posts brought to you by the category “mc jobs”

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.

[A]lthough I can't really control what people do with the HTML when they download it, I can damned well ensure that URLs in mail I send don't end up on the web and being a liability.

NY Times : More Greens? A Red Light on the Vineyard.

They declared the game, particularly as played by summer-season swells who swoop in and out on private jets, to be a kind of recreational poison that is slowly but surely killing the clam-digging, beachcombing, plaid-shirt-wearing soul of Martha's Vineyard.

"A golf course is the epitome of suburban leisure and affluence," said James Athearn, a commission member from Edgartown who voted against the new course. He described golf as a cultural steamroller that was crushing "the character and identity that we are trying to preserve."

Susan Sontag : Real Battles and Empty Metaphors

I do not question that we have a vicious, abhorrent enemy that opposes most of what I cherish — including democracy, pluralism, secularism, the equality of the sexes, beardless men, dancing (all kinds), skimpy clothing and, well, fun. And not for a moment do I question the obligation of the American government to protect the lives of its citizens. What I do question is the pseudo-declaration of pseudo-war. These necessary actions should not be called a "war." There are no endless wars; but there are declarations of the extension of power by a state that believes it cannot be challenged.

I will finish this up tonight, but I may not post a tarball until the morning. I need to add the category methods and maybe export a metaWeblog object rather than simply overriding the Blogger API methods; something anyway. Currently these methods are only available through the Blogger.pm "radio" engine . Props to Dave for setting up the public site for testing.

On upstreaming

or "What goes up must come down". In a perfect world, rsync would have been ported to all platforms. In a near-perfect world, you could atleast pass the ls -laR command to an FTP client and and pipe it through to a series of SAX handlers/filters that ended with a single representation of all the changes. I suppose you could run a daemon on the server-side, every (n) minutes and output a dotfile for the client to read. Or maybe run a stand-alone XML-RPC server, at the remote location, that returns a data structure of the directory layout. If you assume that the server has more processing power/tools than the client, there could be a second method that accepted an XML representation of the client-side directory structure that returns a list of changes. But the point is ...the point is that some pointy-head somewhere is going to seize on this as an opportuntity to write YA markup language... that this is really just a daemon with a dumb GUI for storing paths and an authentication. I wonder how hard it would be to hack the Amphetadesk framework to do this since it's essentially the same concept : every once in a while, do something over here with this login. see also : XML::Directory and I'd love to retire XML::Handler::2Simple in favor of the forthcoming XML::Simple

Notes from the "You say French beans" department.

I was given a book of recipes, originally published in the New York Times The Minimalist column, for Christmas. Over coffee, this morning, I stumbled across the following passage :
Any kind of green beans will work, although thinner beans, like delicate, flavorful [sic] haricots verts, should be added a minute or two later than common green beans.
After pausing for a moment, I decided to consult the venerable Robert & Collins (how can you not love a dictionary that has a translation for the term fuckwit ?) which defines the French to English translation for haricot vert as French bean. However, there is no listing for the French bean in the English to French translation and, indeed, green bean is translated as, well, haricot vert. Further research yielded nothing from the Joy of Cooking and all that The New Basics, that penultimate of yuppie cookbooks which can atleast be counted on to make much ado about these sorts of silly distinctions, had to say was that French green beans known as haricots verts are "slender and delicate". And before you say it, a broad bean is known as a feve , although I for one have no idea where the accent circonflexe is on this dastardly keyboard...
