Turns garlic to liquid, parmesan to fluffy cheese snow, citrus rind to orderly zest and ginger to mud. You’ll wonder how you lived without it, unless of course you’re preoccupied with other, larger matters.

MP3 bootleg, found on the usual networks
Not ordinarily a fan of these agents of Scots wimp-rock, but strongly endorse this recording from a May 2002 concert in which an audience member named Rachel come onstage to make a go of the Pixies song: she doesn’t remember the words (except for hey Paul hey Paul, etc.), but manages to work in that she loves her boyfriend Josh.

Highly flexible foodstuff. Can be baked, boiled, fried, mashed, stuffed. Good with cheese, but not for the Atkins adherent. Will keep for like ever in the cupboard.

A thousand miles from the scattershot manipulative bombast of some documentaries, this quiet year filmed in a one-room schoolhouse in Auvergne manages somehow to catalogue vast tracts of human experience and weave narrative both tragic and heroic. One of the most pleasing films of recent memory. NB: no tits or shit blowing up.

Data interoperability with Microsoft Office-based applications is an important part of real-world solutions. ADO.NET is the powerful, flexible data access layer in the Microsoft .NET Framework that makes data interoperability with any application easier and more extensible. This article discusses how to create ADO.NET DataSet objects for use with applications in the Microsoft Office System, thus creating the vital link between Office solutions and ADO.NET.

Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was


Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was
03/17/2005 03:24 AM

A 40ish friend he told me about life with his twentysomething girlfriend:

  • "I plan the dinner, shop for all the ingredients, choose and buy the wine, cook and clean up."
  • "We were staying at a friend's house.  When it came time to leave she was relaxing while I cleaned up and put the sheets and towels in the washing machine."
  • "We earn about the same amount of money and yet I pay for everything."
  • "She seems to think equality means doing less than half the work so she won't ever have to feel mid-twentieth century housewifelike."

At the same time we know a huge number of women who seem to be good at everything except holding onto a guy long enough to get married, something that they claim to want.  Could it be the case that in the old days mothers sat their daughters down and explained to them how selfish and spoiled most men are and what they needed to do to keep the guy happy?  Whereas now young women are exposed to wisdom from Jada Pinkett Smith, a popular actress:

“Women, you can have it all—a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career,” she said. “They say you gotta choose. Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All you have to do is want it.” (speaking at Harvard, a talk that got her into hot water for being too "heteronormative")

The implication of Pinkett Smith's remarks was that a Harvard girl, in virtue of being bright, well-educated, and ambitious, was entitled to these things without doing too much work except maybe on the career part.  She never added "if you're willing to do the laundry, plan and pay for half the evenings out, straighten up the house in between visits from the cleaners."

Some of our women friends do seem to have figured out what compromises and efforts are entailed but they suffer through many inexplicable (to them) dumpings and are into their late 30s by the time insight is acquired.  This wouldn't be a problem except that by this age they are past their best reproductive years and are often rather embittered toward men.

A potential solution:Find couples where the man is satisfied and not thinking about walking out.  Do time-and-motion studies of the female partner in these couples and figure out how much effort they are putting forth.  Report the results so that single women can decide if it is worth the bother.  Perhaps when they see the data they will come to agree with Isabel Archer in Portrait of a Lady, who, when all around her were trying to marry her off, thought

"she held that a woman ought to be able to make up her life in singleness, and that it was perfectly possible to be happy without the society of a more or less coarse-minded person of another sex."

[Update:  Some (married) friends pointed out that there are quite a few books targeted at women who want to get married, offering advice.  However this advice is anecdotal and not based on hard numbers gleaned from surveys.  A friend in her 40s pointed out that perhaps by coddling our kids we've produced an entire generation too selfish to make a marriage succeed.  This afflicts both young men and women equally with the difference that men have the biological luxury to wait until they are 40 or 50 to figure it out.]

In Oaxaca, as in most of the places that I've visited in and out of the U.S., it was nearly impossible to find someone who admits to favoring George W. Bush.  Yet the guy won 51% of the popular vote.  Even here in Massachusetts fully 37 percent of voters supposedly chose Bush.  Perhaps voting for Bush is like being a consumer of online porn.  Statistics show that it is popular but nobody will admit to doing it.

XML Keeps Programmers Regular


XML Keeps Programmers Regular 03/19/2003 10:24 PM
...using regular expressions, that is. In response to Tim Bray's dirty little habit of parsing XML with regular expressions, Jon Udell writes:
If the XML gods are resorting to Perl and Python hackery to shred documents, are we just spinning our wheels? I don't think so. But this is, perhaps, an unusual case. ... I can, however, make excellent use of the text stream underlying XML abstractions. So, which way to regard a document becomes a kind of Necker cube puzzle. The bad news: it's confusing. The good news: it's useful.
When the suggestion of XMLizing Blosxom templates came up a week or so ago, I (calmly) dared the proponent to install any number of Perl XML modules under Mac OS X. After all this time, it's still horrid stuff. And then there are those who, at the mercy of their ISPs, don't even have the choice of installing an XML parser.

That said, XML parsing has become a regular part of the modern programmer's nutritious breakfast. There're mouthfuls of RSS to consume, the Google Web API to Google, and the breadth and depth of the Amazon to explore. What's a happy parser-less hacker to do?

I just co-authored a book, 1/4 of which relied heavily on the availability of not only an XML parser, but a SOAP stack. Faced with the reality that more than a handful of readers wouldn't have either at their disposal, I wrote a hack sure to turn the stomach of any XML purist while turning many a hacker frown upside-down... "NoXML, Another SOAP::Lite Alternative" for the Google Web API.

XML jockeys might well want to avert their eyes for this one. What is herein suggested is something just so preposterous that it just might prove useful -- and indeed it does. NoXML is a drop-in alternative to SOAP::Lite. As its name suggests, this home-brewed module doesn't make use of an XML parser of any kind, relying instead on some dead-simple regular expressions and other bits of programmatic magic.
Elegant? Depends on your definition. Pure? As the driven beach sand. Work? You betcha!

Sony's DRC-MFv2 Upscales Regular TV to
HD
08/12/2004 07:44 AM

DRC-MFv2.jpg imageToday brings another interesting announcement from Sony, in the form of new video processing technology called "DRC-MFv2" (Digital Reality Creation: Multi-
Function V2). It can scale up conventional TV signals to full High-Definition - 1920 x 1080 pixels (you might know it as 1080i). Explaining just how the technology works would be difficult, because basically we are idiots, but the long and short of it revolves around interpolation of the
standard TV signal using the correlation of the relationship between... other words that end with "ation." I'll leave it to the well-paid Sony
translators to go into the technical end of things for you once the English press release comes out. It works somehow, let's leave it at that until we can determine how well.

But hey, anything that makes TV look better will be nice. Other advantages of the technology include the ability to convert all other HDTV signals (480 and 720) to 1080i, as well as zoom functions. Look forward to seeing these new chips in Wega TVs and "other external devices" this year.
