Upgraded to MovableType 3.121 and TypeKey

Spent tonight upgrading to MovableType and TypeKey.

I finally got fed up with deleting spam comments, even with MT-Blacklist on. In one day I had over 100 comment spams.

So, with TypeKey, that should all stop. I feel bad for those that want to leave comments, but don't have a TypeKey account, though. Comments are what make blogs interesting (otherwise it's just Soapboxlog). So hopefully TypeKey has critical mass to use.

I've thought about How FOAF and SemWeb can help the blog comment problem before. Not sure if that's relevant anymore. I would hope that all this FOAF and semweb technologies could help to solve this problem.

Anyhoot, looks like we're back in business. I still have FOAF linked to every page. And my RSS 1.0 Feed still has RDF triples describing the comments. I think I need to update it now to include FOAF.

If other blogs included RDF about comments, and their authors, we could get a real trust network going with a context of "allowed to post in blogs".

Lists and arrays in Dart

(This is Part 3 in a series about Dart. Check out Part 2, Function in Dart .) Warning : We expect the Dart libraries to undergo potentially sweeping changes before Dart goes to alpha. This document is relevant as of 2011-12-22. Intro Dart is a "batteries included" effort to help app developers build modern web apps. An important "battery" is the bundled core Dart libraries, providing common and rich functionality. Dart is building a solution for large, complex web apps, and providing well tested, integrated, and common libraries is key to helping a web app developer be more productive out of the box. The Collection libraries are a crucial set of APIs that Dart developers get for free. Much more than simple arrays and maps, the Collection library includes standard ways to filter, iterate, inspect, compose, and sort your data. This post specifically looks at List<E> , Dart's ordered, indexable collection of objects. Aside: The Dart project is lucky...

Converting Array to List in Scala

Now, this has to have a built-in somewhere in Scala , because it just seems too common. So, how to convert an Array to a List in Scala? Why do I need this? I needed to drop to Java for some functionality, which in this case returns an Array. I wanted to get that Array into a List to practice my functional programming skillz. **Update**: I figured out how to convert Arrays to Lists the Scala way. Turns out it's a piece of cake. val myList = List.fromArray(Array("one", "two", "three")) or val myList = Array("one","two","three").elements.toList The call to elements returns an Iterator , and from there you can convert to a List via toList . Nice. Because my first version wasn't actually tail recursive, what follows is a true tail recursive solution, if I were to implement this by hand. The above, built in mechanism is much better, though. object ArrayUtil { def toList[a](array: Array[a]): List[a] = { d...
