Look and feel (Oct 15 2003 13:27 GMT) - Neither SharpReader nor RSS Bandit renders my business card nicely. They both strip out or otherwise deactivate the CSS tags that are used in rendering the card. So go my web site if you want to see the card "for real". Raises an interesting question. How much support should syndication feeds like RSS have for look and feel? |

Carve Out A Life (Oct 15 2003 13:27 GMT) - Carve Out A LifeAn unusual residual from reading this book about re-imagining business has struck me ... that is, re-imagining a life. Carving out a life that fits you. A life that fits you exactly. A life tailored to you -- as if -- it were your life. |

New type speed camera on M4? Hoax? [Jim Wade] (Oct 15 2003 13:27 GMT) - Someone forwarded this to me. I assume it's a hoax? You know those new electronic signs on the M4? Well they were switched on by some transport minister on Tuesday. Now the bad news, they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras. |

New translation of Stendahl's The Red and the Black might make it readableThe new translation by Bur (Oct 15 2003 13:26 GMT) - New translation of Stendahl's The Red and the Black might make it readableThe new translation by Burton Raffel rocks. Or, more precisely, it's a blast, which is exactly how Raffel (a distinguished professor of humanities at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette who has also dragged Balzac's old warhorse, Père Goriot, kicking and screaming into the 21st century) has Julien describe his own life: "'If you give me twenty francs,' he says to a visitor while awaiting his trip to the guillotine,... |

(Oct 15 2003 13:25 GMT) - The first SPAM comment after installation of MT Blacklist came in last night, but I ran into a small problem when I clicked the "de-spam" link in the email notification. I'll see if I can help Jay Allen debug it by giving him as much information as I can. Meanwhile, I've disabled the plug-in.... |

Monoculture or Mass Hysteria? (Oct 15 2003 13:25 GMT) - "As seductive as it is to root for David against Goliath, the fact is: Microsoft is not the only 'monoculture' in the digital world. Protocols and open APIs are an example of a necessary monoculture; it would be difficult to describe the web, for example, without HTTP as a common interface. |

iPod review in Stereophile magazine (Oct 15 2003 13:25 GMT) - The high-resolution ripping option is AIFF (so closely associated with Apple that some wags insist it stands for Apple's Interchange File Format). The format creates files that contain the raw audio data, channel information (monophonic or stereophonic), bit depth, and sample rate, as well as application-specific data areas, which allow different applications to add information to the file header that aren't removed when the files are processed by other applications—a feature of greater interest to folks who create music on their computers than to those of us transferring pre-recorded music to our storage media. In other words, AIFF is a memory hog, but it's an audiophile's kind of memory hog, since it throws away no data in an attempt to compress the file size. I use the iPod to listen to new mixes. |
