01/08/2003 04:08 PMSuccess! I understand a bit of the object/interface model I'm working
with--at least enough to add some functionality and not have it blow
up. It compiles and runs. I've sucessfully extended my first real Java
code in a meaningful way....

sound of her breathing or to the
sound
of her swallowing, and if those noises
sound okay then I’m

sounds of the house to make sure
monsters don’t come

Gareth Branwyn
points us to a "nice animated video for an equally nifty acoustic
version of Radiohead's anthem of geekly alienation: Creep. Decent
psycho-geographic mapping of the late '90s tech boom/bust too." Gareth
is right--the piece is quite beautiful and dark.

Know what you're listening to
Know what you're listening to
12/02/2003 01:23 AMIt's becoming increasingly difficult to know exactly what it is you're
listening to on the radio now that DJs almost never announce the names
of the songs they're playing (though, there are a few different
services that can help, like Shazam, which sadly isn't out here yet,
not to mention satellite radio, which usually includes track
information). Anyway, if you want to be able to look at your radio and
know exactly what it is that's playing, there's a new tabletop
radio/CD player from Cambridge SoundWorks called the SoundWorks Radio
CD 740 which uses Radio Data Service information to display the song
title and artist of whatever it is your listening to on the radio.
Almost certainly something that is going to start showing up in more
and more radios. Read [Thanks, Kit]...
Listening
Listening
12/06/2003 04:32 PMI’ve written before about how listening is the most important
skill a software developer can have.
One part of listening is the art of listening to feature requests.
Sometimes you get a feature request that describes a problem and
proposes a solution that’s right on the mark: all you have to do
is implement it. Sometimes you get a feature request that’s just
about right, and with a little modification and back-and-forth you end
up with the right thing.
And other times you get feature requests that describe a problem but
propose a solution that’s not right. So the art here is
listening to the problem. Sometimes it’s not always plain, you
have to figure it out (often by asking questions of the person who
made the request).
For example: think about how Exposé must have come about. Users
made requests about ways to find a given window easily when you have a
bunch of windows open. I imagine people suggested solutions like a
system-wide window menu.
But what Apple did in this case was listen to the problem rather than
specific solutions, and they came up with a solution that probably
nobody had asked for—but that works wonderfully (and that, as a
bonus, delights people who use it).
Not every feature request will be solved so dazzlingly. Most requests
are for small problems with simple solutions. But it’s worth
keeping Exposé in mind as an example of the art of listening.

05/31/2004 01:15 AMPerhaps here's something the brand new iPod division in Apple can
ponder on... invent a headphone / earphone that is aware when the user
has it on the ears.
This is so that the iPod / iTunes /
RealPlayer / Windows Media Player can automagically sense that the
user has removed the headphone from the ears, and can proceed to pause
the current tune / audiobook / broadcast for the user.

Oh, So You Are Not Listening?
07/25/2004 01:02 AMJas
on Snell describes a new feature of the iPod, where the music will
automatically pause when you pull out your headphones from the
iPod.
The world is now waiting for Apple to invent a new
headphone which can detect whether you are listening to your tunes.
Imagine: you are grooving to your iPod, a phone ring, you pull out
the headphone from your ears to attend to the phone, and the music
automatically pauses. After the phonecall, you put back the headphone,
and the music automatically re-start from where you left off. Cool,
isn't it?

Listening to the chatter
Listening to the chatter
02/05/2005 09:31 PM
I'm sitting in building 33 waiting for the Bill Gates keynote to
start, listening to the chatter. A guy behind me is asked whether
he'll make the investment in VSTO 2005. He's on the fence. "I've been
doing a lot of the stuff you see here for years in VB," he says. "And
there's no upgrade from VSTO 2003 to VSTO 2005 -- you have to buy it
all over again." Stilll, he appreciates the productivity gains as as
you climb the VBA -> VSTO 2003 -> VSTO 2005 ladder. He'd like to
convince his money people to write the check, but isn't sure they
will. And then he makes this interesting point: "With the VB solution,
if somebody changed one cell they'd break you," he says. "Now the tool
insulates you from those changes."

What is the Sound of One Ear Listening?
12/02/2003 12:36 AMPaul Gilster writes about the problem of audiences at events with
Wi-Fi access: The not-so-silent clacking of keys provides a sensory
backdrop much like a white-noise generator. You speak, and a constant
barrage of tippity tap tap clack clickety clack echoes in the
background. It's not symmetrical: at times, people listen and the
typing stops. Other times, one lone typer hammers away--is he or she
blogging what you're saying or playing Doom? The sounds rises and
falls randomly in different parts of the room. Interestingly, he talks
about the second level of communication being a basement meeting, but
I think he hasn't seen an O'Reilly conference in action. At Emerging
Technology in April, there were always several simultaneous channels:
it was more like instant analysis and commentary of a live event.
People would blog and post; using IM, including IRC channels; use
SubEthaEdit (ne Hydra) for Mac OS X Rendezvous collaborative note
taking; use some of the unique services for discussion or note
posting. [via Smart Mobs]...

Patterns for PHP
Patterns for PHP
11/27/2002 08:37 AMPhpPatterns is just that -- a source of design patterns for PHP code.
Will wonders never cease? I ran this by a Java programmer I know that
I have drawn into the PHP world and her comment was "I'd have never
even thought to try patterns in PHP". Just goes to show you that you
can do good software engineering in pretty much any language (and
language X is better than language Y debates are so lame as noted over
here). There is even a good start on a form validation pattern:
The Strategy Pattern is another mechanism to save endless reproduction
of if / else statements. It is used in cases where there is a common
"problem" which can be solved by one of many algorithms, for example
validating the fields of sent by a form. As with most things object
oriented, it allows for reuse and extensibility.
Taking the example of form validation, we have a prime candidate for a
strategy pattern. The fields submitted from a form usually need to
checked in some way before acting further on them, such as inserting
them into a database. How often do we find ourselves writing
procedural code like; [ Go ]
More PHP Patterns
More PHP Patterns
02/06/2003 10:45 AMMore PHP Patterns
Once again Harry has got another pattern example. I haven't used it
in production work yet but I suspect it is up to his usual high
standards:
The decorator pattern provides us with a mechanism for adding
functionality to objects at runtime, as an alternative mechanism to
creating additional child classes. In this article we'll look at a
simple use of the decorator pattern to help with sorting arrays, the
example being a directory listing.
For some reason most discussions of object oriented programming begin
with "imagine a car...", a subject of no relevance to PHP unless
perhaps you build a car classifieds website. The result is usually
more confusing than helpful. But just for a moment, this discussion
will begin exactly the same way. Imagine a car. A real car not a class
representing a car. Once a car is built, paid for and and standing in
the front drive (of our PHP mansion), what do we do if we don't like
the color? Unless we've got money to burn, rather than buying a new
car we simply re-spray it. The decorator pattern serves just this
purpose. It allows us to do things to objects which have already been
built (instantiated). [_Go_]
