The Man With The Golden Ear-Rings

It may be that I dreamed this. So much at least is certain—that I turned one day from the traffic of a city, and came to its docks and saw its slimy wharves going down green and steep into the water, and saw the huge grey river slipping by and the lost things that went with it turning over and over, and I thought of the nations and unpitying Time, and saw and marvelled at the queenly ships come newly from the sea.

It was then, if I mistake not, that I saw leaning against a wall, with his face to the ships, a man with golden ear-rings. His skin had the dark tint of the southern men: the deep black hairs of his moustache were whitened a little with salt; he wore a dark blue jacket such as sailors wear, and the long boots of seafarers, but the look in his eyes was further afield than the ships, he seemed to be beholding the farthest things.

Even when I spoke to him he did not call home that look, but answered me dreamily with that same fixed stare as though his thoughts were heaving on far and lonely seas. I asked him what ship he had come by, for there were many there. The sailing ships were there with their sails all furled and their masts straight and still like a wintry forest; the steamers were there, and great liners, puffing up idle smoke into the twilight. He answered he had come by none of them. I asked him what line he worked on, for he was clearly a sailor; I mentioned well-known lines, but he did not know them. Then I asked him where he worked and what he was. And he said: “I work in the Sargasso Sea, and I am the last of the pirates, the last left alive.” And I shook him by the hand I do not know how many times. I said: “We feared you were dead. We feared you were dead.” And he answered sadly: “No. No. I have sinned too deeply on the Spanish seas: I am not allowed to die.”

When looking at a sentence consisting of Japanese characters, how can you tell when words end and begin? In English each word is seperated, while in Japanese they all run together. Usually I can't tell if the character I'm reading is at the beginning, middle or end of a word. I've tried finding solutions that can help but haven't been successful. (ayns shoh)

As shoh y un ‘reggyrt v’ayn (wahll, ny h-ayrnyn scanshoil):

Hi, there are mainly 3 types of characters in Japanese, hiragana, katakana and kanji, excluding romaji which is the roman characters used to help foreigners for pronunciation.
...[soilshaghey ny 3]
As such, it's possible to write the whole sentence consisting of only hiragana characters. However, this will make the sentence difficult to read because many kanji are pronounced with not only one but few hiragana characters.
...[soilshaghey]
In order to know how Japanese words are formed, you need to have a basic understanding of the above 3 Japanese characters. You can go to the following pages to find out more on each character...
...
You may also want to refer to this page where there are many Japanese words and vocabulary available. You can then see how different combinations of Japanese words are formed.

I am not very sure why you cannot tell when words end and begin in a sentence consisting of Japanese characters. If you understand how Japanese words are formed (as explained above), you shouldn't have any problem with that.

The only problem I can guess is that you may be confused about kanji, because a kanji can be formed with few kanji. For example this kanji 飲 (no) is made up of 2 kanji 食 and 欠. While kanji are more complicated as compared to hiragana and katakana, the theory is the same behind how Japanese words are formed.

I hope I have not confused you further in my explanation. Let me you if you need more help. Or you can give some examples to show your problem.

A Mistaken Identity

Fame as she walked at evening in a city saw the painted face of Notoriety flaunting beneath a gas-lamp, and many kneeled unto her in the dirt of the road.

"Who are you?" Fame said to her.

"I am Fame," said Notoriety.

Then Fame stole softly away so that no one knew she had gone.

And Notoriety presently went forth and all her worshippers rose and followed after, and she led them, as was most meet, to her native Pit.

The Songless Country

The poet came unto a great country in which there were no songs. And he lamented gently for the nation that had not any little foolish songs to sing to itself at evening.

And at last he said: "I will make for them myself some little foolish songs so that they may be merry in the lanes and happy by the fireside." And for some days he made for them aimless songs such as maidens sing on the hills in the older happier countries.

Then he went to some of that nation as they sat weary with the work of the day and said to them: "I have made you some aimless songs out of the small unreasonable legends, that are somewhat akin to the wind in the vales of my childhood; and you may care to sing them in your disconsolate evenings."

And they said to him:

"If you think we have time for that sort of nonsense nowadays you cannot know much of the progress of modern commerce."

And the poet wept for he said: "Alas! They are damned."

