Former G-Unit songstress Olivia has announced that she has a deal in the works to have her own television show on VH1 later this year.
The singer also said that she's in the midst of a bidding war with several record labels.
"I can't give you no scoop, but right now it's four labels vying for my attention," she said in an interview. "I got a lot big things in the works and I haven't touched on my Vh1 show. I can't talk too much about that, but the girl will be on fire this summer. I'm about to be shutting a lot of people down, I'm excited. I just gave you the best insight, I told you it was on Vh1. [Laughs] You probably thought I was going to be on the Food Network channel or something. Nah, I can't tell you [more details than] that, I'm under contract. [Laughs]" (Hip Hop DX)
Rapper/Actor Master P previously spoke with SOHH about taking his "No Excuses" television project to VH1 last year.
"Well, the thing about it is, I was able to do this in conjunction with Better Black TV, so VH1 wanted to do something different, the president of the company was real eager, he wanted to do something different and that made a difference in people's lives," P explained. "The people I worked with they felt this would be a good fit. I'm always doing stuff that's out of the box and this is a show you wouldn't normally see on a network like VH1. I think I will change the game with this show to where VH1 audience will start looking at it and saying 'Wow, okay, these guys have other options to offer, this is new.' You ain't expecting to see a show like this on VH1. With the economy, I think people want better and I think with VH1, they want better, I think it was a great opportunity for both of us and it was a great opportunity for me to co-brand my television network so it's the best of both worlds." (SOHH)
Incarcerated rapper DMX is reportedly being sought to appear on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" series.
DMX's attorney, Gary Jenkins, tells TMZ reps for "Rehab" contacted him after X was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly violating his probation by using drugs. Jenkins says the "Rehab" team is considering sending someone to DMX's next court hearing to speak with the judge — just like Dr. Drew did with Jessica Sierra from "American Idol" — to try and get X placed in their care instead of being locked up. (TMZ)
Last week, Olivia talked with SOHH about signing with Rich Dollaz's management.
"He's a character" Olivia told SOHH with a smile. "I love Rich, I'm glad we teamed up. We probably met, I wanna say six or seven months ago. And it feels like I've known him my whole life. So it's a great connection with the both of us, we work very well, I don't have to tell him what I need done, like, he'll call me and be on top of it all the time with like interviews and whatever. Most managers don't talk to their artists on a daily basis and he does that, which is really good." (SOHH)

Northborough, Ma...
i made this white dress shirt for my husband from mccalls 6044. while the pattern as is lacks many details you find in the RTW standard, the overall fit is good so i have drafted the pieces necessary to make it look like a "real" shirt. this is my second version (the first was a casual plaid shirt, posted here) and since this one is for business wear i added collar-stay channels. the neck on the first shirt was a little snug so i widened it by about 5/8"; i also shortened the sleeve by 1/2". the other change i made was to extend the front of the shirt so i could sew the placket on at the edge, then turn the seam allowance and topstitch it from the front.
at a certain point, i think this stops being a mccalls shirt and starts to be my own. it's definitely a learning process! more info on my blog: notes from a mad hosewife

Alex Muller 2014-06-06T21:02:08+01:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/ Alex Muller email@example.com Performance Platform dashboard admin 2014-06-06T19:30:00+01:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2014/06/performance-platform-dashboard-admin
After releasing about a hundred dashboards in the last couple of weeks, members of the product team I'm part of at the Government Digital Service each spent a week prototyping standalone projects that we thought would be of use to the Performance Platform. Tom and I created a basic interface for administering dashboards.

We only had a week so we didn't want to spend time thinking about where it would be hosted or how authentication could work, so we created a Node.js app that non-technical members of our team can download and run locally.

We ended up with an application that uses a GitHub repository to store our configuration and does file modification, committing, pushing, pulling and deploying through a browser. It's hacky but it does exactly what we need it to do. SSH handles authentication in the background and GitHub provides us with a lovely interface for a history of who, what and when things changed.

Hopefully this marks the end of Matt having to write out text changes into Pivotal Tracker stories just to wait for a developer to copy and paste them into an editor and push a commit.

I'm really happy with what we achieved in 5 days. The Performance Platform dashboard admin app is on GitHub, as is the config repository. I'm looking forward to approaching this project slowly and carefully now that we've got a good idea of the direction it should go in.
  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2014/06/performance-platform-dashboard-admin/ Starting at the Government Digital Service 2013-10-27T12:30:00+00:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2013/10/starting-at-gds
Aside from the fact that the day-to-day work is interesting and challenging and the people are fantastic, there are a few things that particularly stick out to me as brilliant about GDS.

Second line support

This seems quite polarising for developers, but I love it. Each week a different developer pairs with somebody from the operations team to spend a week improving infrastructure and responding to any production alerts and issues. I finished my first rotation on second line as part of the operations team about a month ago.

It's such a great learning experience. You learn a load about the GOV.UK infrastructure, as well as an awful lot about hosting, monitoring and deployment. It's also a great way to work with people outside your normal team on a short-term basis.

It's all out in the open

Almost every line of code that technically can be is hosted at www.github.com/alphagov (obviously the passwords, keys and other fun stuff is elsewhere). British taxes pay for the lights to stay on, so it's only right that the public can see what GDS is up to as much as possible. As with everything on this site, that's my opinion and it may or may not be shared by GDS. You'd have to ask someone who's allowed to speak on behalf of the Cabinet Office.

