AT&T Wireless Offers 3G in Dallas and
San Diego
09/01/2004 09:52 AMAT&T Wireless said it is offering its 3G network in Dallas and San
Diego: San Diego should be a particularly interesting market as it
will be the first in the country to have competing 3G
services--Verizon Wireless already has its EV-DO network live there.
It will also be interesting to watch if the two networks seem to have
any affect on Wi-Fi usage. On a side note, AT&T Wireless cleverly uses
the term "metropolitan hotspot" to describe the service in the two
markets. That term is usually used to describe the stringing together
of Wi-Fi hotspots to cover a large region or by WiMax-like
technologies that aim to blanket a city. It's really a stretch to
compare the AT&T Wireless service to Wi-Fi. AT&T Wireless says its
network offers 220 kbps to 320 kbps, with bursts up to 384 kbps, while
even 802.11b, depending on how many people are sharing a network,
usually can deliver multiple megabits of throughput....

Living replica of set for TV show
"Dallas" -- in Romania
07/12/2004 02:11 PMBlogger and journalist
Emmanuelle Richard just got back from Romania, where she
photoblogged
these
incredible
snapshots<
/a> of what must be the Nth great wonder of the world -- a gigantic,
sprawling replica of the set of the TV show "Dallas." Even Larry
Hagman said it's a perfect match of the real thing, according to
Emmanuelle:
The florid theme park is not as glorious as it used to be!
"Southforkscu" as locals call it was opened in 1996 in Slobozia,
South-Est of Bucharest, by the King of Romanian cheddar, Ilie
Alexandru: he's one these egomaniac and corrupt nouveau-riche
entrepreneurs typical of post-Communist Eastern European countries.
It's like a cross between an amusement park and a luxury resort.
Originally, visitors could tour the ranch, ride horses, swim in the
swimming pools, visit a small zoo, enjoy the lake and climb the 50
meters Eiffel Tower. And of course, spend a night in the Dallas ranch.
Larry Hagman even visited! But Alexandru went to jail for fraud. A
string of investors have failed to revive the place. One of them, a
Russian dude even painted the ranch in ORANGE! The zoo is closed, the
horses are gone... The Romanian hotel chain now in charge wants to
remodel it, open a night-club. We interviewed the manager - pure
Commie style, just unbelievable. I don't have much faith in this guy's
management!
This artist Sean Snyder produced an exhibit about the esthetics of
the place "Script For Dallas Southfork In Hermes Land, Slobozia,
Romania (2001)" It went to Paris and Berlin (Link). This page contains details about the place and a pic of
the ranch before the paint job. It's quite surreal, especially when
you see the Eiffel Tower from the road, behind rows of
cornfields.

04/13/2005 02:02 AMMerger and acquisition (M&A) activity has accelerated significantly
over the past six months. Mindful of the high number of
well-documented and sometimes very public failed transactions,
organizations are looking to improve their chances for success. Given
that mishandling of people issues is often cited as the reason for
failure, many companies are demanding that those individuals involved
in the M&A deals be better trained to plan and execute due diligence
and integration efforts. In response to this demand, Mercer Human
Resource Consulting will offer its highly regarded two-day M&A Ready

05/13/2004 11:09 AMEurekalert is carrying a Tufts
University press release today describing new research into the
locomotion of soft-bodied insects like caterpillars. By studying the
nervous system and biomechanics of caterpillars the scientists hope to
learn how to build flexible (rather than jointed) robots. Caterpiller
robots could have applications such as crawling through human blood
vessels and organs. As part of the project, the Trimmer
Lab researchers are
subjecting caterpillars to MRI scans, biomaterial testing, 3D
kinematics
studies, electromyography, and hydraulic measurements. They hope to
have
a complete, physics-based computer simulation of the locomotion by
next
year.

Legless Locomotion for Legged Robots
Legless Locomotion for Legged Robots
01/16/2004 11:01 AMThe CMU Robotics Institute has
posted a new research paper (PDF
format) that proposes an unusual locomotion method for legged robots.
Ravi Balasubramanian, Matt Mason and other
researcher are attempting to solve the problem of a high-centered
robot
that has become stuck in rough terrain without any contact between the
robot's legs and the ground. Their solution? The robot can use its
legs
as reaction masses to produce "attitude oscillations that result in
incremental translation". They've tested the new locomotion method
using
RHex as well as their own two-legged
"Rocking and Rolling Robot".

