Slashdot Mirror

I played around with a voice messaging service (like IM's but for voice) on an iPhone application - Nikotalkie.

It was pretty cool (but seems no longer maintained at the moment)... easy to use while driving (unlike texting) since it was simply recording quick voice recordings, no text fees, send to multiple people, etc. I would like to see more of something like this and less texting - which I've never liked typing on a keypad (or even an iPhone touch pad).

Thanks for slashdotting my poor little server on a DSL line :-)

Hey. Don't rub it in our faces that you got to see the pictures before the server flamed out.

I can really recommend the Slashdotter extension for Firefox. Among other nice functions it adds links to cached versions after all links in the summary.

Yup, the site is pretty overloaded. Coral cache to the rescue!

(Not that the site is really worth the effort...)

Site still works with the coral cache

Australia. Debateably not a third-world backwater.

(Almost) All residential DSL/Cable data services in Australia have a cap. If you are daft enough to use the defacto monopoly provider's retail services then you get a small cap, high price, and both in- and outbound data count. Until recently, their cap was 1 or 3 GB with a ridiculous per MB charge for excess...they still sell grandma and grandpa (read sucker) accounts with 200 or 400 megabyte limits. I think haemorrhaging customers to the competition, and being forced to play nice by the ACCC, is starting to change their ways.

Tomato is really a great firmware, I think it is the answer to the initial post's problem. It really has a great interface and is easy to configure, DDWRT was nothing but headaches for me, and the QOS (When I used it a year ago) was absolutely broken.

here is a guide on configuring QOS, http://www.decimation.com/markw/2007/10/03/tomato-qos-setup/

Also it has great graphs such as realtime usage (tx and rx) reports http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Image:Tomato_Firmware_-_Bandwidth_Real_Time.PNG

And I can see a graph of exactly what percent of my traffic falls into which QOS classifications. http://www.polarcloud.com.nyud.net:8080/img/ssqosg108.png

I'm able to quickly check if anyone has been abusing the wireless, and see what percentage of my traffic is bittorrent, nntp, gaming, etc, If some device on the network suddenly started flooding traffic over port 25, I would know about it, all in a nice and easy color coded graph, check it out, I bet you will like what you find.

I think they're just dropping links from /. now, because I copied the link into the address bar and the page loaded, although some of the images aren't coming up.

In any case, coral cache has the full version, images and all.

I just discovered this yesterday. It's an online circuit simulator with a number of different tutorials illustrating circuit principles and component behaviour. You can modify the sample circuits or create your own using a variety of active or passive components. Even has the ability to create "scope traces" at probe points, and shows in real time current, voltage, power, and other pertinent data for whatever you are pointing at.

It's not Spice, but it's quite functional as a learning tool.

Coral Cache seems to be loading it for me...albeit very slowly! slow cached image

Corale cache worked for me, but it seems sluggish now.

downloaded version

Lameness filter prevented me from pasting in the text.

see the cached page:
http://eaves.ca.nyud.net:8090/2008/06/18/firefox-pledge-map-pledges-as-a-of-population/

The download page finally links to version 3 instead of version 2 (for a while the graphic said 3 but the link was to 2).
An alternative is the Coral Cache copy of the new page.

Off-topic, but I find it kinda amazing that a relatively big site like this manages to embed five 2MB~ish sized images into the article.

I'm predicting a soon-to-come slashdot effect, and when it does, coral cache could come in handy...

To go right to the real or virtual article, skip all the emo in italics. I wont be offended!

A funny thing happened to me this weekend in Huntington, Long Island. Iâ(TM)d taken a commuter train there from Manhattan, to interview someone in a neighborhood thatâ(TM)s walking distance from the local railroad station. (In case youre wondering why I havent posted lately, Im really busy with other work these days. Why else would I go to Huntington?) So I was hoofing it down New York Avenue when a cabbie screeched up and offered me a ride â" for free. âoeThanks,â I said, leaning into his window. âoeBut why?â âoeBecause you have to pass the day-labor site. Thereâ(TM)s lots of men there from Central America. They yell bad words to women going by.â

Iâ(TM)m 57 years old and slowly shrinking, maybe, but people seldom mistake me for a shrinking violet. I can deal with a few catcalls and âoeMamiâ(TM)sâ (assuming my wrinkled old self could evoke them in the first place). I tried to elucidate my philosophy to the driver: Itâ(TM)s always worth a few bad words to learn about stuff â" then communicate the stuff to others.

Well lah-dee-dah, youâ(TM)re probably saying. Nice story, but whatâ(TM)s the point? Especially when the real subject of this post isChild Porn®.

