On the new Tech Night Owl LIVE podcast, host/pundit Gene “the Night Owl”
Steinberg welcomes TidBITS editor/publisher Adam Engst returns to talk about
whether Mac users need to install virus protection software, his new unibody MacBook and the
controversy surrounding Apple’s new Mini DisplayPort video connection.
p[Below is the original script. But a few changes may have been made during the recording of this
audio podcast.]/ppChristmas trees are certainly green under all those baubles, lights and tinsel.
But are they environmentally green? After all, cutting down a living tree for a few weeks of glory
robs the planet of years worth of carbon dioxide absorbed within its growing trunk and needles. a

there we go, I’m back, and managing to get one in before the end of the month - you lot
should know by now I sometimes go walkabout (the secret is to check my Twitter for activity).
Anyway, that just means there is a lot to catch up on in the news, so pay attention in class,
there’s new game releases (LocoRoco 2, Super Stardust Portable and Patapon 2), news on the
latest firmware and the scanline issue in the PSP-3000, the descending levels of piracy, and the
potentially climbing levels thanks to the Datel Lite Blue Tool.
And rather than a game review, I’m casting my eye over Sony’s Media Manager 3.0, a free
utility released this month to check your PSP files under control and make your life easier.

unadulterated techno territory in which Paap's skills on the mixing board put just about every

15 years, dabbling in all forms of the genre, from hardcore to minimal. On this mix, he brings
together cuts from Radioslave, Loco Dice, The Mod Wheel (a.k.a. Tom Middleton), Marco Carola, and a

Not to be left out, iLuv's also brought out another internet
radio / alarm combo and it looks exactly like you'd think it would. Only cooler. The iNT170's
packing access to 15,000 radio stations and podcasts through its built-in WiFi, aka INTERNET (see
photo). It's got two 2.5 watt jAura sound speakers, a dual alarm clock, plus a 3.5mm line-in if you
need to plug in your PMP. The clock self-updates via INTERNET, so you'll never be able to use that
Daylight Saving Time excuse for being late to work again (we recommend the "flooded basement" or
"sick cat" in its stead), and you'll have the option to wake to INTERNET or regular radio in
addition to the old standby buzzer. It's available now for $199.

pWhen I mentioned the other day that our site management system has more than 30 content types, you
might have reacted in one of two ways:/p p1. Why on earth so many content types?br / 2. What's a
content type?/p pLet's take the second question first, for clarity's sake. /p pIn the beginning of
the Web, there was only one content type, and it was the document. Typically coded by hand, it was
without predictable form and structure. You can't build and maintain big websites with hand-tooled
HTML, so very quickly we moved to publishing tools. These tools combined content with standard
layouts (templates)./p pIf you've posted anything on a blog, you've done something like this: /p
pimg src=http://www.yelvington.com/files/createpage300.png //p pBlog posts represent a very simple
content type. Other purposes require more complex structures -- additional fields -- and different
templates for displaying the result./p pDrupal has something called the Content Construction Kit.
It's actually a family consisting of a little core functionality and a
href=http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/88quite a few contributed modules/a that let you
create new content types and add all sorts of interesting fields such as validated date fields,
embedded media objects, et cetera./p pOK, so the technology supports multiple content types. Back
to the first question: Why on earth so many content types?/p pIt's easy to see good reasons for
news items to be structurally more complex than a simple blog post./p pBut we also have some types
of content you probably wouldn't think about at first./p pWire stories are an interesting case.
We're not loading an AP Online feed into Drupal. We already have a system in place to support AP,
and it's not so broken that it needs fixing. But we do need to manage and display AP components in
the Drupal environment. So we have a href=http://drupal.org/project/feedapiDrupal's FeedAPI RSS
aggregator/a pulling in headlines and summaries. If you click on an AP headline in Drupal, you're
sent directly to the AP server. This required a special content type and a bit of template work./p
pPromos are another. Every news site manager struggles with competing demands for promotional slots
on the homepage for special projects and services, advertising sections, contests, et cetera. So we
created a special content type to manage that problem. We made it simple to attach an image that is
automatically resized. All the promos go into a library, so they can be temporarily removed and
reused later. On Jacksonville.com the promos are displayed in a Javascript-driven carousel
throughout the site./p pOther content includes special types for various video players, feeds from
other technology and content partners, items aggregated from websites in the community, podcasts,
cartoons, Soundslides shows, and Tweets. We pull in a hef=http://www.jacksonville.com/tweetsTwitter
postings from @jaxdotcom./a/p pDrupal also creates content types for internal purposes, such as
representing user groups, webforms, etc./p pNow, what about that editorial content type makes it so
special? I'll go into that in my next post in this series./p
p[The following is an exact transcript of this podcast.]/ppItrsquo;s not every day we get a chance
to time travel. Other than into the future at the rate of one second per second. But astronomers
say theyrsquo;ve done a little traveling into the past. In November of 1572, legendary astronomer
Tycho Brahe peered up at the night sky. He saw what looked like a strangely bright star in the
constellation Cassiopeia. It was brighter even than the nearby planet Venus. He studied that bright
new star for five months, until it faded away. But what Brahe saw wasnrsquo;t a new star. It was
actually an old star undergoing the brilliantly bright death of a supernova. a
