Revolution 2.1: Development Tool
Breathes New Life into Old Card Game 01/22/2004 03:25 AM
HyperCard? That's dead, isn't it? Oh, sure, it was great back in the 1980s. So versatile it defies ready definition, HyperCard lets ordinary people create their own software without having to conform to the strict rules of a formal programming language. But the last time Apple updated it (1998), Macs were made out of vacuum tubes and corncobs. AppleScript Studio and RealBasic, while they're nowhere near as easy to learn and use, have stepped into HyperCard's role: the nonthreatening way to write software. But nonprogrammers everywhere can now rejoice: Revolution 2.1, a HyperCard-compatible development environment, has come along with enough power to wake the dead.

I like my iBook. Its name is Snowy. Here’s what it’s missing:

• A way to easily disable the caps lock key, for those of us whose large clumsy hands keep hitting it by mistake.
• Better yet, no caps lock at all: for such a rarely-used key it takes up inordinate space on the keyboard. You could lock and unlock caps by hitting Shift twice, no?
• A low-wattage FM transmitter, so audio can be played through a home stereo without mucking with jacks and cables.
• Somewhere else for the CPU. Even with ample circulation the heat buildup under the heel of my left hand is annoying.
• Better access to the function keys. I’m roughly four times more interested in using f-keys than I am in Exposé or adjusting volume or screen brightness, yet I have to use a combination of keys to get to them.
• A full stop/period/dot/whatever that doesn’t require the shift key (particular to AZERTY keyboards but a pain nonetheless).
• The ability to close the screen without it going to sleep, so it can operate as an unobtrusive stereo component, server, downloader, whatever.
• It should sense whenever I enter the room and immediately begin playing Back in Black by AC/DC.

Just wanted to get that out.

Tomorrow I will bring it to the friendly local computer store where they they have the decency not to laugh at me until I've left....

On Hardware Failures 01/01/2004 02:15 AM
One of the computer industry's dirty little secrets is hardware failure. The few of us who work in, near, or otherwise around large computer installations take this for granted. Companies like Yahoo have people on staff that spend a lot of their time dealing with failing memory, buggy motherboards, smoked power supplies, bad disks, and overheating CPUs. Google, from what I read, doesn't even bother anymore. But the larger world probably doesn't see this very often. Many are likely just...

I’d be remiss not to pass on more of the helpful information people have sent in response to the recent whine about the iBook’s shortcomings:

• As posted before, uControl makes remapping troublesome analphabetic keys easy, e.g., putting fn keys back into usefulness and killing the caps lock, though it does require you to be utterly up to date, Panther-wise.
• Regarding FM transmitters, Jonathan Woolson recommends this C Crane device.
• Jonathan also mentions the importer of some industrial design porn from Japan: titanium/aluminium Powerbook and iBook stands that solve heat buildup problems and which echo the seemingly unkillable trend of vertically-oriented food in restaurants.
• The heat under the left handrest can be reduced by NOT unchecking, as I had done, the option to ‘put the hard disk to sleep whenever possible’ when the power adaptor is plugged in (thanks to Marshall Sokoloff for pointing out that the disk, not the processor, is in that spot).
• The glowing sleep light can of course be covered with white electrician’s tape, much in the same way that the television screen can be painted black whenever a Jude Law movie comes on.

Evolutionary Hardware

Evolutionary Hardware 08/12/2004 04:31 AM
Taking evolutionary concepts and applying them to artificial intelligence software is nothing new, but suddenly, it's getting a lot more interest in the hardware field as well (Salon stuff required). There's just one problem: even when the evolutionary means come up with the necessary solution, it's not always to figure out how or why. For some, this doesn't matter. If they need the hardware to do something, and it does, they're perfectly happy -- even if they can't explain it. For others, though, this is troublesome. One other interesting aspect of this work is that, apparently, some of the "evolved" hardware runs into patent problems. This is particularly amusing, since patent protection should be designed to stop humans from "stealing" ideas from others. However, can you patent evolutionary ideas that a machine comes up with on its own? It would be difficult to suggest that ideas where somehow stolen.
