Tastes of the Great Unwashed







Tastes of the Great Unwashed

Tastes of the Great Unwashed 02/17/2004 05:12 PM

Traffic Island Discs is a radio programme [on Resonance FM] about music, people and spaces. We roam the streets looking for people wearing headphones, stop them, and interview them while recording whatever they are listening to. The result is a half hour tour of an area of London, heard through people's personal tastes and rhythms. The site has the archived shows [Broadband (or save as mp3s)]. [via Ci ty of Sound]

Tastes Great! Less Filling! 05/24/2004 12:16 AM

There's an interesting dialogue going on between Robert Scoble and John Dowdell regarding whether RSS feeds should be full-text or excerpts only. I tend to like full feeds, even on my Treo, but to me it's a personal choice and everyone is different. That's why I think every site that is willing to offer a full feed should also consider providing an abridged feed. That way, the user can pick the one she finds most useful (or, in some cases both, depending on how she's reading it at any given time).

For libraries, this is really a no-brainer, especially if you're using Movable Type. Your default index.rdf feed is an excerpt, so all you need to do is create a new file, name it something else (like index.xml or rss.xml), and change "MTEntryExcerpt" to "MTEntryBody" in the code. Just change that one word, and you're in business.

Yes, it really is that simple. Please consider doing it.

Oh, and a personal plea to librarian bloggers - please consider adding a full text feed for your own site!

Across the great divide


Across the great divide 09/04/2004 09:18 PM
I first pointed to this stunning Valdis Krebs infographic back in March 2004, when the New York Times published it. Krebs has long been fascinated with the clusters that emerge from an analysis of Amazon's related-purchase data. I was reminded of his chart the other day when I heard this exchange (Real, 1 min, 40 sec) between Terri Gross and Norman Podhoretz, which includes this quote:
I have almost no friends any longer who are liberal, and I suspect this is true of most people on both sides of the divide. Since the sixties, the polarization has become more intense, and there are fewer and fewer friendships that can be sustained across the divide in this country.

What religious differences used to be, and aren't any more (in our world, not the Muslim world), political differences have become. They've acquired a kind of religious intensity, and are tinged with a kind of intolerance that used to characterize religious differences. [Norman Podhoretz, inteviewed by Terri Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, Real, 20 min.)
Having lived on both sides of the chasm -- he was a radical liberal before he became a founder of neoconservativism -- Podhoretz seems to have a rare appreciation of the great divide. I suspect the majority of us, not having lived on both sides, lack that same gut-level appreciation. ...

Great IIS Site 03/14/2005 06:07 PM

This place saved our necks yesterday (at work, not Gadgetopia). If you ever find yourself working with an IIS box and run into this little monkey:

The server failed to load application '/blah'. The error was 'The server process could not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the user name and password'.

The "Synciwam.vbs" script will actually work as advertised. We installed some software that hosed all the user accounts on our IIS box yesterday, and were left scratching our heads as to what the bloody hell happened.

Apparently, this script can cause problems of its own -- so be careful out there.

My apologies if this is a well-known thing, but I hadn't seen it prior to yesterday.

    "One of my goals in starting the Really Simple Syndication site was to develop a list of aggregators, and a process for keeping the list current. I'd like the vendors to participate, in several ways -- by keeping pricing and technical information about the products up to date, and to help us understand features supported by their product, and how they compare to competitive offerings. Of course, I'd like to have all the claims verified by users of the products." [Really Simple Syndication]

Where Do Your Great Ideas Come from?


Where Do Your Great Ideas Come from? 02/05/2005 09:32 PM
IdeaSources1
Some more 'fun with numbers' today. A while ago I mentioned IdeaChampions' When & Where Do You Get Your Best Ideas? survey. If you haven't taken the survey already, you can still do so. But before you click to post your answers, write them down. Then you can use this article to create your Personal Creativity Profile, as I've done above. The Profile will tell you:
  • When and where you get your best ideas
  • How your sources of great ideas differ from others, and why
  • How you can make more time and space for creative activities
The chart above compares my scores on the 36 questions with the normalized* answers of other respondents. If you want to create your own chart like this, using Excel or a similar spreadsheet software, here's how to do it:
  • From the IdeaChampions' survey page, copy the 36 questions, and paste them to the first column of your spreadsheet using Paste SpecialText. Copy your scores into the next column. Then copy the normalized average scores from the bottom of this post into the third column, using Paste SpecialText. Highlight the entire table you've created and sort it in ascending order by your scores. Then add a row at the top of the chart and type in column headings.
  • Then highlight the entire table you've created and Insert a bar chart, which should look something like the chart above.
Interpreting your Profile: In my case, brainstorming, creative thinking techniques, talking with customers, taking time just upon waking, taking breaks, and listening to music are my six 'sure-fire' ways to generate creativity, so I should learn to draw on one or more of them whenever creative thinking is needed. I should keep a pencil and paper beside the bed for waking-hour inspirations. And since I take a lot of breaks and walk around, I should get wireless headphones so my music goes with me. I should study creative thinking techniques so that they become second nature. And I should spend more time talking with, and listening to, current and potential customers.

