Welcome Adam

Welcome Adam 02/13/2004 05:42 AM
I delighted again to announce another new contributor to this weblog. Adam (aka snowman) is already quite a prolific weblogger � running useful.mac, everythinghurts.com, puzzleblog.com, totallyretro.com and (my particular favourite) everthingsoothes.com � so I’m glad he's able to share some of his time with us. Welcome aboard Adam!

What Adam Said

What Adam Said 08/07/2004 09:08 PM
A month or two ago, I got a call out of the blue from some guy I never heard at a recruiting shop saying “I’m looking for a reference on Adam Bosworth.” I’m afraid I gave the guy a hard time, first I took him for a prankster and then I ranted at him along the lines of “You’re talking about probably one of top twenty software people in the world, have you never heard of Quattro Pro and Microsoft Access and IE 4? What are you talking to me for?” To his credit, the guy was patient and explained that this was Google and Google is different. So I told him about my exposure to Adam over the years and all the things it’s painfully obvious that he’s good at, and I’m sure the other people they called did too, and now he’s at Google. But what I really wanted to say today is, go read his latest piece, he says in one paragraph what I’ve been raving about for months in the area of Web Services: “The really useful things turn out to be the simplest ones.” How many times do we have to re-learn this lesson? Anyhow, there’s more, and it’s all good.

March 17, 2004 brings gay marriage to Massachusetts, adding the USA to a short list of countries who recognize this union. Whether we remain on that list for long depends on whether certain people get their way.

It's official. I have a pr0n name, thanks to MyPornName.com - another sillyservice(tm) from Jason "We're Having Mexican - Get Over It" DeFillippo. He caught me in the act earlier this afternoon. Showing off gadgetry... not... doing something naughty with my naughty bits. In this particular picture, I'm demonstrating the proper usage of the "O" key. See, you're not supposed to tap it without sounding it out first. That's hell for Canadians, let me tell ya. Can you guess who's fingers those are... in the lower right-hand corner? Hint: they're not Sprocket's. Oops, I mean: Chaz Rage's....

Under NPTL, all threads in a process have the same PID. But sched_setaffinity() takes a PID, so how do you set the affinity for individual threads? This seems to be disturbingly under-documented. Adam Langley reports that gettid() is the solution.

Adam Bosworth comes to the light

Adam Bosworth comes to the light 09/21/2004 10:14 AM

I have this vivid memory of meeting Adam Bosworth out on Dave Winer's patio - back in like 1997. He (at the time) as an all-star at Microsoft - having just created IE and a key guy in the XML game.

Then Adam went to BEA and now Google.

He's now caught up with revelations about media - where I was back then - 7-8 years ago.

Welcome to my life - Adam - now we get to see what Google will do about all this.....

Can you say "digital lifestyle aggregator?"

See yah at Web 2.0.

Here's Adam's post.....

These days, like everybody else, my media is increasingly on my hard disks. It is on PC's, Mac's, iPod's and recorders of TV like Tivo although mine is a Time Warner supplied variant. As such, like everyone else I know, it has profoundly changed the way I view my stereo and my home entertainment in general. I don't want to build a stereo from a stereo company. Nor do I want to buy one of these "home entertainment" PC's. I have more PC's at home already than I want/need. What I want is a super simple way to buy an amp and speakers (of good quality) and just plug them into a box that in turn, talks wirelessly to all of my PC's and/or hard disks. think of the box as a preamp, but it can be a lot simpler than old ones because the only sound source and media source is ethernet and 80211. I want my cell phone to support bluetooth to the box so that I can use it and its screen and keyboard/keypad to pick the album, artist, movie, tv show, etc to play/record and I want the box to support record like a Tivo, but on my hard disks. Why my cell phone? Because these days it has a good enough screen to show me a list of artists or albums or shows and I use one with a keyboard, but even without it, it has a keyboard and pointing and then there is just one device in my life. No more remote hell. I'm OK with the slightly painful iTunes style of DRM although it is irritating. In other words I'll limit my personal use of the recorded media to 4 or 5 personal machines like laptops or iPods.

From my point of view, this is hard. I go into a PC store and they don't understand amps or speakers and try to push little tiny ones on me. They don't understand wireless at all. I go into a stereo store and they think I still listen to sound from CD's and video from cable or DVD's when again, I typically want it on my disks. They will sell me a flatscreen for $5K or more without blinking, but ask for a 1 terabyte hard disk which should be <$1K and everyone just stares. One terabyte can store a LOT of movies and songs and shows. I also want what great recording quality on my sound and the stereo stores seem to know nothing about this. I'm sure I'll here from Mac people about how this is all easy/possible on Mac's, but I did go into an Apple store and wasn't happy with their knowledge about amps and speakers and cabling and sound. Apple does something that makes no sense to me at all. They think that the iPod is the sound source and I need a remote control for it thereforce. I want the iPod to be my remote control (when I'm in range of a sound system AND I have no headphones plugged in) and then talk to my "box" that is playing media.

