Mainframes are computers too

Mainframes are computers too 04/16/2004 05:05 AM

I was talking up the Person al TV Networks idea last night with Jim Moore. He asked what they are. Well, they don't exist yet. But think about mainframe computers, centralized beasts, controlled and owned big faceless corporations, and how all hell broke loose when people could by a personal computer for a couple of thousand dollars. Same idea. More and more, the media is owned by big faceless companies who can be manipulated by the government. Blogs are great, they're like personal magazines. This is no longer a vision, it's reality. So if you want to publish an idea, go ahead. You don't need to sell it to a publisher. The next step, which we're on the cusp of, is video production and distribution using RSS and BitTorrent, and perhaps other P2P methods. Adam Curry, who began his television career working for one of the behemoths, has become the visionary for the personal television network of the future. Of course that's one of the BloggerCon sessions tomorrow afternoon at 1:30PM, Pound 200.

Swarming and Grids

Swarming and Grids 12/19/2004 03:07 PM

I ran across SwarmStream and thought it was a wonderful piece of technology.  Basically, they took BitTorrent and slipped it under Java so that any Java application can trade bits as fast as BitTorrent can.

Unfortunately, not enough people needs it badly enough to make it a successful venture IMHO.  Same opinion applies to the grid technology.  If you can plug your feed tube into some government agency with a fat budget, excellent.  If not, your meals will be far and wide in-between.  If you took Google's wonderfully expansive service technology and turned it into a product, will it survive?  My opinion is that it won't.

Who Needs It?

Really.  Who needs server farms?  Google does.  Who else and how many of them are there?  More importantly, are they the kind of customers with the right sense of value?  Would Yahoo or Microsoft buy it?  I don't think so.  People who need it are few and most of them are too gung-ho to be interested in buying instead of building it themselves.  Banks?  Are banks prepared to own or even rent server farms?

Who Wants It?

Swaming requires third party participants.  That cuts entire financial services sector out.  And entertainment industry is, in some ways, more conservative than the banking industry.  Will they let their latest hot movie swarm?  What a joke.

Revolution is a lonely business if you jump the gun.  Swarming and grid technologies, active or not, are ahead of its time.  If you got enough money and marketing know-how, you can hurry time.  Otherwise, you are walking into a world of hurt.  Maybe you can prevail.  Most likely not.

Infoworld Staff 01/17/2004 10:42 PM
Whatever future there is for business applications of grid computing, it won’t be shaped by technology. Business attitudes must change to embrace the technology that already exists. This is a classic example of technology that’s crucial to business having its uptake delayed by an apparent lack of demand. It isn’t a solution looking for a problem; there are plenty of existing problems to go after with grids and similar approaches to distributed computing. What sticks in the minds of many IT professionals is that grids are useful to science and academia, therefore they are likely to be too esoteric for business computing.

iDo Script Scheduler 1.5.1 03/14/2003 03:45 PM
iDo Script Scheduler lets you create a schedule to run your scripts and it can also be controlled by AppleScript. Not only can you automatically launch your scripts, but each time they run, you can pass a line of parameters to your script.

Release notes: Background software updated to match PowerKey 4.1.4. Added an "Execute Event" item to the Edit menu to run a script immediately. Added a contextual menu to create, edit and delete events. In some circumstances, if iDo Script Scheduler was used in conjunction with the PowerKey 4.1.3 software, the scheduled scripts failed to run -- fixed. In Mac OS 9, hot key events were affected by the state of the caps lock key, even though it was not displayed in the event editor -- fixed. (In OS X, the caps lock key is ignored when creating or activating hot keys.)
