Five years of bringing Linux to the Feds

Five years of bringing Linux to the Feds
first-hand 03/08/2004 11:28 PM
Tim Bogart, a mainstay of the Northern Virginia Linux Users Group (NoVaLUG), is getting ready for the group's fifth annual appearance at FOSE, the Federal Office Systems Exposition. The LUG setup is always among the most humble ones, seemingly lost in the midst of flashy displays from commercial hardware and software vendors hoping for a piece of the federal pie, but it is always one of the busiest spots on the show floor. Tim and I chatted via IM a few days ago. This edited transcript of our conversation can and should serve as an "advocacy guide" for other LUG activists who want to do effective Linux promotion at computer expositions that are not all about Linux -- which are often the kind of shows where LUG advocacy does the most good.

Get Ready for Some Hand-to-Hand Combat
(washingtonpost.com) 05/07/2004 10:46 AM
washingtonpost.com - Cue up the "dueling handhelds" theme: The video game wars are starting anew, with competitors Nintendo and Sony in a fierce fight for victory on the handheld gaming battlefield.

The NYT is reporting that AOL is providing software to customers to block pop-ups. The sheer number of ironies in this article is simply delicious, and renders further comment unnecessary: 1) "AOL pioneered the often annoying but effective pop-up format" 2) "10 percent of its users had chosen not to receive pop-ups from AOL's own service, an option that has been harder to find than the new blocking software." Hard to find? Almost impossible. 3) "the number of sites that will accept pop-ups is increasing, including ever more sites owned by AOL Time Warner like Mapquest and CNN.com."

Software That Lasts For Years And Years

Software That Lasts For Years And Years 07/14/2004 06:51 PM
We were just talking about the rise of quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming, and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level "big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed the problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin is now suggesting that people need to start designing "Societal Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though, Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming, though not necessarily the way people view open source programming today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas will actually catch on.

Creative, cheap, participatory, the most innovative city in the world......Curitiba !! There may be no single, organic and living font of solutions to many of the world's most pressing problems than Curitiba (previous link from Wikipedia, and a bit more of a wonkish summary he re), a Brazilian city of 1.5 million that urban planners from around the globe make pilgrimages to, to learn.

On a budget a tiny fraction of those which American cities have at their disposal, how did Curitiba become the world's leading model for urban sustainability and quality of life ? - with possibly the world's most efficient and effective public transit system, a network of parks and greenery far beyond Olmsted's visionary parks, 70% trash recycling, innovative social welfare systems, trees everywhere, and "Lighthouses of Knowledge" with small libraries and free internet access as well, a low cost open university system.....and flowers! Curitiba's pedestrian-only (no cars) city center is filled with gardens.

An Invisible Hand? - An Unexplained Effect During Solar Eclipses Casts Doubt on General Relativity
http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3104321

“ASSUME nothing” is a good motto in science. Even the humble pendulum may spring a surprise on you. In 1954 Maurice Allais, a French economist who would go on to win, in 1988, the Nobel prize in his subject, decided to observe and record the movements of a pendulum over a period of 30 days. Coincidentally, one of his observations took place during a solar eclipse. When the moon passed in front of the sun, the pendulum unexpectedly started moving a bit faster than it should have done. Since that first observation, the “Allais effect”, as it is now called, has confounded physicists. If the effect is real, it could indicate a hitherto unperceived flaw in General Relativity—the current explanation of how gravity works. That would be a bombshell—and an ironic one, since it was observations taken during a solar eclipse (of the way that light is bent when it passes close to the sun) which established General Relativity in the first place. So attempts to duplicate Dr Allais's observation are important. However, they have had mixed success, leading sceptics to question whether there was anything to be explained. Now Chris Duif, a researcher at the Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands, has reviewed the evidence. According to a paper he has just posted on arXiv.org, an online publication archive, the effect is real, unexplained, and could be linked to another anomaly involving a pair of American spacecraft.

This feels more like a browser hand-over, with Internet Explorer offering no resistance as home and business users download the Mozilla-based Firefox browser and (to borrow the Firefox slogan) "take back the Web."

A Dremel in the hand...

A Dremel in the hand... 04/12/2004 06:11 AM

When I was a bartender, I learned to believe in the power of the full moon. I never bought into the whole idea of celestial bodies determining behaviour such as horoscopes, but I overcame my scepticism after too many nights of full moon freaks. It isn't a full moon and I don't know if there is a celestial convergence, but there are an awful lot of people lately who either need a good trepanning by a qualified mental dentist in possession of a good quality Dremel or a fleet enema.

Jarkko was on holiday last week and we did a few fun things that I have been scanning the photos from over the last day or three. So, there are a number of photos coming up soon. Tomorrow, we go shopping for a decent photo scanner since negative/photo scanners are a lot cheaper than the last time I looked five years ago.

And, if you live in Finland and understand English, Meng Weng Wong was nice enough to set me up with a mailing list since I have near epileptic fits over excessive use of animated smileys on the wailing wall and mailing lists are a lot easier to manage, thread and organize than a flat web page. It's unmoderated and should be a fun list for the local expats to share news articles, URLs, local events and the usual mailing list kind of stuff. Meng is the guy behind SPF so spam shouldn't be a problem, either. If interested, the subscription page and the subscription address, subscribe-iesaf@v2.listbox.com, should be self-explanatory.

A Hand-Written Letter

A Hand-Written Letter 12/11/2003 04:51 PM
In today's post arrived a shiny copper-coloured envelope of the sort I'm always seeing in stationary shop windows and admiring in a "email's not that pretty" kind of way. I've often wondered about the kind of person who might keep up the art of letter-writing, something you just don't come across in my fields of work and play. The lettering on the envelope was done with a careful hand in neat black block letters. About the only writing I'm caught doing is Graffiti on glass, where handwriting counts only insofar as conveyance of digitizable information. Inside was a friendly hand-written note on pleasingly rhomboid paper. At the bottom, an honest-to-goodness signature. The contents of the note, a simple thank-you.

I propped the envelope up on my desk--I'm not known for keeping paper about for a second longer than is absolutely necessary, books aside--and noticed my eye returning to it throughout the day.

Now I know I tend to wax poetic about some of the simplest things, but it's in the unremarkable details that you often find the best parts of your day.

Thank you for your lovely letter.
