Length isn't Everything

Length isn't Everything 03/14/2005 06:11 PM

The Harvard Law Review (where I served as an editor some ten years ago) is leading an effort to prune back the excessive length of law review articles. Eleven of the top journals have 110-page article in a law review last year. The dirty secret is that, in legal academia, longer articles are often treated as a proxy for "serious scholarship," when it's necessarily true that the biggest pieces are the best. I wouldn't have had much trouble condensing my piece to 70 pages, or 50, if that had been the standard. The rest of the material might have wound up in another article, which is fine.

There aren't many points that can't be made in 35,000 words. Even for law professors.

Hallmark and URL Length

Hallmark and URL Length 03/26/2005 09:53 PM

My wife sent a Hallmark eCard to someone today. She picked a format then typed a paragraph or so of text. The length of her prose was nothing out of the ordinary.

Hallmark then generated an email to the recipient and CC'd my wife. In this email was a link to the card. However, it appears to me that Hallmark embeds everything relevant to the card in that URL. The URL that arrived in the email was 622 characters long. It had five querystring arguments, one of which was 422 characters long. (Which, in light of this post, put me into instant convulsions.)

The entire text of my wife's message was embedded in this big querystring argument. It was encrypted, but it was all there because — not surprisingly — Outlook screwed up the translation URL of that length. When printed in the email, the URL spanned six lines, and when you clicked on it, you got the card but the message was cut off mid-word.

I compared the URL that loaded in the browser with the URL that appeared in the message, found the point where it got cut off, and copied the reaminder out of the message and tacked it onto the URL in the browser — voila — the rest of my wife's message appeared. Just for giggles, I entered some random text in the URL, and — sure enough — got a section of gibberish in the message.

This whole thing struck me as astoundingly bad form for a company as big as Hallmark, and it got me thinking about maximum URL length. It turns out that there's a lot of room for long URLs — Internet Explorer's maximum is over 2,000 characters. I couldn't find any references to maximum URL length in Firefox, only that it's "much longer" than IE.

Still, at what point does a URL get out of control? This particular link looked ridiculous sitting in an email. Hallmark even sent the email as plaintext so they couldn't hide its girth behind an A tag. What would have happened if Outlook put linebreaks in it? How do we not know that's what happened? (For the record, I forwarded the same email to myself and Thunderbird handled the mammoth URL like a champ.)

Jakob Nielsen says URLs shouldn't be any longer than 75 characters. He labeled this as a top mistake of Web design in 2002:

Long URLs break the Web's social navigation because they make it virtually impossible to email a friend a recommendation to visit a Web page. If the URL is too long to show in the browser's address field, many users won't know how to select it. If the URL breaks across multiple lines in the email, most recipients won't know how to glue the pieces back together.

He's talked before about URLs as user interface elements. So ha ve we — I'm anal-retentive about URLs.

I can't help but wonder why Hallmark wouldn't implement something like TinyURL: store the eCard settings in a database, then just tack a GUID onto the back of the URL. Yes, people could try random GUIDs (that post still makes me laugh), but even a 20-digit key would provide enough randomness to stave people off.

Could this be an attempt by Hallmark to avoid privacy issues altogether? I imagine people put some sensitive things in cards they send to people. Is Hallmark trying to stay out of this arena completely by making the whole thing stateless? If everything gets embedded in the URL, and they have nothing on their servers, then they can never be accused of a privacy breach, can they?

I'm left wondering. If anyone has a theory, post it.

Extracting the length from MP3 files

Extracting the length from MP3 files
with Python 12/03/2003 09:45 PM

Ned Batchelder recently wrote about the difficulties involved in extracting the length from an MP3 file. We're going to need to solve this problem soon at work; luckily, it seems that the answer may lie in the Python bindings for mpgedit, an audio file editing library available for both Windows and Linux.

After installing the Windows package and experimenting for a while, I managed to extract the time from one of my test files using the following:

>>> import mpgedit
>>> play = mpgedit.Play('example.mp3')
>>> play.total_time()
(213, 129)
>>> secs, msecs = play.total_time()
>>> mins = secs / 60
>>> secs = secs - mins * 60
>>> print "%d:%02d minutes" % (mins, secs)
3:33 minutes

However, for other files total_time() is returning (-1, -1). I'm sure there's a solution to this but I haven't stumbled across it yet.

USATODAY.com - Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, an architect of the Iraq war, said Tuesday he had failed to anticipate "the resilience" of Saddam Hussein's supporters and did not know how long the United States would have to keep 135,000 troops in Iraq.

Steam Boy Trailer

Steam Boy Trailer 04/23/2004 12:06 PM
Scott sez: "Steam Boy, the long awaited and highly anticipated Anime film from Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo is finally nearing completion and is slated for release later this year. The trailer is up on the Japanese site and looks damn cool. From what I can see Otomo has once again created dazzling visuals -- the lush Victorian interiors and the elegance of the mechanical designs (Steam Punk, anyone?) should leave everyone in awe. The film cost 2.4 billion Yen (US$20.2m) to produce, just a few dollars short of the 2.4 billion Yen that it cost to produce Spirited Away, the most expensive Anime feature ever. In contrast, Steam Boy comprises 180 000 cels, 1.5 times as many as Spirited Away." Link

To state the completely obvious, its like a "Spellbound " with the kids dancing instead of spelling.

Serenity Trailer in HD 06/06/2005 12:15 AM

O God in heaven, thank you. More eye candy for this work of art.

If you don't know about Serenity, well, get your 笨天生的一堆肉。ass over to the site and take a peek. Don't let Lucas give you any more sci-fi. Get the real stuff.

The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family - squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.

Apple - QuickTime - HD Gallery - Serenity,

Wash: This is going to get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: "Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die"?

Some more fun stuff for Serenity fans:
