Did The Wizard
of Oz inspire Lord of the Rings? "The first film
version of L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz was released in the
summer of 1939, less than a month before World War II officially
began. Though started as early as 1937, The Lord of the Rings was
largely composed during the war years, but not published until
somewhat later. Therefore, it is by no means impossible that J.R.R.
Tolkien saw the magnificent MGM movie before he wrote most of his
magnum opus. Could Oz have influenced his tale somehow, consciously or
unconsciously?"

On "Feedbag Error 17"...
On "Feedbag Error 17"...
10/29/2003 12:10 AMA couple of days ago I noticed that I couldn't add Azeem Azhar to my iChat AV
contacts list. I kept getting returned "Feedbag Error 17" which seemed
entirely unexpected and unpleasantly phrased. Was I a feedbag? Had
iChat eaten Azeem? The mind boggled.
After several hours of consideration, another option occurred to
me. Perhaps iChat was trying to protect me from excessive contact with
Azeem! Maybe my beautiful new Pantherised beast was being defensive!
"No, Tom!" It was going, "He's bad news! He'll tell you that you work
in Marketing again and you'll get all cross and defensive and make
that ludicrous speech about being an artisan! Please! Please! Let me
protect you from the embarrassment!" At which point, I assumed,
feedbag laptop decided to chow-down on poor Mr Azhar's AIM name with
fierce hungry vengeance. I touted this theory around a few of my
friends. General consensus, "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"
Well now I know that I'm not alone and that it's nothing
personal, Mr Azhar! My Powerbook loves you and iChat loves you and all
I had to do was throw away a couple of my childhood friends who -
frankly - are never online anyway and kind of sucked at web stuff. In
the end the problem was all caused by having too many friends -
apparently AIM can only handle 150 contacts - at least that is
according to Mssrs. Unsanity, Rael and Webb.
But it occurs to me that there's something slightly suspicious
about all of this. A couple of days ago I tried searching for
information about this error message, but it was nowhere. There was
literally no information. Today, there's a search result
returned, and posts about the subject on three separate weblogs. So
what's happened? Is it a new error message or is it just we've all hit
the limit at the same time? Or has the number of buddies available
changed? I smell a mystery!

More on XML Error Handling
More on XML Error Handling
01/22/2004 02:56 AMI thought I'd respond to a few of the comments I received:
Many people suggested that there be a built-in validator in the
browser that could show the errors to the developer. The validators
basically break down into two types: obtrusive validators and
unobtrusive validators.
If the validator is unobtrusive, then I would argue that it won't
receive sufficient usage to make a difference. If the browser doesn't
impose a penalty of some kind, then there will be no incentive for the
author to correct mistakes.
I can see the value of an obtrusive validator, as long as the
obtrusive part was only checking well-formedness (i.e., really basic
mistakes).
(2) Some people pointed out that my own blog was not valid. I have
two responses to that:
(a) I am not arguing for perfectly valid XML documents. I am
arguing for well-formed XML documents. There is a difference.
I think asking that the page be well-formed is setting the bar fairly
low. For example, one of the current errors on this blog is that I
have two elements with the same id. While this makes the blog
invalid, it does not have any effect on the blog being well-formed.
At least I don't think it does. :)
(b) I'm illustrating a point, namely that I have no reason to make
the blog valid, given that browsers will display the blog anyway.
(3) People complained that I wasn't serving up XHTML. I can't
actually serve up XHTML if I want the blog to be displayable in all
browsers, including Safari, which still has sufficient issues with
XHTML that I can't make that switch yet.
(4) My comments on HTML error handling were largely
misinterpreted.
Some people thought I was attacking WinIE for its permissive
handling of HTML. I was not, and I'm glad others appreciated
that fact. Back in the 90s WinIE had to emulate the permissive
error handling of the then-dominant browser Netscape. They had no
choice if they wanted Web sites to be viewable as the designer
intended. They were in the same position then that Safari is in
now.
Nor am I suggesting that WinIE should become less tolerant of
malformed HTML, or that they are at fault for not doing so. That is
simply not a logical conclusion to have drawn from my previous
comments. You can't take a Web site (even a malformed one) that works
a certain way and suddenly refuse to render it or even render it
radically differently than before.
For HTML, this issue was resolved long ago in favor of permissive
error handling and recovery, and no modern browser is to blame for
that situation.
Others said a browser that handles malformed HTML is better than
one that does not, and if Safari doesn't handle all this malformed
HTML, then it's simply not as capable a browser.
What amused me about this comment is that there is no definition of
what it means to handle malformed HTML. As long as a browser shows
you something and doesn't crash, it has handled the malformed HTML.
What people don't understand is that you don't simply have to handle
the malformed HTML. You have to handle it in exactly the same way as
the Web browser that the site author designed for.
If you do not, you'll end up with different renderings of the same
page, which as I said before, constitute the largest set of rendering
differences between Web browsers. Perfect emulation is what makes
error recovery so difficult. If you allow grossly malformed pages,
then most XML on the Web will end up being grossly malformed (as is
the case with HTML today).
Once you have a Web full of grossly malformed XML, there will be
one dominant browser that designers will check to see if the site
looks ok. They will then make assumptions that other browsers will
recover from the malformation errors in precisely the same way and
will simply assume that it is the fault of the other browsers if they
don't.
Right now it is the responsibility of alternate browsers to emulate
the dominant browser's error recovery strategies, but there's simply
no reason to do that for XML as well.