In my team (I work on the Performance Platform), we're making data about transactional services available for service managers (the people who run, for example, the passport application process as part of HM Passport Office). But it's a nice side effect that the data is there, online, for everyone to see. The same thought process as for the code applies: you're paying for those transactions to take place. You should be able to see how they're performing.

Informally we work off the idea that for every page we build, you should be able to pull the data out yourself. For the Licensing "Form submissions" graph, the JSON's available. It's not documented (yet), but you can use developer tools in the browser to view the AJAX requests.

Once more: all my opinion, possibly (but definitely not necessarily) shared by GDS. I might turn up to work on Monday and find out it's all changing.

Fixing broken windows

James mentioned the broken windows theory after I made a change to one of our internal apps recently. When I wrote about a company's tools in April, that theory was exactly what I was getting at - I just didn't know it had a name. If you make it easy to fix problems, as GDS does by giving all staff the ability to push changes to almost every repository, the state of the code and the community constantly improves. I love tinkering with little bits and pieces that keep things running along smoothly, and internal apps are a great place to do that.

The Service Manual is another great example. Because it's so easy to fix typos and reword badly written sentences, I've committed to it far more than I would have expected. And that's mostly because I can do it in a couple of minutes when I'm bored. And even better than that, making the repository public means that a load of people from outside government have submitted fixes too.

GDS isn't perfect by any means, but the good outweighs the not-so-good by an absolutely huge margin.

The tenth design principle says it all:

Make things open: it makes things better

  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2013/10/starting-at-gds/ Internal Tools and Infrastructure 2013-04-30T18:30:00+01:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2013/04/internal-tools-and-infrastructure
At everywhere I've worked so far I've been disappointed by the tools available to employees to help them do their jobs better; put simply, I think every company I've been a part of could have benefitted immensely from a simple MediaWiki install.

Obviously I'm aware that the lack of such a setup stems from a people problem rather than a technical one, but it needn't be a people problem. If there's an argument that can be made against the following setup, I would love to hear it:

Install a wiki with text-based markup and an obvious, attributable change log. Everyone who gets an email address with your company gets an account.

The front page can only be edited by people who manage internal company communications. It should link to other important parts of the wiki.

Official policies and company documents can only be edited by a very limited number of people.

Everything else is a free-for-all, open to edit.

To pick on MediaWiki specifically: it is so good at handling all this kind of stuff, with a visible history with each change attributed to users. I've never come across an employee both malicious and stupid enough to bother messing with this theoretical open wiki and doubt I ever will. And if such a person did exist, they should be handled exactly as though they'd scribbled on the walls.

This is so appealing to me because I'm the kind of person who loves to read things. I really enjoy poking through obscure documentation, and if I have the ability to fix a typo easily, I'll do it. On Wikipedia you might describe that kind of person as a WikiGnome. People should be encouraged to edit and to make a mess, because for every well meaning employee who adds something useful with bad syntax, there's somebody like me who will make it neat. Win-win.

This isn't a technical problem. The software exists, and it's really good. And it shouldn't be a people problem either.

At this point, I'm probably just rehashing things that people smarter than me have said before. If I was creating a company I intended to grow from scratch, here's how I'd start:

A MediaWiki install as detailed above.

Internal services for employees have sane domain names with one internal TLD: http://calendar.muller/, http://wiki.muller/, http://mail.muller/, etc

Have an external domain that points to the same place, but only for services you want available externally: http://wiki.muller-network.com/.

No, your department doesn't get to buy a domain name, hire a designer/developer and host a WordPress site just to show the rest of the company how great you are. Use the wiki.

Have well publicised places for employees to help you run your company better (Running a news site? Can Finance employees easily report typos? Why not?!).

A more concrete example

When I've got a few minutes in between work here I might pop on to The Times site, see what's going on and find an article that takes my fancy to skim.

I did that the other day and found a pretty bad typo in an article, a remnant of an editor suggesting a text change that somehow made it through the CMS (part of the article text read "<NO1>10<NO>ten-month [sic]"). What were my options at that point?

Email it to… someone. The editor? The digital editor? The article author? Seems like a little bit of overkill to compose an email for a typo and send it to people I don't know.

Leave a comment on the article, or do something else that any "normal" user could.

Why is there no third option? Why is there no issue tracker for employees to report problems, especially public-facing problems that make the company look less impressive at its core job?

I'm not picking on The Times or The Sun here, just using them as an example I'm familiar with: I've never seen this done well anywhere, but would love to hear about examples.

And if there are any good resources about internal tools and infrastructure (perhaps even long-form articles or books?), I'd love to hear about them.
  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2013/04/internal-tools-and-infrastructure/ On The Lab's blog: Designing for Receipt Printers 2012-12-03T19:20:00+00:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/12/link-newsint-receipt-printers
I wrote a bit for the office blog about our work writing HTML and CSS that ends up printed on a bit of paper a couple of inches wide:

For web developers, there's no real technical challenge in the front-end side of creating a publication; it's all HTML and CSS with nothing to think about other than how WebKit will render your page in black and white. But this lack of difficulty is more than made up for with the tough constraints imposed by the media and the size it'll be printed at. The printable area is less than 400 pixels wide and just 800 tall to avoid the unpleasant surprise of waking up to a publication five metres long trailing across the floor. Berg's guidelines recommend that text should be sized no smaller than 20px (and they're dead on), but with letters so large and paper so small there isn't room to say much.

Designing for Receipt Printers (December 2012, News International R&D)

I love the way that our blog looks and works. It's an Octopress-based static site. Bel created designs that look awesome, and David and I set the thing up.
  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/12/link-newsint-receipt-printers/ Pirate Party UK 2012-11-01T14:50:00+00:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/11/pirate-party-uk
(I originally wrote this article in about May of this year, when the news stories mentioned were current.)

2012 is the year I joined my first political party. After a bit of back-and-forth with my elected Member of Parliament (Conservative Mary Macleod) in which we discussed the CCDP, the High Court ruling against The Pirate Bay and Claire Perry's dangerous crusade to censor the web, I wrote this to her:

The Internet is being legislated by people who do not understand it. I have not seen a single elected figure take any of the issues of digital civil liberties seriously, and as a result I am incredibly disheartened with the state of UK politics. As a twenty-one year old I find that quite sad and I hope you do too.

I remember being on holiday in April two years ago, in a game camp in the middle of South Africa, using a phone and a local SIM card to read about the Digital Economy Bill vote on Twitter. I can still remember feeling entirely powerless, and the same's happening now with the three topics I mentioned to my MP – different Government elected, same mistakes being made.

I wrote her that message two days before the local elections on the 4th of May and was hoping for a little more of a reply than I actually ended up receiving; her assistant simply noted that my concerns would be forwarded to Ed Vaizey, who holds the title of "Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries". While waiting for London Elects to announce the results of the election for Mayor of London I (re)stumbled across the Pirate Party's site (led there, I think, by their Pirate Bay mirror). For whatever reason I had never before realised that their thinking was so aligned with mine.

I wish they weren't called the Pirate Party. It's not going to do them a single damn favour as awareness of them becomes more widespread. But having just one more MP who can talk sense about all things digital in the House of Commons (alongside Tom Watson) would be hugely beneficial for the UK.

Politics has made me feel nothing but frustration and disappointment for the last couple of years. I've finally realised that (much like every aspect of life) it'll be far more productive to stop thinking negatively and put that energy into contributing to a political party that has sensible policies relating to issues I feel are the most important. Call me naïve, but I hope that the next general election will see the vote spread far more evenly across large and small parties, and the Pirate Party should be a piece of that.

That paragraph contains a phrase it feels like it's taken me too long to realise. Sensible policies about issues I think are important. Bad legislation will continue to magically appear unless people who understand the issues involved make sure they're vocal about the politicians who are doing it right.

I've mentioned to a few friends recently that I'm constantly surprised by how few young people are interested in the technical side of creating things for the web; a tiny minority of the population want to learn what HTML is, let alone anything more involved than that. Given how widespread the web is today and that it's only going to grow, I'd expect far more enthusiasm for web development. That same idea applies equally to digital legislation, but perhaps attitudes will change as those who have grown up with access to a computer start being elected.

If you're interested in The Pirate Party, have a flick through their 2012 manifesto which has recently been approved by members.
  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/11/pirate-party-uk/ Twitter, Tweet Nest and the Data Protection Act 2012-08-17T10:50:00+01:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/08/twitter-tweet-nest-dpa
I've had a copy of Tweet Nest running since the end of 2010, pulling in a copy of my latest tweets twice a day.

Unfortunately, as the nerds out there might be aware, Twitter allow access to just your most recent 3200 tweets online. The only way to get a copy of your older tweets is to send them a request under the Data Protection Act 1998. Folks elsewhere in the EU should have similar legislation to help them, but I'm not sure about other countries. To their credit, Twitter complied with the request fully (as far as I can tell) and without making it too painful for me (depending on how painful you consider having to send a fax).

Here's the first twenty lines of the alexmuller-tweets.txt file they sent:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 // Generated on: 2012-08-07 22:54:50 GMT+00:00 ******************** user_id: 8645442 created_at: Tue Sep 04 14:02:10 +0000 2007 created_via: web status_id: 246512472 text: Waiting for the Genius Bar ******************** user_id: 8645442 created_at: Tue Sep 04 16:47:24 +0000 2007 created_via: sms status_id: 246822322 text: And I think my phone works... ********************

While it was good of them to supply so much information, there was really only one thing I was interested in: the list of status_ids of all my tweets. Twitter provide the tweet text as part of this request, but strip other interesting metadata such as location and source.

With that, I used a rubbish bit of Python (with tweepy) to pull every bit of JSON I could out of the Twitter API and save it to a file:

import tweepy import json import time import datetime # I found this somewhere online. Add a .json attribute to just get the raw JSON. @classmethod def parse(cls, api, raw): status = cls.first_parse(api, raw) setattr(status, 'json', json.dumps(raw)) return status tweepy.models.Status.first_parse = tweepy.models.Status.parse tweepy.models.Status.parse = parse username = "YOUR_USERNAME" password = "YOUR_PASSWORD" auth = tweepy.auth.BasicAuthHandler(username, password) api = tweepy.API(auth) myfile = open('list_of_ids_to_grab.txt', 'r') # this is a list of tweet IDs jsoncontents = open('tweets.json', 'a') # blank file i = 1 for line in myfile.readlines(): print i print datetime.datetime.now() line = line.strip() print line status = tweepy.api.get_status(line) print status.json time.sleep(25) # 150 an hour donetweets = open('done_tweets.txt', 'a') # blank file donetweets.write(line + "\n") donetweets.close() jsoncontents.write(status.json + "\n") i += 1

WARNING: this code is so wonderfully breakable that it will probably set your machine on fire. You've been warned.

Basic auth calls are limited to 150 an hour, so I left this running overnight to complete. With the result, you can easily turn it into an array (wrap it in [] and add commas to each line, also known as the poor man's way to code) and then use Bryan Veloso's beautiful script to import it into Tweet Nest. It's worth importing your older tweets first before setting up a repetitive job to pull in new ones, or else you'll have to do some MySQL funkery that I can explain in more detail if you need (yell on Twitter).

This script highlights a problem that Twitter mentioned again last night: basic auth will not work for much longer. This is a huge issue for Tweet Nest too, as it doesn't use OAuth. I'm going to (attempt to) add OAuth support to it in the near future.

While you're here, let's have a quick look at what else they returned from the DPA request. Apart from the normal stuff you shouldn't be shocked to know Twitter have access to (direct messages, favourites, followers and following), these two things were surprising, though not massively so, to me:

A list of all the phone numbers and email addresses that were stored on my phone when I first ran the official Twitter iPhone app (1222 in total).

A list of every IP address that has accessed my account for the last four months (it's fairly standard practice to store this).

For what it's worth, I agree entirely with David Singleton, who tweeted:

In case it wasn't clear, I'm pretty worried about the twitter changes too. I suspect many of them won't be enforced, but still, dangerous.

No matter how much you trust Twitter, it would be prudent to store a copy of your own data.
  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/08/twitter-tweet-nest-dpa/ Mid-2012 tech priorities 2012-08-05T08:05:00+01:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/08/mid-2012-tech-priorities
A quick update on how I'm feeling about technology and computer stuff, and where my priorities are at the moment.

Security and ownership of data

Pretty much every password I use now is unique, and the ones that aren't will be soon. I only know a couple of them from memory, and most of the important ones are over twenty characters. 1Password is still a dream come true. Password leak after leak has meant I don't trust anyone online any more (and probably never should have).

I've changed the MX records (email provider) for this domain away from Google Apps and over to FastMail.FM. I'll register new accounts with this domain rather than my @gmail.com address, and will move important services over gradually. I'm no longer comfortable with Google providing such an essential service for free. I pay O2 in excess of £30 monthly for a phone; why on earth was I holding out over £2.50 a month for email, which is arguably way more important?

Dropbox is no longer my go-to place to shove everything into. Instead, I'll be even more anal about backup, soon setting up Crashplan to backup in an encrypted fashion to a drive at (my parents') home. This'll be more useful when it's actually an off-site backup.

For services that store data on my behalf, I've become a bit crazy about maintaining my own copy of that data. This includes keeping a copy of my Oyster card history using Mollusc, and sending Twitter a request under the Data Protection Act so that I can get a copy of my first three thousand tweets (they'll be imported into Tweetnest soon).

Portability of data and striving to be lightweight

Much to Adam's amusement, I fear, I've become a bit militant about the idea that web servers should serve HTML files whenever possible. To that end, this blog is now using Jekyll to generate HTML files that are transferred from my computer using rsync. I was rather shocked to see just how slow WordPress is:

Nothing's changed with regards to what I wrote about links; I've tried to keep everything intact, and I think I've done pretty well. Old posts look old. I still like that a lot.

Reading

The iPad's no good for long reading for me, even with the Instapaper or Kindle apps. Instead, I bought a (non-touch) Kindle from Amazon for my new commute and set up Instapaper articles to be delivered wirelessly each week. It's incredible. The weight and the screen together make it a great reading experience on the Tube.

Money and graphs

I finally got serious about boring grown-up stuff like dealing with money. GnuCash is an excellent app, and I wish I'd been using it for years. I spend way too much on food. This is yet another example of how right Etsy are when they get shouty about measuring everything. Graphing expenses isn't the most exciting thing in the world, but is so, so useful. For me personally, I find it so much easier to improve something if I can see it changing over time. A single GnuCash database that I can update both at my laptop and on an iPhone doesn't seem possible today, but that's the ideal end goal.

Later this year, I want to start graphing some of the data that's generated by the house I live in. Andy Stanford-Clark gave a talk in York about some of his home monitoring kit and it's got me a bit excited (his TEDx talk is very similar). There are hugely practical uses, like figuring out where in your house the majority of your electricity bill comes from so that you can do something about it.

And that's where I am right now

A bit of a mishmash of stuff. This is just what's important to me this month, a bit of a State of the Union brain fart.
  http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/08/mid-2012-tech-priorities/ Constrained optimisation to allocate modules at York 2012-03-26T21:05:20+01:00 http://alex.mullr.net/blog/2012/03/constrained-optimisation-allocate-modules-york
A week ago today I handed in my final-year project in Computer Science (the infamous dissertation that the fine people of Twitter are completely bored of hearing me talk about). Like most in the department, mine consisted of about 20,000 words over seventy pages and a ten minute presentation describing the work I'd been doing for the last year or so. According to the staff involved, a University software project implemented by a student was something that had never been tried before, and as I had such a fun time doing it I thought I'd write a bit here. The aim was to create software that allocates students to modules.

