Flu Season! Wabbit Season!
12/02/2003 01:03 AMEverybody in southern California seems to be falling ill, so I'm sure
it won't be too long before I'm KO'ed as well. Perhaps if I keep
enough green "liquid death" (read: NyQuil) coursing through my veins,
the bugs will remain at bay? Taste is the first thing to go when I get
sick - which would explain my sense of humor as of late. I've moved my
home office mini-television into the bedroom in preparation for the
inevitable. Even if I don't become the next witless victim, I'll be
able to fall asleep to Drew Carey reruns and wake up to Battlestar
Girlactica promos. With red hot Wi-Fi, I'm also able to stay connected
while under the covers. Adventure Elf, here I come!...

"The relational database is designed to serve up rows and columns,"
said BEA's Adam Bosworth in his keynote talk. "But our model of the
world is documents. It's 'Tell me everything I want to know about this
person or this clinical trial.' And those things are not flat, they're
complex. Now we have the way to get not only the hospital records and
prescriptions but also the doctor's write-ups."
The doctors and bankers will get that, just as the highway patrolmen
already do. XML documents, flowing through XML plumbing, can now
deliver very real and tangible benefits. For the publishing geeks who
started it all, it's a moment to savor. [Full story at
InfoWorld.com]
By the way, Adam Bosworth said a great many other interesting things
in his XML 2003 talk. For those of you not inclined to
watch
this QuickTime clip -- and in particular for the search crawlers
-- I would like to enter the following quote into the public record.

Bosworth: I admit to not being a REST expert and the people
commenting, Mike Dierkin and Mark Baker in particular, certainly
are. They tell me I'm all wet about the REST issues. I'll dig into
it. But I admit, I don't get it. I need to be educated.
I personally think that the place to start is to first tease
apart the "HTTP is the one true protocol" from the "REST is the one
true architecture", and then initially focus on the latter.
Once done, you may come back to believe in one or both of these,
but they can be addressed independently.
To draw an analogy, Java 1.0 did not have a component
model. A convention of getters and setters methods
corresponding to a property emerged. Getters always have zero
parameters, setters typically have one.
On the web, there is an analogous component model.
Resources have a GET and POST method (as well as a few
others). This is not one per property, but one per resource
(object). This encourages a coarse grained approach to
integration - something that scales better than fine grained
access.
Nothing in REST requires or precludes an equivalent to
WSDL. However, nothing in WSDL today models the interaction
that is typical of WSDL itself: "at this address is a document of a
given type. If you GET it, you will find a strongly typed
description of another resource (endpoint)".
Anybody with experience in database design will tell you that it
makes sense to focus a lot of energy on optimizing reads. The
web does this well.
Other principles that apply: all persistent resources have
identifiers. No implicit state.
I have further thoughts posted at
REST+SOAP. I'd also point to
The Eight
Fallacies of Distributed Computing, but alas, it has gone
404. (The concept of 404 itself is an important implication
of a REST design).

that the iPod, which doesn't support the Windows Media format, is

Game.Ars has a look at what supposedly happened to an insider at
Interplay.
After several months, money arrived via a bank-to-bank
transfer, i.e. direct deposit, but it was far less than my normal
paycheck. I tried to reach somebody, anybody to explain this. Calls
and emails to executives went unanswered.
Unfortunately, that happens all too often.
In addition, Game.Ars looks at the phenomenon of banned games
— blood and gore is ok, but uncovered female breasts are not. And
of course, there's all the week's gaming news. Read on.

REST & SOAP
REST & SOAP
11/08/2002 04:05 AMA presentation summarizing REST and SOAP by Peter Drayton, Program
Manager (CLR), Microsoft.
The thesis for my talk was that this area of
intersection (RESTful SOAP) is actually a good thing, as it provides
an opportunity for SOAP to learn valuable architectural lessons from
REST, and an opportunity for REST to benefit from SOAP's widespread
acceptance among corporate developers.

