Food Trouble
I've recently had some visits to the doctor that are resulting in diet changes. I've got some heavy issues with hypoglycemia and some recently uncovered allergies to dairy, wheat, almonds and eggs. (PI7)
Almonds and eggs were being a staple of my diet. No more. (PI8)
One tool I'm told is helpful when dealing with these sorts of diet changes is a food diary. I've decided to keep one in a Socialtext Eventspace as that seems to have some nice eating my own dog food thematic balance to it. (PI9)
Feel free to follow along over there if you are inclined. I'll also be using this as an opportunity to experiment with the application. (PIA)
Yes, thanks, I already know it's slow. The fix is in the chute. (PIB)

Should Regret
When I was younger, my friends, lovers and associates would pride themselves with statements similar to "I have no regrets" or "If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change anything". I was suspicious of that feeling then and know it to be utter bullshit now. I have regrets. I have things I would change. (PHT)
I'm in Bloomington for a couple of weeks and while enjoying a showing of films from the Banff Film Festival I reconnected with a regret, a thing I would change. Two of the films were about sled dogs. (PHU)
Sometime in the mid-nineties I had the pleasure to take a trip to Alaska with my girlfriend at that time, and her family. We travelled around many places. Saw many wonderful things. The night before entering Denali National Park we stayed in a charming and remote bed and breakfast. The owners were also sled dog trainers: on one section of the property were between ten and twenty dogs of various breeds, destined for a sledding life, maybe someday the Iditarod. (PHV)
In the evening I walked out amongst the dogs and enjoyed their presence and they seemed to enjoy mine. The owner noticed and invited me to be that year's intern. The intern winters in the bed breakfast, gets room and board, a minor stipend and is responsible for running the dogs. They warned me it was dark, lonely, cold but rewarding. I was intrigued, fascinated, excited but confused. (PHW)
The value of the offer was immense. Alaska had been calling out to me for many years. When the plane landed in Anchorage I thought, "I made it, I can die now." Adding in the dogs gave some substance to an abstract yearning that had always been around. (PHX)
I had come to Alaska with the woman I loved and though she said perhaps I should take the offer, in the end I chose to return with her to the life we were trying to make back in the real world. (PHY)
That relationship eventually failed. I regret not staying with the dogs. It is not, though, a simple case of "shit, if I knew this was going to go south I could have hung with the dogs". I regret not hanging with the dogs because hanging with the dogs is what I wanted to do and hanging with my girlfriend was what I felt like I should do and needed to do. (PHZ)
I regret the existence of should. (PI0)

Kwiki-Trackback
There's no reason why blogs should have all the trackbacking fun. I've just finished a trackback plugin for Kwiki that lets any Kwiki page be the recipient of a trackback ping. (PHE)
It's always been the case that it is the connections between things that matter as much or more than the things themselves. (PHF)
The plugin is available at CPAN. It is running at this wiki, which should be getting a ping from this blog entry when I save it. (PHG)

Purple Numbers for Attention Management
Raymond M. Kristiansen is thinking about attention: (PGZ)
Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow fuse our different infoclouds? To let the information stream seamlessly between our mail accounts, our own computers and the internet (p2p style, where I define my open folders) and between our own blogs and the blogs of others (includeing our comments on other people's blogs). PS (PH0)
This nicely describes the long term goal of the Purple suite of tools and ideas (PurpleNumbers, GranularAddressability, TransClusion, PurpleNet, PurpleNetwork and friends). In a fully fleshed out purple universe, all chunks of content are individually addressable and reusable (as micro content, if that's your preferred term) throughout the network, with flexible access control. (PH1)
All your stuff exists in your pool. All my stuff exists in my pool. Anything that I say you can reuse is accessible by you with a straightforward identifier that points not to a particular page, but to the individual paragraphs, headers or list items within. This same model could be extended to audio and video as well. (PH2)
The identifiers will be unique across the entire system, making them resilient in the face of edits, even edits that move the content across domains. (PH3)
In the present day, purple numbers remain limited to single server implementations (there is experimental support for multiple server using tools). The Blue Oxen Collaboratories have a fairly integrated set of tools that use purple numbers, and the Indiana University Knowledge Base developers and editors use purple numbers extensively in their daily work through a network of mailing list archives, rt, blogs, irc tools, wikis and document repositories that use purple numbers and transclusion. (PH4)
The systems provide what amounts to a shared infocloud for the participants where there attention and cognition is supported by an available but not in their face network of addressable information. (PH5)
I'll try to flesh out some more details in a later entry. (PH6)
Update: I've pointed to the quotation with PurpleSlurple, I'm ashamed I forgot. (PHC)
