For the 1% of Open Source software enthusiasts who haven't yet seen this yet: Donate to support the development of free/libre/open source graphics software by helping developers meet in real time, in person, (etc.) at the Libre Graphics Meeting 2008! I'm a big fan of Inkscape, because it lets me, as someone who is not very artistic (nor has very good (precise) hand-eye coordination) to create and manipulate logos and icons with ease. My graphics programming skills are essentially non-existent, so I figured that I could be more useful by donating some cash to help a developer of one of the participating projects travel to the meeting.

And here's the shiny (but not flash-shiny) information-rich button that they're using to show how much more money they need to reach their goal: (I should note for the American-income-tax-minded that this is a tax-deductable donation.)

On a somewhat related note, I'm planning on going to LinuxFest Northwest 2008. Fortunately for me, both the conference and the transportation is free. People who have either followed me for at least a year or have read through the archives know that I went last year. I plan on going on Saturday again (this year, April 26), and I'm bringing my XO laptop with me. If things work out right (i.e., my stupid printer decides to work), I'll have a nice, big Awn icon (again, thank you Inkscape!) taped to my bag. It'll be an interesting experiment to see who recognizes it.

Everywhere I turn, there's a new post lamenting the fall of the mighty OiNK music torrent tracker. Yes, it's a pity, but what's surprising to me was the number of people who actually used it (and blogged about losing it after the takedown). It's like these people want to say, "Yes, I was a part of the secret organization before it disbanded!" It's an odd sort of sensation reading those posts; those of us who were also contributors to "the cause" say to ourselves, "Right on, brother! Fight the power! I, too, miss what has been wrongfully taken away from us!"

As I think about it, it gets more and more surreal. Why are we sad about something that is plainly an illegal means of retrieving goods? Is it because of the slightly better feeling in our conscience that says, "it's OK, I'm helping others who can't necessarily find this music any other way through seeding", rationalizing it as a sense of community and giving back? I am boggled.

I'm taking a break from both trying to make a <tbody/> scroll vertically without a horizontal scrollbar present and playing "Link's Crossbow Training" to write up what's transpired in the past several days in Awn-land.

The Awn Curves branch was partially merged into awn-core-testing. I say "partially merged" because meek is merging it in parts, due to the complexity.

The big event was when Neil finished reviewing the awn-core-testing and awn-extras-testing branches and merged them into their respective trunks. Among the benefits is that users of reacocard's Ubuntu Gutsy repository can now use the shiny new features that those of us on the (very) bleeding edge have been using for a while now.

I should also point out that Neil has added both moonbeam and myself to awn-core, in recognition of our work on both the testing branches and our respective personal branches. This means we have commit access to Awn's trunk branch and more bug/blueprint triaging privileges.

As a result of the big merge, we now have a new roadmap. What used to be Neil's big rewrite for 0.3 (code-named fandabbydosy) has been spread out over several releases. See the roadmap link for details. One important item to mention is that we plan to release version 0.2.4 of both Awn and Awn Extras on Monday (02/18).

In Awn Extras, most of the changes have been bugfixes. A patch was added to the media-control applet for Quod Libet support.

Finally, I'm holding a contest for Awn users/enthusiasts. In the near future, I'd like to have a post with screenshots and videos showing off all of the new features and applets in Awn/Awn Extras. Unfortunately, I suck at doing that sort of thing myself. :) So, I'm giving the Awn community the chance to show off their customized docks.

The only restriction on the screenshots and videos is that you license them under a Creative Commons license. I will, of course, attribute all media to their proper creators :) Ideally, the screenshots should be as hi-res as possible, but any resolution is welcome. The same goes for videos.

The deadline is Feb. 21, because I'd like to write the post by the end of next week. I'll choose a set of media that looks the nicest (with the help of the people in #awn) and use that as the basis of my next Awn post.

So if you wish to participate, please post the URL to the media, the attribution information you wish to use (your name or nick), and which feature/applet you're highlighting on the forum thread or as a comment here.

Note to self: the OpenWrt wiki, particularly the dnsmasq page, is a very useful resource for understanding why my XMPP server won't talk to the GMail or LiveJournal XMPP servers. (Hint: filterwin2k is a very bad configuration option for XMPP servers. Stupid default option.)

