Honestly, nothing (especially TiddlyWiki) is upgrade-proof because anything can happen in an upgrade. Here I'm mainly talking about the average upgrade (ie from 1.2.26 to 1.2.27).

Introducing TiddlyRin - a style for TiddlyWiki <<version>> by [[Clint Checketts]]\n\n!Features\nTiddlyRin is a StyleSheet tiddler that totally re-vamps the page layout of TiddlyWiki. The neat thing is that all the layout changes have been accomplished without touching the code! This means that TiddlyRin is totally UpgradeProof! Since all the changes were made by clever (if I may say so myself) use of macros, tiddlers, and of course, CSS.\n\nIt also features a fully ''Liquid Layout''!\n\n!Requirements\nThe Options, Sidebar, and MainMenu have all been altered primarily through tiddlers. To copy this design you would need to copy or import each of the TiddlyRin tiddlers: \n<<listTags tiddlyRin *>> \nAlso, it is important that each MainMenu link is a list-item (LI). So each link needs an asterisk (*) before it on its own line. (See MainMenu)\n\n!Download page\nA simpler solution to changing each tiddler is to download [[this file|http://15black.bluedepot.com/styles/tiddlyRin.html]]. It should function perfectly in IE, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

[[Shirky: Ontology is Overrated|http://shirky.com/writings/ontology_overrated.html]] — Categories, Links, and Tags\n\nQuotable bits:\n<<<\n “My God. It’s full of links:\n the URL gives us a way to create a globally unique ID for anything we need to point to”\n\n “Great Minds don’t think alike:\n By forgoing formal classification, tags enable a huge amount of user-produced organizational value, at vanishingly small cost.”\n\n “Market Logic:\n If you find a way to make it valuable to individuals to tag their stuff, you’ll generate a lot more data about any given object than if you pay a professional to tag it once and only once.”\n\n “Signal Loss from Expression:\n With tagging, when there is signal loss, it comes from people not having any commonality in talking about things.\n With a multiplicity of points of view the question isn’t “Is everyone tagging any given link ‘correctly’”, but rather “Is anyone tagging it the way I do?”\n If there is no shelf, then even imagining that there is one right way to organize things is an error.”\n\n “Filtering done post hoc:\n In a world where publishing is cheap, putting something out there says nothing about its quality. It’s what happens after it gets published that matters. If people don’t point to it, other people won’t read it.”\n<<<\nStart using [[del.icio.us|http://del.icio.us/]] seriously!\n\n----\nJune 30 2005
There are a myriad of different styles of writing in the //blogosphere// [define] and this year's ''Tour de France'' is a good subject area to sample a set of different approaches to this exciting event.\n\nOne can start with the web sites that report the basic facts, with a description of the race, perhaps a cross section for the climbs and maybe a photo gallery:\n\n* [[The Official Tour de France|http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/1000/index.html]] web site is one of these. Informative but basically boring.\n* [[Bicycling Magazine's|http://www.bicycling.com/tourdefrance]] site is rather more interesting although saturated with adverts (thank goodness for Adblock).\n* The [[BBC's cycling|http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/cycling/default.stm]] page is potentially more interesting with Tour Stage Reports, Tour de France Extras, Photo gallery, stage guide, and a message board. Here's a [[screenshot|graphics/bbc_cycling_71205.png]] of what it looked like on Tues July 12th. On this site we have a couple of different formats of personal writing to look at:\n \n## There's the [[Robbie McEwen column|tdf/robbie_mcewen_col.htm]] where he talking to a reporter presumably.\n## And then there's Your Tour Experiences where readers are invited to post their own experiences on the tour route. [[Here's a sample|tdf/tour_experience_stage10.htm]] from stage 10, Grenoble to Courchevel.