The project had two fairly distinct halves: a web interface to let students express their preferences for optional modules, and a bit of software to take that input and do the allocation. The end result had to satisfy constraints from the departments (e.g. a class can't have more than x students), while also trying to keep students as happy as possible - it's a constrained optimisation problem. The more I think about it, this project could not have been any more perfect for me; half web stuff, half maths. Lovely.

The web development side of things was nothing too outrageously challenging. A lot of research and testing with staff and students to make sure it was as easy to use as possible, though the end product is just a jQuery sortable implementation. Those of you who have used the YUSU site to vote during elections will recognise that this software goes for the same mental model. Students in the Departments of History and Archaeology noticed that too, which was wonderful. Here's a bit of video of one of the earlier functional prototypes (on an iPad, because iPads make everything cooler) - please excuse the music:

The constrained optimisation and linear programming stuff was where it started to get really interesting from a computer science point of view. The first I'd heard of CO was in about May last year, so having an expert supervisor was more than a little helpful. We used a solver (in this case Gurobi) to save a whole load of work on the implementation, and I'm shocked by how powerful it is. It's got wonderful interfaces for several languages and is completely free for academic use! Linear programming and all that related gunk is such a huge field that if you try hard enough I bet you'll be able to think of somewhere you could use it.

Once it was all set up, it's just a case of creating a ton of (binary) variables, defining the objective function (what the solver should try to achieve), loading in the constraints and hitting the big red button. This system used the following:

Binary variables: one for every possible allocation (an allocation is a student, module pair), set to 1 if the student is allocated the module or 0 otherwise.

Objective function: a linear function that can be maximised or minimised by the solver. I chose to include every binary variable with a coefficient indicating the "goodness" of that allocation, which is based on the rank the student gave.

Constraints: each class had a maximum and minimum size, and each student had to take the required number of classes.

We're talking about painfully simple code to interact with Gurobi, too. Here's a bit of it in Python:

from gurobipy import * model = Model("modalloc") # new Gurobi model gurobivar = model.addVar(vtype=GRB.BINARY, name=student+"_"+module) # new binary var model.update() objfn = LinExpr() # objective function objfn.addTerms(rank_coeff[ranks[(student, module)]], gurobimavs[student][module]) model.addConstr(num_students <= modules[module]['max'], "classmax") # constraint model.optimize()

(There's a slightly more fully-featured gist available, if you're that way inclined…)

35 days until actual students start using my software. 50 days until the dissertation is due. 97 days until I finish at York. Gulp?

I think what I love most about this software is that it's a great example of a nice modular web project: none of the parts by themselves are horrendously complex, but they come together to make a system that actually solved a problem - code I wrote was used by 800 students in two departments, and the data it generated is now stored in the central student database. All my fingers are crossed that IT Services in York will be able to take the code on, spruce it up a little and offer it to many more departments next year. The report's on GitHub, but private at the moment. I'll make it public once it's marked if I'm able to.

Final-year project: simultaneously the best, worst, scariest and fun (academic) thing I've ever done.

Jeremy Keith recently huffduffed a conversation about digital preservation. It revolves around the creation of archiving software that will hopefully help reduce the impact of link rot on the web.

(That conversation is interesting, and you should definitely have a listen. What follows is only tangentially related.)

This audio got me thinking about something that had always niggled at me in the past: the BBC not updating old article styles when they change the appearance of BBC News. Take, for example, what must be one of the most viewed BBC News articles of all time: "US rocked by terror attacks", published on Tuesday 11 September 2001.

The BBC News site has gone through a thousand and one different looks over the last ten years (most of which spent a few weeks receiving hateful comments), but that article still looks exactly as it did on the day it was published. Contrast that with similar articles dated 2001 from The Guardian, Wired and The New York Times, and you can see they all match the current look of the site they're a part of.

What the BBC are doing had always bothered me subconsciously, and now something's changed. I'm not sure if it's the audio that Jeremy posted which has swayed me, but suddenly I find myself really liking what the BBC are doing. I love that that article is still at exactly the same URL it was when it was published. I love that the source is filled with
s, <map>s and s. And I love that the whole thing is 600 pixels wide.

It's a piece of history. Even though the BBC have been criticised by many for taking historical content offline (including Jeremy, who hosts a sample of that content), I hadn't realised how much I appreciate everything they put into BBC News.

I'm going to try my best to do the same with everything I publish:

URLs that never change.

Individual articles that look exactly as they did when they were published.

The first will be a challenge, since I'm already falling out of love with this domain name.

As to the second, I've made a start using the Custom Post Template plugin for WordPress. My post on York a year before I arrived here (reading that again is so odd) looks almost exactly as it did when it was first posted. (Yorkies: the Louis mentioned in that post is Louis Rose.)

And if I move away from WordPress in the future, it should be relatively easy to just keep shuffling the plain old HTML around so that everything keeps looking the same.

Most of all, I love that that York post now looks as old as it is. It was written by a sixteen-year-old in 2007, and it should look like it was designed by one too.

I think online identity is too important to lots of people and companies for them to be ok with keeping old content and layouts unadulterated. And what are you meant to do with entry portals that need to be updated with current information?