I switched my DNS host from zoneedit.com to editdns.net, because ZoneEdit doesn't support DNS SRV records. They're needed for XMPP server-to-server federation support. My XMPP address is <${my_second_level_domain} at ${my_second_level_domain} dot com>. Note that this is different from my email address.

I learned something new today: it seems that <button>s have a type attribute, and default to type="submit". Obviously, this doesn't apply to IE, which defaults to type="button". Makes my life just a bit more annoying. On the other hand, I don't have to use <input type="[submit|reset]"/>, which apparently makes it a bit easier to style.

(Note: Originally written on 2007/11/11. It's been languishing on my computer since then.)

To begin with, I have to say that, like many people on the "Internets", I enjoy reading dive into mark for its sharp wit and no-holds-barred writing style, no matter who employs him.
His latest post is no exception. A few things bothered me about it, though.

For one, it (implicitly) assumes that you're going to be installing MySQL™ on your Ubuntu™ desktop machine and start using it to develop some application that needs a relational database for X, Y, or Z. However, ignorant CEOs and CIOs also read things written on the Internets, and when they happen to find this post via their Google™ search du jour for new technology to integrate into the fold, they'll turn to their system administrators and ask, "Why do I pay you so much when all I have to do to install a relational database is click a button a few times?" Thank you, Mr. Pilgrim, for devaluing system administrators in one fell swoop.

Another part that bothered me was the end. Here's how I imagine your average Ubuntu™ user's thought processes: "OK, I've installed this MySQL™ thing. Now what? How do I access this server thing? I have to use some sort of client, right? What kind of client do I get? Can I just search for 'mysql client' and do the same thing? Oh crap, that's for the terminal!" There goes that whole anti-"sudo make me a sandwich" argument. I guess it would be different if this HOWTO was in serial form.

On the other hand, it seems to be a much better experience than installing DB2™ on Ubuntu™.

Just recently, I ran across the third Wordpress weblog in my feed list that had been hit with spam via what I assume to be the vulnerability fixed in version 2.3.1. It only shows up in feed readers, because it uses CSS to hide itself on the regular pages. That CSS is stripped by most feed readers' sanitizing process that removes all markup that may be malicious.

The striking thing about it is that all of the weblogs were related to web development: one was on a personal browser developer's website, one was a prominent web development news site, and the most recent one was the official weblog of a web browser. Now, I'm not necessarily putting the single browser developer at fault, since web applications aren't necessarily his area of interest. His webhost should make sure that classic security holes (like PHP's register_globals option) are turned offor disabled. On the other hand, the other two sites should know better. The web development news site has a significant number of posts on web application security, and the browser vendor deals with the security of its product every day, so surely they should be monitoring (or at least, find an automated process to monitor) feeds such as the ones at the National Vulnerability Database, in case exploits are discovered for any web applications that they may have installed.

To everyone else, if you can, please make sure that your webhosting environment is properly secured. Also, definitely subscribe to the news feeds of all the web applications that you run, because more often than not, there will be security vulnerabilities discovered, so you should upgrade as soon as possible in those cases.

I figure this is worth a shot, given that this blog is hosted on a sister application.

To the developers working on Gmail: I would like to know your position on comment #3 in flameeyes's post from a Claws-Mail developer. Are you or are you not following the IMAP specification in this respect? If not, why not? Additionally, can it be fixed?

I had the great fortune to listen to Professor Lawrence Lessig tonight. I've been a fan of his ideas (free culture, code as law, etc.) as well as his presentation style. Well, I got to see all of that at the lecture. His speaking style is even more impressive in person. He tied together a good deal of the work he's done over the years, including a preview of his new work on corruption, which the audience wanted him to speak on in the the Q&A that followed the presentation.

The presentation itself is a little hard to explain for me, because it dealt with so much material, and yet I didn't miss a heartbeat of it. The first part of the lecture dealt with the question posed in the title advertised: Is Google (2008) Microsoft (1998)? Short answer: yes and no, but don't assign morality labels to businesses (much like you shouldn't assign them to technology), because they're interested in only one thing: making the shareholders happy. The second part explained the "new" model of content distribution and ownership, and how Google and Facebook, for example, still don't exactly "get" it (c.f. the Google Maps API TOS or the Facebook Apps Developer TOS).

In all, I am very glad that I got to see Lessig speak in person when he came around to this area of the country.