\n## Finally, there's a [[message or bulletin board|http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbfivelive/F2148575]] ([[screenshot|graphics/bbc_messagebd_stage10.png]])where readers can post comments and replies.\n\nQ1: Are any of the above references really a blog? For each reference, state how you think it is like a blog and how not.\n\nNow we come to the blogging world or //blogosphere// proper.\n \nThe [[Tour de France|http://www.tdfblog.com/]] blog is in classic blog format with a long central column subdivided into sections (individual posts) and headlines at the top ([[stage 10 archive|tdf/tdfblog_stage10.htm]] and updated a couple of minutes later [[stage 10 afternoon|tdf/tdfblog_stage10_later.htm]]. The three column layout has:\n* in the left column a list of other tdf blogs (aka //blogroll// -- we'll come to these later), other postings about the tour on different sites, links to all the recent comments made in the blog and then a list of all the top riders and references to them. \n* On the right hand column we have a long section for the sponsors (but not intrusive, unlike some other sites...) inclusive of a photo illustrating why beach volleyball has a popular following, a search fearure, link to books and media at Amazon (the author gets a cut when you buy one of these from amazon), recent posts, and an archive. \n\nFor each blog entry or posting there's a:\n# list of rider's names which are 'tagged' -- clicking on one of these gives all the entries that mention that rider -- \n# then there's a //permalink// (a permanent link to that particular posting), clicking on this will give you a page with the posting and comments and trackbacks,\n# there's a comments link where you can add your own comment relevant to the entry\n# a //trackback// link to a page of trackbacks. Intead of writing comments in other's blogs many bloggers prefer to comment in their own blog and then do a //trackback// to the originating blog which is sent a //ping//. Thus a trackback is a kind of reverse link.\n\nYou can see how comprehensive this blog is -- truely a masterpiece!\n\nOther tdf blogs:\n\n* The [[Jambon Report|http://www.dailypeloton.com/displayarticle.asp?pk=8284]] which can be hilarious. Here's a quote:\n<<<\nHe got onto his radio microphone and screamed, "Vai! Vai! Vai Lorenzo!," and man did Lorenzo vai (by the way, I think that's Italian for, "Lorenzo! The lycra on your buttocks, it is on fire! Ride quickly and perhaps you shall extinguish it!")\n<<<\n* [[Velogal|http://velogal.blogspot.com/]] is a ''real'' blog -- an on the spot account of covering the tour. It's blogs like these that really give you an idea of what the Tour is like from the inside. You really need to read these every day to feel the atmosphere. Here's the blog as on [[July 12:stage 10|tdf/velogal_712.htm]]. \n* 'Crazy Jane' also put a female slant on the Tour with [[le tour delicieux|http://crazyjaneski.typepad.com/le_tour_delicieux/]] . Here's a quote from her blog about stage 9:\n<<<\nThe future was looking so bright for Inigo Landaluze and Filippo Simeoni when their gap stretched to almost 10 glorious minutes before the peloton woke up and started to reel those little fish back in. Poor Señor Landaluze! He's been a pro for two years, with nary a victory to his name, and it's got to hurt to come so close, only to be swallowed up mere meters from the line by all those greedy sprinters. If only he and Simeoni hadn't horsed around in those final moments, neither wanting to lead out the other's sprint, they might have held on and saved us from another Robbie McEwen victory. Aye, me.\n<<<\n* [[Operation Gadget|http://www.operationgadget.com/]] has yet a different take on the Tour. Here, they talk about the Tour from the perspective of technology -- there are some interesting blog links too. Here's [[stage 10's account|tdf/operation_gadget_stage10.htm]]\n* [[Lantern Rouge|http://tdflr.blogspot.com/]] is another //blogger// hosted blog which focuses on the last rider of the Tour (take a look at [[cycloblog's glossary|http://cycloblog.com/index.php?static=glossary]] to understand the lingo). Again this one is authored by a woman (how come females are writing the most interesting tdf blogs?) and she has a good overview of of what the Tour de France is all about in her [[Quick 'n' Dirty TdF Guide|tdf/lanterne_rouge_stage11.htm]].