Here is a brief clip from my encounter with Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Shah at Duke University last
evening. The evening was very short (less than two hours), but it may well be a preview of things
to come, as Dr. Shah wants to do more in-depth debates in the future! I am excited about what 2009
will bring.

California/a delves into new territory for Ferrari, both in theme and design. Many faithful to the
marque may be against its styling, but the true test will be sales numbers. As Porsche has proved
over the last few years, the addition of successful new models can be a valuable asset to a
company's finances, and we're all in favor of Ferrari's increased capability to improve the breed.

- "Dear Betty Baby"/a. Mayo Thompson grabbed his stetson, his ratty tweed jacket, and he headed to
the library. "Hey kitty," he said to the first librarian he found. "Happy Tuesday." "Can I help
you?" she said. "You know what it is: show me to the phonebooks." It was 1970 and the librarian
showed Mayo Thompson to the phonebooks. He hung up his stetson on the corner of a bookcase and
draped his jacket over the back of a chair. He unfastened the top button of his shirt. "Ma'am," he
said to the librarian, "I am thanking you." Then Mayo Thompson started hefting telephone
directories from the shelves, stacking them on one of the broad tables. He chose the phonebooks for
Glasgow, Istanbul, Cannes, Lisbon, Reykjavik, Alexandria, Sydney, Heraklion, Cape Town, Brasilia,
Halifax. Set in a pillar on the table they reached to the ceiling. Then Mayo Thompson scratched his
knee and sat down. He started going through the phonebooks, one after another, looking for
something. He was looking for the mailing address of the dawn. A little while later the librarian
came back. She had fallen in love with Mayo Thompson during their brief encounter. "Hello," she
said shyly. "Yo bluefin," he said, not looking up. He closed one phonebook and extruded another
from the stack. The librarian waited for a while. She was wearing a serious felt dress, blue with
faint polka-dots. Mayo Thompson finally lifted his eyes. "Oh, hey," he said. "What are you looking
for?" she asked. "A long lost family member?" "Need an address for the dawn," Mayo Thompson said.
"Want 'em to play horns on my new album." "Sorry?" said the librarian. "It's a solo record," he
explained. "Songs by me. Love songs and work songs and not-love songs. Poetry set swinging." "No,"
said the librarian, "what do you mean 'the dawn'?" "Mornings, roosters, light," Mayo Thompson said.
"Is Dawn your sweetheart?" "Wish she was." He squinted at the librarian. "Oh," he said at last,
seeing the lustre in her eyes. "No, not a bird called Dawn, some blondie. No. IThe/i dawn.
Daybreak. Aurora. Sunrise. Sunup." "Like, the sun?" she said. "Yeah. Like the sun." "I think it
lives in California," she said. "It's for a song called 'Dear Betty Baby,'" he explained. They
found dawn listed at a San Diego address. "Honey!" Mayo Thompson explained. He tore the page from
the phonebook. The librarian didn't say anything, just squeezed her fists at her sides. "I gotta go
write a letter," he said. "I'm about to go on break," she replied. Mayo Thompson grabbed his hat
and jacket and made his way from the reference section, phonebook-page held in his teeth. The
librarian scampered after him, grabbing her clutch from behind the Returns desk. She had to run to
keep up with his long jeaned legs. He crossed 4th and dashed across 9th and stopped traffic on 1st.
She was at his heels. Finally Mayo Thompson headed into a typewriter store. He gave the librarian
his hat and jacket to hold. He peered at the Smith Corona "Electra" demonstration typewriter and
smoothed out the dawn's address. Then he started typing a letter, pecking each key with his right
middle finger. "What are you doing?" asked the librarian, her arms full of ratty tweed and stetson.
"Writing a letter to the dawn. Asking 'em if they want to play horns on my new album." "Trumpet?"
"That kind of thing. Trumpet, French horn, trombone." "Why?" "'s what the song needs," he said.
"Shush a second." He stood staring at the keys. "What's another word for 'sweet'?" "Sugared."
"Sugared. Dig." He continued typing. "Couldn't you just get some musicians to play the part?"
"Sure. Session musicians flockin'. But this is different. This needs sunrise on horns. Needs it."
He typed a row of Ix/i's at the end, just to hear the typewriter go Iding/i. "Sugared," he said.
Mayo Thompson unscrolled the letter from the "Electra". He took his hat back from the librarian and
tipped it to the typewriter salespeople. Then he winked at the librarian. "C'mon," he said. "What
next?" she asked as they crossed 15th. "I need stamps." "I got stamps." He stopped in the middle of
the street. "You do?" "Yes," she said. "At my flat." She took him back to her apartment. They rode
the tiny elevator in silence. Mayo Thompson smelled of straw and tangerines. Her keys glinted when
she lifted them to the lock. Inside the apartment she pointed at a small armoire. "They're in
there, at the top." Mayo Thompson opened the armoire, ran his hand along the smooth of the wood.
Behind him the librarian slipped out of her dress. [a

