to the author of the script, but personally I find it exasperating.
PHP is an open
source project, and obfuscation in this way is the antithesis of the
open source ideal. A big part about open source is that people
shouldn't have to invent something twice - why waste duplicated effort
when sharing code costs nothing and benefits everyone? I'm sure the
author had their reasons for hiding the code in this way but to me it
seems like a wasted opportunity to teach site visitors a useful new
trick. A bug concerning the obfuscation has already been raised in PHP's bug tracker but was closed without a
full explanation.
Obfuscation of client side code such as Javascript is a pretty
futile exercise in any case. Most of the effect of the obfuscation can
be easily reversed using a tool such as Jesse Ruderman's view variables bookmarklet, which displays all variables on a
page (including ones that contain decoded content from obfuscated
variables) and pretty-prints functions to make them more readable.
It's impossible to prevent "theft" of your Javascript, but if you
really want to stop people from using it the best you can do is to
place a copyright notice in the code and ask people to contact you for
licensing options. If it's on the web, people can take it. Clear
copyright messages are a far more ethical deterrent than ineffective
tricks.

12/24/2003 11:04 AMThe longer I work with large corporate intranets, the more I am
amazed at how ugly they are. Ugly in that special Internet sense: they
use unusual authentication schemes, have plain weird URL design, the
list goes on. I particularly find the URL design annoying: in an
intranet redesign, you're often required to recombine existing stuff,
but if pages don't have unique URL's you're kinda stuck. What was ever
wrong with giving every destination page a unique URL?

06/02/2004 12:07 PMEvermore Integrated Office is an extremely promising new Java-based
office suite that currently runs on both Linux and Windows, with
versions slated for Mac and Solaris. EIOffice is a remarkably faithful
clone of Microsoft Office, with a twist -- it provides a level of
integration unmatched by any office suite on the market. It's not
without problems, though, a couple of which take EIOffice out of the
running for some organizations.

04/09/2004 04:10 PMReady for a re-redesign? I am. A long time ago (in a galaxy quite
close to ours), Stephen and I were working on a very basic shell for
Lockergnome. I took that code and started tweaking it this morning.
The elements are falling into place, but it's far from clean. Meryl's
helping me tweak it this weekend, but my hope is to lay something into
the official site before next weekend. My aim is to stay clean, fast,
and efficient. You may wonder why we even bothered to roll out the
(current) White Album? A new backend, pure and simple. We're dev'ing
our own CMS that'll help us create newsletters, syndicated feeds, Web
pages, etc. In order for other processes to begin, we had to put
something different online. The result was a bit... dirty. But hey -
this is the f*cking Internet. Just have a little patience, eh? The
results will be well worth it. If you'd like to collaborate, just let
me know; I'll be cracking code for the next X days....

Dealing with the Good, the Bad, and the
Ugly Feeds
01/16/2004 01:02 PM
It's amusing to me that so many bright engineers are fighting
inside a paperbag over
the issue of what to do with bad feeds. For some reason,
probably human nature,
they have limited themselves into finding a solution at the
spec and parser implementation
level when there is no solution there and the discussion has
devolved into exchanging
“is so“ and “is not“.
The Biased
Liberal post offers a solution at the UI level without
irritating the user.
The problem can also be solved at marketing and legal level
although I favor the UI
level solution.
One rather amusing (?) thought I occasionally use to pull
myself out of a hole
is that the ultimate solution to every problem is world
destruction. All right,
it's not funny, but it does shake me out of the box. As to
the implementation,
it's easy if you believe a tree falling without an observer makes
no sound.
Update:
Looks like the XML-DEV got thrown into the paperbag as well.
There is now a
long ongo
ing
thread on Postel's Law, exceptions, and what to do with bad
feeds. Elliotte
Rusty Harold did ment
ion my Biased
Liberal solution, but XML-DEVers seems to prefer talking about
parsers, specs,
what the world wants and needs, theories, history, scenarios,
etc. Well, they
seem to be enjoying themselves so let's not bother them.