\n* [[Fat Cyclist|http://spaces.msn.com/members/fatcyclist/Blog/cns!1pUmGvi9idWgOodsIbhHUOQA!324.entry]] -- this is totally hilarious even though it's hosted on msn! Try this TdF Personality Test:\n<<<\nQuestion 1. Who do you want to win the Tour de France?\n * Jan Ullrich: You love a comeback kid, a perpetual underdog, a likeable loser. If American, you voted Democrat. If you are a cyclist, you are more likely to be overweight than not, and use Jan as a shining beacon of what it's possible for a fat cyclist to achieve.\n * Ivan Basso, Alexandre Vinokourov: You fancy yourself a thinker, an analyst, but you're actually just a flibbertigibbet. You've looked at Basso's results from the past and think he's a good bet for the future. When Basso doesn't wind up in the top 10 after this year's tour, you will hardly notice, however, because you'll already have moved on to the next big thing.\n * Lance Armstrong: You are a pragmatist, and like to surround yourself with winners. If American, There is a 70% chance you voted Republican. If you are willing -- when confronted -- to vigorously defend Armstrong's character flaws, there is a 95% chance you are Republican.\n * Levi Leipheimer, Floyd Landis: You are a dreamer, and hold to those dreams even in the face of harsh reality. If American, you vote Libertarian.\n * Iban Mayo, Roberto Heras: You are an idealist, and tend to remember the old days as better than they actually were.\n * Someone else: You are simply obstinate.\n<<<\n* More conventional blogs:\n** [[Peloton blog|http://peloton.blogs.com/]]\n** blogger hosted [[TdF for the rest of us|http://tdf05.blogspot.com/]] and [[maillot jaune|http://maillot-jaune.blogspot.com/]] -- [[stage 10 here|tdf/MaillotJaune_stage10.htm]]\n** [[CYCLOBLOG|http://www.cycloblog.com/]]\n\n!!!

Defendants’ products were capable of substantial noninfringing uses and therefore not liable, or incapable of substantial noninfringing uses and therefore liable. Grokster does two things. First, it established a new middle-category (“maybe liable”), in which facts like how the product was marketed and designed will be decisive on contributory copyright infringement. Second, it shifts some products from Sony’s safe harbor into the liable category and the middle category. Products that lack plausible and likely non-infringing uses are potentially liable, according to all nine Justices.\n<<<\n\nIn [[kicking the sony can ...|http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/2005/06/28/kicking_the_sony_can_down_the_road.php]] Ernest Miller disagrees:\n\n<<<\nWhile Justice Ginsburg ignores the future potential for peer-to-peer, Justice Breyer revels in it. Lior Strahilevitz argues that Grokster may have erased the future potential from Sony (Is Grokster Erasing “Capable” from Sony?). I disagree, "capable" has always been rooted in reality. I could use a gun to hammer nails, but that does not mean that a gun is "capable" of being a hammer in the sense that "capable" is used in Sony.\n<<<\n\n ''Time is on our side'' Ernet Miller announces -- what reasoning does he have for his optimism?

# Frame initial guiding question. eg\n# Do research with this Question in mind:\n** guided browsing\n** bookmarks\n** JustBlogIt! with notes\n** think outside the box\n# Process what you have found -- how importnant is this. Make sure to find a 'critical' resource\n** Synthesise / Analyse -- put together into a semi-coherent whole\n** re-evaluate guiding question. Maybe change it to something more intersting of more covered by what you have found.\n# Personalise / Interpret\n** impose your adopted persona on the material (we'll talk about blogging stylers / personas tomorrow)\n** perhaps change your persona -- keep it consistent within the piece.