Magalia woman jailed in church burglary

A Magalia woman was arrested and taken to the Butte County Jail Friday in connection with a burglary at Skyway Assembly of God in Paradise.

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
Reviewers needed
I'm writing a chapter for an upcoming book, _XML Hacks_. If you're interested in reviewing a whirlwind tour of XForms, mail me.

The objectives here are:
(1) introduce the concepts clearly
(2) demonstrate it in a way the the reader can easily duplicate
(3) reference all resources
(4) do it in roughly 2 to 5 printed pages.

Interesting slide from Mozilla devdays:
here.

Bullet item - Support more standards: SVG, XForms; MNG subset?
- sub bullet -As extensions at first, by default if low overhead

InfoPath Service Pack 1
It's beta, but it's here. Will check out soon.

Media coverage with a too-cute headline. The article is pretty blunt in places: "Analysts see InfoPath as part of Microsoft's strategy for locking businesses in to Microsoft enterprise products." Huh. -m
Death Notices May 8,2012

Posting Frequency
Notice I've been posting more lately? I have. At the day job, I've switched to an online note format (plain text + jEdit is an amazing combination).

It's probably not a coincidence that getting into the habit of posting your thoughts online carries over to the off hours. -m
Newsflash
I've been nominated for an InfoWorld Innovators Award. More details here later. The results will be announced here on May 24. -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
Everything Must Go!
Here's an interesting project that ties in nicely with my recent reading of Text Processing in Python: markdown, a plain-text-ish format for writing.

I just used David Mertz's format in writing a Hack for _XML Hacks_, and I have to admit it was far easier than skipping over the tags, or even the rather good attempt at tagless-WYSIWYG-XML-editing I got from Morphon.

My initial comments:

Paragraphs should be allowed to be uniformly indented a few spaces. Like code, most text is read far more often than written, and every little bit of extra readablility helps.

The inline link syntax -- This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link. -- doesn't seem natural. It's not the kind of thing you'd see in use anywhere. (The out-of-line links, however, are very slick) The image syntax is even less so -- 

For the image case, I'd take a hint from TPIP and use keywords (which are only recognized at the start of a line) in these cases
IMAGE: [alt text] "Optional title"

Hard drive corruption on OS X?
For the 2nd time in two months, my hard drive has been corrupted beyond what fsck/Disk Utility/DiskWarrior can repair. Even the TechTool software that comes with the AppleCare package reported "Surface Scan Failed" and "Volume Structure Failed". If anyone else has seen this, please send me mail.

Specifically, 1) is this a sign of an impending catastrophic hard drive failure? 2) Are there any utilities that can provide a definitive report that the Apple technicians will take as a "replace that hard drive now" situation? Or am I being overly-paranoid again?

The friendly Apple guys reformatted my hard drive, which made the errors go away (for the time being). So, what's up?

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
Errata the Night Away
All the formerly scattered errata for _XForms Essentials_ are now collected at the official publisher's page. If you spot more report away! -m
