posts brought to you by the category “imagine that”

Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.

Karl Dubost : La balise object sert à insérer des objets, n'importe-quel type d'objet.

La balise object sert à insérer des objets, n'importe-quel type d'objet. Vous savez lorsque vous développez en informatique et que vous voulez insérer du code HTML ou du code perl ou python. Vous avez toujours la nécessité d'échapper les séquences qui pourraient être interprêtées comme du code HTML. Si vous utilisez la balise object, vous devez préciser le type mime de l'objet que vous envoyez. Le type mime que vous précisez peut-être celui de l'objet même par exemple une image jpeg que j'envoie avec type="image/jpeg" ou alors un autre type mime qui est celui avec lequel vous désirez afficher le fichier. Par exemple, vous pouvez vouloir afficher un fichier HTML ou un programme perl avec le type mime du texte seul de façon à afficher le code.

From the "This is My Cross to Bear" department : this bit about the chronological ordering of posts is a crock of shit.

<warning themedium="themessage">It is a function of the software that's been written and has nothing to do with the format or the Idea of Weblog.</warning> This is not a comment directed at Dave, per se. I make the same point to anyone and everyone who tries to justify not wanting to implement a next id scheme for weblog posts as somehow defining weblog-ness. I can deal with the term "chronological" if you mean by date (as in today), but you will get no sympathy if you want me to buy into the idea that weblogging in inheritently a stream of conciousness endeavour. Shortly after I got involved in this crazy business I realized that I may point to something at seven in the morning and that's what I want to be the first thing a visitor see regardless of anything else I post throughout the day. You know, in case you needed another reason to roll your own ...

Oyama Hiroyuki : Net::MySQL .pm

"is a Pure Perl client interface for the MySQL database. This module implements network protool between server and client of MySQL, thus you don't need external MySQL client library like libmysqlclient for this module to work. It means this module enables you to connect to MySQL server from some operation systems which MySQL is not ported. How nifty!" see also : DBD::mysqlPP.pm .

The dictified dictionary.com word of the day is : levity

Levity \Lev"i*ty\ (l[e^]v"[i^]*t[y^]), n. [L. levitas, fr. levis light in weight; akin to levare to raise. See {Lever}, n.] 1. The quality of weighing less than something else of equal bulk; relative lightness, especially as shown by rising through, or floating upon, a contiguous substance; buoyancy; -- opposed to {gravity}. He gave the form of levity to that which ascended; to that which descended, the form of gravity. --Sir. W. Raleigh. This bubble by reason of its comparative levity to the fluidity that incloses it, would ascend to the top. --Bentley. 2. Lack of gravity and earnestness in deportment or character; trifling gayety; frivolity; sportiveness; vanity. `` A spirit of levity and libertinism.'' --Atterbury. He never employed his omnipotence out of levity. --Calamy. 3. Lack of steadiness or constancy; disposition to change; fickleness; volatility. The levity that is fatigued and disgusted with everything of which it is in possession. --Burke. Syn: Inconstancy; thoughtlessness; unsteadiness; inconsideration; volatility; flightiness. Usage: {Levity}, {Volatility}, {Flightiness}. All these words relate to outward conduct. Levity springs from a lightness of mind which produces a disregard of the proprieties of time and place.Volatility is a degree of levity which causes the thoughts to fly from one object to another, without resting on any for a moment. Flightiness is volatility carried to an extreme which often betrays its subject into gross impropriety or weakness. Levity of deportment, of conduct, of remark; volatility of temper, of spirits; flightiness of mind or disposition. web1913
levity n 1: feeling an inappropriate lack of seriousness [ant: {gravity}] 2: lightness of manner wn

Radio Crankypants #3 : Well, I got it work on an old Mac.

It appears that the Windows version can't figure out how to start/finish the launch process. By the looks of it, the application starts an http daemon on port 5335 and issues a system command to open a web browser at http://127.0.0.1:5335 . The form gets sent to...I didn't think to check. Eventually, it ends up n the UserLand servers but I don't know whether it's routed through the desktop application and sent out as an XML-RPC request first. Then the mothership sends back an usernumber which is used to trigger the instantiation of user.radio.prefs table. I wonder what would happen if I just exported the table out of one copy of Radio and in to another. Could it do syncing and keep track of who was on first in tandem? What about file locking? Anyway, if the application can't start the initial server it just sits there and the only feedback you get is Installing tools... When it "just worked" this morning, I thought maybe there had been a timeout problem because the mothership was being hammered, after the release, but it's the same old thing this morning.

"So the measures we adopt today—constitutional rules, statutes, and perhaps even media ethics principles—won't be temporary. They won't go away. This doesn't mean these measures are wrong; they may be good permanent measures to have. But let's not fool ourselves that we can have them just for a few months and then return to business as usual. This is going to be business as usual."

Bill Nichols : Digital Libraries in the Large

"Federation solves two problems — providing a common access method to different databases of similar data, and providing transparent access to very large distributed databases that would not be practical to concentrate in one location. Federation creates a multilayer interface between the Internet and each DB, with common high-level services and custom low-level access to each different DB. Thus all of the code can be shared except the detailed access code for each DB."

Elizabeth Hayt : Modern Art as Spectacle - That's Entertainment!

"Ambitious art wants to have the same impact as Tom Ford's Gucci ads and Steven Meisel's Versace ads. Glamour was once regarded as a superficial aesthetic, but now it's a powerful aesthetic. Almost 35 years ago, the French theorist Guy Debord described our age as the 'society of the spectacle.' Now spectacles have become the art of our society." <sigh />

OpenInteract sounds like a Perl-ified Zope

"[The abstraction layer called SPOPS, for Simple Perl Object Persistence with Security,] allows you to use any supported data store to fetch, create, update and remove objects. Current data stores include DBI (which supports most SQL databases), GDBM and configuration files. However, SPOPS can be easily extended to support CORBA objects, LDAP directories or even simple text files. ... SPOPS exploits the power of perl as a glue language and allows coders to use a common paradigm (object-as-hashref) to perform some amazing tasks." Neat.

Web Techniques : Blog Rolling Competitions

"If I were deploying a Weblog on a machine over which I had complete control, I would lean strongly toward using Squishdot for my Weblog. The biggest reason for this is ease of installation and maintenance; both of these are benefits that come with using Zope. Also, Zope is highly extensible, and its separation of content and presentation scales well when you have multiple people customizing the site itself."

Perlmonks : Net::Ping, The Mini-series

"I used the Perl debugger to step into Net::Ping and found that the connect() was failing with "Connection refused". What does this mean? It means that the other computer is up, is reachable, and isn't listening on TCP port 7 (and it did this all without triggering the time out). Well, that is a wonderful form of a successful ping in my book. When I ping a computer, I don't want to be told whether it is listening on port 7! So Net::Ping should return a true value for this case. Instead it returns a false value and manages to hide the value of $! so you can't just change the false to true if $! is "Connection refused". *sigh*"

Paul Lukas : Inconspicuous Consumption

"It's about deconstructing the details of consumer culture -- details that are either so weird or obscure that we'd never see them, or so ubiquitous that we've essentially stopped seeing them. ... Every month, this column will use products like these -- some of them eccentric, many exceedingly ordinary, but all worthy of close inspection -- as a way to look at consumer culture in excruciating detail." This month's topic is the almost forgotten, but amazingly topical, hole puncher.