What's more, the last three of these six creativity sources are unusual to me, and not effective for most others, so if I'm in a group creativity setting I should be cautious about suggesting others take breaks or listen to music. I should be sensitive to the fact that happiness is an essential precondition to creativity for most people, though it isn't for me, and also that most others will be more creative if they take a walk, read books, talk with friends, or spend time thinking just before bed, even though those techniques don't work particularly well for me.

There are some other interesting differences between my creative places and times, and those of most others. I find flying and commuting very stimulating -- perhaps it's the movement, and the fact that my commutes are off-rush-hour and hence fast-paced and relaxing. I find television stimulates my thinking more than it does for most others, but that's probably because of what I watch -- documentaries, mysteries, in-depth investigative reports and foreign programming. And the least effective three sources for me -- internet surfing, vacationing and exercising, are all fairly intense, focused activities for me, that don't leave many 'cycles of brainpower' for creative thinking, though I can appreciate that others who find these activities more recreational could also find them more creatively stimulating.

Next I asked myself how I could find more time and space for the creative activities that work best for me. To answer this I added another column to the spreadsheet, and entered for each of the 36 activities the amount of time each week I currently spent on each. I again used a scale of 1-5 for this:
  • Activities that consume >20 hours of time a week -- 5
  • Activities that consume 15-20 hours a week -- 4
  • Activities that consume 10-15 hours a week -- 3
  • Activities that consume 5-10 hours a week -- 2
  • Activities that consume <5 hours a week -- 1
Now I added one more column that showed, for each of the 36 activities, my rating (1-5), divided by the amount of time I spend at it each week (1-5, using the scale above). If you do this and re-sort the 36 activities in ascending order of this last 'Personal Score/Time Spent' column, the resulting chart looks like this:

IdeaSources2

What this second chart reveals is what, ideally speaking, you should try to spend more time doing (the activities at the top of the chart, which you've rated as a source of great ideas, but which you spend relatively little time doing) and what you should try to spend less time doing (the activities at the bottom of the chart). In my case, I should 'get out more' -- spend more time brainstorming with others and just moving around, and less time in front of the computer. I also need to use creative thinking techniques more often. My 'catch-all' #36 'other source' answer was spending time in the hot tub, which I suppose must somehow work for me the way showers work for others. What is it about being in the water that gets us thinking creatively? No wonder dolphins are such imaginative creatures! Though to my surprise, others' top 'write-in' answer for question #36 was 'on the toilet', so perhaps we should see whether porcelain has some mysterious power to spark ideation.

While others spend their time in airport lounges, airplanes and traffic either bored or fuming, I find these activities 'transport' me and get me thinking very creatively. Because it's dangerous to write while driving, I've learned to use mnemonic devices to capture and remember ideas that occur to me until I can safely write them down (works in the shower, too). If I could find a dictating machine that worked with my voice-recognition software I'd probably use it instead -- maybe even write a whole paper or blog post simply thinking out loud while I drive. It's quite possible, though, that since much of my travel is early-morning, it's actually that time of day that's responsible for the flurry of ideas, rather than the movement. Though since I'm a night-owl, usually miserable in the morning, I'm not sure that my body clock, or the ones around me, could handle it if I tried early-to-bed, early-to-rise. It hurts just thinking about it.

What works for you, and why? Are there times and places and techniques that aren't on this list at all that seem to surface great ideas for you? In what ways does your ideal environment for idea generation differ from mine, and from the other survey respondents'? And are there ways you could be spending your time a little differently to allow your right brain to get some more exercise?

* How I normalized the 'average' answers to the survey: First of all, I double-counted the '5' scores, the proportion of people who found each time or place a 'sure-fire' source of great ideas, because I think that's just as important as 'average' score. Then, because when you average scores you get most of them clustered around the 3 average, I 'stretched' the results so that the top-scoring source (brainstorming) received a normalized score of 5 and the lowest-scoring source (being sad or depressed) received a normalized score of 2. Finally, I rounded the results to the nearest 0.5. The results then more closely map, in standard deviation and distribution of results, an individual's scoring.