Imagine my delight w hen Adam Rifkin wrote....

Kragen recently said to me that

X HTML tables are the new CSV, and they're better than CSV because they have escaping. Also there's nicer viewers for them but that's besides the point.

It occurred to me that the use of modular XHTML for semantics is not a fad; rather, it points to a trend that Tantek Çelik calls microformats.

In my post on The Web Way, I mentioned having dinner with Tantek, which led me to rule 6,

Where it's useful, they should embrace microformats, a/k/a lowercase semantic web.

Tantek provides a compelling case for how The Awesome Power Of XML is best harnessed through tiny XML dialects usable for specific purposes. I agree; I've noted in my cata blog post (and the accompanying comments) that RSS is the single-biggest-real-world-useful example of TAPOX, and RSS is useful because it is tiny (and therefore easy to embed in applications as an input/output format).

Tantek talks with enthusiasm about the philosophy of microformats:

1. Keep the formats simple. Make them easy to learn and use. As Kragen noted, using an XHTML dialect gives you escaping and presentation control, making it easy to embed such formats in web pages with minimal effort.
2. Pave the cowpaths. Only create a new format to serve an existing application.
3. Get rough consensus and running code. Implementation in scripting languages such as PHP, Python, and Perl is paramount to adoption.
4. Get adoption by "real people". Only then will semantic (x)html move beyond theoretical discussions.

Tantek also talks with enthusiasm about a collection of microformats that represent the philosophy of microformats well:

1. RSS for simple syndication (though the jury is still out on its progeny, especially Atom, which seems to get more complicated as it goes through committee despite fi ne leadership).
2. xfn for human relationships (using the rel attribute; note that using rel is also an easy way to do ext end Creative Commons metadata).
3. GeoURL for location (using simple <meta> tags).
4. hCalendar for calendar events (mapping the commonly used iCalendar format to XHTML).
5. hCard for address books (mapping the commonly used vCard format to XHTML).
6. XOXO for outlines and blogroll-like subscriptions.
7. Attention.X ML for keeping track of what you've read, what you're spending time on, and what you should be paying attention to.

The Chairman and Founder of CommerceNet, Marty Tenenbaum, asserted his belief in a recent brainstorming session that

There are maybe twenty simple schemas that cover 80% of the potential uses of data in collaborative commerce.

Marty often conveys his enthusiasm for the ongoing social software trend to increasingly facilitate improved E-Commerce. When thinking of Tantek's and Marty's visions, I'm excited that thoughts on cata blog suggest that there are opportunities to create microformats for products -- perhaps the music, movies, and books that fill up peoples' typelists represent a good place to start.

[i findkarma]

OK - so wow - is all I can say!

Marty and Tantek agreeing on the same thing!

What's coolio is how Tantek has his own representations of digital identity, events and outlines. Whatever happened to FOAF, iCal and OPML?

Isn't standards building fun?

Looking for Adam Curry's Rocket Car of
Death 08/22/2004 06:08 AM

Adam Curry samples a portion of H alley's interview with me on Memory Lane on his Daily Source Code Aug 17 2004 - (1.2MB mp3 of relevant section). I'm talking about how I showed the chairman of NHK (Japan's public broadcast network) a video that I downloaded from Adam Curry's MTV.COM. I think this was around 1994 or 1995... It was one of the few video files on the net at the time. I used to show this video all the time and I told this to Adam when I met him at Bloggercon. He said he wanted a copy of the video and I thought I might have it around, but I looked and I don't have it. Sorry Adam! Does anyone else have it? It's a bit of Internet nostalgia and history that would be fun to have. Unfortunately, I think this predates archive.org.

Adam Bosworth: Loosely Speaking

Adam Bosworth: Loosely Speaking 06/07/2002 11:03 AM
The only real success story to date in the world of loose coupling is the Web itself. When people change the implementation of their sites, often in very fundamental ways, the browser continues to be able to browse the site. The reason this works is that the browser makes no assumptions about the site's implementation. The only thing the browser knows is the wire format (usually HTML) and the protocol.

"tri" Adam Bosworth is an interesting guy. He was Microsoft's XML guru and helped build the foundations of .NET. He also designed MS Access. Then some dirty business occurred, he left Microsoft and setup his own company, was sued by Microsoft and forced to resign from the company he founded. Now he's joined the Java camp, and is presently the CTO of BEA and a big advocate of J2EE :-)

Beta 05/24/2004 02:15 PM
The feature will provide synchronization of data from AD to ADAM and keep the ADAM data consistent with the source AD data. Application administrators and developers can use a configuration file and a scriptable command line interface to specify a filtered and scoped subset of data to be pulled from AD to ADAM. There will be no data written back to AD and the objects and values in ADAM are not “transformed” in any way. Object or attribute based evaluation rules cannot be implemented and all values from the source AD are authoritative so while the target ADAM app may extend the data, any shared data will be overwritten with AD data values.
