Lights out, everything shut down.
I took these photos in response to a story on Slashdot called "A Bill of Lights" in which the author wished to get manufacturers to tone down the LED insanity. It struck a chord with me, so I decided to photograph my desk with the lights on and the lights off.
Text to foo
This is a quick rant on my search for a component I need to convert plain text that allows readable markup, when parsed produces strict pdf, text, html, LaTex, xml, DocBook etc. It tool must work with python and be under active development.
Reading this article ....
Busted link. You can find the article (jimt) at: perlmonks.org/?node_id=572402
You can tell perlmonks is an old forum. If built now if would probably have a cooler url something along the lines of *perlmonks.org/monk/jimt/572402* which is much easier to write and locate.
It's funny that even as a freelancer I get the Mondays. (I also still love Fridays. Love 'em.) Today was kind of boring, except that the graffiti story I told you about a few days ago made it to Slashdot. That was pretty cool. But other than that, not a lot happened during the day. To spice things up, I wrote a really weird Twitter story, which took the form it did largely because this morning at the gym the words "there were no competing attractions" appeared in the book I was reading, and I liked them and wanted to use them.
(Yes, I read at the gym.)
In the evening, Mahler and friends. Here's the last illicit photo I took at Symphony Hall.

"The Creation of Groundspeak
After the increased traffic from Slashdot, Irish realized that the ongoing management of the web site would quickly grow out of the lone computer on his home DSL line. So in late 2000, he partnered with Elias Alvord and Bryan Roth, two coworkers at Sunrise Identity, to start a new company called Groundspeak Inc. (originally "Grounded Inc."). With the proceeds from sales of 144 geocaching t-shirts, they moved the machines into a hosted environment in downtown Seattle. The founders continued to work for Sunrise Identity while managing the new company and the web site in their off hours."
This shirt is not from the original batch of shirts. Groundspeak produced this design for a couple years before we discontinued them.
It's full of teenagers who don't have a clue about anything. But that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that it's impossible to ignore them.
On Slashdot I can set my comment preferences to filter these morons out of my sight.
Yes sir, fresh from our garden without any pesticides whatsoever. 100% organic, tastes wonderful with a scoop of Breyer's vanilla ice cream. We've also got an enormous patch of raspberries which are equally tasty. It's actually quite surprising how you can use up these berries during the summer and have more left over to save for the off seasons, all without having to go and pick some to supplement the stash in the freezer.
Okay, okay, who really wants to read about berries. But I thought I should probably ramble on a bit about whatever is in the picture, seeing as the text appears right below it. A few things might be of interest, as a matter of fact.
Today I learned of a kick-ass web-based HTML editor on Slashdot, and read about how this guy literally raised $600 in two days to buy himself a new iBook, on which he promised to develop support on the software for popular browser Safari. I'm just astounded at the ease with which he got this money, though I suppose he has put a lot of hard work into his slick piece of software.
Crap. I completely forgot what the other thing was I was supposed to talk about. Um, insert interesting thing here. Thanks, bye.
I got annoyed by flickr's square icon cutting off the chimneys, so I thought I'd try this thing I saw on Slashdot the other day.
science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/25/1835256
There's software for it here:
The java version let you specify things to keep (I outlined the memorial and the chimneys) but it did a bad job on the sky and also cut a chunk off the left chimney. The C version did a much better job on the sky but didn't have the preservation controls. So I pasted the original chimneys back in on top - that's what you have here.
An interesting experiment!

More posts by year summary
Oldest posts I have in 2002. I did a lot of posting before this but not in blog format. Well not exactly. I'll expand on this at some later date. I extracted them from my slashdot account. I must be able to reproduce old posts in the engine extracted from external sites.
At any time now I can add old posts resurrected, rescued from other sources.

Based on the 2006 April Fools Joke on Slashdot, immitating the CuteOverload attitude. OMG I LUURRV both sites! Keeses!!!
Ugh. Evidently I had no idea what I was doing. Three precious tri-x frames wasted.
That is Arky, he of the controversial slashdot story of last year, sitting there in the right side. After some exposure to Kerala style free software activism, he was scared shitless, ran off and hid himself in Bangalore for a few days. Last heard, he's gathered himself up again, gone straight back to God's Own Country and settled comfortably there on a semi-permanent basis, not deterred by its share of Devil's Own People.
A most brave soul, I must say.

OK, it was more about the tragedy of the commons. It just helped to have a big photo of cows.
I also liked seeing Hobbes and Rousseau arguing slashdot-style, "Shut up!" "No, *you* shut up!"

Update: Now covered on Slashdot.
