A Coder in Courierland

A Coder in Courierland 03/22/2005 04:57 PM
Once upon a time, I was a coder not unlike yourself. My day consisted of coffee, perl and java hacking, meetings, and e-mail. I had a cubicle with fluorescent lighting, my own bookshelf and two computers. And I traded it all in. Even before Office Space, white collar workers peered out the window (if they were so lucky) and imagined a more romantic life doing real work out under the sun. Well, having no children, no great career ambition and no financial obligations more pressing than a crippling student loan, a year and a half ago, I decided to live this dream. I became a bicycle messenger and now I'm here to report back.

Neowin Interview With PyMusique Coder

Neowin Interview With PyMusique Coder 03/23/2005 12:58 PM
Readers might have seen coverage here over the recently launched program, PyMusique. PyMusique is the most recent of many efforts to create a Linux based (or accessible) program for Apple's iTunes music store. Apple currently does not offer a Linux version of iTunes, leaving Linux users in the dark.

We were able to talk to one of the developers of PyMusique, Cody Brocious. You can read the full transcript of our chat here; what became clear throughout was that the group wasn't concerned about the DRM element to this situation. It's apparent that the main concern of the group is allowing users on Linux to legitimately access the music; only by chance did they discovered the application of DRM was done at the client's computer.

Apple announced earlier this week that they had changed the code stopping the program from working; with in twenty four hours, the group had another version of the software released which worked with the changes Apple had made. An interesting saga, with perhaps an unclear conclusion. As Cody states, if Apple asked the group to put the DRM into their program, they'd be happy to do it. Their main concern is opening the store up to Linux users.

Friendster cans coder for bl0gging

Friendster cans coder for bl0gging 08/31/2004 08:20 AM
Cory Doctorow: Joyce Park is a coder who worked at Friendster, leading the charge to re-engineer the poky, Java-based back-end with fast PHP. She blogged about it, got slashdotted, got written up in the press -- and got fired. Even though there was nothing confidential in her blog posts, the new CEO shitcanned her.

[I]t's especially ironic because Friendster, of course, is a company that is all about getting people to reveal information about themselves...

Homebrew Mecha

Homebrew Mecha 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

If there is a sweeter pairing than the union of "backyard" and "mecha," then I don't want to know it (unless there is, then tell me right now). Deep in the Alaskan wilderness (okay, Anchorage) lives Carlos Owens, a 26-year-old steelworker who is working on his own hydraulic-motivated 18-foot mecha that he intends to unveil at a local race track, where it will hopefully spout fire and destroy cars—or maybe even fight another mecha. Owens has no idea when his project will be done (if ever), but you have to respect the work of a man who takes on the giant robot challenge even our government has been reticent to pursue.

Be sure to look at the photo gallery on CNet, too. There's a great shot of a 1960s power-suit that was being by GE. Imagine how totally wicked our society would be now if that would have panned out.

Fun with Homebrew Parts

Fun with Homebrew Parts 12/21/2003 12:05 PM
Every robot builder has been faced with needing (or wanting) parts that don't fit the budget. What's the solution? We try to improvise by building a homebrew replacement. Jack W. Crenshaw has written an amusing article in Embedded Systems magazine on this subject. He tells of an obsession in his college days to have (then unaffordable) seven-segment displays to play with. First he struggled to build a seven-segment display out of things like ice cube trays and light bulbs. He followed that up with a plan to build a circuit full of oscillators and counters that could generate the waveforms needed to turn his oscilliscope into a seven segment display.

Homebrew Financial Planning

Homebrew Financial Planning 02/17/2004 01:03 PM
I've been meaning to do it for a long, long time. But there are always more interesting things on my radar. After updating my copy of Open Office yesterday I started working on a few simple spreadsheets that will greatly improve my understanding of my financial situation. For far too long now I've been making educated (often overly optimistic) guesses based on back of the envelope calculations without the benefit of an envelope. I suspect that a lot of...

Homebrew PCB Through-Plating Machine

Homebrew PCB Through-Plating Machine 01/11/2004 01:32 PM
Ever wanted to create your own multilayer printed circuit boards? For most of us it's easier to send them out to a commercial boardhouse but it can be expensive. Open Collector recently included a link to a homebrew through-plating machine that can create 3 in x 3 in, 4 layer boards in about 4 hours for around $10 per board. The creator's website includes plenty of photos but is a little light on description. He offers to provide more construction details including schematics via email, however, if anyone else wants to try making their own multilayer boards.

Land Walker Homebrew Mecha

Land Walker Homebrew Mecha 04/05/2005 02:11 PM

Calling this mecha the 'Land Walker' might be a bit generous—it's more like the 'Land Shuffler.' Nevertheless, it's a heck of a project, and if I'm reading the stories right, it's mostly the work of one man. Too bad the guns are just for show. On the upside, there's a video, which makes it look a lot less photoshopped than in these pictures. (Thanks, Erick!)

Homebrew baby-wipes with your table-saw

Homebrew baby-wipes with your table-saw 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Cory Doctorow: For parents with table-saws: converting a roll of paper towels to a roll of baby-wiped through judicious application of shop tools and a water/soap/oil mix.

The first thing that must be done is cut the roll of paper towels in half. I've tried doing this with serrated knives or hand saws, but I've found that they either squash the roll or produce a very ragged, chewed-up end. The best solution I have tried is the table saw. A band saw would probably do as well, but I don't have one to test on. First, put on your safety glasses, then raise up the blade as high as it will go. Then, with the plastic wrapper still on the roll, cut the roll down the center. You will probably have to spin the roll to cut all the way through....

Now, a box of 384 premade wipes costs around $10. A bulk package of 8 paper towel rolls costs around $5, and makes somewhere around 900 wipes. So the former runs around 2.6 cents per wipe, while the latter is about 0.6 cents per wipe. Plus you have the intangibles, like a personal feeling of accomplishment and the fact that you get to use the table saw.

WHO SAID that Microsoft had the dominance in the operating system market? A couple of homebrew efforts appear to be treading new ground in the ever-shrinking sector of niche hardware hacking. First up, from the OS4 team, is the brand spanking new update for Amiga OS 4.0. Thought the Amiga was dead? Think again. The new release includes support for USB mass storage devices and a Kernel update, taking it to 51.20. You can find more details on the release at AmigaWorld.

Return to Return of the King

Return to Return of the King 01/25/2004 09:30 AM
(I just blogged this at BlogCritics.org) We went to see Return of the King for the second time last night because our 13-year-old wanted to see it for his third time. My pre-VCR generation has trouble being entertained by a movie more than once, but there are exceptions. Lord of the Rings is one: Giant trolls, gargantuan elephants, catapults firing heads, fierce bad guys with faces made out of cookie dough, fire-tipped battering rams, stirring music, flying dragons, all in one scene. What more do you want in a movie? Even though it was my second time, I still...
