Categorizing with spaces
Categorizing with spaces03/06/2004 02:05 AM Jon Udell's been paying a lot of attention recently to categorizing
XHTML elements. Two of his readers suggested that he use the class
attribute, delimiting the categories (if necessary) with spaces; this
is also valid CSS. I'm in favor of it as well, as it has worked well
for me in two other circumstances. At del.icio.us/crysflame, I keep a
notebook of interesting links. Each link has several pieces of
metadata; of interest is the tags field. The content of this field is
a space-delimited list of categories, so to speak; a blog post about
Google's IPO would be assigned "blog business", while a paper about
graphing social dynamics would get "science social math". It's worked
out very well for me, so far; I can find things easily enough by
selecting individual tags, though more complex slices of the data
aren't...

Sacré SVG: Big Lists in Small Spaces
Sacré SVG: Big Lists in Small Spaces06/05/2005 11:54 PM After a long hiatus, our Sacré SVG columnist, Fabio Arciniegas,
returns with a technique for displaying large lists or trees of
information in small spaces.
In 1999, the World
Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee looked back on the previous
decade and lamented: “I wanted the Web to be what I call an
interactive space where everybody can edit. And I started saying
‘interactive,’ and then I read in the media that the Web was great
because it was ‘interactive,’ meaning you could click. This was
not what I meant by interactivity.” That vision of a genuinely
interactive environment rather than “a glorified television
channel”—one in which people not only would browse pages but also
would edit them as part of the process—did not disappear with the
rise of the read-only Web browser.1 It’s churning away more actively
than ever, in a vivid and chaotic Web-within-the-Web, via an anarchic
breed of pages known as “wikis.”. This has been added to my Wikis
section in Bots, Blogs and News
Aggregators web page.

A sleepy DISH Network receiver
A sleepy DISH Network receiver02/01/2005 09:15 PM Now that I'm living in the wilds of New Hampshire, I've been required
to turn to satellite for my television reception requirements. My
housemates and I ordered the DISH Network and opted for the DISH
player with DVR (receiver model 522). After only a few days, we
decided that the DVR feature wasn't as user-friendly as TiVo and I
purchased a new TiVo. Soon we discovered that more often than not,
when we went to watch a taped program, all that TiVo had recorded was
a floating DISH Network logo. It appeared that the DISH receiver had
(unbeknownst to TiVo) turned off.
I called DISH to report the problem with the receiver, only to find
out that the DISH receiver is programmed to go into "sleep mode" after
four hours of inactivity. Which means that every night it turns off
(and most times it does so during the day as well), making it nearly
impossible for TiVo to tape anything. The DISH representative
suggested I program the DISH DVR to record the same event as TiVo,
thereby guaranteeing that the receiver would be active when TiVo began
to record, but that seems like a ridiculous solution to a problem that
shouldn't exist.
(Never mind the fact that with TiVo season passes and wish lists, you
don't even know when something you want will be broadcast unless you
are constantly checking your "To-Do" list. I pointed out how time
consuming it would be to have to do this double-step for each and
every show one wanted to tape, but he claimed once I learned how to do
it, it would take me only a minute or two at most per program.)
I asked the DISH support person if there were someway to turn off the
sleep mode, or lengthen the amount of time before the sleep mode
became active, but he said that wasn't possible. According to him, the
receiver, "is complicated and needs downtime for updates and
maintenance." Also according to the support person, I'm the only
person who's reported this problem and found the "solution" to
double-record unsatisfactory. "DISH Networks has over 10 million
satisfied customers," according the support rep. My 1 in 10 million
"luck" makes me think I should enter the lottery more often.
So my question for you is: Do you have a DISH receiver? And if so,
have you experienced this problem? Do you know of any way to hack the
DISH receiver so it doesn't go into a standby or sleep mode? And do
DirecTV receivers do this? Because if they don't, I'm very willing to
change my service. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you
may have.
