New Design Tinkering

New Design Tinkering 04/17/2005 04:38 AM

I'm playing with a new design for this site. My old site was basically a "temple of ego" that covered just about everything I was doing online and when I stripped it all away to start over, I knew eventually I wanted to bring back a bit of the clutter.

I just started working on this CSS monstrosity and it's only applied to the main index page at present, but I hope to refine it over the following week and mold it into something more attractive and orderly. For now, I figured I might as well redesign in public, warts and all.

Oh, and be sure to use Firefox or Safari to view it, IE/win can't understand any of the first-child, first-line CSS nor any of the png backgrounds.

Tinkering with the Tyranny of Copyright
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/25/magazine/25COPYRIGHT.html

William Fisher, director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, has turned his attention to solving the seemingly intractable conflict between the recording industry and file-sharing music fans. His proposed plan, which would enable the entertainment industry to restructure its business model without resorting to micropayments, could also have ramifications for copyrighted digital text-based content. As a first step, all works capable of being transmitted online would be registered with a central office, which would then monitor how frequently the work is used. The work's creator would be compensated on that basis using funds collected via a tax on various content-related devices, such as DVDs, blank CDs or digital recorders. Fisher agrees that such a radical overhaul of the current system would be difficult in today's tax-phobic political environment, but he says that his ideas have been received with great interest by the music and home video industries whose business models are under siege. Fisher says that the likeliest locale for putting his ambitious scheme to work would be in countries such as Croatia or Brazil, which are neither so developed that they have signed on to international copyright protocols nor so underdeveloped that they are desperate to do so. "The hope is in the rainforest," says Fisher, in countries that "are more like the United States was before 1890, when we were a 'pirate' nation." As to whether such a system would ever work in the U.S., Fisher says perhaps after the various current schemes fail, his approach will be more attractive: "What is involved here is nothing less than the shape of our culture and the way we think of ourselves as citizens."

Gates: Microsoft Will Build
Interoperable Software By Design

Gates: Microsoft Will Build
Interoperable Software By Design 02/05/2005 09:46 PM
In an email to business chiefs made public today, Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft, discussed the companies plans to make their software more interoperable with other systems.

"Interoperability is more pragmatic than other approaches, such as attempting to make all systems compatible at the code level, focusing solely on adding new layers of middleware that try to make all systems look and act the same, or seeking to make different systems interchangeable. With a common understanding of basic protocols, different software can interact smoothly with little or no specific knowledge of each other. The Internet is perhaps the most obvious example of this kind of interoperability, where any piece of software can connect and exchange data as long as it adheres to the key protocols.

Simply put, interoperability is a proven approach for dealing with the diversity and heterogeneity of the marketplace. Today I want to focus on two major thrusts of Microsoft’s product interoperability strategy: First, we continue to support customers’ needs for software that works well with what they have today. Second, we are working with the industry to define a new generation of software and Web services based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), which enables software to efficiently share information and opens the door to a greater degree of "interoperability by design" across many different kinds of software.

Our goal is to harness all the power inherent in modern (and not so modern) business software, and enable them to work together so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We want to further eliminate friction among heterogeneous architectures and applications without compromising their distinctive underlying capabilities."

Gates continued to talk about how Microsoft planned to implement these ideas, and how it already had; Gates pointed to Office 2003 as an example of the company making use of XML technology. He also made the point that "interoperability is also confused with open source software". Microsoft face tough competition from Linux based products which are open source and allow users to modify the underlying system code. Part of the recent European Union judgement on Microsoft involved making the company make it easier for other software vendors to inter opt with their products. Previous messages from Gates delivered in a similar manner have proved to be major policy changes for Microsoft.