Embedding mp4 videos in a Virtual Learning Environment

I recently finished a fairly long project to make a DVD collection more readily available to members of a university library. The DVDs are expensive academic ones, and the library is not that keen on lending them out. Also, this would restrict usage to one person at a time, which means if they’re assigned viewing for a seminar or assignment, life becomes very difficult. This being the case, the library got permission to make the DVDs available on the university network. However, for copyright reasons and to minimise the risk of piracy, access has to be restricted to only current members of the university, which means controlling access pretty heavily; they can’t just be made available over the internet.

The small faculty library have limited influence over the university computing services, which meant that bespoke viewing solutions were not really an option. For example, they couldn’t have a special password-protected page set up that would control access through user identification. For copyright purposes, something like this with by-user watermarking would be a nice solution; but technically difficult and probably expensive, even once the basic page was set up.

The chosen solution was to make use of an existing user-restriction system: the university Virtual Learning Envirnoment (VLE). The university IT service agreed to set things up, but for various reasons were eventually forced to drop the project. Obviously (as I’m posting this) it fell to me to handle it. I thought it might be useful to post a description in case any other poor sap has to do a similar project in the future.

A complication that arose fairly early was that the VLE would not (at least at that time) allow media files to be played directly. As a result, I had to set up embedded players within the VLE to play each set of files.

There were several basic stages to the project:

• Transcribe the content descriptions of each DVD for use on the VLE. Thse came as text pages on the DVD, (not files; still text images!) which would have been somewhat nightmarish to transcribe. Fortunately the library had paper handbooks that had accompanied the original VHS versions of the DVDs.
• Rip the DVD to .mp4.
• Create XML playlists for each DVD.
• Create webpages for each DVD with an embedded player.
• Create static webpages for the transcriptions of each DVD, and an overall DVD listing page linking to the individual embedded-player pages.

Some were trickier than others, but I’ll run through them all quickly.

Transcription

The paper handbooks were invaluable here. I simply scanned the pages and OCRed them to get the basic text. Naturally there were plenty of OCR errors to correct, some of which I picked up at the time and others much later.

Ripping

For ripping the DVDs I used Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/). This is a very useful bit of kit, fully open-source and GPL for those worried about it, and usable on Windows, OS X and Linux.

To rip DVDs with Handbrake:

1. Go to Options. Set the default folder to wherever you want this lot of files stored (which saves hassle later), and set up a filename scheme. This needs to be set for each DVD if you want the files named anything useful.
2. Insert the DVD and select “DVD” as the source.
3. In my case, the DVDs were fairly low resolution, so for space-efficiency and quick processing we chose the “Iphone and Ipod Touch” setting defaults.
4. Set audio however you want; in our case it was worth mixing down to Mono because there was only a mono track.
5. Select “Web Optimise”
6. Manually select the first track, so chapters “1 through 1”
7. Check the filename and path. Manually chance the prefix to .mp4 if you want .mp4s, as it tends to default to m4v.
8. Add the chapter to the queue
9. Change the start track to the next one. This will automatically change the end track, so you’re still only picking one track at a time.
10. Repeat until all tracks are added.
11. Open the queue, check all the tracks are actually there, and off you go. Ripping will take a while, so I suggest using a machine you won’t be needing for the rest of the afternoon; it might be safe enough, but there’s always a chance of causing problems if you try to work on it at the same time.

XML Playlists

A playlist looks like this:

  <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
    <title>playlist title</title>
    <info>main DVD page URL</info>
    <tracklist>
      <track>
        <title>number and title of track</title>
        <creator>copyright holder</creator>
        <info>filename.mp4</info>
        <annotation>description of track</annotation>
        <location>filepath/filename.mp4</location>
      </track>
...(repeat for other tracks)     </tracklist>
  </playlist>

Sections in red need to be filled in appropriately. In the case of the VLE I was working with, files seemed to need absolute paths rather than relative ones.

I wrote them in Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/), which keeps track of bracket pairs, quote pairs and so on, making it amazingly useful for this kind of thing. In fact I do all my HTML editing in NP++.

Pages with embedded players

The player I ended up using is called JW Player, available from Longtail Video (http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/). It supports both Flash and HTML5. I used the simpler Flash option as the VLE was liable to create enough problems, without worrying about browser issues. I believe the newest release of JWP (currently 5.9) may make things simpler, but haven’t tried it. I started the project with the January 2011 release (probably 5.0), and have not seen any particular reason to change over.

I downloaded JWP and unzipped it into a folder on the VLE. That’s about all you need to do with it.