ReST vs RPC Redux
ReST vs RPC Redux
03/11/2003 11:53 AMIt looks like SOAP is destined to continue to be maligned and
misunderstood.
Dave Winer is
upset because not everybody limits themselves to his
narrow RPC profile of
SOAP usage. Non-RPC usage of SOAP isn't new - it was always
in the
spec.
And things that fit Dave's narrow profile continue to interop.
Mark Baker is
upset because SOAP permits usages which are not, in his and
many people's opinion, well architected. Usages such as
RPC. While many of Mark's arguments resonate with me, he
tends to throw the baby out with the bathwater. He might as
well say that Python is not a good language for building REST
systems because it can also be used for RPC.
Meanwhile, where Mark
throws up
his hands, others are
making progress.
REST vs SOAP
REST vs SOAP
03/11/2003 11:53 AMMy POW, FWIW:
The sweet spot is GET and POST of
XML Infomation
Sets. REST's content independence and SOAP's transport
independence are simultaneously both key strengths and weaknesses
of each approach. Both contain speculative features that have not
been widely adopted (e.g., DELETE? Content-Negotiation?). The most
underrated feature of SOAP is asynchronous messaging.
REST + SOAP is a powerful combination.

deals with iPass, individual travelers must look elsewhere for a Wi-Fi
subscription that includes many hotspots: Global Broadband Internet
Access members may offer a good option. Hotspot operators around the
world are part of the group and as such offer roaming onto their
networks. Most of the operators are in Europe, including The Cloud in
the U.K. and a handful of operators in the Netherlands, but Surf and
Sip is also part of the group. Currently there are 1,900 hotspots in
the network but that number should grow to 2,500 by the end of

"I'm just a student, so I don't have a lot of money to
blow, but I donated $165 to EFF, Public Knowledge, and Creative
Commons."
So writes Michael-Forest Meservy in an email, inspiring the following
plea:
I'm extremely honored to serve on the board of five extraordinary
organizations:
Creative Commons,
EFF,
Public
Knowledge,
Public
Library of Science, and the
Free
Software Foundation. If you can follow a student's lead, I'd be
grateful. These are five amazing organizations that need your support.
Ask yourself this: How much did I give to the monopolists this year?
We'd be happy with 1/10th of that.

12/25/2004 05:20 PM
So here's something cool that I'm happy to be able to announce. Five
years ago, I published
Code.
It's time for an update. But rather than update in the old fashioned
way,
Basic
Books has agreed to the following:
Beginning in February, we'll be posting Version 1 of Code to a Wiki.
"Chapter Captains" will then supervise updates and corrections.
Depending upon the progress, sometime near June, I will take the
product and edit and rewrite it to produce Code, v2. The Wiki will
stay live forever (under a
Creative Commons license). The
edited book will be published in the fall. I have donated my advance
for Code, v2 to
Creative
Commons. All royalties beyond the advance will be donated as well.
At this point, we're collecting "Chapter Captain" (CCs, of course)
volunteers. CCs should be expert in the subject of the chapter, and
willing to work through the Wiki to produce an updated chapter.
(Here's the
table of
contents.)
My aim is not to write a new book; my aim is to correct and update the
existing book. But I'm eager for advice and expert direction. If
you're interested in volunteering, email me at
this address.
I am grateful to Basic Books to allow me to try this experiment. I
worked very hard five years ago to learn enough to write Code. I'm
extremely eager for the book to gain from the collective wisdom of at
least part of the Net. No one can know whether this will work. But if
if does, it could be very interesting.

I guess that
Pocket Bit Pro 2GB USB hard drive wasn't the only USB device announced
by Sony today, although the rest are these Yet Another Flash Drives,
which Sony has updated across the line. The Pocket Bit U-Mini D
(USM-D) are 30 percent smaller than previous models in sizes up to
256MB. The USM-F include a fingerprint sensor for security, although
it only comes in a 128MB flavor. The USB-BMS is a 128MB model that
includes a Memory Stick PRO slot, which would make it a bit more handy
than just a generic Memory Stick PRO reader, if that's the flash
memory format you're locked into you've chosen. And
finally, the USM-E, which isn't really that special except that it's
the largest of them all, capacity-wise, at 512MB.
