USA Today Quotes Etherlinx Founder as
Everyman
02/19/2004 11:23 AM

In this well-written, by-the-numbers article explaining Wi-Fi to mainstream readers, John Furrier, one of the founders of Etherlinx, is presented as an average user: I've met and talked with John several times, before and after he left Etherlinx well over a year ago, and he's an experienced Wi-Fi guy. No lack of props to him (and his decision to leave a firm he helped start that became a non-starter), but the reporter should have identified him as a current or former industry member, not an average Joe (or John). John reads this site, so we may get more information on this yet. A few weeks ago, The New York Times covered home Wi-Fi and used as its lead subject Oren Michels, who is the president of WiFinder, identifying him in his full-time day job as the head of a human resources benefits outsourcing firm. Surely there are actual consumers out there....

Quotes of the week


Quotes of the week 06/05/2005 11:20 PM
Talk of Steve Jobs has been rampant over the past week in the technology world. Here are a few of the most interesting quotes about Steve Jobs, Apple and Apple products recently found around the web. "The world would soon learn that Jobs wasn’t just joining the revolution; he was about to reshape it." - Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon, The Times Online "iCon fails as biography. Maybe that's the real reason that Jobs, perfectionist that he is, won't let it be sold in his company's stores. It's not good enough." - Hiawatha Bray, The Boston Globe "If you haven't got a CPU at home worth writing about, then Steve Jobs has a real gem for you - and it's about the size of a shoe." - Brian Dukes, Up & Coming Weekly "Behind the euphoria generated by the iPod, the skills of its industrial designers and charisma of chief executive Steve Jobs, Apple is quietly burrowing into the enterprise, buoyed by the Unix base of its still relatively new operating system." - Garry Barker, Sydney Morning Herald "By obeying the terms of KHTML's open source license, Apple is upholding every ideal it was asked to uphold. If the KHTML team now feels there are still more ideals they'd like upheld, they should adjust their licensing terms." Neil  McAllister, Infoworld "More iPods are bargain-priced these days and could be cutting into sales of Apple's premium products. There is also no evidence that young iPod users will be any more interested in a Macintosh computer than anyone else is." - Andrew Leckey, Tribune Media Services columnist "I started playing with it, and I don't know, you get kind of hooked on Macs. They have an appeal that never leaves." - Jeremy Seftor, general manager of Capitol Mac, an Apple Computer Inc. reseller and service provider on West Main Street in Richmond

Smarty Quotes


Smarty Quotes 03/11/2003 09:43 AM
Nelson Minar rages against the dying of design, in his summary of a discussion with Cory Doctorow around using smart quotes and other typographic niceties in weblogs.
I want to use fancy Unicode characters like U+201C and U+201D ("smart quotes") in my blog. Cory hates that idea because non-ASCII characters behave badly when you paste them into your email or text editor and that they don't work well in RSS.

The underlying problem is an impedence mismatch between new Unicode oriented tech like the Web and XML and old ASCII oriented tech like email and text editors. Browsers and RSS readers should mediate between the two but software often gets it wrong.
This discussion continues a conversation on the SmartyPants plug-in I hacked together for Blosxom.

While compromising design for the sake of compensation for badly integrated technologies and encodings is not on in my book, some allowance must be made for the simple copy-n-paste. To that end, I've added a plainlink (txt) to my template alongside the permalink. This link leads to an utterly plain text (non-smarty) version of the story at hand.

Kudos to the Washington Post for being the only newspaper to actually spell out the word "fuck" when it came from Dick Cheney's lips last week. The LA Weekly has a survey of the substitutions:
The Boston Globe: Referred to the expletive as a “vulgar directive” and provided no other clues.

Calgary Sun: “(Bleep) off” or “Go (bleep) yourself.”

Daily News (New York): “Go f— yourself.”

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator


Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator 12/24/2004 12:58 PM
  • RSS: a Shift, from What...to What?
    "He also neatly sort of answers his own question - with greater precision than I can ever muster - by saying: 'If I visit houses of content, as I seem to do on the Web, that is very different than the content as “visitor” to my house.'... What we’re seeing is the creation of personalised information hypermarkets.... Over time, you develop a rich cocktail of sources and you develop a new habit for browsing information. Some things you look at hourly, some daily, and some you deliberately save till Friday pm for a catch up. This is light years away from sitting down at the table in the morning looking at your paper, or even your paper’s website.”
     
