Staying valid
Staying valid
05/02/2004 05:01 PMAndrei Herasimchuk:
There seems no automatic way to keep a site valid with web standards
unless you close it off to the rest of the world to contribute to it.
I will not do that anytime soon.
There is: I'm doing it. Next Thursday will mark the one year
anniversary of my
switching to application/xhtml+xml as the content-type header for
this site, for user agents that support it. Using that content-type
forces Gecko engine browsers to refuse to render pages if they are not
well-formed XML,
so if a page is invalid I hear about it pretty quickly.
So how do you keep a frequently updated site with data from
external sources and user comments valid? There are really only two
things you need to do. Firstly, ensure that everything going IN to the
system (entries and comments) is valid XHTML. I do that using a simple validation system for comments
and a bookmarklet for my own
entries. Secondly, any and all data from external sources (my blogroll
from blo.gs, blogmark URLs added using a bookmarklet) needs to be
entity-escaped before being displayed on the site. In my case, a call
to PHP's
htmlspecialchars() function is all that's needed.
I'm not saying my system is ideal - the need for well formed markup
in comments is a major usability issue even on a site with an audience
consisting mostly of web developers. But it's certainly possible to
operate a site in XHTML with frequent updates and user comments
while staying valid at the same time.
Trackback in, valid out (mostly)
Trackback in, valid out (mostly)
06/28/2004 09:41 PMJacques Distler: You gonna turn off Trackbacks (which don't declare a
charset, and could be sent in any charset imaginable, but very
frequently are Windows-1252)? Unless you have a way to guess the
charset
and re-encode the result to UTF-8, they will invalidate your pages as
quick as you can sneeze. It turns out that by design it is rather hard
for a string of bytes to accidentally be valid utf-8, unless that
string
is pure US-ASCII, in which case it doesn't much matter which encoding
you presume. ...

doctrine.
RIM Paid $450 Million For Patents That
Aren't Valid
RIM Paid $450 Million For Patents That
Aren't Valid
04/13/2005 05:18 PMIt was surprising last month that RIM finally
gave
in to patent hoarder NTP and agreed to pay $450 million to license
their portfolio of patents on fairly obvious concepts. This came just
a few weeks after NTP
paid RIM-competitor Good Technologies to
license
the same patents. However, while we missed this story last week,
Po
litech notes that the patent office
rejected one of the main patents, and has indicated
that it's likely to throw out the rest as well. All this, just three
weeks after RIM agreed to pay half a billion to license them. The
whole thing sounds pretty questionable. NTP (who might not even
really
have
the rights to these patents) paid one company to license their own
patents, pressuring the big fish (RIM) to then license them less than
a month before the patent office rejected them. Whoever agreed to
this deal on RIM's part really has quite a few questions to answer.
They just gave up half a billion for invalid patents on an obvious
idea, after the company that might not own those patents had to pay
off another company to license them. What was RIM thinking?

Break up stories. NYC blogger
smitten shares her
friend's break-up-by-text-message story and invites readers to post
their own. Resulting tales of woe (and some that aren't) include:
(
1) a "Dear John" e-mail; (
2) he dedicates Robert Palmer's classic "I didn't
mean to turn you on" to you; (
3) his mother calls to say happy birthday and btw her
son is having an affair; (
4) you find out he has a fiance when she calls to ask
who you are; (
5) you break up right after sex while everyone's still
naked. Maybe there should be a Strunk and White "Elements of
Style" resource for break up protocol.

The web has a ways to go
The web has a ways to go
11/11/2003 11:27 PMI live in San Francisco. I wanted to get some Thai food delivered to
my apartment. I didn't have any menus handy, so I tried to use the
web. I failed. In fact, not only did I fail, but I tried for half an
hour and had a miserable time while doing it. I don't know where the
breakdown is: Thai restaurants in San Francisco don't deliver (to my
neighborhood*), the information isn't on the web, the mechanisms for
finding the information aren't good, or I'm inept at using them. But
it seems like a simple, possible thing that was not possible for
simple enough for me to complete before giving up and settling for a
veggie burger bought from the health food store across the street.
Unless it's the first option, which I doubt, the web has a ways to go.
Yay.
* I actually placed an order online here, which I was delighted
about until, after realizing I gave the wrong phone number, I called,
and they then told me I'm too far away.

Ways To Say “Broken”
Ways To Say “Broken”
08/18/2004 12:25 PMBorked. Busted. DOA. Done in. Hosed. Frapped out. Gronked. Fubar.
Kaput. Roached. Shot. Snafu. Tits up. Toast. Note once again the
vitality of English, with contributions from engineering and military
jargon interbreeding organically, and in one case cheerful borrowing
from our German cousins. Contributions for the list welcome.
Lauren, who contributed
to the list, notes that
pining for the
fjords means “dead” not “broken”.
Paul Hoffman, who contributed
gronked, asserts that
tits up and in fact much of the
list does too. I disagree, and it’s my list. Let’s just stay away
from the corollary, that engineers apparently regard any complex
system that’s functioning properly to be be a temporary anomaly.

10,000 ways to Ni Hao with Unicode and
PHP
10,000 ways to Ni Hao with Unicode and
PHP
10/29/2003 12:11 AMJoel Spolsky has been cursing the lack of support for Unicode in PHP.
So last week, he wrote this great article on
The Absolute
Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know
About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!).
Of course, that still doesn't answer his initial question of how to
get Unicode working with PHP. Well Scott Reynen had the solution and
wrote Ho
w to develop multilingual, Unicode applications with PHP in
response to Joel's frustration.
Scott's technique works on all versions of PHP. Or you can just use
the UTF8 character set and mbstring
functions, which should run faster as they are coded in C. To use
mbstring, you need PHP 4.3 or later (it was buggy pre-4.3). On Unix,
you will need to compile the extension in. On Windows, you just need
to modify your php.ini.
Update: l0t3k is working on a Unicode I18N extension based
on IBM's open source International
Components for Unicode. The extension includes a UnicodeString
class with the requisite searching, replacing, casing, trimming, and
classification methods. Get the CVS version (16 Oct 2003).
PS: Ni Hao means
hello in Chinese.
