My friend Jeff, of the best mac apps database on the web fame, is dabbling with using F-Script to generate web pages.
I believe it’s the only example of using f-script for web page generation on the web.

I am so frustrated. I want a way to listen to my music on my new stereo in my living room, without having to go to my office to control it (as I would have to with an Airport Express). The only feature I want is digital output. NO docks, cables, or any solution on the market offers this. I think the cheapest solution is Apple TV, and that’s too expensive and overpriced for my needs. I just want a little dongle that connect to my iPod dock connector and generates optical digital output. GRRRR
Whereas, October 31, 2007 will be the 15th anniversary of the first public demo of sunsite.unc.edu, which is now known as iBiblio.org; and
Whereas, the iBiblio website digital repository and community have become cultural treasures of the state of North Carolina, and
Whereas, iBiblio has played a pivotal role as both a medium and advocate for the free and open sharing of digital information.
Then, therefore this Eighth Day of March
In the Year of Two Thousand Seven,
Representatives Deborah Ross and Verla Insko recognize
iBiblioFor its commitment and contributions to technology and culture,
and to the North Carolina community as a whole.

Command-f heaven.
The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth–it is the truth which conceals that there is none.
The simulacrum is true.

This was funny enough, but I suspected that it was a direct parody of another poster and I got curious. Googling only for “dvd piracy poster” (without the quotes) I found this wipo site (thanks for representing my interests, wipo…) which links to this industry group which distributes this pdf. Here is a screenshot of the original:
I’ve discussed Obama’s web presence before. My feelings on this are only getting stronger. I’ve noticed something about my experience visiting Obama’s site over the past couple weeks. Not only do web/cluetrain geeks such as Fred, Zack, and myself think that he should have his own blog, but when I see the community tools, and the open and personal voice, and the campaign updates, I feel like his bog IS there, but I just can’t find it.
That might sound silly, but go there and see if you agree. With all that juicy up-to-the-minute content, and in particular the “ObamaHQ” blog (with weak IA semantics in the title tag for both the main blog and individual posts, btw), can’t you just imagine Obama chiming in any minute? “Hi folks. We just got back from Austin. I don’t have time to write much but I just wanted to make a few quick notes about what I learned about what’s on Austinites minds these day.”
Which I feel indicates that they are doing a LOT of things right. But there is just this one missing piece…
A website I’ve been working on at my dayjob launched a few days ago: NRDC’s global warming awareness initiative, Beat the Heat:
I made the PHP/MySQL backend for storing and retrieving the user data. Dave Herubin did all the fantastic Flash.
Is it just me, or is there not a single section for discussing actual MySQL queries? It seems that all the query discussion ends up in the newbie section.
Is rcov failing with a bus error?
..../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:322: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.8.0]
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (): [/usr/local/bin/ruby -Ilib:test -S rcov –t…]
This has been happening to me inconsistently for months and driving me crazy. The solution is to use the --no-rcovrt flag, which will not use the c binding and will make rcov run, according to the help page, “30 to 300 times slower”. A small price to pay for consistent test coverage reporting.
(I discovered the solution on this thread)