As a user though, it would be lovely to have a wikipedia-esque revision history for every page ever. Consider signing up for pinboard's archival service. When you bookmark something, the page gets saved in its current state. It's like the wayback machine, except you have control over when an archiving happens and it's completely searchable.

Is it just the root of my server that looks a bit like this? With the upcoming launch of Twitter's analytics service for website owners (which will presumably require some kind of verification), I was wondering:

Why isn't there a standard, similar to robots.txt, for verifying that you own a domain? verification.txt?

This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/658,284 filed Sep. 10, 2003 now abandoned, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/454,600 filed Mar. 17, 2003, entitled Stock Shelving System.
This invention relates to the field of shelving generally and in particular to an adjustable slide-out shelving system for retail stores having high stock turnover such as retail grocery stores, pharmacies and the like.
In retail stores, 80% of the product is sold from 20% of the store. For example, a store with ten aisles will have two of those aisles producing 80% of the store total sales. These sections are known as high traffic areas. Because 80% of the stores' sales originate from the high traffic area, 80% of the stocking costs are spent replenishing 20% of the store. With any business, inventory control is a key ingredient in deriving profits from operations. Pharmacies and other retailers of consumable products must ensure that their inventory is properly rotated (old inventory sold before new inventory) each time the shelf is stocked.
Conventional shelving units seen in the retail market typically comprise a flat board used as a shelf, brackets with tangs, and vertical supports or standards. The bracket tangs are inserted into slots in the vertical supports, and the flat board typically rests on these brackets. Conventional standards are manufactured by Lozier� (see
It is one object of the present invention to provide for the interchangeability of shelves and tangs with standards regardless of the spacing of the standards or the location of the apertures or slots in the standards.
The shelving system of the present invention provides an adjustable slide-out shelf for shopkeepers so as to improve the ergonomics of the restocking process, reduce labour and time, and to provide for easier inventory counts, and better quality control. These combined advantages reduce operating costs.
The adjustable slide-out stock shelving system of the present invention makes the re-stocking process more efficient by removing the step of having to take the old product off the conventional fixed shelf and placing it on the floor, only to have to return it back onto the shelf once the new product is loaded onto the rear of the shelf. This also potentially reduces the amount of bending a worker has to perform. By eliminating the stage of having to put the old product on the floor and then putting it back after unpacking and placing the new product on the shelf, the shelving system of the present invention speeds up this otherwise laborious process.
The shelving system of the present invention mounts to existing shelving standards, saving the cost of a full replacement of both shelves and standards.
The present invention is both a novel hardware system for retrofitting slide-out shelves onto existing standards, and for improved modular shelf construction, and is also a novel method. The method of the present invention is for installing and operating selectively extendable and retractable pullout shelves constructed according to the present invention. Each of the shelves may include:
Further advantageously the pullout shelves of the present invention are mountable to the shelving standard in closely spaced array, side-by-side between adjacent standards.
In summary the present invention according to one aspect is a shelving system for mounting to at least one pair of parallel, substantially vertical, laterally spaced apart shelving standards, where the standards are laterally spaced apart a first distance. The system includes:
A selectively actuable actuator such as a threaded member including a shaft or bolt may be provided which is mountable to each pair of vertically spaced keys for selectively engaging and tightening each opposed facing pair of tangs onto the corresponding standard when each pair of keys are mounted thereto. The actuator tightens the tangs into snug mating engagement in the corresponding slots in the standard and thereby increases the rigidity of the hooked mating of the tangs into the slots in the standards. In one embodiment the actuator includes a threaded member rotatably journalled through corresponding pairs of bores in the vertically spaced pairs of keys so that one key of each pair is threadably mounted to the threaded member where the elongate member is threadably mounted to that key by engaging threads in the corresponding bore for sliding translation of the threaded member relative to the key. The other key in each pair of keys may be rigidly mounted to the end of the mounting bracket and the threaded-bore key slidably mounted to the end of the mounting bracket so that turning the threaded member causes adjustment of the spacing between the upper and lower keys in each pair of keys.
The shelf may include modularly interlocking shelf members which are releasably mountable to one another. Thus a shelf depth perpendicular to the first length may be adjusted by removing or installing the shelf members from or onto the shelf respectively. The shelf members may also include a front member mountable at a distal end of the each pair of rigid bracket arms, distal to opposite ends of the each pair of rigid bracket arms mountable to the corresponding keys. The front member may include electronic merchandising means mounted within the front member.
In a further aspect, the method according to the present invention of mounting a shelving system according to the present invention includes the steps of:
The method may also include the steps of:
The method may also include the step of providing flanges mounted to forward and/or rear edges of the shelf, where each flange extends vertically upwards.
The shelving system of the present invention streamlines the re-stocking process into five steps which follow onto how the stock on a shelf is typically left by consumers taking product from the shelf:
With reference to the drawings wherein similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in each view, the shelving system of the present invention includes one or more laterally translatable shelves 10. Herein, lateral translation refers to pulling out or pushing in a shelf on its slides and longitudinal refers to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shelf. The shelves may be retro-fitted for mounting to a spaced apart pair of generally vertical and parallel standards. The shelves slide in and out between a pair of mounting brackets 14 supporting the shelf. Brackets 14 are cantilevered from the pair of standards. The sliding in and out of the shelves facilitates re-stocking of shelves 10 as old product on shelves 10 may be moved frontwards and new product placed rearwards on the shelves without necessitating the prior removal of old product from the shelves.
