Since Martin’s server, and, along with it, his BLT program, is down, I have set up an m14m.net mirror of it. I would have done this yesterday, but I didn’t realize it would be so easy, and I thought I could write my own version relatively quickly. I am still planning to write my own script eventually, but I needed something working now, and it turns out it was just a matter of copying the script over and watching it run. So, until ninjavampire.com returns, I recommend http://www.m14m.net/bltadv/ for all your blog tracking needs.

In SJC blogging news: Jesse Berney, one of the major contributors to the Democratic National Committee blog, is a Johnnie. If I’m remembering right, he graduated in 1997 (the year I started there), and was the Gadfly editor at some point.

I’m doing XML-RPC stuff in Flash at work right now, and it makes me realize: a Flash frontend to a blogging tool could make for a really powerful interface. You could have much more responsive views for browsing and editing archives and things, and for entering text. I would certainly never want it to be the only interface, but it would be a great thing to have available.

Les Orchard has evidently been looking at Prolog programming. I played with Prolog a bit when I was… oh, little. Ten or twelve, I guess. Anyway, I don’t remember it very well, but from what I do remember, it’s pretty damned cool. It’s a logic programming language: basically, you give it statements in a sort of formal logic, and it evaluates their consequences. So it’s like a calculator for logic puzzles. Maybe I should look at it again.

David Weinberger: Democratic Candidates in Statistical Dead Heat
A good reminder that anyone attempting to interpret poll results should first understand statistics. Also, a bit of grammatical pedantry in the comments on that entry reminds me that I should link to the wonderful Singular ‘their’ in Jane Austen and elsewhere page. This page collects a great many convincing references for the argument that constructions like “everyone is entitled to their own opinion” have been an accepted part of the English language for hundreds of years.

I don’t go in for philosophy so much anymore—as a matter of fact, I usually think it’s a very silly business of getting into a big fuss over nothing—but still, if someone could give me a convincing explanation of just what sort of ontological status rules of grammar have, I’d… well, I’d look on it as a favor.

While reading The Nation last night (specifically this excellent forum on humanitarian intervention from a couple of months back), I reflected, not for the first time, on how remarkably Hobbesian the organization of the U.N. is for such a modern liberal institution.

Rather than confuse you with endorsements, position papers and other outmoded means of political influence, we’ve decided to get to the bottom of the only question that matters: Is a particular candidate human or an insidious replicant, possessed of physical strength and computational abilities far exceeding our own, but lacking empathy and possibly even bent on our destruction as a species?

The Crux is a weblog that started a couple of days ago. It’s mostly on political topics so far. Other blogmass people may be interested in it, because it’s largely written by a bunch of Johnnies, mostly from the class of 2000. If you knew them at St. John’s, you’ll probably have some idea of whether you’ll be interested in the blog. (I heard about it because my referrer logs very occasionally show links from their other, semi-private, blog, which, since it is semi-private, I’ve naturally been reluctant to link to.)

Holy shit! Virtual dedicated servers for fifteen bucks a month. That’s half what I pay for my current non-root account. It looks like it would include more disk space, and, of course, I’d be able to configure everything just so. This could be worth looking into.
