Elderly man sentenced in meth case

The man believed to be the oldest Hawaii County resident convicted of a dangerous-drug offense has been sentenced to the maximum five-year prison term, Prosecutor Charlene Iboshi announced Monday.

Newsflash
I've been nominated for an InfoWorld Innovators Award. More details here later. The results will be announced here on May 24. -m
Is writing like electronics?
TV sets, inside, used to include a full schematic diagram. You'd unfold it, then again, and again, and again. There were huge, tablecloth-sized sheets. Back 'in the day', I used to go through these. You could point to any random symbol representing a component somewhere in the thing, and determine exactly what the purpose of that component was. What would happen if you suddenly yanked it out of a running TV?

That's how writing works. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph has to be active doing something for the piece.

To design a big circuit, you wouldn't start with a blank sheet and just start drawing components hooked together. You'd start with a general block diagram, then reduce that into smaller blocks, then figure out how everything interconnects, THEN start arranging individual components to make each block.

That's how writing works. You don't start with a blank page and write a story A to Z. You start with the big picture, flesh it out more, then finally down the the level of words. -m

What would you do?
..if someone handed you a piece of code that could solve NP-hard problems in a reasonably short time? All ideas welcome. Be creative! email me. -m
Thanks ^ 4
Of the 7 regular readers around here, four generous souls (none of whom I'd met previously) offered to volunteer to review my Hack that will be in _XML Hacks_.

In no particular order:

Stephen had great comments on the overall flow and structure. Lots of markers where stuff was good too, not just the bad.

Patrick had too had good comments, especially on the ever-important opening lines. Lots of detailed suggestions and great advice.

Eric helped me see my blind spots, where I was skipping over material too fast.

Daniel had lots of detailed comments, almost copyeditor class. Exactly what I needed.

Good job and thanks to all!

Microsoft Innovation
OK, knock off the jokes about oxymorons. Today, on my daughter's 1998-vintage computer, I installed Windows 98. I had completely forgotten the pain involved with that particular task. IBM hardware, as ordinary off-the-shelf as it could be, and the install doesn't recognize the onboard video card. No Internet, and hardly any other machines in the house have a floppy. Ungh. Several hours later, I'm finished.

Today, we basically take it for granted that you just pop in an OS CD and install away. Not terribly long ago, care and feeding of a computer was an intensely geeky proposition. Only recently has it become mainstream. For Desktop Linux, the bar has been raised much, much higher. This is a good thing. -m
Lost Songs
Apparently, the Apple store does not let you redownload songs you've paid for. Despite the "FairPlay" DRM, that the tracks are only authorized to play on up to 3 computers. It would be trivial for them to allow this, but they prefer to have their customers pay again. Since you're not buying any physical media, you'd think they'd attempt to make it a little more robust.

The system seems to conspire against you. Tracks on your iPod aren't visible as files. Then when you connect your iPod to a newly-formatted Mac, it cheerfully offers to wipe all the tracks off your iPod. So there's a point there where you still have the track--could even listen to it--but have no choice but to erase it. Grr. -m
Then Again..
On the other hand, if your day job deadlines leave you completely exhausted at the end of the day, electronic notes or not, you'll tend to blog less (or at least blog in the morning, when you're still semi-conscious). -m
Superfast Search
Has anyone written a search engine that, by virtue of blinding speed, plus using a few tricks like client-side XMLHTTP, can provide preliminary results in the browser *before* the search query is submitted? -m
Your Views for Dec. 1

Difficult to get by I must strongly disagree with a statement that Brian De Lima made in an article about poverty in the Tribune-Herald on Nov.

X-CP
Here's an interesting new Internet specification. Actually, I haven't looked at it in the slightest, but it has an 'X' in the name, so it must be good. -m
Seeing XForms Inside Out
At the O'Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland, come see my presentation Seeing XForms Inside Out:: Inside an XForms Validator (Thurs July 29). Whether you're just learning about XForms, or been working with it already, you will find some interesting insights by looking at XForms from the perspective of a validation tool.

If you can make it for the full week, I also have a half-day tutorial on Monday (July 26). Check it out! -m
