PmWiki restored

Publié le par

Restored PmWiki today. I was getting a 403 page, and found out that URLs generated by pmwiki engine lacked the pmwiki.php at the end, as in
http://www.soours.com/wiki/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Soours.Construction
which was spelled
http://www.soours.com/wiki/pmwiki/?n=Soours.Construction
notice? nothing btw the last ‘/’ and the ‘?n=’
It took me 3 minutes in PmWiki’s wiki to locate the main configuration fil’s name (called, believe it, /pmwiki/config.php), and to modify the line starting with $ScriptUrl as such (it was effectively missing the final ‘pmwiki.php’, so I probably saved it without editing when I tweaked PmWiki).
$ScriptUrl = 'http://www.soours.com/wiki/pmwiki/pmwiki.php';

K. Kelly: When copies are free, you need to sell things which can not be copied

Publié le par

« …I see roughly eight categories of intangible value that we buy when we pay for something that could be free. (…) these are eight things that are better than free. Eight uncopyable values:

  1. Immediacy = early use, like hardcover books (vs. paperback)
  2. Personalization = customized, tailored for single user
  3. Interpretation = « software, free.The manual, $10,000 »
  4. Authenticity = « Digital watermarks and other signature technology will not work as copy-protection schemes (copies are super-conducting liquids, remember?) but they can serve up the generative quality of authenticity for those who care »
  5. Accessibility = Many people, me included, will be happy to have others tend our « possessions » by subscribing to them.
  6. Embodiment = there will always be new insanely great display technology that consumers won’t have. (…) nothing gets embodied as much as music in a live performance, with real bodies. The music is free; the bodily performance expensive
  7. Patronage = audiences WANT to pay creators. Fans like to reward artists, musicians, authors and the like with the tokens of their appreciation, because it allows them to connect
  8. Findability = When there are millions of books, millions of songs, millions of films, millions of applications, millions of everything requesting our attention — and most of it free — being found is valuable.

Danegeld

« It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,

For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,

You will find it better policy to say: —
« We never pay any-one Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost! »

Mailer learn from spam

Publié le par

Cory Doctorow has wrote some interesting views on e-mail reading programs (not education, software!), and what a really good ‘mailer’:
I’m forever getting cc’d on busy threads by well-meaning colleagues who want to loop me in on some discussion in which I have little interest. Maybe the initial group invitation to a dinner (that I’ll be out of town for) was something I needed to see, but now that I’ve declined, I really don’t need to read the 300+ messages that follow debating the best place to eat.
I could write a mail-rule to ignore the thread, of course. But mail-rule editors are clunky, and once your rule-list grows very long, it becomes increasingly unmanageable. Mail-rules are where bookmarks were before the bookmark site del.icio.us showed up — built for people who might want to ensure that messages from the boss show up in red, but not intended to be used as a gigantic storehouse of a million filters, a crude means for telling the computers what we don’t want to see.

Rael Dornfest, the former chairman of the O’Reilly Emerging Tech conference and founder of the startup AskSandy, once proposed an « ignore thread » feature (…) We need a million measures like this, adaptive systems that create a gray zone between « delete on sight » and « show this to me right away. »