So hereâ(TM)s the point. Lately, when it comes to writing about child pornography issues, I suspect Iâ(TM)ve caught Huntingtonâ(TM)s Taxi Disease from my colleagues in the journalism biz. I notice that whenever I get an urge to report on the subject, I start worrying that if I publish it, Iâ(TM)ll hear âoebad wordsâ from people from âoeCentral-Weirdo Americaâ â" people who actually like child porn. Iâ(TM)ll have to read their emails (some of which make interesting points about free speech, the fourth amendment, government repression, etc.), then decide whether or not to post them. And if I post, the journos of MSM-villeâ"my colleagues! might look askance. After all, some have already told me that they, themselves, will not write about child pornography for precisely this reason: it freaks them out to get follow-up email from the pedos.

Iâ(TM)m also afraid my colleagues will tsk-tsk about why I write about this icky subject in the first place. âoeIs she obsessed or something?â they could be thinking. Perhaps they ask why I donâ(TM)t insert boiler plate into the first paragraphs of my articles. Riffs like, âoeOf course, child porn is the most horrible thing in the world, and the people involved deserve strong punishment.â This is supposed to show everyone the writer is a normal person who does not want to hear from pedos. I try to avoid such verbiage because I think itâ(TM)s knee jerk and stupid. Besides, Iâ(TM)m extremely reluctant to close off communication with anyone. I get some of my best tips about the malfunctioning of our various civic institutions from people close to those institutions â" who are often criminals, both apprehended and as yet uncaught. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022100/">M is still one of my favorite movies.)

Here's a coral cache link for the 1st site:

Click me

The last one won't work at all

The server is bleeding bad. Less then 20 Posts and its already down. Be Kind and use the cache

I'm clicking on your link, but nothing is happening. Am I doing it wrong?

I click the link and it DOES bring up the page. Unfortunately, since it is a cached copy of the page, it is sometimes out of date. I.e., there have been updates to the actual page that are not reflected in what the Coral Cache copy displays. :/

As of this writing (Monday morning, 06/02/08), it appears that ThePlanet Datacenter folks have created a NEW STATUS PAGE to lessen the load on their servers:

• http://service-update.theplanet.com/ new status page at ThePlanet
• http://service-update.theplanet.com.nyud.net:8080/ Coral Cache link to the new status page at ThePlanet.

It's always interesting to see what they were thinking (or not thinking for that matter).

You can create the link yourself. All you need to do to coralize a link is append ".nyud.net" to the end of the hostname. For the sake of convenience, here is TFA via Coral Cache.

...the least we could do is provide a Coral Cache link to the blog entry.

Here's a Coral Cache link, just in case. ;)

Here's coral cache version, works for me fine. Link provided by slashdotter, firefox plugin.

Very minor example, but the Tomato firmware for the Linksys WRG-54L (Linux capable one) has a real nice real-time bandwidth graph in SVG. It is similar to the google analytics flash graphs, with AJAX and real time updating.

Here is a link to a screenshot of an older version. It dynamically adjusts the y axis and the new version lets you set a smoothing and update interval. It all slowly slides left as new data comes in. It is really quite awesome, and uses SVG.

So the mistake is not mine, see http://techdebug.com.nyud.net/blog/2008/04/19/wikipedia-article-creates-circular-references/ That article says: After reading this, I thought it was time to write about a something I found that backs this up. An anonymous user added information about Sacha Baron Cohen (known onscreen as Ali G.) to Wikipedia on November the 14th 2006. This entry added information about Baron Cohen working for investment bank Goldman Sachs prior to becoming famous as an actor. On November the 17th 2007 an article appeared in the Independent with the same information. The article included Baron Cohenâ(TM)s career information almost as a footnote, at the end of the article - possibly using Wikipedia as the source of his âoeGoldman Sachsâ career and other family information.

Music and entertainment just got better

Windows(R) XP has been designed from the ground up to be the best operating system for digital music and entertainment. Now it is easier than ever for you to find, organize, and play back your music and movies, listen to Internet radio, and even transfer files to your portable devices.

Windows Media(TM) Player delivers new Windows XP features such as faster audio CD burning, DVD playback (when configured with a supported third party DVD decoder), and full-screen video controls. The new My Music folder makes it fast and fun to organize your Windows Media Audio and existing MP3 music collections.

NYUD.net mirror (if it ever responds). By the way, I've seen screenshots of Amarok and it looks worse than Firefox 3's back/forward keyhole. Amarok has this big swooping curve in the menu bar like the old Quicktime app... but it's at the top of the screen and it looks completely out of place. Firefox 3 keyhole is another ugly default. I could never hit the back button in Firefox 1 or 2 but now with Firefox 3s extra 10 pixels the world it's so much easier... no more dead-ends on the web for me!

But here's the coral cache link to save their server...
