Internet "granddad" Vint Cerf says in the next decade, the Internet will stop being part of the telephone network; instead, the phone network -- along with most other communications channels -- will become part of the Net: "You are going to see a fairly dramatic increase in services riding on top of basic Internet infrastructure. You will see more and more layers of functionality showing up in the Net." Examples include new naming systems that allow objects other than Web servers and Net domains to become part of the Internet. The Naming Authority Pointer (NATPR) "allows you to take a domain name and map it into whatever ID space you want to. I think that's a sleeping giant because it allows you to escape the bonds of the DNS and move into new naming spaces that have very different characteristics," says Cerf, who adds that NATPR could allow such things as book or magazine ISBN codes to claim their own address space on the Net.

CSS Naming Conventions

CSS Naming Conventions 05/30/2004 07:03 PM

Here's a discussion about core naming conventions for CSS (via Anil Dash).

Reflexive Naming

Reflexive Naming 02/10/2004 02:56 AM
I’m working right now on the design of an XML vocabulary with an element whose name is attribute which has an attribute whose name is name. It makes it hard to talk about the XPaths without a lot of stuttering.

Naming for Performance

Naming for Performance 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

One of the not often discussed cause of slow performance is careless naming.

When you are naming a method that does more than get or set some value, try to avoid a name that might mislead the caller into calling it multiple times instead of saving it to a local variable.  For example, if a method is named GetTopicName, the caller is not going to expect it to search for the value and instantiate many objects in the course of doing so.  Instead use a name that implies and warns the caller about the cost of the method, like FindTopicName or CalcPrime.

When using a language that supports properties like C#, try not to turn heavy methods into properties.  Property getters and setters should be light operations.  If you have to, then try to precalculate the value and update on change via event handlers.  Failing that, try to warn the developer using documentation so the developer can use the property accordingly.

One caveat: Guidelines are not meant to be straightjackets.  Don't do it if you can't do it.

PodShanking: A Revolution in Naming

PodShanking: A Revolution in Naming 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

For moment, I was excited to hear about 'PodShanking,' the idea and term coined in this article on The Mod Gods (which takes itself pretty seriously, but they'll get learn how to hack a girl to give it up soon enough). The whole shtick is that they are doing iPod-to-iPod direct transfers, except they are really just using voice recorders with line-in to make low(er)-fi versions of analog audio, which means the picture they made showing a single 1/8th-inch plug is fairly disingenuous. Anyway, I have no point, really, except I'd like for someone to finally explain to me why it's been 3 years and nobody has hacked together a way to do a direct transfer of digital files via the bottom port with a crossover cable. Don't tell me it's too hard, just do it. I'll be over here making a sandwich.

Also, that 'Joel Johnson' in the comments isn't me. I don't know what the hell he's talking about.

Naming and shaming Apple UK...

Naming and shaming Apple UK... 07/11/2004 08:38 AM

Random consumer-action week on plasticbag.org continues today with a shout-out to my colleague Matt Webb, who has been having considerable trouble with his no-longer quite so new Powerbook 12". More specifically he's having considerable trouble with Apple's replacement and repair policies. He received the machine on Apil 30th, it went wrong on the 12th of May and he's been trying to get it fixed pretty much ever since. That's a full two months of effort during which he's gone through Apple's diagnostic tests, not had his computer picked up, had the machine kept by Apple for 28 days and then had it returned to him with precisely the same problem he started off with.

No. I've had people not call me back, an official complaint ignored, kept in the dark about time estimates, my machine sitting in a repair center for a month and not even picked up for 2 weeks. I'm not going through that again.

Customer services open at 9am Monday morning. I've talked with them before, they obey The System. They can't do anything. In fact there's no-one who can. If I don't do what The System says, there's nothing they can do. Enough. I've dealt with a broken product, tried to be a good Apple user and done what they asked. Enough. I've been writing down the time and length of phone calls to Apple, and what they've said, for the last month and a half. I've got the names of the people who haven't called me back.

