Despite Various Lawsuits, ICANN Approves
VeriSign's Wait List Service

Despite Various Lawsuits, ICANN Approves
VeriSign's Wait List Service 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
I imagine that this is not the last we are going to hear on this topic. Despite lawsuits from VeriSig n and a group of domain registrars over this very issue, ICANN has moved forward and approved VeriSign's plans for a "wait-listing" service. The service is designed so that people can basically put in bids for domain names before they even expired, thus creating a master list. One potential benefit (or problem, depending on your point of view) is that it could act as insurance against companies who forget to renew their own domain. The smaller registrars claim this will harm their own business in selling expired domain names - which is likely to be true. However, not all actions that harm other companies' ability to make money are illegal. In many areas, that's just business. The real question, from a legal standpoint, is whether or not this goes beyond VeriSign's granted rights, and is basically allowing them to leverage their (legal) monopoly position into other areas. That's something for the courts to decide, but I'm sure many will find the timing of ICANN's approval (so soon after being sued by everyone) questionable.

From Wish List to Check List: Customer
Input Drives Microsoft Office OneNote
2003 Service Pack 1 04/20/2004 11:26 PM
In an academic setting, a score of 90 percent earns an automatic "A". By that measure, the team shaping Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 merits a similar high passing grade. When the innovative application debuted last October, it reflected the pioneering edge of the digital note-taking category. Today, Microsoft honed that edge by announcing the preview release of Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 (OneNote SP1). Ninety percent of the features included in the software update are a direct result of customer input and feedback -- with the remaining 10 percent coming from indirect customer feedback.

Don't Wait

Don't Wait 04/09/2004 03:58 PM
Michael Harrison, an English poet, was once asked how to become a good writer. He replied, "If you want to be a good writer, write. You don't wait for inspiration."

Don Box, co-author of SOAP, gives similar advice in the above link:

• Read fewer specifications,
• write more applications,
• write less code by using tools that generate code automatically,
• and remember that humans matter, so if you must write a specification, make it legible.

And John's advice is: "You can be hasty, but keep a backup!"

Microsoft Corp. has officially released its security-oriented Windows XP update, Service Pack 2 (SP2), to manufacturing, and said the update would become available to IT managers, consumers and PC makers starting next week. But while Microsoft is urging upgrades as soon as possible, IT managers contacted by Techworld say they are in no hurry to install SP2, which amounts to a new operating system, they say.

Don't make me wait

Don't make me wait 03/13/2003 10:15 AM
In 1988, when I arrived for my first day of work at BYTE, I was shown to my cubicle. On the desk was an IBM AT with two megabytes of extended memory. DOS extenders were just coming into vogue, and the ultimate DOS extender -- Windows 3.0 -- was still 18 months in the future. What to do with all that extra RAM? I installed OS/2 1.0. To have a multitasking and multithreaded operating system, right on my desktop, for my own personal use, seemed an incredible luxury. There weren't any native apps yet, and the Presentation Manager GUI wasn't available, so the benefits were purely theoretical. But it was fun to imagine what the future would bring: a system that was always responsive, and would never make me wait. ...

But Wait... There's More: MSBlockFlix

But Wait... There's More: MSBlockFlix 08/12/2004 04:31 AM
Yesterday, I wrote about how Blockbuster's Netflix-copycat offering seeme d pretty weak in that it didn't do anything more than Netflix and didn't really leverage their stores at all. Oddly, it appears they held back on a bigger announcement for one day. Now, comes the news that Microsoft and Blockbuster are teaming up to offer downloadable movies among other things, as part of the effort. Netflix has said in the past that they'll eventually offer downloadable movies, but this is one way that Blockbuster can go a bit further out of the gate. Of course, that would be true if the offering were any good -- but unfortunately, it looks like they're just bundling the incredibly weak CinemaNow offering, which has been described as "annoyin g to use," "agonizingly slow," and having a "pathetically thin selection." Not particularly enticing. The MSN/Blockbuster link will also let people buy tickets to movies. Basically, they're setting up a system so that you can watch movies any way you want -- download, delivered by mail, picked up at store, or in that (oh yeah) theater place. This strikes me as a bit more interesting, but the implementation appears pretty weak. Still, it might be cool if they started to combine these features. For example, they could give discounts to those who saw a certain movie in the theater, so they could get that movie on DVD later. Or, perhaps let anyone buying tickets to a remake freely download the original version. The movie industry still seems to be missing out on the fact that movies are more of a social experience, and they should think up ways to use the content to encourage more group movie activities. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen, as the main focus seems to be on making sure they get paid for each and every movie, rather than looking at the bigger picture.

Deprecat ing RSS Part II. Lockergnome drove some traffic to my entry about Blogware's RSS support that led to some interesting comments. TheRoss in dicated that we should probably just settle on one...but didn't make it easy to pick which one¹ :)

Winston took a slightly different tack - let users choose for themselves and avoid taking a religiou s position. I'm not sure I buy this. I mean, I get the sentiment - giving users control over how things get done is never a bad thing, but I'm left wondering if, in this case, that would be akin to letting the user pick which language we write the application in. Isn't it enough to allow them to specify whether or not they would like their particular blog to offer a syndication function to their readers? RSS might be a brand, but I'm not sure that publisher-users have the same loyalty to RSS 2.0 as they would to Tide?

Dave Winer, RSS 2.0 chieftain, chimed in with a feature request indicating that he'd like to see Blogware support the "...guid, comments, pubDate, and if possible, category" in our RSS 2.0 feeds. Done, done, done and done. We've been that way since the beginning, hopefully it does make things easier for various aggregators in the way that Dave suggests.

Through the discussion it became clear that there really is no "right" answer and also that no one really seems to give a rats-ass if we continue supporting 0.91. I suppose the bigger question is whether or not we build in support for ATOM. The problem with ATOM is that "its not just about feeds anymore". To do it right, I have to rip out a whole whack of code that deals with trackbacks, remote posting and feed generation and rewrite it to suport ATOM. We could also choose to only support a subset of the spec, but I'm more inclined to wait for an answer to the question of "why?" Why should we care about ATOM?

At this point, I honestly don't think that anything is going to change. Keeping 0.91 feeds in the UI doesn't cost us anything and users aren't going apeshit with support calls because we offer them three syndication options. And as far as Atom goes, well...we'll see I suppose.

¹As an aside, I'm not sure what TheRoss means when he says "if you value RDF"...I don't tend to value technology in the way that I think he's implying I might. If they are useful to me, then I value them, but I don't think that they are sacred cows in the sense of "standards must be preserved at all costs"...this aside is turning into a post of its own...to me, RDF (RSS 1.0) is simply an open agreed upon standard very similar to the standards that have gone through the IETF process whereas RSS 2.0 is a widely used pseudo-defacto "standard" that sits on a publicly documented specification - much more similar to open source software. In both cases, as an implementor, I have the option not to comply with the details that I think I know better about. It results in a non-standard implementation, or perhaps a fork, but the dynamics and risks associated with this type of behavior are well understood by the open (code/standard) communities. In any event, my point is that open standards/code only get my respect insofar as they deserve it. The fact that we didn't create our own syndication or publication specification should serve to speak to the degree that we support the current "standards".)

I got a coolio 6630 from Charlie Shick at Nokia - and I'm roaming around using it and it's fancy features. Sure hope loading data off ofit works - as it's my only camera I'll have with me.

I wonder where the plug-in for Lifeblog for MT is?

It's kind of fun watching Russ turn into a Yahoopster.
