Charlie Brooker's CCTV Bumhole

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:08:46 -0400

Charlie Brooker's CCTV Bumhole: “This place is a joke. Each day I move around carrying a mobile phone (traceable) and an Oyster card (trackable), monitored, on average, by 10 times as many CCTV cameras as there are in the Big Brother house. Wherever I go, a gigantic compound eye peers at the back of my neck. I’m another bustling dot in the ant farm.”

I nearly wet myself when I first saw this at university in about 1992. It looked like nothing else I’d ever seen on my Amiga and used about every rave music stab sample there was.

I particularly like the addendum right at the end by hacker ground Skid Row: “Debugged by Skid Row - How could this demo have won: lame programming and useless trackloader.” Because the trackloader’s the important part, right?

Human API Negotiation

Wed, 21 May 2008 05:38:00 -0400

I was working on the start of a data reconciliation problem yesterday, wandering around the office talking to various people who know the data and where it comes from, how up-to-date it is and who updates it.

Whilst my colleagues were talking I had an out-of-office experience and watched while they negotiated an agreement about the edges of the problem. As they were disussing the interfaces between one company’s process and another, it seemed like trying to spec an API. It made me wonder if there’s some kind of interprocess negotiation protocol that could be developed, or perhaps already exists.

I meet this problem again and again, and rather than fix it each time I end up trying to analyse the patterns. Perhaps I should just get on with it.

Pointles Power Connectors

Thu, 01 May 2008 18:25:46 -0400

Pointles Power Connectors: It seems the entire world stocks power adapters for IDE motherboards powering SATA drives, but nobody sells SATA power connectors that turn it into IDE. This is a load of rubbish as my motherboard has an IDE data connector, but no way of powering an IDE drive. What a bloody stupid idea.