Here are the normalized scores in order for the 36 questions (for copying and pasting into your own spreadsheet):
4.0

Great Big Stuff


Great Big Stuff 09/07/2004 05:49 PM

Computer Key
StoolRob and I were just discussing Deane’s habit of meticulously editing our posts for proper grammar, spelling, and markup. It’s one of the things that (I think) makes Gadgetopia a good read, but we were wishing for a giant red pen to use, either as a gift or an instrument of blunt force trauma.

Of course, if you think of something, someone on the web already did it :

Many years ago, I was delighted to find a store called “Think BIG!” in my local mall. Over the years I purchased a number of their larger-than-life products. However, I was dismayed when their retail stores shut their doors.

I discovered that I was not alone feeling their absence. I took that as a call to action to fill the void — and a BIG void it was! That is why I started GreatBigStuff.com.

We have made great strides in providing a wide selection of oversized items. Many of the items are original “Think BIG!” merchandise which had been locked away in a warehouse. We continue to find manufacturers and suppliers around the world to expand our line of products.

There are so many cool things I could buy at this store. Giant Crayons? Got ‘em. 5-foot toothbrush? Check. My favorite is the huge computer key stools (pictured above). Sadly, no giant red pen.

I'm glad to finally hear I'm not the only one seeing gibberish when I view a blogspot site in firefox. No one else I know sees it, but almost every page at blogspot is a page of hex garbage. I suspect it may be a mozilla gzip problem, but maybe it's on Google's server end of things.


Blogspot is hurting America


Blogspot is hurting America 03/14/2005 05:37 PM

Blogspot is currently broken. While it always aimed to be the place to get a free weblog, it has been the subject of various exploits and gaming.

Case in point: yesterday I got a porn spam that slipped through since the from: line was set to my own email, and amid the garbage text was a URL on blogspot. This URL:
http://trampling-high-heels3169.blogspot.com/

If you go there and check it out, it pretty much as the exact same text as the spam, but the URL leads to the spammer's real target site.

A friend recently returned from a anti-spam conference and said someone gave a demo of a spamming tool. They showed how it grabbed a zillion email addresses from a database, started churning out the email while hopping from one free open proxy server to another, and one curious last step was to automatically create a new blogger account, create a new site on blogspot, and load the email text from the spam as an entry. The last step was to raise the search engine position for the spammer's site and message and was completely automated.

When folks are using a blog host for spam and it becomes a key feature of automated spamming tools, I think it's time to fix it.

How about adding a captcha at the very least, to thwart those doing automatic script-based spaming of blogspot?

Porn Sites Using Blogspot To Game Google


Porn Sites Using Blogspot To Game Google 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
I think the only thing that's really all that noteworthy about this story is that it didn't happen sooner. In fact, it probably did happen sooner, but the press is just catching on. For quite some time now, people have realized that blogs tend to get higher Page Rank in Google due to their frequently updated nature, and tendency for cross-linking, so a group of porn sites have gotten together and are using bogus Blogspot blogs to boost the Page Rank of their own porn sites. Of course, as the article points out, this will now get to be much more popular, search engines will adjust and it will become useless again.

03/28/2005 07:32 PM
Cory Doctorow: Pablo set up a Blogspot blog using Google, and a gmail account, likewise. Then he set his gmail account to forward to his blog's post-via-email address and his blog to send update alerts to his gmail account. The resulting loop resulting in his post being run 400 times in one day before his gmail account started to bounce the notifications. Link (Thanks, Pablo!)

I've been using MoinMoin, a python based wiki because I thought I'd be able to hack it since I was learning python. It turns out that I haven't had any time to hack MoinMoin and frankly, it looks too difficult for me. The SocialText (I'm an investor and on the board) wiki software has become quite stable with some cool features so I've decided to switch my main wiki from Moin Moin to SocialText. The question I have is whether I should migrate pages from my old wiki and whether I should continue running the old wiki. If I am going to migrate the pages, another question is how to move the pages... Anyone have any thoughts?

[Joi Ito]

I've been waiting for this to happen. Software needs professioanls to support it. This is the secret viral strategy of open source software. Once people start using it - they're hooked.

I knew that the open, unsupported Wiki Joi had - would someday HAVE to switch to SocialText.

Congrats to Ross and Pete et al.

Now (along with the LobbyCon Wiki) - I'm up to 7 SocialText Wikis.