Hurrah! Congrats to the authors/contributors!

I'm working on (among other things) finishing up wiki support in my trac-atompp plugin. I'm nearly done, I think. In order to make sure it's "valid", I'm using Tim Bray's APE (albeit from CVS). However, I've got a few questions about some of the errors:

8. ! 53 of 53 entries in Page 1 of Entry collection lack app:date elements.

From the source, it looks like it should actually say app:edited. But, why is it giving an error? According to draft 14, section 10.2, Atom Entry elements in Collection documents SHOULD contain one "app:edited" element, and MUST NOT contain more than one. Perhaps the messages should conform to RFC 2119 instead of lumping in all of the SHOULDs with the MUSTs, or something.

49. ? Can't update new entry with PUT: No Content [Dialog]
50. ! Couldn't delete the entry that was posted: No Content [Dialog]

I don't really understand why HTTP status code 204 (No Content) isn't allowed for either PUT or DELETE, seeing as RFC 2616 says that it is a perfectly valid response for both actions.

...is totally a misnomer. They don't let you share lists of bookmarks within a network (which is what I want to do), but rather, it is a list of all of the web servers advertised via Zeroconf in a particular network. Just needed to get that out.

Political Donations of Seattle Notables

Via the Freshmeat feed, I just noticed this thing called the "MinGW cross compiling environment" that looks like it does more or less the same thing as my xmingw overlay, except that it's not distro-specific. (It's not my fault that the portage concept is awesome.) I took one look at the mercurial repository, and found that it consisted of exactly one shell script. Wow. It's a big one, too. It currently supports 26 packages and is roughly 2000 lines long. My overlay, on the other hand, supports over 200 packages (with at least one shell script per package), and I probably don't want to know how many lines of code that is. I'm surprised that the number is over 200. Well, sort of. Its Bazaar repository is currently on revision 466, and apparently I've had this branch for a little over a year. That latter part's news to me.

In related news, as I type, I'm building Firefox 2.0.0.5 via xmingw. The Windows XP machine that I use is going loco, and many programs (including Firefox) crash when I try to use them. Strangely enough, my self-compiled version of Pidgin runs just fine. So, in that spirit, I'm trying to see whether a self-compiled version of Firefox will do the trick as well.

Edit: I was going to mention with regards to the Mozilla (including NSPR and Firefox) build process that they have a upside-down perspective of what "build" and "host" means, in comparison to 99% of the other autoconf-based projects out there. Usually, the "host" is the platform that one is compiling for, and "target" is the platform on which the compilation is taking place. Yes, it does make sense the way that Mozilla is doing it, but it's the opposite of everyone else, which makes it annoying to build. Well, that reason and the fact that it is a horribly monolithic build process (see OpenOffice.org, imake-powered X build process)

I just finished looking at the slides from the GUADEC presentation on the GNOME Online Desktop and the associated screencasts. The concept of installing software from a browser like that (given that I have some idea of how it works) is ridiculously awesome. More importantly, I would like to see how they design the following:

an HTTP library that shares cache and cookies with the browser, and supports asynchronous operation with the GLib main loop out of the box

OK, so right now, Gtk+ and friends currently have libsoup, which fulfills the latter requirement. The former requirement seems to me to be much more complex. First, do you require compatibility with multiple browsers (complexity becoming O(N*M) for varying N and where M is the number orf browsers to support), and if so, what do you do with browsers which seemingly don't provide an API? (I bring this up because I have no idea whether Opera provides one.) Now, imagine that they chose only the Gecko/XULRunner libraries to be compatible with. That API is always changing, so does this mean that the resulting library will also be unstable?

As an aside, I wonder whether this will also be available for Windows. Of course, this assumes that D-Bus will be available for Windows at some point in the future.

Note: I had intended to post the first part of this on his blogDave Johnson's blog as a comment, but it rejected me twice. Apparently I write like a spammer.

That was a lot more complicated that I had expected; makes me wonder if I'm the first person (other than Tim, of course) to deploy the APE.

I deployed it locally a few months ago, while debugging my Atom protocol plugin for Trac. During that time, I wrote up some implementation questions (which Tim graciously answered) and the method I used to run it.

---

Incidentally, lately I was tweaking my particular implementation since Tim Bray had recently updated the APE to be compliant with the latest revision of the specification. My shebang line for go.rb changed from #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/jruby to #!/usr/bin/env jruby. It's still working fine, even if it's still a little slow.

