Genx Alpha

Genx Alpha 02/17/2004 07:51 PM
I just posted a Genx tarball; the documentation is separately available here. This is Alpha code, not because it’s all that buggy (it doesn’t do that much, after all) but because it’ll quite likely change once some other smart people see the problems I haven’t. There are quite a few departures from the designs I posted earlier and where the ensuing discussion got to, simply because I’ve now written the code; and I’m never smart enough to understand the problem until I’ve written the code. For those who care about such things, discussion will probably be mostly on the XML-dev mailing list. Genx currently has an ultra-minimal copyright statement but I plan to adopt the latest rev of the Apache copyright before I do another release.

Child' s Play: Part II

"Donkey Kong is 'lame.' Tetris is boring.' Space Invaders 'needs a superbomb or something.' And why play Pong when it's more fun to 'jump up and down on one foot'? Hey, save your irate letters--we didn't say this stuff. The nostalgia-nuking commentary is from EGM's November 2003 issue, in which we had kids of the PlayStation generation playtest classic games from the '70s and '80s....

It was our most popular article ever. So we're doing it again, with a new batch of brittle truckers and a new bucket of classic games....

[Defender]
Bobby: I've played this on my cell phone.

EGM: [Pointing to the humans on the ground] What do they look like?

Parker: They look like those little characters in the game Life, the little people you have to stick in your car.

EGM: Before this came out in compilations, we used to put quarters in arcade machines.

Parker: You wasted quarters on this?

EGM: Yeah.

Parker: That's so sad....

Rachel: If I knew what any of these buttons meant, I might push them....

[Galaga]
Parker: Space Invaders...all these games are exactly the same--there's no real difference.

EGM: What does this game need to make it as good as Space Invaders?

Parker: Worse graphics." [1Up.com, via Gadg etopia]

The whole article is a scream, but it's depressing that you can play Defender in a Hallmark card now!

Sites That Suck

Sites That Suck 04/15/2005 09:55 AM

Sites That Suck: This site is worthy of a browse — it's a gallery of painfully-designed Web sites (sadly, the site itself doesn't look all that great). I like the use of vacuum cleaners instead of stars to measure how much a site "sucks," and great commentary like this:

I would assume that at some point, an actual person decided that a hit counter wasn't enough, and that it needed to be an animated hit counter that comically rolled at such a speed that it caused you to imagine traffic so intense that the poor counter couldn't keep up. Oh the hysteria!

It's in blog format, so there's an RSS feed.

I told you Ecstasy was good for you. "The study of Ecstasy for the terminally ill will involve 12 cancer patients who have less than a year to live. They'll receive varying doses during two strictly supervised therapeutic sessions. The drug, once hailed as 'penicillin for the soul,' is a chemical cousin to amphetamines that reportedly induces feelings of profound empathy. It will be combined with traditional psychotherapy, and, [Dr.] Halpern hopes, 'enable them to open up in therapy so they can talk about challenging issues and resolve their grief.'" (reg rq'd)

Forget SOAP. Forget ReST. Consider the following flow. I POST an email address to a URL. An SMTP message comes to that address. In the body of that message is a URL. Issue a GET on that URL. You get a cookie.

It's just data.

You Can Pay For Your Homework Online,
But Most Likely It Will Suck 04/07/2005 02:24 AM
In the last few years, one of the biggest issues that teachers and professors have had to deal with is that many students are buying papers off the internet. There are a number of tools, like Turnitin, that try to catch students in the act, but now some are pointing out that, students who buy papers online may get "rewarded" in another way. Most of the papers are just plain bad and won't get the student a particularly good grade. Of course, this was hardly a scientific study. It was just one professor checking out a few different essays available online. However, it still makes you wonder what sort of person would buy a paper online when there's absolutely no way to judge the quality of it? Oh, right, the sort of person who buys a paper online probably is too clueless to recognize that quality might matter.

Why do Wiki RSS Feeds Suck?

Why do Wiki RSS Feeds Suck? 01/02/2005 02:06 PM
I'm a not a big fan of Wiki technology, mostly because I find the markup annoying and the random nature of Wiki changes difficult to follow. However, many Wiki software packages offer RSS feeds so that one can subscribe to a feed of changes in your favorite aggregator. But they all suck. At least all the ones I've tried do. Rather than take advantage of the fact that most people are reading RSS feeds in something capable of displaying HTML,...

We Suck. But Trust Us With Your Web Site
Anyway. 03/19/2005 02:22 AM

I'm currently looking for a ColdFusion MX hosting provider (no, I haven't found another shiny object — we inherited a bunch of sites from someone else).

I thought I had found a good one that was recommended by someone I trust, but their new customer sign-up interface threw a fatal, unhandled error halfway through the process.

So I call their tech support and actually had to send them a screencap of the error screen. Their response:

1. You may be missing the CV2 number.
2. It could be that you are not using Internet Explorer. (That is the browser that would need to be used.)
3. The security settings may be set too high on your computer.

I translate this as the following:

1. We're not error checking. We prefer to just throw up when we get something we don't expect.
2. We don't support 1 out of every 10 potential customers. New business is not that important to us.
3. Our interface is so poorly designed that it needs to get unnecessarily friendly with your system. Trust us.

I'm sanctimoniously withholding my business from this company, even though they met every other criteria I had. Not supporting non-IE browsers (and not bothering to tell you this or check for it before you start the process) was enough for me to withdraw.

I don't want to get all philosophical, but this is just sloppy. If they're this bad with their sign-up system (you know, the system that puts food on the table), then how can they expect me to trust them with my Web sites?

So, this leaves me in the market for good ColdFusion MX hosting. Preferably, I'd like a virtual server on which I can host unlimited domains (not a dedicated server — I only need like four or five sites). However, I'll consider anything. And it has to be Windows (someone else wrote the sites specifically for Windows, we just have to put them somewhere).

Any recommendations?

IE Tabs Suck Memory Too

IE Tabs Suck Memory Too 06/17/2005 04:33 PM
Adam Stiles notes that Microsoft's IE Tabs Suck Memory like there's no tomorrow: I never considered the possibility that each IE7 tab would have its own copy of 3rd party toolbars. But that's the direction Microsoft has taken. What's the problem with that approach? Every time you open a new browser tab (which tabbed browser users do much more frequently than single-window browser users), you have to create new instances of any 3rd-party bars. Ouch. Opening a folder of 25...
