Dare Obasanjo differentiates the
WinFS data model from the structures definable in
W3C XML Schema as follows:
The WinFS schema language and W3C XML Schema do two fundamentally
different things; W3C XML Schema is a way for describing the structure
and contents of an XML document while a WinFS schema describes types
and relationships of items stored in WinFS. [Dare Obasanjo]
As I see it, there are two major classes of XSD-governed XML
documents. Both are well-supported by Microsoft and by other players.
First, in the realm of Web services, we have SOAP messages wrapped in
WSDL interfaces. Over the past two years, thanks in large part to
Microsoft efforts which I've lauded, there's been a shift from an
RPC-oriented style of SOAP messaging to the document-oriented style
that better suits the coarse-grained, asynchronous, message-driven
architectural pattern. XSD is how we define the datatypes and
structures in those messages.

Insurance Company Offering eBay

11/17/2003 04:17 AMEveryone has heard about various eBay scams, and it's making people
increasingly nervous to buy or sell products on the site. So, along
comes an insurance company to try to help alleviate some of the
problems. They're offering
a form of eBay insurance, though it might not work the way
you would expect. It's targeted at eBay power sellers who are willing
to give up a small percentage of each sale for the right to display a
"BuySafe" logo. The logo is supposed to link to a site that will
verify that the logo has been approved. The insurance company
(Hartford) then insures that the buyer will either receive the good -
or the money they paid for the good will be returned. Of course,
they'll only handle claims that occur within 30 days of the sale, so
if the seller keeps telling you to hang on a little while longer, you
might be out of luck. Also, eBay offers their own service like this,
but the fine print is a killer. While the service promises to refund
up to $1,000, it
isn't
$1,000 per purchase, but $1,000 per seller. So, if (as did
happen) a seller with such a logo scams people out of a million
dollars, the company would split $1,000 among all the victims. Not
particularly comforting.

Body types
08/16/2004 08:19 PMBack when I used to compete in some bike events as a teen, I
remember that the sport tended to favor shorter than average men, and
even at the local level, the majority of top guys fell into a pretty
small range of body size and type. At the state and national level,
the distribution was even smaller, with almost every competitor being
about 5' 6".
It's kind of fun to watch the olympics and notice that on a global
stage, the distributions seem to fall the same way, with each sport
favoring a certain body type and seemingly 90% or more of the
contestants looking just about the same. The women's beach volleyball
is where it seems most obvious. You see tall, thin, tan women that
look as if they all just stepped off a beach in Southern California.
Then you see that they're from China, or Japan, or Switzerland, as
well as the US. Men's and Women's gymnastics, swimming, and diving all
seem to favor a pretty narrow body type as well. Anyone that's ever
watched college women's softball knows there's a body type for that
sport as well, and it's also easy to see the teams around the world
fall into it.
Every sport favors genetics to some extent, but I've always
discounted them and held that anyone of any shape could rise towards
the top if they trained hard enough. But at the absolute upper reaches
of a sport, falling outside the norm becomes a liability and when the
margin of error grows thin, you're going to fall behind the best.
I've always been an idealist that believed anyone could become
president of the US, a pro baseball player, or the next Bill Gates,
but when it comes to global competitve sports, it seems like winning
the genetic lottery is almost always required if you really want to be
the absolute best.
Two types of features
Two types of features
07/03/2004 03:24 PMAt every WWDC, with each OS upgrade, Apple offers two new types of
features to developers.
I’ll use last year’s WWDC as an example (since I
can’t talk about this year’s WWDC).
One one hand there are features like SearchKit, which make it easy to
add searching to your application. This is an example of an
on-the-side feature. You can add it to your application, but it
doesn’t affect much of the main body of your code. It
doesn’t fundamentally change how you write Cocoa apps.
The best thing about features like this is that I can use them and
just have them not show up if you’re using an older OS
(Jaguar).
On the other hand there are new features that change how you write
apps. Cocoa bindings is an example. This technology allows you to do
delete a bunch of user interface code: it makes it easier to bind your
user interface to your data and preferences. But this technology goes
to the heart of your application. There’s no putting it on the
side (as with searching).
So at WWDC I found myself looking at each feature and figuring out if
it’s an on-the-side or in-the-heart-of-the-app feature. While
I’m grateful for all the cool on-the-side features I can use, I
look at the in-the-heart features and dream about them. Someday...
The common wisdom is that you support the current operating system
minus one. Right now that means Panther and Jaguar. When Tiger ships,
it will be Tiger and Panther.
But what that means is that two years after learning about
Cocoa bindings I’d finally be able to use the technology.
So what I wonder is, is the common wisdom wrong? Given all the major
new technologies in each OS release, would another rule—a
six-month rule, perhaps—make more sense? (Support the current OS
plus whatever was current six months ago.)
The obvious benefit is better software. The drawback is that
there are people still using operating systems more than six months
old.
I’m just thinking out loud here. Feedback is welcome.

Wi-Fi Alliance Adds Four EAP Types to
Certification
Wi-Fi Alliance Adds Four EAP Types to
Certification
04/12/2005 10:44 AM EAP types define how 802.1X transaction are conducted with what
credentials and encryption: The Wi-Fi Alliance has added
EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2, PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2, PEAPv1/EAP-GTC, and EAP-SIM.
EAP-TLS has been a part of the certification testing since WPA was
introduced because, as one alliance member explained to me, you
couldn't test all of WPA without having at least one secured EAP type
involved so that 802.1X could be tested in a reasonable manner.
Devicescape and Meetinghouse supplicants join Funk and Microsoft
clients in the testbed. These several types represent most of the
secure EAP in use. Interestingly, this article says that WPA2 was
released in Sept. 2004. I know that certified devices have slowly been
hitting the market and mandatory inclusion of WPA2 is scheduled for
later this year. I was dealing with a new baby in September and so I
somehow missed this and subsequent WPA2 announcements, but so did many
of my colleagues. The press release notes that the alliance has
produced a white paper on deploying WPA and WPA2 in the enterprise,
which is surely good reading....