I need to figure out how to fix some of the errors that I get. For instance:

18. ? Client-provided slug 'ape-61911' not used in server-generated URI.

I have no idea how to fix this. When I get a valid Slug header, I use it verbatim:

To server:

GET /trac/atom/wiki/ape-61911 HTTP/1.1\r
Host: localhost\r
Accept: */*\r
\r

Perhaps the following line is confusing the APE:

Location: http://me.malept.com/trac/xmingw/atom/wiki/ape-61911\r

Additionally, apparently my plugin currently has some problems with the new multi-post app:edited test, but so far I think it's something wrong in my code as opposed to being a bug in the APE. I'm going to try to take a look at it tonight.

I has a diploma, or at least some sort of rolled-up paper with some signatures on it. They're the same, right?

Typically, I'm not one to toot my own horn too much, but I'm rather excited about this. Because of my earlier post, two things happened:

1. The APE was changed to support HTTP status 204 No Content, and
2. the APP draft specification was changed to clarify (via text and examples) that non-200 OK responses for PUT/DELETE were acceptable.

I think it's awesome that I could (somewhat indirectly) influence a standard like that. At the very least, it gives the ol' ego a little boost.

Two announcements tonight: the creation of a bazaar branch for Avant Window Navigator (Awn), and the creation of a bazaar-related gentoo overlay.

First, I really like what njpatel has done with Awn. I've always wanted a bar that looked and functioned like the OSX bar, but the closest I could find was the gDesklets starterbar, and it didn't handle currently running programs. Awn is just plain awesome. Unfortunately, I don't use Gnome on my desktop at home, I use Xfce. So I svn co'd the source and created a patch that uses libxfce4util and thunar-vfs instead of gnome-desktop and gnome-vfs. I submitted that patch to the tracker, where, as of the time of this writing, I haven't gotten a response. We'll see. Next up on my list of modifications, is to use Glib's GKeyFile (read: ini-like file parser) as an alternative to GConf. Because bzr-svn finally doesn't die when I try to checkout a remote repository (as of bzr-svn 0.3.2 and bzr 0.15rc2), I now have a bzr-svn branch that contains all of my changes to Awn.

Speaking of bzr-svn, at the request of the developer of bzr-svn, I have published my modified subversion ebuild that contains the patch listed in the parent post to that comment, in a bzr branch, of all things. This branch also contains the latest releases of paramiko, bzr (0.15rc2), bzrtools, bzr-gtk, and bzr-svn.

[Edit: forgot paramiko]

[Edit: forgot to finish a thought]

[Edit (2007/05/16): Update here]

(Part I of a multipart series)

Printers which cannot distinguish between one and three sheets of paper going through the spooling thing at once (I am not an expert on printer jargon), thereby printing 5% of the page on one page, 5% on the second, and 90% on the third. Which also screws up the double-sided print job you were trying to do in order to save paper.

In my previous post, I was running the APE via the command line because I couldn't figure out how I could run it as a CGI in Apache. I don't really want to run Tomcat just for this, and I've had bad experiences with Tomcat administration both for school and for work (which I guess is basically the same thing at this point). So after a bout of searching the Internets, I had found a post on JRuby on Rails which helped me greatly in configuring it. So, without further ado, here's the relevant apache configuration snippet:

SetEnv JRUBY_HOME /usr/share/jruby[1]
SetEnv JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.5[1]
# Jing dependencies
SetEnv CLASSPATH ...[2]
AddHandler cgi-script .rb
Options +ExecCGI

Notes:

1. These values are Gentoo-specific. For JAVA_HOME, I used Java 5 as a precaution, because I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work in version 1.4.x.
2. On Gentoo, they put all of the third-party jars in separate directories so that their java-config utility can manage them all separately for the system and the users. So, the value I had here (which I didn't want to reproduce here because it's way too long) was the result of java-config -d -p jing. You probably don't have to put this line in if jruby can find jing by itself.

For the APE, I had to add #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/jruby to the top of it. For some reason, CGI complains if you leave out the /bin/bash part of it.

