Dear #googleplus,
It would be nice if the Google+ API for a "checkin" item returned the cid of the place where the checkin occurred. It's a link on the post when you're looking at it in Google+, so it's clearly stored somewhere.

Nice epitaph:
Beyond the universe there is nothing and within the universe the supernatural does not and cannot exist. Of all deceivers who have plagued mankind, none are so deeply ruinous to human happiness as those impostors who pretend to lead by a light above nature. Science has never killed or persecuted a single person for doubting or denying its teachings, and most of these teachings have been true; but religion has murdered millions for doubting or denying her dogmas, and most of these dogmas have been false.

Google Plus API question: anyone seen something like this?
I do an HTTP GET on
https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me/activities/public?pp=1&key=AIzaSyC9UkqXjaoUryTgE3NIeYKTbMxUzhKZIZs

Then I want the next page of results, so I do a GET on

Having two, unbridged routers is massively inconvenient. The things
on 10.0.0.x, I want on 192.168.1.x and/or vice versa. The cable
company manages their router, which means I can't admin it. We have
it setup that way so that when it all goes pear shaped when I'm on
the road, the cable company is responsible for fixing it.
In theory, the cable company would be willing to bridge the two routers, but I've never got them to set that up, partly because it'd require tinkering with Deb's internet connection and that's never a good plan.

It seems appropriate to note here that I added support for Google+
authentication to the MarkLogic OAuth2 library. There must be real

Is OAuth setup/login for the G+ APIs significantly different/harder
than for other services (e.g. Twitter), or are the docs just more
opaque?

Oh freaking jeebus!
Look at this XML:
<Number1>Step 1.</Number1>
<NumberA1>Step 1.a</NumberA1>
<NumberAList>
<NumberA>Step 1.b</NumberA>
<NumberA>Step 1.c</NumberA>
<Number>Step 2.</Number>
<Number>Step 3.</Number>
<Number>Step 4.</Number>
</NumberAList>
<Code>code example</Code>
<Body-indent>Some text</Body-indent>
<Code>more code</Code>
<Body-indent>More text</BodyIndent>
<NumberList>
<Number>Step 5.</Number>
<Number>Step 6.</Number>
</NumberList>
<EndList-root>Another paragraph</Endlist-root>
That markup is supposed to be interpreted as if it represents this structure:
<ol>
<li>Step 1.
<ol type="lower-alpha">
<li>Step 1.a</li>
<li>Step 1.b</li>
<li>Step 1.c</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Step 2.</li>
<li>Step 3.</li>
<li>Step 4.
<pre>code example</pre>
<p>Some text</p>
<pre>More code</pre>
<p>More text</pre>
</li>
<li>Step 5.</li>
<li>Step 6.</li>
</ol>
<p>Another paragraph</p>
WTF!? Look where the NumberAList ends! The Number elements inside the NumberAList are supposed somehow to be elements from the outer list!? That unwrapped code and prose is supposed to be part of step 4?
It looks to me as if the number list wrappers are just a distraction. I should discard them and try to group Number and NumberA elements. Maybe. With possible intervening blocks. Oh, and sometimes with extra nesting implied.
Actually, I'm not confident that the XML really contains enough information to reconstitute the original. Maybe it does, but it sure is...convoluted.

Consider the following example:
<section>
<title>Some section title</title>
<orderedlist xml:id="l1">
<listitem>
<para>Item 1</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para xml:id="p1">Logically part of item 1.</para>
<orderedlist xml:id="l2" continuation="continues">
<listitem>
<para>Item 2</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Item 3</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<orderedlist xml:id="l3" numeration="upperalpha">
<listitem>
<para>Item 1.A</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para xml:id="p2">Logical part of item 1.A.</para>
<orderedlist xml:id="l4" continuation="continues" numeration="upperalpha">
<listitem>
<para>Item 1.B</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Item 1.C</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Item 1.D</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</section>
The para "p1" is logically part of item 1 because it's followed by a continued list. And the listitems of "l2" follow item 1 in "l1". The same kind of merge is true of para "p2".
But list "l3" is not part of item 3 even though it is followed by a continued list. Or maybe it is. Man, it's hard to tell. And I'm not sure this is even the most complicated possible example. What if there was a list "l5" before the </section> that was continued (but without a numeration), which list would it continue? Can that even happen?
I need to go back and look at the original Frame XML to see if there are more clues.
(The motivation to fix this, by the way, is that EPUB2 doesn't support "start" attributes on OL lists. So I can't just do the obvious thing and leave the lists discontiguous.)

No. I expect it's just general overwork. But still, the experience of trying to build something using HTML+CSS+JavaScript without any XML tools certainly left me wanting to rant a bit.
It also went a whole lot smoother when I built myself a little XML scaffolding and gave up trying to get everything done with an imperative programming language and hand authored divs and spans.

So. Zen. On Masterpiece Mystery I mean. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/zen/index.html
(aside: why can't I add a link from the mobile G+ client?)
Interesting detective. Good story, if a tad predictable. Italian detectives with English accents, kinda odd. And what is up with the 70's porn background music?
Tip for the producers and directors out there: if the background music is so loud that it obscures the dialog, I think perhaps "background" doesn't mean what you think it means.

On my desktop browser, at least half of the time I click on a
notification from the dropdown list, I get "There was an error
contacting the server. Please try again."
Just me?

I wonder if there's any plausible way of integrating the relevant
subset of my G+ stream into my weblog as I currently do the
relevant subset of my twitter stream?

A soft summer evening. A glass of wine. Some XProc Scala hacking.
And a neighbor with a chainsaw. One of these things is not like the
other.
For the love of all things you hold dear, would you please STOP!

A new anxiety for the socially awkward. "Some Body added you on
Google+." Shit. Do I know Some Body? Should I? They look kinda
familiar. What to do. What to do. Ignore 'em? Stick 'em off in the
acquaintances circle?

Just fiddling with the G+ app while code compiles. Nothing to see
