NewsViews Tool for Radio Userland, v.0.1: "NewsViews Tool for Radio Userland, v.0.1 **Peace of Mind for News Junkies** "
For as much as i might like future capabilities now; I would under no circumstances, never, not ever again, want to not have a lesser news 'processor'. newsviews has you assign defaults from - your categories - for posts to sort themselves into. link it from your #desktopWebsiteTemplate.txt and click through groups of feeds. cool categorized news-presentation. neat. | ||

Don't forget that a NAT is not a FireWall. it does not really add effort to get the right ip and know that you're getting your port tunneled. so no firewall limit there, yes?
just curious why dont i get channel subscription notices through my NAT/tunnel(s)? could be the same issue as the above q, no? | ||

"Read this article on Web Services interop. It's an eye-opener because they include sample code for a web service in .NET. Look at all the overhead. Did they really design an environment for web services? If so what are all those magic incantations about? I've seen Simon and Sam (and Christian) comment on this, their eyes can't see the overhead. But Sjoerd who's a scripting guy, sees it. Sometimes it pays to unlearn the things you take for granted. Make every bit of complexity justify itself, and if it can't, off to the bit bucket. Try Don's Amazing Puzzle for a demo of how hard it can be to see things you take for granted. My untrained eye sees six lines of overhead in the .NET hello world script.  [Scripting News]"
hmmm. it's anders, its oop. its not scripting. | ||

last time... "Why do we continue to ..": homeostasis, of course... but take these detours, i find this stuff fascintating and just brewed up a rough story showing a simple phase/flow noun/verb mapper for the zodiac .. which i want to mention in this context without forgetting to leave a link to go beyond the question to a large scale integration.
i brewed up the elements on the story some months before my life would get ripped apart. somehow i think that walking through the big picture aided by a wee bit of algebra helps audit one's thinking. it also likely that coding has completely fried my brain. anyway, i had a traumatic time and this thing didnt get cleaned up until today. enjoy. and check out tiller. | ||

THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2002| "Why do we continue to act as if the universe were constructed from nouns linked by verbs, when we know it is really constructed from verbs linked by nouns?": "I believe we are edging towards a new paradigm, in which process and interaction — the verbs— are all there is, and material stuff — the nouns — are simply placeholders for more verbs. However, we don't yet have suitable language or mathematics for describing this new viewpoint, and we never will if we fail to recognise the reasons why we so easily slip back into our old ways. Before we can construct something new we must deliberately deconstruct what we have. So the first question I want to ask is: how is our understanding constrained by the apparatus we use for gaining that understanding? After that we can start to discuss what new kinds of language and mathematics might liberate us from this paradigm trap."
I've been grappling with this for a bit and would ask "how is our you could now talk about AC interfaces (by mapping to an 'applied math' domain), impedance matches, resonances, dissonances, and have lots of algebra to guide your thinking. we kind of know that if you go slow enough you can map the stuff both ways. i find the imaginary numbers arising with AC especially neat. nouns then become DC, or verbs without any degrees of freedom. anyhow, i think the answer is, as implied in the question, 'our perceptual distortion' and our investment in them.. two terms. i think they reduce to homeostasis.

kuro5hin.org || Any more questions?: ""To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves." - The Edge "
i hope they remember to ask "what better questions can we ask", "what is this process", "how can we enhance this process", so that the minds stay on the edge... you dont have to be complex and sophisticated to ask yourself self-limiting question.. or is the Edge report not _really reporting the intent.. what's the intent of this? jerk-off? pushing knowledge in knowledge technology? high bandwidth practice? worth tracking. just went there.. here's my favorite question its from about the middle of the list. i vote 'desire'. it like it self instantiates because its so damn recursive. see also. I use Win Wenger's 1979 "Your limitless invention machine" since '84 and am still not done messing with it. MORE in thoughts. | ||

Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe by Andrew Boyd ran into this book in the checkout line of my local magazine store yesterday. satire on a sickday felt like homeopathy. i just flipped through it, read one or two of the pages. neat, funny, mindbending, not to be trusted and clear about it:) i liked it. | ||
