Dan's minutes

Dan's minutes 06/17/2005 05:09 PM

Dan Gillmor has started posting 1 minute sound clips. It's an interesting form. One "Minute with Dan" is less than 1MB and short enough to listen to while browsing through your daily feeds. It's not "save it for my train ride" size. Also, probably for people who don't know Dan's voice, it will create a voice behind the words he writes.

I also noticed that VoIP in various forms on my Mac have caused me to be in an environment where I can listen to audio as my default. One year ago, I had sound turned off 90% of the time. Now I have it on 90% of the time...

Protesters from the right will be marching on the offices of CBS News today, demanding that Dan Rather be fired for running a story about George W. Bush's past based in part on National Guard documents the network can't authenticate. Perhaps when they're done, they'll march down to the White House to demand that Bush be ousted for starting a war based on false intelligence.

Interesting. Dan reports that Google is watching more closely than he expected. I made an offhand comment on IRC with the URL for the real image (I hardlink it on the server, rather than playing Apache redirect games) and three minutes later... Pow! There was googlebot, looking at it. Turns out that one of the folks on the channel'd looked at it, and they run Opera with the google stuff on it so presumably that's how google got the URL....

Spotlight on Spotlight

Spotlight on Spotlight 07/12/2004 03:39 PM

An overview of Mac OS X 10.4’s upcoming Spotlight search technology.

More about Spotlight

More about Spotlight 07/12/2004 07:13 PM

In reading John Gruber’s Spotli ght on Spotlight today, I was struck by something interesting:

One implication of Spotlight’s file-centricity is that its ability to search “email” might not apply to clients other than Apple Mail — it’s the fact that the new Tiger version of Mail stores each message as a separate file that allows Spotlight to effectively return individual mail messages as search results. No other major mail client uses a one-message-per-file storage format.

I haven’t looked into Spotlight in any depth (and, if I had, I couldn’t talk about it). But, if it’s true that Spotlight only looks at files, then this creates an interesting dilemma for all the developers whose apps don’t use individual files.

NetNewsWire, for instance, does not use a separate file for each individual news item. And NetNewsWire isn’t alone, of course—in fact, I think there’s a trend toward more and more apps like this, apps that store chunks smaller than most web pages and files. (What Anil Dash calls a Microcontent Client.)



And now for some trivia...

Little-known fact—years ago, back in 1996 (I think), Ranchero Software had a product named Spotlight. It was a search engine for websites: it used Frontier (which was freeware then) and Filemaker Pro and ran behind WebSTAR and similar HTTP servers.

Spotlight cost $99, and it didn’t have the success that, say, NetNewsWire has—but we did get an “It Shipped!” plaque from Apple, signed by Heidi Roizen. (I think. My memory may not be completely accurate on some details.)

Which is to say nothing in particular, except that the name Spotlight is pretty good for search technology. (And I highly doubt that we were the first ones to use it.)



At the time our company may still have been known as World Wide Power & Light. (Another piece of trivia.) We stopped using that name because it was way too long and because someone else was using it too. (Oops.) (We had a weird domain name: wrldpwr.com. One of those domain names that takes a half-hour to explain out loud.)

Here’s an old logo we never used:

I've having a hell of a time playing with the internals of Spotlight. I have some more articles coming, but a quick and dirty one that goes over how I'm finding out the niftiest things to do was just posted on Mac Geekery. The alternative to the above article is to just use mdfind in Terminal, but that's no fun because you don't get the pretty categorized results and so on. Anyhow, enjoy.
