perhaps i'm risking engaging in a form of blognosing, but i'm going to say it anyway.
i like oreilly.
i like oreilly because they have people like simone paddock and sara winge who will go out of their way to give you a hand if your dogs eat your copy of programming web services with xml-rpc.
thanks. the dogs promised not to eat the new copy as long as i keep up with the walking schedule.
in other oreilly news near and dear to my heart. nathan torkington has started a bioinformatics weblog and there's also a new bioinformatics discussion list. it all looks like very good stuff if you're into that sort of thing.

So That Was A Bright Idea Then... should serve as a warning. if you have the prerequisites in place to take advantage of wapblogger and you have a penchant for inebriation - well, my friends, you might just find yourself deciding it's a good idea to proclaim to the world at 3:28a.m.:

"tonight i had many a blowjob, you are now thinking alas the young lad has got himself a wench. No i cry to you, i have eyes for only one, and thout shall only be known as Charlotte of the Merrion household. The blowjob is behold the ideal cocktail of the chicago rock cafe, a shot of kahula topped with whipped cream and drunk with the hands behind the back. This adds to the style drinking such a shot a does the job superbly."
hmmm. there's an interesting blurb in peter saint-andre's jabbercon report:

"Part of what makes interoperability a reality in Jabber is the existence of a modular architecture in which developers can create their own server modules. That task has just been made much easier by the release of the Jabber External Component Libraries (JECL). These libraries, developed at Jabber, Inc. mainly by Dave "DizzyD" Smith, provide a strong foundation for external component development in C++ by giving programmers consistent methods for handling socket connections to Jabber servers, managing threads pools, and manipulating XML data structures. You can find these libraries at jabber.tigris.com, the new home for code that is open-sourced by Jabber, Inc. A win32 port of these libraries will likely emerge at that site, as will language bindings or re-writes for other languages such as Python and Java."and yet, when i try to follow the link to jabber.tigris.com - it's nowhere to be found. hopefully, it'll come up soon.
o.k. why do i keep getting a error message that insists that the new blogger.getRecentPosts method doesn't exist?

Nope. It's not possible for my seat to get any narrower and still have me fit in. I guess that only makes sense if you know i'm on a plane heading for montreal. Still bummed about missing jabbercon. Hi. Ho.

"Peer-to-peer is the more kind of philosophical question; Web services right now is a more technological set of questions. But I think the two can actually inform one another quite a bit. It's plain to anybody looking at the peer-to-peer movement that one of the things it's critically lacking is an agreed-upon set of infrastructure and data standards. This is what Web services is trying to create, obviously, at its core. It seems likelier to me that peer- to-peer will converge on standards pioneered by the Web services people, rather than on standards arising directly out of the peer-to-peer world."
great. just great. while i was at work today, one or both of the dogs ate my copy of Programming Web Services with XML-RPC. with two cow hoofs, two big ass bones and a variety of other chewables laying around, i'm guessing that they are trying to send me a message. something along the lines of, "this is just a warning. take us for more walks. screw that damn computer." i interrogated both of them, but neither would snitch on the other, despite the attempted bribes of peanut butter.

i had the opportunity to go to jabbercon, but i passed it up because i just got back from boston and have to be in montreal the day after the conference and too much travel makes me, um, grumpy. i'm already starting to regret the decision. hopefully, there will be lots of real-time reporting. sniff.

"AirSnort is a wireless LAN (WLAN) tool which recovers encryption keys. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions, computing the encryption key when enough packets have been gathered."[ via hack the planet ]
"AirSnort requires approximately 100M-1GB of data to be gathered. Once enough packets have been gathered, AirSnort can guess the encryption password in under a second."
sweet jesus. me and the mall don't get along. and don't even get me started on ikea, where I witnessed some sort of mass consumerism feeding frenzy. it was ugly with masses displaying symptoms including glazed eyes, increased aggressiveness and inability to operate a cart in a civilized manner. so i decided that blogging via wap is as good a way as any to chew up time while kris searches for that perfect duvet cover.

somehow i missed the announcement that covad is filing for chapter 11. my isp, speakeasy, is putting a good face on it, but i'm not exactly filled with an overwhelming sense confidence that i'll be able to rely on my dsl connection in the future. don't you just love the dynamics of markets dominated by monopolists?

wow. practical css layout is packed with useful tricks and tips for table-less design:

"So now we have a bunch of nested DIVs. How is this any better than the nested TABLEs they replace? The answer lies in the way the tag was intended to be used. DIVs imply a logical, or structural grouping. Even when they are nested they remain structural markup. In our example we grouped images with their captions (first level), and then grouped these image/caption pairs with similar image/caption pairs (second level). These are both examples of structural grouping that is handled quite well by the DIV tag.
However, TABLEs imply a relationship between column and/or row headers, and the data in the TABLE cells. When we use them for layout, we lose the structural semantics of a TABLE. And we are back to using HTML for layout. Nesting TABLEs only compounds the problem."
just in time for summer - look snazzy and support the site at the same time by buying some snowdeal schwag!
“The stranger has been a fundamental touchstone of cultures at least since Abraham and Sarah invited weary road travelers into their tent only to find out that they were angels in disguise. The Odyssey, too, is a meditation on strangers and hospitality: Odysseus experiences different ways of being a stranger on his way home while the suitors abuse every rule of hospitality in his own house. It's easy to see why strangers are so important: a culture's attitude towards them expresses its understanding of its position in the world of social groups. In our culture, we're suspicious of strangers. They're a threat. They lurk in shadows. On the Web, however, strangers are the source of everything worthwhile. Strangers and their utterances are the stuff of the Web.”