There are currently a bunch (~20) of urchins in the Suzzallo reading room who walked in to take a look at the desk of former Senator Warren G. Magnuson. Why they did it, I have absolutely no idea. These were definitely elementary school-aged ones, and even during my tenure in the public school system, I didn't learn very much about the famous senators Magnuson and Jackson in Washington State History class.

I passed Brian AND Carl in number of tracks played on Last.fm. Go me!

Hot Job Market:

It seems that everybody I’ve talked to in the last little while has found a way to work it into the conversation: “Oh, and I’m hiring; know any good developers?” Plus, the pace of calls from head-hunters has picked up. It’s about as hot as I can remember it being, ever, including the bubble.

...yeah, I must be looking in the wrong place. Or maybe it's my lack of experience. It doesn't help that I don't:

1. Have any experience with .NET in particular — in glancing at the listings on craigslist, I see very little, if any, about Java, the one they teach here...not that I actually want to work with that.
2. Am unwilling to leave the Seattle area (don't get me wrong — I'm looking anywhere between Tacoma, Everett, and the Eastside, so long as I can get there by bus)

...bleh. This is just me ranting. One of these days, I need to publicly publish my resume.

Gah, election coverage consumed most of my night, just like it did two years ago. DAMN YOU, TELEVISION! At least it's less aggravating this year.

Yahoo! wants to buy Facebook - WSJ | The Register:

Yahoo! is in talks to buy Facebook, the social networking site for college- and schoolkids, the WSJ reports today.

The WSJ article (via ProQuest) noted that Facebook had held separate discussions with Microsoft and Viacom previously. Personally, if Facebook were to have sold out to Microsoft, I would have deleted all of my information as soon as it was announced. I think it's just as bad to let a company like News Corp. to have a hold of that much personal information. I'm not sure what to think of what will happen if Yahoo! ends up buying it. Yes, it's also one of those giant companies, but they seem to have made Flickr and del.icio.us (some of their other relatively recent acquisitions) better services.

Discuss.

It's a good thing I read the news (and look at the Electoral Vote feed), otherwise I would have completely forgot about my silly absentee ballot. I wonder what prompted them to add the "Signature Security Flap"...

I was talking to my dad today, and he mentioned the main feature article in this week's Seattle Weekly on rats. Why did he bring this up, you may ask yourself. Well, it just so happens that a few weeks ago, it seems that a rat crawled up out of the sewer pipes and into the toilet bowl. Needless to say, I was rather nervous the next time I had to use the facilities at home. Damned toilet rats should NOT exist.

Slog: The Stranger's Blog | Sky NASCAR:

Note: some of this stuff is technical and should have gone here, but it also deals with LJ and I don't really feel like making yet another post.

• New discovery: Drafts in LJ → set to "Private" access


• Justice League Unlimited is ending. Sad.


• I read about some interesting ways to grab data from LJ. My mind already has its gears turning on how to create an über-PIM/social network aggregator thing... unfortunately, it ideally requires one to input some other-website passwords in order to get the extra-cool stuff. Privacy issues ensue. Maybe I'll make it just for myself.

A little background - I wrote this after receiving three emails from three different people in my mailbox (within the course of about three hours) that contained exactly the same content. I happened to forget that it was in my "Drafts" folder until now. Edited only to look better.

To Whom it May Concern:

I've just about had it with the way iSchool staff use the mailing lists that those that are in the school are "strongly encouraged" to subscribe to. It appears that a significant number of those who post to the lists are not aware of the social norms that should be followed when performing such a task. An example of one such occurrence was Feb. 11, when three different professors forwarded the same email to two mailing lists ^[1]. Utilizing Google, the iSchool's obsession, a set of useful links to mailing list etiquette pages can be found, but the first of which is sufficient ^[2]. In reference to the example occurrence, this particular paragraph is relevant:

Should I "crosspost" to multiple lists?

Almost always, the answer to this is no. Most mailing lists are topically disjoint, and there is very little that is equally appropriate for posting to a number of them. It can also be annoying, as usually subscribers will get a copy of your message for each list they're on that you post to -- more than two or three of those and you can have a lot of annoyed people knocking on your mailbox.

That said, there may be some occasional instances where it would be appropriate to post to a number of lists at once. If you think this is the case, then you should probably contact the owner of each list and make sure that they agree before proceeding.

Hopefully, this will enlighten some people as to how to "work smarter, not harder" with regards to mailing lists.

Thanks,