12th - 14th (this week). The
photos show small one inch by one inch robots that use piezo
elements
for micro locomotion.
The little robots also have tiny tools that they can use such as a
micro hammer,
micro grater, dust capturing probe, etc. Electromagnets on the tiny
robot's feet let them lock down
to metal surfaces. The robots were created by
University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo Japan.
I wish I could go to the tradeshow and see all the cool little

Of late, with the latest version of Style Master released,
bedded down, and well received, I've been a little nostalgic about the
old days of CSS. So I thought I might try to ride that wave a little,
cast my mind back over my experience of CSS, and talk a little about
some people you really should be grateful to if you work with CSS and
web standards. Particularly some you might not have heard
of.
There follows a tribute to some of the unsung heroes of the early
history of CSS. And
if that's piqued your interest, Lauren Wood's recent post about DOM

PHP History
05/27/2004 03:13 PMPHP programming
language: Some interesting history on PHP. It used to be a Perl
wrapper?
PHP was originally designed as a wrapper around Perl by Rasmus
Lerdorf in 1994 to display his resume information and collect some
data, such as how many hits it was generating. Others first used
"Personal Home Page Tools" in 1995, which Lerdorf had combined with
his own Form Interpreter to create PHP/FI.
Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, two Israeli developers of the
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology rewrote the parser in 1997,
forming the basis of PHP 3. They also changed the name to its current
recursive form. After months in beta, the development team officially
released PHP/FI 2 in November 1997.

Movie Database - Wikipedia: An interesting few paragraphs on the
history of the IMDb.
The database started out in 1990 as a collection of shell scripts
created by Col Needham which could be used to search the FAQs posted
to the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.
In 1993, a centralized e-mail interface for querying the database
was created, and in 1994 this interface was extended to allow the
submission of information as well. The database then moved to a
Web-based interface, which initially ran on a network of mirrors with
donated bandwidth. In 1996, the project was incorporated in the United
Kingdom to form Internet Movie Database Ltd., and banner ads were
added to the web site.
In April 1998, the company was bought by Amazon.com, the current
owner; however, a number of the original creators, including Needham,
remained as site managers.
How many great things in the world started as shell scripts
somewhere? It's a hacker's world.

The History Of Computing, Or Some Of It
07/14/2004 03:00 PMWe found a gem poking around on the corporate network the other
day: a PDF of "The
History of Programming Languages", a poster by O'Reilly that
shows 50 programming languages and their timelines and
interrelationships. Chris posted back in March about the progenitor of this chart, Éric Lévénez's Computer Languages
History, which is kept very up to date (it already has yesterday's
PHP
5.0 release).
A few interesting tidbits from the chart:
- Ruby and Oak (Java's predecessor) are among the biggest mutts in
programming history, the former taking ideas from 5 languages, the
latter from 6.
- Noone has ever heavily borrowed ideas from COBOL since the sixties
(and even then, only PL/I did).
- BASIC emerged from Fortran and Algol160 (whatever that
is).
Equally interesting are the graphs that show the giant UNIX history hairball,
as well as the slightly more organized history of Windows.
If I can find a big enough wall, I'm going to send that history of
UNIX diagram to the roll-fed plotter we use for UML hairballs.

medical problems in the developing world. For a long time, it was
commonly assumed that cancer rates were lower in poorer countries than
in the developed world. A new study shows that as life expectancy
increases in developing nations, so do cancer rates.
Where you live and what you eat have a large influence
on the types of cancer you are at risk from. Richer countries have
more breast, colon, rectum and prostate cancer, whereas poorer
countries have a greater incidence of cancers of the liver, stomach,
and esophagus.

a tear-jerker for those of us who lived through this era, seeing old
friends like the Compaq luggable (mine had more wonky than usual
floppy drives) and catching a glimpse of a few I'd not known
about.
It also inspired me to keep on with my current tinkering project
goal (which let me tell you, is way beyond my limited
abilities): getting an Epson HX-20 laptop online via serial cable ->
IR -> cellphone. Of course, I've got to buy a working HX-20 first, and
every time I mention it on here, you bastards go out and outbid me on
all the eBay sales. Stop that.
