Re Mark: Well.. the 2003 part is still busted. Need to hack at the grammar to make that work. But the rest parses ok from a syntactic perspective: It even makes semantic sense. Transforming to a storage query, everything is easy except figuring out what the devil "family photos" (compound noun) means. We'll get the photos part... but how do we tell what's family and what's not? I've wrestled with this a bunch... Images present a particularly tricky issue for Storage because its well nigh impossible to extract information from them automatically (actually, this is not quite true, but I'm not going to touch that problem with a ten metre pole). So do we force explicit tagging? Nope, because then we're back to the same "people don't use folders" problem.

Time for the obligatory "I downloaded iTunes for Windows as soon as Steve Jobs clapped his hands, and now here's my review." Actually, I practically did, since I had the iTunes web page open, and refreshed every so often until it magically morphed into the new version with the Windows download link. Anyhow, it's good and bad. The interface is great, as I expected. Dynamic playlists are a terrific thing. But, there's no support for Musepack (obviously). AAC encoding, at least through iTunes itself, is stuck as CBR, and even 192 CBR doesn't sound decent enough to me (I'm sure I'll get grief for that comment). And apparently AAC doesn't support gapless? Not sure about that one. I suppose I could revert to using the best quality MP3 (alt-preset-standard). I'm thinking about it. Or, I'm sure there are other AAC encoders out there that I could just use. Using an external ripper (like EAC or CDex) is a good idea anyway, since they watch for physical problems and try to adjust for them, ...

Argh. PCL-CVS (2_9_9, comes with Debian's XEmacs package) is giving me Connection refused to Savannah when plain old CVS works just fine, even from a *shell* buffer. Can't figure out why....Oh well, it works from GNU Emacs. Maybe time to switch Emacs families once again, I've been now three years or so with XEmacs, that's about as long as I usually stick with one of them.

John Perry (Stanford philosophy prof, and the best lecturer I have ever had) has an insightful and humourous essay on what he calls structured procrastination. The idea is basically that habitual procrastinators don't "do nothing", they just do "a something" that's not supposed to be their top priority. I don't know if this is true for everyone, but this is how I operate. Perry basically says the trick is to do "a something" that's worth doing (e.g. not a something like flipping through irc channels, which is how I tend to procrastinate). When I first read this essay a couple years ago, I realized the most productive times of my life weren't when I took 14 units and avoided "extracurriculars", it was when I took 21 units and tried to do a million things at once. Sure, I failed to do some of those activities well, and sure I got bad grades in a couple of the classes...but on the whole I got a lot more done. Do you measure your success by what you fail to do or what you do? I think ...

Danah Boyd asks a few questions that Stuart Henshall answers with verve. My own answers to Danah... "Skypememelogo"Danah: Id really like to understand the excitement of social software enthusiasts. What is it about Skype that motivates you? Skype engages people who believe their ears more than their eyes. Give Skype to someone in the music business. Or to a dyslexic or someone with ADD. Or to someone who listens to sports or talk radio. This is their linear, visually simple medium. Things should fit people. My Skype addressbook is local. It's unmediated by a third party (unlike my AOL buddy list) and lives on the edge of the cloud, not on a server. This means my addressbook is private. It also means that software/network extensions to my addressbook can scale well and be diverse. My contacts are mine. I can call anonymously. Just log out as me, log in as Mary Had A Little Lamb, and call someone. Then log out and never use that ID again. Unless they recognize my voice, I'm safe. ...