Enough with official channels.

I want a new computer, one that works, and I want it not in a month, but now, as it should have been to begin with. I want an apology. If it were possible, I'd want the days I've spent on this back, because the time this has cost me, on the phone to Apple, doing tests, moving things around,is now worth more than the machine itself.

Both Matt and I are tremendous fans of Apple computers, Apple UI and the innovation that comes out of Cupertino. But this has been happening now for months. Just from watching it happen, I've found myself turning from a rabid Mac evangelist to someone who wouldn't want to risk inflicting this kind of insane process on anyone. My mother has been thinking of getting a new laptop - and I've been trying to move them to a Mac. But I can't put them through this kind of thing? Do the right thing, Apple! Bloody sort yourselves out!

Americans are naming their babies after
brands

Americans are naming their babies after
brands 11/14/2003 02:27 AM
Increasingly, American parents are naming their children after major corporate brands, particularily car-model names. A psych prof who's been studying social security rolls to gather info on child-naming for 25 years says that the 2000 data indicates a sharp uptick in brand-based naming, which he describes as the 21st-century aspirational equivalents of the Victorians who named their daughters Opal and Ruby.

He has found that car models are a popular source of inspiration; 22 girls are registered as having the name Infiniti while 55 boys answer to Chevy and five girls to Celica.

Seven boys were found to have the name Del Monte - after the food company - and no less than 49 boys were called Canon, after the camera.

Designer firms and types of clothing were also well represented, with almost 300 girls recorded with the name Armani, six boys called Timberland and seven boys called Denim.

In some cases it seems something else was on some parents' minds - six boys were named after Courvoisier cognac.

Naming Difficulties For Gaming Device

Naming Difficulties For Gaming Device 04/16/2004 01:11 PM
Well, this is just bizarre. Tiger Telematics has been working on a handheld gaming device called the Gametrac for a while now. While it hasn't received as much publicity as things like Sony's upcoming gaming handheld, Nokia's N-Gage or even Tapwave's Zodiac, it certainly hasn't been unknown. However, it looks like there was some legal skirmish over the name "Gametrac" and t hey've changed it to... Gizmondo. Um... Wait a second... Gizmondo sounds an awful lot like Gizmodo, the gadget website. If they thought they had naming problems with Gametrac, you would think they'd look around at similar names for their new device also. Though, come to think of it, Gizmodo's competitor Engadget sounds sort of like "N-Gage." Maybe it's a trend: having gaming devices and gadget blogs named after each other. Now, where are the lawsuits?

Naming-and-shaming on Slashdot: better
than hiring a lawyer 08/09/2004 04:19 AM
This is wild. ZiffDavis/EWeek sent a threatening letter to pocketpctools.com for quoting one of their articles with a link back to the EWeek site. About two hours later, on a Sunday night, a ZD/EW rep had managed to get the entire action abandoned and written a letter of retraction that Slashdot published. That's pretty amazing: I think that even the highest-priced attorney in the land would be hard pressed to get that kind of action in that timeframe.

"Hey! I'm the executive editor in charge of eWEEK.com -- and before this situation unravels any farther, I need to make a couple of quick clarifications about our reprint policy:

"While I haven’t gotten all the details about what happened, this legal warning to PocketPCTools seems to be a result of miscommunication within our company. We understand and embrace the principles under which sites such as PocketPCTools link to and excerpt our content. There are plenty of occasions when a professional media company needs to question the wholesale appropriation of its content or the use of its marks. From everything I understand about the PocketPCTools case so far, this is NOT one of those occasions!

"We're moving to correct the situation now ... PocketPCTools was apparently acting within the appropriate bounds of Web etiquette -- actually, doing us a favor by sending us the traffic -- and Ziff Davis was apparently mistaken in issuing this warning.

"My personal apologies to anyone inconvenienced by this error. We’re investigating the situation now and will act accordingly."