Each shelf 10 lies horizontally flat between the corresponding pair of mounting brackets 14. Mounting brackets 14 are mounted to a corresponding pair of drawer slides 16. Slides 16 are mounted under the oppositely disposed ends of shelf 10. Brackets 14 themselves mount to conventional shelving standards 12 by the use of a pair of keys 22. Keys 22 mate with apertures or slots 18 wherein elongate, T-shaped etc. (herein collectively referred to as slots) in standards 12. At least one of the slides 16 is adjustably mounted to the underside of shelf 10, for example by the use of bolts (not shown) engaging slots 24 a in longitudinally extending beams 24 mounted under and along so as to support shelf 10 when under load. Slots 24 a allow for the selective adjustment of the spacing between the pair of mounting brackets and corresponding pair of slides on opposite lateral ends of each shelf 10. Thus the spacing may be adjusted for different spacing between different pairs of standards 12, and allows for a retro-fit mating of shelves 10 onto pre-existing shelving standards 20 where the standard uprights have apertures or slots into which the key tangs 22 a of keys 22 mate.
Keeping in mind that it is one object of the present invention to provide a single mounting bracket, slide and shelf design to provide a universal fit for existing standards such as found in conventional retail outlets, the sliding shelf must be capable of bearing a relatively heavy load when pulled outwardly on the slides so as to be fully cantilevered from the standards, without harming the standards due to the load. In particular, the bending moment applied to the standard at the adjacent end of the mounting bracket cannot be so great as to deform or tear the metal of the standard. If in one example the retail establishment is a grocery store, it would not be unusual to find one pound items such as a four hundred fifty gram container of sour cream, stacked four high, five deep, and ten wide, that is, ten along the length of shelf 10. These two hundred containers would thus weigh approximately two hundred pounds centered over shelf 10. Presuming that the product is being routinely faced against the forward edge of shelf 10 after product has been removed by consumers from the shelf, the center of gravity of the remaining product taken as a whole shifts from the longitudinal centreline of the shelf towards the forward edge. Thus if the center of gravity of product on shelf 10, when fully extended on slides 16, is cantilevered approximately two feet from standard 12, then when loaded with an evenly distributed two hundred pounds, the mounting brackets will exert a moment of approximately four hundred foot-pounds on standards 12, evenly distributed between the pair of mounting brackets, where the mounting brackets mate onto the corresponding pair of standards.
As described above, keys 22 are mounted to the end of mounting brackets 14 adjacent standards 12 so as to engage tangs 22 a extending from keys 22, into mating engagement in slots 18 in standards 12. Because it is desirable to have a single key and tang design fit most if not all existing standards, and in particular so that tangs 22 a fit into most if not all existing slots 18 in those standards, tang 22 a can be no larger than the smallest of slots 18. Thus for example if the height of slots 18 in the Hussman� standard of
An upper key block and a lower key slide are mounted onto each mounting bracket 14. A vertically aligned pair of keys 22 are rigidly mounted onto upper key block 26 and lower key slide 28 respectively as by welding, bolting or the like. The keys are arranged so that tang 22 a on the key 22 mounted to the upper key block 26 is inclined downwardly into opposed facing relation with an upwardly inclined tang 22 a on the key 22 mounted to the lower key slide 28. Upper key block 26 has a channel 26 a extending along the length of the block. Channel 26 a is sized so as to snugly slide over the upper corner 14 a of the base end of each of mounting brackets 14 so that upper key block 26 may be rigidly mounted thereto. Channel 26 a extends vertically upwardly from the lower end of upper key block 26. Upper key block 26 also has a vertically extending bore 26 b which extends the vertical length of upper key block 26. A bolt 30 having a non-threaded upper portion is fully journalled through bore 26 b so as to reside slidably in bore 26 b. Bolt 30 has a lower threaded portion which threadably engages a correspondingly threaded bore 28 b in lower key slide 28.
Lower key slide 28 is also mounted to the base end of bracket 14 by means of a vertical channel 28 a. Channel 28 a extends the entire vertical height of key slide 28 so as to slidably mount key slide 28 onto the lower rear corners 14 b of the base end of mounting bracket 14. Thus with a lower key slide 28 slidably mounted onto each mounting bracket 14 by slidably mounting lower rear corners 14 b into sliding engagement in channels 28 a, bore 28 b on key slide 28 and bore 26 b on key block 26 mounted to upper corners 14 a are vertically aligned so as to receive bolt 30 journalled through the bores so that the lower threaded portion of bolt 30 threadably engages the threads in bore 28 b.
Thus with bolt 30 journalled through bores 26 b and 28 b, turning bolt 30 selectively adjusts the vertical separation distance a between the ends of the opposed facing tangs 22 a. In use then, bolt 30 is turned so as to adjust distance �a�, for example, so as to be slightly greater than the spacing between two slots 18, shown as distance �b� in
In the example illustrated, bolt 30 is approximately four inches long. It has been found that the greater the spacing between upper key block 26 and lower key slide 28, that is, the greater distance �a� when the upper key block and the lower key slide are mated to a standard 12, the greater the load bearing capacity of shelf 10 without deforming standard when shelf 10 is fully extended cantilevered outwardly on mounting brackets 14 and slides 16. Thus it was found that increasing the length of bolt 30 from approximately three inches to approximately four inches, increased the load bearing capacity approximately one hundred pounds, apparently because the longer bolt 30 allowed the upper key block and lower key slide to be mounted into a pair of slots 18 spaced further apart from one another, for example, into slots 18′ and 18″ leaving one slot 18 un-used therebetween. Using a four inch bolt, it was found that, with shelves 10 having a nominally two hundred fifty pound load capacity and extended fully away from the standards, the Hussman� standards failed at approximately a two hundred thirty pound loading on shelf 10 and the Lozier� standards failed at approximately a two hundred ninety pound loading on shelf 10.
In the embodiment illustrated, the head of bolt 30 is formed for mating with an allen key wrench.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner: Capital is top target for computer thieves, say police
No brainer
I live in the sticks and commute in to London every day.
In the normal world (the sticks) most people do not walk around with tech on their person other than mobile phones which are generally in the pocket most of the time. Most people drive or walk to where they are going and when they get there they talk to other humans (we call them friends and acquaintances).
In London, almost everyone is using a tablet or laptop on the tube/bus/train/coffee shop/pub/museum etc.
I think you could say London is a target rich environment.
Brit balloon bod Bodnar circumnavigates planet
I can't wait for the Holywood film about this:
Brad Bodnar, a geek from Wisconsin who has always fancied the lead cheerleader from high school, launches his balloon. It then flies round the world until it reaches North Korea who are just about to launch a Nuke at the USA. Brad's balloon detects this (don't ask me how) and he then re-programmes it, you will see him furiously typing at a keyboard while lots of code scrolls up the screen and there is an animation of his balloon on the screen, the balloon descends in to the path of the nuke and destroys it.
Everyone is so grateful, especially the cheerleader who dumps her meat-head boyfriend and marries Brad.
President Halle Berry is at their wedding.