\n# Feedback. Writing Audience. Three kinds:\n## blog comments\n## blog trackbacks\n## vocal feedback after reading out loud\n\nAt two stages:\n## prior to draft submission\n## prior to final submission\n\nThree audiences:\n## fellow students in course\n## teacher - me\n## CS alumni invited to observe and comment. A wider audience.\n\n\n* Read other student's draftsComment kindly but critically with 3 + and 3 - aspects\n* reappraise your own work in the light of comments. Reflect and blog refelctions\n

!!Digital Property Rights\n[[Technology Review|http://www.technologyreview.com]]\n carried some articles about the issue of intellectual property rights, with [[Who Should Own Ideas?|http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/05/06/issue/readme_ideas.asp?p=1]]\n kicking off the debate. \n[[Lawrence Lessig|http://www.lessig.org]] kicked off the debate with [[The People own ideas|http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/05/06/issue/feature_people.asp?p=0]] and Richard Epstein responded with [[The Creators Own Ideas|http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/05/06/issue/feature_creators.asp?p=0]]. Ably commented upon in [[Matt Asay's|http://asay.blogspot.com/]] blog article [[ Lessig vs. Epstein on (digital) property rights|http://asay.blogspot.com/2005/06/lessig-vs-epstein-on-digital-property.html]]\n\n[[Who Owns Culture|http://wilcoworld.net/wired/]] : a conversation between Jeff Tweeny, Lawrenece Lessig and Steven Johnson\n [img[Who Owns Culture|graphics/archive_r1_c1.gif]]\nA [[conversation|graphics/wired_nypl.mov]] (in Quicktime)\n\n!!Fair Use and DRM\nBut Lessig et al seem to be missing the point. The real issue is that of //fair use// or rather //fear of fair use// as Ken "Caesar" Fisher in an [[Ars Technica|http://www.arstechnica.com/]] article called [[Harvard Law project does legal case study of iTune's business model|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/004/software/law/i-tunes.html]] calls it. The report which is about a paper issued by the Digital Media Project at Harvard Law School makes a number of important points:\n\n* //Contract trumps copyright// (his italics) -- contracts are being used to restrict normal freedom given to users by copyright law. True in the US and Europe\n* Right of second sale. If I purchase a CD and no longer want it I can sell it on ebay, right? But DMCA and DRM trump this. First Sale Doctrine (exclusive right to distribute content, and therefore the buyer can sell it on) is implicitly not being applied to digital content because the business model demands //even more// exclusive rights to distribution and DRM technologies are //by design// inimical to portability and therefore selling on.\n* Fair Use -- "Fair use is copyright law's attempt to codify reasonable exceptions and limitations to the exclusive rights normally granted to copyright holders." \n"Fair use can also be seen as a work-around of the copyright". \n"If a use is considered "fair" by the law, customers might expect it and are likely to make a decision whether or not to use a particular system based on to what extent that system allows the use. As the market for online music distribution grows, competition between distributors could result in an ever increasing set of allowed uses."\n\n!!!Fear of Fair Use\nUS & Europe are designing laws to trump fair use by making it illegal to circumvent DRM. The insidious chain:\n\n* copyright trumped by contractual law -- restricts fair use in legal terms\n* DRM technology enforces adherence to these rules\n* DRM itself is protected by laws such as DMCA in the US and EU Copyright Directive in Europe\n\nThe Betamax decision did defend the copyright rights of consumers, but the real drive behind DRM is not piracy it's about //shutting down fair use//. \n\n!! Digital Rights Management\n\n* Wikipedia has a useful overview of [[digital rights management|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Rights_Management/]] \n* [[Talk|http://www.craphound.com/msftdrm.txt]] given to Microsoft Research group in June 04.

[[Picker MobBlog: Copyright and Product Design|http://picker.typepad.com/picker_mobblog/2005/07/picker_copyrigh.html]]\n\n<<<\nGoogle Video consists of three parts: a video viewer; a search engine; and an upload service through which content creators can make their videos available. The video viewer plays back files only if they are stored on Google servers. At least that’s how it worked for four days, until Jon Johansen of DeCSS fame—posted code to remove the restriction. (See c|net for more on that.) The technical link between the video viewer and the content service is interesting in its own right, especially since Google contemplates future fees in connection with video downloading.\n<<<\n\nInteresting.\n\nOther Grokster links:\n\n* In 1999 [[cypherpunk manifesto|http://bitconjurer.org/a_technological_activists_agenda.html]]\n<<<\nBitTorrent creator Bram Cohen declared himself a "a technological activist" who "further[s] my goals with technology. I build systems to disseminate information, commit digital piracy, synthesize drugs . . ." \n<<<\nDoes this give //intent// to Bittorrent as Wired (in [[BitTorrent Whiz Extolled Piracy?|http://wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,68046,00.html]] ) claims ?\n\n[[Bram Cohen: My Activist's Manifesto is a Parody|http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/2005/06/29/bram_cohen_my_activists_manifesto_is_a_parody.php]] comments about this as does [[Shocking Revelations About BitTorrent|http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2005/06/shocking_revela.htm]] \n\n!!! Implications of Grokster:\n\nConclusion from [[Legal Theory|http://lsolum.blogspot.com/archives/2005_06_01_lsolum_archive.html#112006686207391975]] blog:\n"The Grokster decision may have been a minor tactical victory for content providers, but it is a stupendous strategic loss."\n\n<<<\nGrokster and the Future of P2P\nWhat are the implications of the Grokster decision for the future of P2P filesharing? Superficially, the fact that MGM prevailed in the Supreme Court might seem like a negative for P2P, I believe that quite the opposite is true. Why?\n\n * The first question that needs to be answered when evaluating the impact of Grokster is: What is the baseline? The thought that Grokster was a victory for content providers is a result of the assumption that the Ninth Circuit's decision provided the legal baseline, and that baseline essentially immunized P2P providers from legal liability. But that assumption was never correct. The Ninth Circuit decision was just one decision in one case, and the decision itself was largely a product of the poor litigation strategy of plaintiffs--who were trying to get the Ninth Circuit to eviscerate the Sony (substantial noninfringing use) decision. The Ninth Circuit did buy the plaintiff's argument that the choices were eviscerate Sony or let P2P run amok, but decided to let P2P run amok. In my opinion, that result was unstable and never could have been the long-term status quo. The real baseline was a state of uncertainty--with the NInth Circuit Grokster decision, the Seventh Circuit's Aimster decision, and many other possibiities unresolved.\n\n * The Supreme Court's decision in Grokster makes it clear that P2P companies are subject to liability if there is direct proof of intentional inducement of copyright violations. Good legal engineering of P2P communications and business models can easily insure that such proof will be unavailable. Therefore, the intentional inducement cause of action is likely to drop out of the picture from an ex ante perspective. Of course, ex post some of the existing P2P services may have residual legal problems, but that will only shift users from some P2P services to others.\n\n * Among the P2P services that are likely to flourish in a post-Grokster legal environment is BitTorrent. Of course, shifting users to BitTorrent is no victory for content providers--it is actually a defeat. It is not in the interest of content providers to encourage users to shift to more capable P2P engines. (For more on this, see Ernest Miller's post with many links.)\n\n * Of course, there is a certain air of unreality about all of this discussion, because, as we all know, the cat is out of the bag, the barn door is open, and the genie is out of the bottle!!! No change in the legal environment can possibly contain P2P, and even if it could, the fundamental architecture of the Internet is such that massively distributed file sharing cannot be subject to effective legal control. If not "P2P," then something else, piggybacking on email, IM, or something else completely different.\n<<<\n\nOther commentary:\n\n* [[Day Three of the Grokster Era|http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/2005/06/29/day_three_of_the_grokster_era.php]]\n* [[BitTorrent and Grokster: How Much Intent Does it Take|http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/2005/06/28/bittorrent_and_grokster_how_much_intent_does_it_take.php]]\n\n----\nJuly 01 2005
Reflections on things to do next time I teach this course.\n\n!! Digital Media\nTwo books to read:\n* The Future of Music - David Kusek & Gerd Leonhard. ISBN : 0-87639-059-9 Cheap. Provides a *lot* of good background info. Read this the first week. \n* Darket -- Hollywood's war against the digital generation. [[J. D Lasica|NewMediaMusings.com]]. ISBN: 0-471-68334-5. Read sections of this later.\n\n\nRead [[this discussion|http://37signals.com/svn/archives2/itunes_99_cents_across_the_board_or_mix_it_up.php]] (also saved as html -- upload into Moodle) about Job's vs the music industry over the issue of 99c a song. There's an interesting exchange about copyright & piracy. \nQ: summarise the arguments and then 'Where do you, the student, stand?'\n\n
