Bryce's Radio ExperimentsThe Intersection of PDAs, Wireless, Radio, and CSS.Moving- November 4, 2002 I'm finally taking the plunge and switching to "MT". I'm not going to bother importing this weblog, at least not initially. Too much work for too little benefit. My archives can stay here indefinitely. My new home page and weblog. Feeds are available in RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0, and RSS 2.0 flavors. I'm not going to set up RSS redirects. I don't like Userland's solution because any aggregator that doesn't understand the format will barf on it. HTTP 301 redirects are better supported,...http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/04.html#a1330 Distributed Tivo cracking- November 2, 2002 With the newest version of the TiVo software (Version 3.2), TiVo has once again changed the secret password to enter "backdoor" mode, which lets advanced users enable hidden features. Unlike last time, people were not able to quickly find the new code, so a distributed computing project was started to find the backdoor codes. You can read about it Here, grab the Linux or Windows clients and pitch in some CPU time for a good cause."

I'll give it another shot once I figure out why Radio is crashing whenever I try to compress weblogData.root.http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/01.html#a1328 Peeve: Large Screenshots- November 2, 2002 Why am I seeing so many screenshots lately that are so large that I have to scroll my maximized browser window on a 1280x1024 display Is there any application that truly requires 750,000+ pixels to demonstrate a single screen or task Give my mouse hand a friggin' break. 800x600 ought to be enough for anything.http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/01.html#a1327 Moving Radio- November 1, 2002 I'm about to try moving my Radio installation to another computer, including moving Radio.root. Crossing my fingers that this doesn't blow up...http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/01.html#a1326 More spam stuff- November 1, 2002 Microsoft Research published A Bayesian Approach to Filtering Junk E-mail way back in 1998. The Adaptive Systems and Interaction group has done quite a bit of research on filtering and classification. Amy Wohl is ranting about Spam and Irresponsible ISPs. I find it interesting that a web hosting provider is using a blacklist to reject incoming mail. Is this a transparent feature that nobody knows about, or do customers have to opt-in In my experience, web hosting customers are an...http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/01.html#a1325 POPFile, Part III- November 1, 2002 The mail parser has been updated to handle Outlook .MSG files. There's a thread on corpus drifting that covers my thoughts on using positive reinforcement to help POPFile to learn. On the mailing list I am training POPFile on, it has missed 3 of 22 messages today. I'm thinking that POPFile needs about 100 messages in the corpus to get accuracy into the high 90s for mailing lists. On the spam front, I seem to be in the middle of a drought. POPFile has missed 1 of 5 messages since...http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/01.html#a1324 Run D.M.C.- November 1, 2002 Anil Dash: You can't miss the music. Check out the current Top 5 on the Billboard charts, you'll find Missy Elliot's "Work It". The last minute of the song is a straight lift from Run-DMC's "Peter Piper". The incredible breakdown to Bob James' Mardi Gras, which Jay cut up for the song, is still so purely grooving and ass-moving that it can top the charts a decade and a half later. Chuck D said it best years ago in one of his rhymes, "Run-DMC first said a DJ could be a band." The "band" behind..http://radio.ntwizards.net/2002/11/01.html#a1323 |
