English-speaking immigrants 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Immigrants to the UK from English-speaking countries such as Canada and Australia must pass an English proficiency test in order to gain UK citizenship. The test is apparently very stringent:

That's almost worse than the Bluetake Headsets. (Thanks, Allen!)

It's available in three forms: A free demo version that's limited to applications of 75 program lines in length or less; a US$53 Lite version limited to 5000 program lines, and a $107 Pro version limited to 65535 program lines.

Oracle 9i is a native XML database

Oracle 9i is a native XML database 06/27/2002 02:08 AM
At this point I have to say there's little reason for products like Software AG Tamino to exist anymore. Even if there is some speed advantage to Tamino and brethren, it's simply lacking in almost every other regard. This is especially damning given that Tamino and brethren will cost more for most simple implementations. There's plenty of room for native XML databases to play in smaller apps and for apps requiring DTDs, but when it comes to large corporate repositories of data, there's really no reason now to go away from the existing relational databases. I expect IBM and Microsoft to be coming out with products of similar power in the near future. -- Kimbro Staken

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

This is new to me. I was checking out the nightly builds of Firebird 0.8 betas (windows and linux, mac< /a>) and they' ve got an rss button and panel that parses RSS, with titles linking to the main window. Slick, but they need to let you track which ones have new/old items.

update: It turns out I'm actually a dumbass. I installed this RSS extension so long ago I forgot about it, and because I never saw it show up in any menu, I figured it never "took" on my Firebird install. Then when I had the new nightly build the toolbars were out of whack on first run so I went to customize them and saw the RSS button for the first time, and assumed it came with Firebird 0.8. My bad.

Talis Moving Towards Native RSS Feeds,
Too?

Talis Moving Towards Native RSS Feeds,
Too? 02/01/2005 10:10 PM

Last week, Paul Miller left a comment on this site saying that Talis, an ILS vendor in the U.K., had blogged some ideas about RSS in the catalog. I meant to get back to it, but didn't until today when I also saw a link to Talis RSS Feed via del.icio.us/rss.

So first of all, blogged?? An ILS vendor is blogging?? Heck, yeah. Check out Panlibus here! The RSS post is titled RSS Is Not Just Another TLA, and it includes a discussion about patron data feeds. Go and score, Talis!

Even better, it's an interesting blog, comprised of musings and reflections by Talis staff. They even blogged last week's ALA Midwinter conference. I'm subscribed (feed here)!

When you're done there, check out their explanation of RSS, which is where you'll also find a link to their company RSS feed! There's even an RSS heart and an easy-to-find link to the feed on their home page! Goal-o!

All of which has to make you think that they're on the verge of offering native RSS feeds out of the catalog. That would make two vendors, and I've now heard about two others that are working on it. If just those four vendors go live with feeds this year, I think we'll have an official tipping point!

Sony May Support Native MP3 (What Took
You So Long?)

Sony May Support Native MP3 (What Took
You So Long?) 09/22/2004 04:23 PM

Oh ho! Sony, who I had already pretty much counted out of the portable music game, has just stepped back up to the plate with the announcement (which makes for really boring baseball, really) that they will be supporting MP3 on their players, starting with flash players and going from there. That's the good news. The bad news is that their plans aren't official yet, so they could still drop the ball if they aren't careful. Oh, and there's nothing saying that the existing product line - on which millions of dollars worth of marketing and distribution have been slathered - will be able to be upgraded to support native MP3 playback.

Figure it out, Sony! And hurry!