Absolutely fair play to them.
Two pints to the teacher for initiating such and interesting project (although he loses one of them for not researching where space starts).
A sneaky pint behind bike sheds to the students for getting it all working.
The BBC can buy the pints and do the washing up afterwards for pretending to be a serious news organisation.

I agree - don't go spraying all your sensitive data over a public Wi-Fi connection that you have no control over.
On a slightly related subject it seems a lot of people are getting lazy over data protection when in public places, especially on public transport. Many a time on my train journey I am sat next to somebody in their mobile office and can see who they work for, what they are working on, who they are communicating with, their username and password (I can see what you are typing - those asterisks do not fool me) besides a lot more.

I am waiting to see what will happen first, I actually run out of toner or the pop up has a complete breakdown.

Different Directions

from Newsday,
Two players enjoying stellar seasons have different approaches to a few days away from the grind of the NHL.
On the morning of his first day at an All-Star celebration, Jason Blake found himself singing "Happy Birthday" to a 5-year-old patient in the bone marrow transplant unit at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth.

Let's just be very clear right up front, Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco may have both collected their share of mainstream awards, like Pulitzers, American Book Awards, and the like, but with this book, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, they remove any doubt about whether they are "celebrity couriers," as they derisively term a lot of what is left of the mainstream, main street journalists out there today slapping whitewash on poverty and helping spin the machinery that manufactures rose-colored glasses. They have traveled through some of the hellholes on the dark side of the American economic reality and they are angry about the whole damn thing, fired up, fed up, and desperately looking hard for a fight. This book needs to be read, and it needs to sell very well because these guys are pretty much unemployable now. Trust me, I know this!

FDL Book Salon Welcomes Ted Rall, The Book of O(bama): From Hope and Change to the Age of Revolt
|By: watertiger Sunday July 1, 2012 1:59 pm
It's July 1, 2012. We're rapidly approaching the fourth anniversary of the murder of the American middle class, the Dark Times when our corporate-controlled government, draped in the disguise of democracy, announced in (allegedly) Willie Sutton fashion, that the only way to save the country from financial ruin was to transfer all of our life savings into the offshore bank accounts of the 1%-ers like Jamie "Diamonds" Dimon, Lloyd "Blank Check" Blankfein, Vikram "the Bandit" Pandit, and Ken "Platinum Parachute" Lewis. Distracted by the presidential election circus of 2008, the American citizenry sat passively by as BushCo, having already looted the U.S. Treasury to pay for the administration's Iraq Follies, decided now that they had gotten theirs, it was the banksters' turn. The country was forced to watch, locked out of their bank-foreclosed homes as the government rehabilitated these murderers, this time by robbing from the private sector.
Two months later, Barack Obama, the one-term Senator from Illinois whose rhetoric soared (but whose resume was a bit thin on the ground), won the Presidency, beating out the cranky old man who shook his fist at the clouds. Hope and change were in the air.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Ellis Cose, The End of Anger: A New Generation's Take on Race and Rage
|By: Juan Gonzalez Saturday August 27, 2011 1:59 pm
Something has indeed changed in race relations, author Ellis Cose concludes. There is less anger and rage, more hope and faith toward the future among African Americans of all income levels than there has ever been; more willingness by most white Americans to regard their fellow black citizens on an equal footing. This is especially true among the younger generations within both groups.
