Independent ISPs Team Up To Fight For
Open Access 04/15/2004 02:23 PM
Finally realizing that having each independent ISP argue the point separately and hoping that it all worked out, a group of such ISPs are banding together to fight for open access to cable broadband lines. The FCC has been pretty clear in not opening up access to the cable lines, though they've looked vulnerable in court lately. The entire "open access" debate is only going to get much, much messier before it's settled - which isn't really good for anyone. In the meantime, though, over in the DSL world, Qwest and Covad have signed a line-sharing deal - showing that private deals can happen without regulation.

Xeni Jardin: Ian Clarke, developer of Freenet and other world-changing code, sez:

Indy is a free music discovery service that learns what you like, and plays more of it. It is designed to provide an alternative channel for music fans to discover artists, and for artists to reach a new audience. Indy employs a sophisticated collaborative filtering algorithm. Currently the Indy client works on Windows, but Mac and Linux versions are in the pipeline.

Welcome To Indy....

Welcome To Indy.... 04/19/2005 04:07 AM
Several of us made our way to Indy on Monday. The center was very active with tear down and move out of a huge fireman's convention and set up of C3. You could tell the exhibitor floor was going to look nice with its red and black curtains, in the theme of E3. The autograph hall is massive. Considering it had 8,000 sq. ft. for C2 and there is about 43,500 sq. ft. this time, it's dramatically different. You can see just a couple of snapshots on our C3 page. One interesting side note, at our hotel, the keys have a C3 logo, and a Vader on them and apparently are promotional from Target. "Go where the Jedi Shop" on the front and "Get to Target to pick up Star Wars essentials, and everything else from the galaxy far, far away." It doesn't look like many of these will be turned back in at departure.

Survival of the fittest mailbox

Survival of the fittest mailbox 09/06/2004 04:16 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: We recently moved to a semi-rural area in Los Angeles. Our mailbox is mounted on a metal pole, probably about an inch-and-a-half in diameter. The previous occupants had piled bricks around the pole, chimney-style, to keep drivers from knocking the mailbox over -- or at least punish them by giving their car a bigger dent if they hit it.

A few days after moving in, I noticed that the brick enclosure had tumbled. Either a car hit it, or someone kicked it over. The next day the pile of bricks was gone. The bricks were now several yards away from the mailbox, being used to prop up a plywood ramp so kids could do dirt-bike tricks.

A couple of days later, the bricks were gone. Someone had stolen them in the dead of night. Maybe they're being used to protect somebody else's mailbox, or are part of a backyard barbeque. In any case, I hope they used cement.

Now unprotected, our mailbox's life turned nasty, brutish, and short. I looked out the window one morning and saw the pole with nothing on top. Going outside to investigate, I found the mailbox lying in the dirt, with a giant dent in it. Someone must have played mailbox baseball the night before. Fortunately, I was able to remount the mailbox, but how long will it last before someone else wreaks havoc on it?

Ever since these events, I've been paying careful attention to mailboxes. It's interesting to see how they're fortified. I want to make a mailbox that can withstand the brute force and misplaced ingenuity of the delinquents that prowl around after nightfall. Here are a few mailboxes in my neighborhood (click thumbnails for enlargement):

This one is pretty good, because the bricks are cemented together, preventing scavenging. But it's still vulnerable to mailbox baseball. Survivability score (out of 10): 5

The owner of this "brick shithouse" mailbox has obviously been victimized by vandals more than once. He's got his entire mailbox surrounded by bricks. The only way a vandal could cause damage to this is by ripping the door of the hinges. Survivability score: 9

The strategy here is to make the mailbox so low to the ground that troublemakers won't notice it. Also, the low-profile makes it hard for a beer-drunk, bat-wielding high-schooler in the passenger seat of a car to knock it off. I don't know why there are pebbles on the mailbox, but I noticed that on another mailbox on the same street. Is there a secret meaning? Survivability score: 6

Short of a bulldozer, no vehicle is going to topple this mail box. But the box itself is fully-exposed, almost begging for someone to come along and knock it off. Survivability score: 6

Like the "brick shithouse" mailbox, this fully enclosed unit will withstand most assaults by amateur vandals. The owner's one mistake, in my opinion, is in making it attractive, and therefore a bigger target for those who find pleasure in damaging other people's property. Survivability score: 8

The thinking behind this design seems to say: "If you can't cage the vandals, then you need to cage the property." Behind the thick cast-iron grillwork you'll find an ordinary metal mailbox. The sturdy wooden beams look like they'd hold up against a determined attack. Survivability score: 7

I'd be interested in seeing photographs of other fortified mailboxes. Email them to me.

In the next installment of the atom guide, I tackle what may very well be the number one issue in ill-formed feeds: character encoding in general, and smart quotes in particular.  In the process of producing this documentation, I am struck by two things: How hard it is to find all the right pieces, and figure out how they interrelate Despite the pervasiveness of the issue addressed here, I'm surprised that I can't readily locate other similar documents. Perhaps the former is the reason for the latter.
