Birthday gifts
Birthday gifts
04/09/2004 04:02 PMOn birthdays I like to give a gift. If I had a new beta of NetNewsWire
to post, I would, but it’s not quite there yet. Instead
I’ll just tell you a little about it.
After doing an upgrade just about every month last year, we needed to
take a little longer to do a bigger upgrade, to add a bunch of new
features.
I’m not going to tell you about all the new features today, but
I will talk about two of them. (There are many more... this just
scratches the surface.)
Browsing in place
This is perhaps the most-requested feature, the ability to view pages
directly in NetNewsWire.
Some notes about this feature...
1. NetNewsWire already uses Web Kit (the Safari HTML renderer) to
render item descriptions—in the current version, there is extra
code to prevent browsing-in-place from working. So the first
step in making this work was to remove code, which is not
what you’d normally expect when adding a new feature.
2. NetNewsWire, like many newsreaders, is a hybrid of email/Usenet
apps and browsers. This feature is at the very intersection of these
two types of applications, which makes it quite a user interface
challenge.
3. Even though this feature is requested so often, and even though
it’s demonstrably useful, a number of NetNewsWire testers were
against having it appear at all. They’re in the camp that says,
“Each app should do just one thing and do it well.”
I’m in the same camp, by the way—the disagreement comes in
when you try to define what “just one thing” is. In the
case of newsreaders, it’s increasingly obvious that browsing is
part of that “one thing” that a newsreader does. But, just
so you know, this feature is an option.
Weblog editor overhaul
The new weblog editor is a 99% re-do. The user interface has been
completely redesigned, and most of the under-the-hood code has been
rewritten.
There are several goals:
1. Make the weblog editor easier to use and, at the same time, more
powerful, with a more intuitive and more aesthetic interface.
2. Fix bugs (things like categories not always showing up).
3. Support more of the special features of various weblog systems
(things like image uploading, support for Movable Type and TypePad
keywords, etc.).
4. Make the text editor itself more powerful.
5. Add some other new features which I’m going to leave as a
surprise for now.
Anyway...
There are lots of other
new features to talk about...
But for now I’m just going to get back to work.

and a bit more of it floating in the air. I'm in the kitchen with four
kids: two are my own and the other two are neighbourhood strays
belonging, I believe, to the Lantz clan. I am brewing up a round of
the foamy hot chocolate I make with the espresso machine and for which
I'm enjoying a small degree of fame among the local 3-6 year old set.
I have Tom Waits' Pony blaring on the stereo and we're embroiled in a

Birthday wish list
Birthday wish list
01/16/2004 11:28 AMEvery year I wait till my brithday to make wishes and
predictions. Here we go.
1. That the PeopleAggregator get back up
and running - so everyone can enjoy what Eric Sigler has been up
to. FOAF is definitely the format for interchange of digital IDs
and beating on FOAF, pushing the rdf folks to do the right thing and
bringing FOAF into the mainstream - is one of my goals for 2004!
So GO ERIC GO!
2. The great work that Joi,
Weinberger, Doc, the Dean
Campaign and all the Emergent
Democracy folks have been doing - to help move this world
forward. I burned out on politics early - as my father is a
politician. Don't get me started! My grandfather was a
famous American Communist. So I leave it to you folks to change
the world. me - I'm just a micro-content, new kind of tools,
open standards, make up for my last company (which has locked people
into propreitary standard) kind of guy.
3. That folks would grok and adopt Matt Mower and Paolo
Valdemarin's k-collector and W4 technology. Turn knowledge
management into a good thing (from it's nebulous current
state!) Everything should have a topic attached to it! See
- I didn't even use the terms ontology, semantic web or meta-data!
4. Marc Barrot's WebOutliner rocks
and I hope that this is the year it gets out there as well.
Everyone should have their own on-line outliner baked into their app
and/or service. Long live OPML! And thanks to Danny
Goodman, Doug Baron and Paolo for helping!
5. It looks like 2004 is the year that I'll get to show the
world what I mean by 'new kinds of tools'. Let's just leave it at that
- for now. Needless to say I'm excited!
6. OpenReviews - this is something that is gonna
happen this year - as well. No longer will our opnions be locked
up into Data Silos. Folks - if you think blogging is big - wait
till you see how big OpenReviews will be! Notice how I don't
have a page to link to for this idea. I've been leaving the leadership
mantle open on this one - as I've got just too much work to do. I
tried to get Seb Paquest to lead it. Before that Noah
Glass. Maybe this year - someone will step up to the plate and
take off - building up the alliances, technology and marketing poop
needed to launch YET ANOTHER open standard. Wait! I know - maybe
Clay Shirky should do it!
7. There will be a number of examples of how to take social
networking to the next stage this year. Hopefully Tony Perkin's
Alwa
ysOn-Network will be one of the first. I helped.
8. I can feel it in my bones that this is teh year that digital
lifestyle aggregators will make their debut. No - it won't be from
Apple or Microsoft - though they're the ultimate competitors.
9. This is also the year for Laszlo and rich media platforms. I
can't wait for them to kick ass and stomp all over my former
company. From the moment I heard about and saw HTML, I knew we
had to move beyond that. Go bless multimedia. God bless
object-oriented client side systems that bring us forward.
Hopefully you folks will all have SoundBlox, PhotoBlox or
ReviewBlox modules in your blog gutters by this time next year.
10. And let's not forget ThreadsML, Open Calendar events,
Recipes and Resumes. There are so many open standards to develop -
hopefully ATOM will get us closed to doing that, while bending over
backwards and simplfying everything - to fit into the RSS 2.0 envelope
- as well.
And to you all - a good night.
Happy Birthday, Mac!

It's interesting that Microsoft
AntiSpyware (in beta currently) is written in Visual Basic 6.
Polished consumer-oriented
GUI like that is difficult to code in C++ because of all the
detailing work that has
to be done. Since .NET still hasn't reached primetime as a client
platform, VB6 makes
a lot of sense.

05/15/2004 01:08 AMDavid Ahl's BASIC
Computer Games (1978): I actually have a copy of this book in
paper, dug up in some used book store pile ages ago, but now, you can
revel in its full glories online.
Before there were sprites and polygons and first-person-shooters,
before there were there were teletypes chattering out lines of text.
And there were paper tapes for you to store your work. Right around
the time Richard Nixon was being kicked out of office, I was learning
BASIC by reading the code to some of these games. (We didn't get them
from the book -- they were just floating around on the minicomputer we
timeshared.) "Hammurabi," a sort of primitive, text-only SimCity, was
the one I and my circle of friends latched onto -- and proceeded to
amend. Because all these programs were free and, in the manner of
their time, open source. [Thanks,
Boing Boing and Oblomovka]