  • RSS and Blog Directories
    "Inspired by The Media Drop's list of newspaper RSS feeds, I thought I'd compile a list of RSS directories. Enjoy and spread the link."
     
  • Newsmap as a Model for Smart Aggregation
    "Information overload. It’s the next big issue in publishing, and technology in general. The day you have 400 e-mails in your inbox, 900 new items in your RSS aggregator, and 8 Instant Messenger windows on your screen will come. For some people, it’s already here.... The key to our information gathering lives is all about smart aggregation. The days of media companies deciding what’s on your 'front page' are numbered. Within five years, I believe customizable newsreader technology (whether client-side like Net News Wire, or server-side like Bloglines), will be as prevalent as the web is right now."
     
  • 500 down, 3061 to go
    "At the beginning of this week I had 310 feeds showing around 25,000 unread posts. I had toyed with the idea of declaring RSS bankruptcy and just starting again, but I was getting increasingly unhappy with chaotic state of my feeds and deep down I knew that hitting 'mark all posts read' would do nothing to solve the problem in the long run."

Miscallaneous out-of-context quotes of
the day
06/02/2004 04:38 PM
"I didn't want to pass the child making time. It was kinda fun - in a necrophile sort of way". -- Mr. Tactful after telling his wife he raped her while she was passed out to cover for the fact that in fact, it was really Satan who raped her.

"What does that mean?" -- A coworker after seeing my new hair.

"I do the same kind of work as him - except that I'm worse." -- During an introductory round in a meeting.

"NO!" -- Several times today.

"Lower your arms!" -- Also, several times today. (I seem to have a problem with that one.)

"You must drink Olvi! Fucking shithead! Perkele!" -- When I reached for a Pepsi bottle in a store. Huh?

"My boyfriend came yesterday in secret, hid in the bushes and took pictures of me!" -- A worryingly happy girl.

"Are you feeling pain, too?" -- Two minutes earlier. Different girl.

"Your personality comes through well." -- A colleague after reading my travel log. (See, Matt, not all of my traumas come from you!)


Choice SxSW quotes


Choice SxSW quotes 03/19/2005 02:35 AM

My American adventure is ongoing; I'm still in Austin at the moment, but I'll be off to Washington D.C. in a few days and there's a small chance I'll get there via Dallas. This doesn't leave much opportunity for online shenanigans, but there were a few things from SxSW that really needed a mention. The conference, as ever, was awesome - if not for the panels then certainly for the socialising. If anything I stretched myself too thin this year trying to keep up with the Brit Pack, the WaSP crew, some ex-colleagues from Lawrence and the people I met in San Francisco back in May.

I met a lot of new people this year as well. Since David Nunez had pointed out that "what do you do?" was a bit of a dull opening question (not to mention a conversation killer for people who dislike their job) I stuck with "So what are you excited about?" instead. It worked pretty well - I got a whole bunch of great answers, with the most random probably coming from the guy who was excited about mopeds (it turned out he runs the world's number one moped site).

The most entertaining panel by far was the Home Star Runner one, in which the Brothers Chaps finally revealed the secret to their animation success: motion capture! I'll have to post a few pictures once I get back on a high speed 'net connection; suffice to say the constant laughter from the room was heard throughout the convention center.

Anyway, on to the quotes. The first two are from Jacob Kaplan-Moss:

PHP is like a beautiful woman... with syphilis

Maintaining badly written code is like trying to solve a crossword puzzle set by someone who can't spell

I also like this one from Jeremy Dunck, who was justifying sharing your ideas with people at the conference despite the risk of other people implementing them first:

It's like the lazyweb in meatspace

The credit for the last one goes (I think) to Yvonne Adams, who made the sage observation that:

South by South West is spring break for web geeks

It certainly is. See you all again next year!

01/02/2005 04:22 PM
If you're at all interested in copyright, the movie industry, BitTorrent, or Bram Cohen (its creator), I recommend reading The BitTorrent Effect from the January 2005 issue of Wired. Here are two excerpts that I enjoyed: Cohen knows the havoc he has wrought. In November, he spoke at a Los Angeles awards show and conference organized by Billboard, the weekly paper of the music business. After hobnobbing with "content people" from the record and movie industries, he realized that "the...
