Word 2003: XML Toolbox for Microsoft
Office Word 2003 12/03/2003 12:40 AM
This toolbox assists the XML content author and developer working with the new XML features of Word 2003. The Word XML Toolbox requires that .NET Programmability Support is enabled. For .NET Programmability Support to be installed during the Office 2003 setup, the PIAs require the .NET Framework 1.1 already be installed. It is recommended that you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 before you install Microsoft Office 2003. With the .NET Framework 1.1 already installed, a complete installation of Office 2003 will install all of the PIAs.

A New York Times' reader has this little tale to tell in the New York Times city blog...

My 10-year-old daughter, Kate, is quite an avid an dknowledgeable baseball fan. Recently, while she was reading The Times, she asked for help sounding out a word she wasn't quite sure of.

"I just know it's a baseball word," she said. I went over to help her.

The world was subpoena.

Xeni Jardin: Not long ago, NY Daily News gossipist Lloyd Grove decreed his column a Paris Hilton-free zone, announcing that only if "she discovers a cure for cancer, wins the Nobel Peace Prize, launches herself into outer space - or even gets her high-school diploma" would the shark-jumping heiress appear again by name. Well, I've been guilty of a similar sin in 2004, and I hereby pledge to go cold turkey on the word "blog" for, oh, at least the next 72 hours. Today, there's news that dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster named "blog" the "Word of the Year," and that just feels like the last fucking straw. It's time for at least a temporary autokibosh. There. Hear that? The sound of the b, l, o, and g keys on my key**ard hittin* the **tt*m *f the trash can here in my *ffice. F*r a few days, anyway. Link

Word It is your opportunity to express in as many words, and as many other graphic elements as you need, what best describes each monthly topic. Each month we will choose a specific topic, idea or theme. For example: the first theme was “inspiration.” So you would go home, or do it at work, and find words, images, artwork, whatever that best describes what inspiration means to you. It could be anything: music, cats, chocolate, museum, love, laundry. Anything that reflects what inspiration is to you. You can do whatever you want to it: vectorize it, photoshop it, scan it or build it and then send it to us.

Getting the Word Out

Getting the Word Out 07/21/2004 07:32 AM
Dare Obasanjo: At this point I'd like to note that HTTP provides two mechanisms for web servers to tell clients if a network resource has changed or not. The basics of this mechanism is explained in the blog post HTTP Conditional Get for RSS Hackers which provides a way to prevent clients such as news readers from repeatedly downloading a Web document if it hasn't been updated. The functionality is clearly there in HTTP.  The word is clearly not getting out to everywhere it should be. Todo: Propose language for Atom that the Last-Modified, ETag, and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers that HTTP specifications indicates MAY be used in HTTP protocols, SHOULD be used in the case of Atom. Update the feedvalidator to provide warnings when feeds are detected that don't support these headers.  This would apply not only to Atom, but also to all flavors of RSS. I can't change the world, but these two actions I can take.

Hey, the case is over, and we've had a partial victory.

The entertainment lawyers agreed not to sue us, which we hear is the first time
this has ever happened in a copyright case. Our lawyers tell me this is a big deal.

I'm disappointed that the court didn't establish consumer rights.. but there will be
a next time.

More is available at the EFF site and in industry news.

I really appreciate your support, thanks! [craigblog]

Thank you Craig!  We need people liek you standing up to our rights!

Jimmy Guterman in Business 2.0 (subscription required):

2004 will be the year that blogs go mainstream, although doing so will not have the liberating effect that today's well-known bloggers are predicting. We won't enjoy some avalanche of great new independent presses tearing down the media monoliths or something similarly utopian. We'll just get ... more voices. The volume of blogs will mean that individual ones will lose much of their impact among the technorati -- and the technorati will lose whatever little impact they're having on mainstream media. In a world where millions blog regularly, pundits like Lawrence Lessig, Clay Shirky, and Dave Winer aren't celebrities anymore. As with other Net media (from Usenet to webcams), the old-timers will whine about how the good old days were better, but the movement of blogging from an elitist activity to just another thing we all do on the Net can't be considered anything but healthy.

This year, the broadcast television networks will bow to reality and start accommodating TiVo (TIVO) and the new generation of Net-enabled media appliances. Chief among them will be Sony's (SNE) upcoming PSX, which will unite TiVo functionality, massive storage, Net access, and a game console. The hybrid device has proven to be surprisingly popular in its initial just-before-Christmas release in Japan, and there's a nation of living rooms with too many knotted patch cords that need a cost-effective solution. Using everything from product placement to various forms of viewer participation, TV execs will finally deal with these new devices and find that there's life beyond the 30-second ad spot.

My corollary to the first one: Conceiving the Net in static real estate terms — "sites" that are "under construction," for example — will give way to more journalistic concepts. Writing. Posting. Linking. Replying. Commenting. Answering. Sourcing.

A whole new world of verbs and verbiage.

Possibly the most used application ever is Microsoft Word. The de facto standard word processing packing for most of the world, Microsoft has done an excellent job of adding more and more features to every release, making it harder and harder to compete against. Because of this dominance, there is a peception that the Macintosh platform is tied to Microsoft because of Word (and Excel), and many feel that Word is what legitimizes the Mac and separates it from competitors like...

The word syndication 04/14/2004 09:11 AM
Jason Kottke thinks we should stop using the word "syndication" to describe  what we do with RSS/Atom feeds.  I disagree.  He's right that what's happening now online is different than the classic print syndication model.  But the concept of syndication has always been broader than that.  As I wrote several years ago in the Harvard Business Review (and before that in Release 1.0), it's a perfect way to describe the emerging business model of the Internet economy.

[See note at the end of this post] Microsoft Word lets you view your document in several modes: Normal (=draft), Web page, printed page, outline, and print preview. Yet there's no view designed strictly for readers. That's too bad since many of us end up reading Word pages we have no editing rights to. If Word added a Read view, it could have special functionality: At the bottom of each screen would be Next and Previous buttons Adjust font family and size with a click of a button...and save your adjustments as a theme We could highlight text and have...

Word Clock

Word Clock 07/12/2004 08:52 AM

This probably pleases me more than it should, but what can I say? I have a soft spot for gadgets that think like I do. The Muller and van Dongen Word Clock is a simple bar that eschews traditional digital or analog conventions by telling time entirely through text. Instead of "12:00" you'd get "Noon," or instead of "3:32" you'd get "about half-past three." It's a pleasing way to take out the intermediate step between the cold, hard numbers and the way most of us actually perceive time.

And as one of FunFurde's commenters points out, Mac OSX users can add a similar function to their menu bar using "FuzzyClock."