Each embedded-player webpage looks like this:

<h2>DVD Title</h2>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../../media/swfobject.js'></script>
<div id="mediaspace">descriptive text that should not appear unless there are problems. I used it to include a warning that library catalogue machines could not play the videos</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
  var so = new SWFObject('../../media/player.swf','mpl','980','480','9');
    so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
    so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
    so.addParam('wmode','opaque');

    so.addVariable("repeat","list");
    so.addVariable("shuffle","false");
    so.addVariable('backcolor','52708b');
    so.addVariable('frontcolor','000000');
    so.addVariable('lightcolor','ffffff');
    so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
<p>Read the <a href="path/thisdvdsummary.html">written summary</a>
</p>
<p>Return to the <a href="path/maindvdlist.html">main DVD listing</a>
</p>

Static pages

The pages with transcriptions, DVD listings and other information were just bog standard HTML pages.

Folder structure

Just for completeness, here’s the folder structure I used for the project, with generic names instead of the specifics I used.

Main (root folder for the project)
    Main.Media (contents of the JW Player download, used to actually play the .mp4s)
    Main.DVDs (includes the homepage for the videos, and any summaries or transcriptions to the contents of multiple individual DVDs; the latter could instead have been in a specific Summaries subfolder)
        Main.DVDs.ThisDVD (includes the individual mp4s; the xml playlist; summary page for the specific DVD; and the embedded-player page).

Charon

Charon leaned forward and rowed. All things were one with his weariness.

It was not with him a matter of years or of centuries, but of wide floods of time, and an old heaviness and a pain in the arms that had become for him part of the scheme that the gods had made and was of a piece with Eternity.

If the gods had even sent him a contrary wind it would have divided all time in his memory into two equal slabs.

So grey were all things always where he was that if any radiance lingered a moment among the dead, on the face of such a queen perhaps as Cleopatra, his eyes could not have perceived it.

It was strange that the dead nowadays were coming in such numbers. They were coming in thousands where they used to come in fifties. It was neither Charon's duty nor his wont to ponder in his grey soul why these things might be. Charon leaned forward and rowed.

Then no one came for a while. It was not usual for the gods to send no one down from Earth for such a space. But the gods knew best.

Then one man came alone. And the little shade sat shivering on a lonely bench and the great boat pushed off. Only one passenger: the gods knew best. And great and weary Charon rowed on and on beside the little, silent, shivering ghost.

And the sound of the river was like a mighty sigh that Grief in the beginning had sighed among her sisters, and that could not die like the echoes of human sorrow failing on earthly hills, but was as old as time and the pain in Charon's arms.

Then the boat from the slow, grey river loomed up to the coast of Dis and the little, silent shade still shivering stepped ashore, and Charon turned the boat to go wearily back to the world. Then the little shadow spoke, that had been a man.

"I am the last," he said.

No one had ever made Charon smile before, no one before had ever made him weep.

Dooyrt Kotaku:

SOPA is miserably vague in so many ways. Its section that classifies streaming video as a copyright infringement susceptible to all of the aforementioned website-strangling, describes a potentially problematic video stream as follows:...

It’s no wonder that an outfit like the League of Legends creators at Riot Games read that and worry that a livestream of a great LoL match could be found in violation of SOPA the moment someone starts singing the lyrics of a copyrighted song on it. Is that really the kind of stifling of the Internet the writers of SOPA and PIPA are seeking?

Dreggyr Walker:

Yes! Yes it is. That is precisely the internet they’re seeking. It seems so outlandish that so many news outlets are phrasing it as if it’s a reductio ad absurdum, throwing their hands up and saying, “This bill’s so crazy it would lead to these wacky outcomes!” as if such a result is a parody of the poorly written nature of the bill.

This is to so frighteningly miss the point as to be all but helping those crafting such bills. By reducing the very intent of terrified industries – they who built their empires around plastic squares and discs that have since been rendered pointless – to a perceived exaggeration, something apparently so laughable as to parody the bills’ intentions, is to ignore the reality of what we are facing.

The terrified industries, built up around an illusion of digital ideas having physical forms, are desperate. Like a dying wild animal, trapped in a corner, they are lashing out with their last strength, and they will do anything, go to any extent, to survive. But it doesn’t matter how many children and grandmothers they sue, how many bands and singers they bankrupt and ring out to dry, how big their lies, nor how outrageous their political influence, the reaction is always the same: “They’ll be banning us from singing in the shower next!”

Yes. They will. They are so desperate for control in a world that is increasingly recognising their irrelevance that they are attempting to shut down and dominate everything they can.