XML Error Reporting II
XML Error Reporting II
01/22/2004 03:30 PMResponding to comments in the previous blog entry:
(1) Some people thought this was a hacked expat. Darin actually
switched Safari over to libxml2, so the error messages you're seeing
(as well as the ability to continue parsing) are all built in to
libxml2.
(2) Do you think it's better to show the page only up to the first
error or to try to display the entire page (with the understanding
that what follows the first error could be very badly mangled)?
(3) Often there are a lot of meaningless errors after the first. I
could put a cap on the number of displayed errors to deal with this
problem or just not worry about it. What do people think?
(4) Those of you who suggested drawers for errors, remember a
drawer is a UI element in Safari and not WebKit. This feature should
just work out of the box for WebKit clients, so I'm inclined not to
use drawers or sheets, but to just display the errors at the top of
the page.

08/21/2004 12:30 PM
The fink-0.22.0 package manager, which was available briefly in the
unstable tree this past week, had a bug which prevents further
updating via rsync. If you installed this version of fink, you
can recover by running the command
fink install fink-0.21.2-1 which will downgrade fink
to the version in the stable tree, and subsequently running
fink selfupdate
If for any reason those commands don't work, go to
the
fink file release page at sourceforge and download the
file fink-0.22.1.tar.gz . Unpack this file with
tar xfz fink-0.22.1.tar.gz , and then from within the
fink-0.22.1 directory, run the command ./inject.pl
The fink team apologizes for the error, and thanks the user
community for bringing it to our attention quickly.

XML Error Reporting III
XML Error Reporting III
01/24/2004 02:50 PMThanks to those of you who answered my question regarding how much
of an invalid page should be rendered. It turns out that the XML spec
is clear on this issue, and that I must stop building up the page DOM
after the first fatal error is encountered.
With that in mind I now tell libxml to continue the processing, but
I start ignoring all of the callbacks. That way I get a list of all
the errors, but properly stop the DOM tree buildup after the first
error.
For those of you who suggested that WebKit needs some sort of error
reporting API, I agree, and if it had one, these errors would
obviously be reported to it. However, these errors still have to be
reported aggressively so that WebKit clients can't mask these
mistakes.
I don't believe in showing a sheet or a dialog as an intermediate
step prior to displaying a rendering of the page. The reason I
dislike this idea is that this error reporting is primarily a Web
developer feature, and they're just going to want to load the page,
see the errors, maybe correct some CSS at the same time, and then
reload with changes until the error report has been eliminated.
The end user isn't ever going to see this report, since anyone who
makes an invalid XML file right now ends up with something that won't
display in any browser. Thus it seems to me that the report should be
easy to access (in terms of # of clicks), always visible, and included
with the page rendering.
I have polished the look of the report a bit based off suggestions.
Here's another screenshot.
