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
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
Newsflash
I've been nominated for an InfoWorld Innovators Award. More details here later. The results will be announced here on May 24. -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

Pair of music festivals win supervisors' approval

A pair of music festivals - one that has been held for years but never sought a permit and one newcomer - both won approval today from the Butte County Board of Supervisors.

Supervisors to conduct hearings on festivals

The first of the two, the "Wild Mountain Faire," is scheduled to run from June 29 to July 1, on 77.5 acres of land, west of Concow Road, directly across from Ishi Trail, at the Lake Concow Campground.

DreamHost
Cool, an Orkut community for DreamHost. A great, SCO-free Linux Debian host, if I do say so. -m
Scholarship rummage sale set for April 14

Everyone is invited to hunt for treasure at the AAUW's annual scholarship rummage sale from 7 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, April 14, in Hawaiian Paradise Park.

Congrats to Eric Meyer
On the forthcoming CSS book, 2nd edition. Another thing for the reading queue. -m
Editorial: Teeter best pick for supervisor

Our view: Doug Teeter has been doing his homework, studying to become the ridge's next supervisor for more than a year.

Search
I've been particularly inspired lately by the problem of Search. Between the new employer, and reports of one-man search companies and reports of completely new technologies, this is getting to be quite an interesting space.

Which happens to mesh with my gradual project the last few months--converting all my stored information into good old UTF-8 plain text. The nexus of all these things is David Mertz's book Text Processing in Python, which references his excellent public domain text indexer code.

It wouldn't take much to convert my whole blog over to this system. Hmm. -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
