Unscientific Cameraphone Tests

Unscientific Cameraphone Tests 05/04/2004 09:24 AM
It's no big secret that cameraphones, at they currently stand, are basically crap. And while what they lack in quality is easily ignored due to their convenience, it'd be nice if there were some metric to judge them by. Studio2f isn't quite taking us all the way there, but these...

Unscientific Search Engine Comparisons
Take 2 02/26/2003 10:24 AM
Unscientific Search Engine Comparisons Take 2 About six or so months ago I took my name and checked its search engine ranking across different engines. Since I just tried Jeremy's and Kasias, I thought doing the same type of unscientific ranking again would be interesting Query: dave Google: #5 of page 1 of results Teoma: #9 on page 2 of results. AlltheWeb: #3 on page 1 of results. MSN: #8 on page 3 of results Query: jeremy Google: #1 of page 1 of results Teoma: Midway through page 14 of results. AlltheWeb: #2 on page 11 of results. MSN: #3 on page 22 of results (But for amusement sake, check out the #1 Jeremy). Query: kasia Google: #1 of page 1 of results Teoma: #1 of page 1 of results AlltheWeb: #1 of page 1 of results MSN: #5 of page 1 of results Query: scott johnson Google: #1 of page 1 of results Teoma: #1 of page 1 of results -- although interestingly not for my blog but for my fuzzygroup page of writing samples!!! (my blog shows up as result #3) AlltheWeb: #2 of page 1 of results MSN: #1 of page 1 Query: scott Google: Midway through page 4 of results Teoma: No where in the 1st 16 pages of results AlltheWeb: No where in the 1st 16 pages. MSN: No where in the 1st 16 pages. Conclusion? Well there really isn't enough data to draw real conclusions. At a rough guess, the search engines are starting to handle ranking more similarly than differently. And all of them seem to weight blogs more than a bit. If I had to guess I'd say that AlltheWeb is weighting blogs the most. Still there really isn't enough data to draw real conclusions. Of course if I was Kasia, I'd think it was cool to be #1 across almost all the major search engines. Side Note I wrote this entire article and was about to post it when I realized that I hadn't even bothered to look at MSN at all. I'm not sure whether that indicates anti-microsoft bias on my part (possible) or the lack of mindshare that MSN has in the Internet space.

Always-on identification

Always-on identification 04/18/2004 11:09 AM
David Weinberger's recent essay, There's No "I" in "Identity", advances a notion of real-world identity that's so different from mine I had to sort out why. David writes:

In the real world, we don't identify everyone. We only identify those about whom we have doubts that we have to resolve for some purpose. Identifying is not the default in the real world. Nor, IMO, should it be online. [JOHO]

Compare this with the following memorable quote from Bruce Schneier's Secrets and Lies:

Authentication is about the continuity of relationships, knowing who to trust and who not to trust, making sense of a complex world. Even nonhumans need authentication: smells, sound, touch. Arguably, life itself is an authenticating molecular pit of enzymes, antibodies, and so on.

I remember this quote because I included it in my review of the book, which I continue to think is not only Schneier's best book, but also the best book I've ever read on the topic of security. ...

Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript
2005-03-29 (Default branch) 03/29/2005 09:16 AM
Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript, so that the process of converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the printer itself. This avoids the need to re-implement the barcode generation process whenever your language needs change. The project supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2 of 5, and Codabar.

Changes:
A bug in the calculation of Code 93 barcode length when using extended full ASCII characters was fixed.

Changes:
The default textpos for EAN-2 and EAN-5 was changed so that it is now a function of the supplied height. Delimiter comments were added around the encoders so that the file can be easily parsed as a template.
