Holy Vandals, Holy Grail
Holy Vandals, Holy Grail
05/21/2004 11:17 AMAn historic monument in central England that may hold the key to the
location of the Holy Grail was damaged by vandals on Tuesday. The BBC
reports that "a gang of youths climbed on top of The Shepherd's
Monument at Shugborough Hall" and started smashing away.
"The Shepherd's Monument is of international importance,
both as a work of art and because of the legend that a baffling
inscription on the monument provides clues to the true location of the
Holy Grail," said the home's general manager Richard Kemp.
Interestingly, the vandalism came on the heels of a visit by former
code-breakers from War II intent on cracking the 10-letter puzzle. The
Shepherd's Monument is discussed in depth in the book
Holy
Blood, Holy Grail, inspiration for The Da Vinci Code.

05/20/2004 11:37 AMThe Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown says he considered including
another theory in the book that would have inflamed Christians even
more than the notion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and made
babies. What if Jesus
survived the crucifixion? According to this AP Article,
"Brown said the theory is backed by a number of 'very credible
sources,' but that he ultimately decided it was too flimsy." I'm
burned out on the whole
Holy
Blood, Holy Grail trip though. Brown's next book, set in
Washington, revolves around the Masons! Apparently, the dust jacket of
The Da Vinci Code contains a clue about the sequel.

IE is crap
IE is crap
06/24/2005 10:03 PMKatjaW
pointed out that my blog looks like crap on IE these days (both side
bars are missing). Well, it does work pretty well on every other
browser I've tried (don't use Windows at all at home, so I can't be
bothered to check on IE whenever I change the template, and Mac IE is
braindead when it comes to CSS most of the time anyway), so frankly,
I'm tempted to leave it as-is for IE users. Or maybe just disable the
difficult bits, and leave a very plain experience for IE users.
According to my statistics, less than half (41% to be exact) of my
readers use IE anyway...
Maybe I can be bothered to do something about it someday. Tips
appreciated.
Update 24.06: Tweaked the CSS a bit and added some explicit
"display:block;" -commands to some places, which seemed to
required on IE (boo hiss). It still looks a bit crappy (and the
window is too wide), but now at least you can see all the
content.

Why IRC is crap, yet useless
Why IRC is crap, yet useless
06/07/2004 05:57 AMAfter several (well, since 1989 anyway) years of experience on
IRC, I still probably
can count the useful hours I've spent there using one hand only.
(Then again, I can count in binary.)
But the reason why IRC is interesting is that it functions as a
collective subconscious. On some channels certain things pop up
constantly, even though nobody really cares about them. For example,
on #go.fi people talk about EGF rating points. These have
no significance for any player whatsoever, unless you are a
very strong. But they are a slightly-better-than-randomized way of
evaluating performance. So everybody has some interest. On #joiito,
most of the discussion is completely incomprehensible, yet those
people feel a strange connection, and gather together at conventions.
IRC is like a common subconscious, where thoughts come and go, tucking
in different directions, yet never converging.
Most of the discussion on any channel is bullshit. Pure and honest
crap. Nothing but the equivalent of waving your lips in the wind in
the faint hope a meaningful sentence will appear, if you keep
producing syllables just long enough.
But it's common crap. That crap which binds us together, and
builds communities. Some people have this odd notion that
"social activity" is the same as sitting in a pub, drinking
beer and talking horseshit. Fine. The important thing is
"crap".
All of social software is mostly about crap. This is what the CSCW
folks never realized - they thought it was important to increase
productivity and get more achieved through computer-assisted work.
The social software phenomenon (weblogs, Orkut, LinkedIn, IRC, chats, bulletin
boards, ...) is built on the notion that people wish to talk crap.
They enable you to use your time idly, do nothing, because conscious
thoughts (and the inevitable good ideas) rise from the subconscious
soup of crap. I think that's why Wikis haven't really flown is that
they are not that good places for crap: the community deletes anything
that is not considered to be in line of the other contents of the
wiki. They don't allow the subconscious simmer of thought in the same
way as IRC. It remains to be seen how much crap will surface on Orkut
or Friendster, and whether that amount is enough to allow them to
survive. (I've noticed I don't use Orkut anymore, even though I am
listed. There's just so little point.)
The Finnish IRC service IRC-galleria, is really a place for
IRC regulars to post their picture and have comments appended to it.
However, there are now many young people, who put their pictures on
the IRC gallery, and then "go ircing" on it - meaning
posting comments on other peoples pages on the IRC gallery, creating
large amounts of anger among those who know what IRC really is. I
think this is a wonderful example of "crap in action" - if
you build a way for people to discuss, they will come.
The societies are built on crap. The internet is built on crap.
Crap is good. Keep talking bullshit, and while the world may not be
better, at least it will be a far more interesting place. :-D

just fine. In an attempt to debug another problem, I peddled
back to 5.0.25,
which is the latest version without any beta tag, and found that I
couldn't send e-mail
out from an webapp. Error message was rather bland so it took
me a while to
find the relevant bug report. Guess what? 5.0.25 build
left out some
key classes related to JNDI JavaMail session support. Heck, I
think I'll go

Hollywood stars look like crap in
high-def
Hollywood stars look like crap in
high-def
03/19/2005 03:02 AMCory Doctorow:
A list of movie stars who look like crap in high-definition. There's a
huge push to get Americans to switch over to digital television and
the FCC is convinced that getting the broadcasters to air shows in
high-def is the answer -- I think they're wrong and this list is
exactly why. The first TV shows were radio shows like Burns and Allen
done on stage instead of in a radio studio, and it wasn't until
multi-camera setups (like the one on I Love Lucy) evolved that TV
started to come into its own, as more than radio with pictures.
It's clear to me that high-dev isn't just low-def with bigger pores,
but when you hear studio execs talk about their high-def plans, they
always revolve around showing us the same people doing the same things
with more pixels (the exception, of course, is Marc Cuban's HDNet).
If governments want to get their citizens to switch to digital TV,
they're better off shoving more of the standard-def programming out on
the free-to-air stations in digital form (as they have in the UK) than
hoping that the opportunity to see Jennifer Anniston's hairspray
residue on a 36" set will convince every to throw away their TVs and
start over.
3. Britney Spears
The pop tart is still in her early 20s, but she looks about
10 years older in high-def. Her face is puffy and she's
starting to show wrinkle marks around her lips,
reportedly from a two pack-a-day cigarette habit.
4. Brad Pitt
Like Ms. Diaz, Pitt had a terrible skin problem in his
younger years. The impact is clear in high-def. He's
still a good-looking guy, but he doesn't look like one
of People Magazine's "Most Beautiful."
5. Jewel
The singer looks great in still photos and music videos,
but she looks terrible in high-def. And someone should
help her with make-up; it looks like it was done
by Ringling Bros.

Automata, a file-generating software

hour, and it outputs to Illustrator, PDF, EPS, JPEG, GIF and Flash
formats. Automata for Illustrator CS is coming soon. Automata 1.0
costs US$135 for a single license; that includes an interactive user
guide and 43 minutes of QuickTime video tutorials. System requirements
call for Illustrator 10.0.3 and Mac OS X v10.3.