Audiocon (was Audio Unit Converter)... Ever needed to delay sound sources in a
multi-channel setup or wanted to work out the delay between the close mic on a snare and the
overheads? How about finding out the frequency of a problematic bass note or converting
hexadecimal MIDI strings into their decimal equivalent?
This widget allows you to effortlessly convert between many common units that you may encounter
while working in a studio or live sound situation. The conversion units in the current version
are:
Distance (m) - Time (ms) - Frequency (Hz)
Time (ms) - Samples (@ 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 96KHz, 192KHz)
Let's say you have a view of support tickets that are awaiting processing. The older the ticket
gets the more important it is that somebody does something about it.
How do we convey this to the user though? Well, there's
various methods, but yesterday I came up with a new way, which I think you'll like. Imagine each
row of the view is a varying shade of red, based on the document's age. The older the document
the redder the row.
You can see an example of this in the screen-grab to the right and in this DEXT demo page. On the demo page you'll need to
scroll down to see it in effect.
How Does It Work?
In terms of CSS this works by virtue of the fact you specify a colour as three numeric values
representing the mix of red, green and blue. You might be used to seeing something like this:
<tr style="background-color:#ff0000;"><td>I should be bathed in
red</td></tr>
But did you know you can also do it like this (in all browsers!):
<tr style="background-color:rgb(255,0,0);"><td>I should be bathed in red
too</td></tr>
An RGB value of 255,0,0 is red, whereas 255,255,255 is white. You can specify any shade of pink
by passing 255 for the Red value and any number for
Green and Blue, as long as they're both the same. See this
table as an example:
rgb(255,0,0) Red rgb(255,60,60) ↑ rgb(255,127,127) Pink rgb(255,200,200) ↓
rgb(255,255,255) White
The smaller the number you specify for Green and Blue the redder the colour. Can you see where
this is going?
How This Works In Domino
What we need to do in our view is have each row calculate a number between 0 and 255. Brand new
documents need to come out of the formula with a value of 255, whereas really old documents need
to compute to 0.
The view itself needs to be treated as HTML and one of the columns would have a formula like
this:
As you can see (hopefully) the G and B values of the row colour are worked out as a "percentage"
value of 255, based on how many days have passed since it was created.
The number you multiply 255 by should be somewhere between 0 and 1. If it's 0 then you get red.
if it's 1 then you get white. So it might seem the opposite way round to what you'd expect.
Note that I've introduced a "factor" in to the formula above. What I found was that you need to
spread the shading of your rows out over the range of dates you expect to encounter. The factor
needs to be about the same order of magnitude as the top end date expected. The best way to work
this out is to play with it in your real world scenario.
Using Dates In View Columns
By now you might have noticed the view uses today's date in a column formula. Although the way
I've done doesn't invoke the problems with indexing that using @Today does you might be wondering
how it gets updated, as the date appears hard-coded.
Remember I've talked before about how you can use scheduled agents to
update view selection formula. Well, you can do the same thing with column formulas too!
Imagine this code running every night at shortly past midnight:
Set TodayDT = New NotesDateTime(Now) tmp =
|days_passed:=1+([+TodayDT.DateOnly+|]-@Date(@Created))/(3600*24); factor:=20;
val:=@Min(@Round((1/(days_passed/factor))*255); 255); "<tr
style="background-color:rgb(255,"+@Text(val)+","+@Text(val)+");">"| Set folder =
database.GetView("TicketsByDate") folder.Columns(1).Formula = tmp Call folder.Refresh
It's as easy as that. There's little wonder I'm so fond of Notes.
Summary
Used in the right place this technique can add much usefulness to the user and help them
immediately recognise documents in need of attention. How you use it is down to you (it doesn't
have to be a support ticket system!). It doesn't have to be shades of red either. You can use
shades of any colour, as long as one of the RGB values always stays the same. Brilliant.
Next blog entry will discuss the use of this technique with LotusScript.
Found a few bugs in this new version of Parallels 4. First, if you have dual monitors, say notebook
+ external, the Coherence mode will render incorrectly if you place the start menu on the bottom,
above the dock. It's really hard to explain, but if your notebook's screen is align at the top to
the external (I'm using 24"), then the part of the start bar is "eaten". Another bug is when you
select under Windows a resolution bigger than 800X600, it will not stick during boot up. In other
words, the VM window will show at the right resolution, but when you start it, it will shrink down
to 800x600 resolution and then go back to whatever resolution you set it as. Pics for the start
menu being "eaten" below. Hopefully they fix this soon, or I might just switch to Fusion. This
thread's purpose is to list the bugs we encounter, so if you find a bug just post a reply stating
it and what you were doing prior to.

blockquoteI do not want to spend too much time beating a dead war-horse, but your average Damp;D
game consists of a group of white players acting out how their white characters encounter and
destroy orcs and goblins, who are, as a race evil, uncivilized, and dark-skinned. To quote a
href="http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/president-maverick-racist.php?page=1"Steve
Sumner’s essay/a again, “Unless played very carefully, Dungeons amp; Dragons could
easily become a proxy race war, with your group filling the shoes of the noble white power
crusaders seeking to extinguish any orc war bands or goblin villages they happened across.” I
would argue with Sumner’s use of the phrase “could become,” and say that unless
played very carefully, Damp;D usually becomes a proxy race war. Any adventurer knows that if you
see an orc, you kill it. You don’t talk to it, you don’t ask what it’s doing
there - you kill it, since it’s life is worth less than the treasure it carries and the
experience points you’ll get from the kill. If filmed, your average Damp;D campaign would
look something like Birth of a Nation set in Greyhawk. /blockquote- a

Ive played the game almost everyday and I have never encounter a Crash yet.
But today, I got 3 and I know how they happen.
First this only happen since ATI driver 8.11
You must play the game in full screen. The crash will happen when in the windows desktop you recive
a little message pop-up(little bobble on the lower right side of the screen like an antivirus
update or a new hamachi message.
This problem is happenning also to my friend and both of us crashed at the same time because we got
a message from hamachi.
One time I crashed alone because NOD32 (antivirus) had a little pop-up to tell me it has been
updated to latest rev...
This problem was not happening with 8.10
THe problem is also posted on the demigod dev forum.
here is some windows detail about the crash

How do we convey this to the user though? Well, there's
various methods, but yesterday I came up with a new way, which I think you'll like. Imagine each
row of the view is a varying shade of red, based on the document's age. The older the document
the redder the row.
