Free software Java platforms

Free software Java platforms 01/14/2003 02:28 PM

Richard Stallman is interested whether XSLT-process, my XSLT processor and debugger Emacs interface for the Saxon and Xalan XSLT processors runs on top of a free software JDK.

As far as I know Kaffe is one such free-software implementation of a Java virtual machine. There are many other implementations listed at Kaffe's Web site.

Does anybody have any experience with any of these in a real project? How much of the JVM functionality and the associated class libraries in JDK 1.3 are implemented? Can one run an XML parser and an XSLT processor like Saxon or Xalan on top of them?

Coding Frenzy

Coding Frenzy 05/14/2004 09:02 AM
Warning: techtalk follows, you may freely skip this if your eyes glaze over at the word "XML".

I've been in a coding frenzy for the past couple of days. JSPWiki has had some considerable additions, here being the relevant part of the ChangeLog:

2004-05-14  Janne Jalkanen 
<Janne.Jalkanen@nospam.ecyrd.com>

        * v2.1.97.

        * Added preliminary support for the Atom blog API.  It still
does
        not yet completely work, however.

I'll be a non-productive member of the society for the next three-four days (another wedding? Don't people get tired of these things already?), so nothing much may happen. But yeah, I nearly got ecto working with JSPWiki.

There is still however a question on how the blog and wiki apis should interact. You see, the page Main on this site is both a weblog and a wiki page. I'm having trouble, you see:

• GET to /atom/ lists all wiki pages (which means that even on this site, there are a lot of them) - not just the weblogs (since every page can be a weblog, even the weblog entry pages)
• GET to /atom/Main... Should it list all of the blog entries, or should it GET the Wiki page content? Both are valid interpretations...

I'm confused... Which is the correct way to handle this? Should a WikiWebl og combination have separate URIs for Wiki and Weblog functionality? Isn't that kinda redundant?

He takes a problem-solution approach to creating maintainable code, peeks at different coding standards, and also has a zip file of his own coding standards that you may want to use.

Wavefront Coding for phonecams

Wavefront Coding for phonecams 09/14/2004 03:48 AM
Xeni Jardin: A new type of lens may make blurry phonecam snapshots a thing of the past:

A specially shaped camera lens and processing method to ensure images are always in focus has been developed. Physicist Dr Andy Harvey said it was a "simple system with a simple lens" which uses an optical encoder so that no information in images is lost. Developed primarily for military night vision cameras, the technology could find its way into camera phones.

Useful Applescripts for coding PHP in
BBEdit

Useful Applescripts for coding PHP in
BBEdit 12/12/2003 07:48 PM
At work I spend a lot of time coding, which means I also spend a lot of time using BBEdit . Thankfully it's a fantastic program with excellent Applescript integration. As a PHP coder, I thought I'd share some of the great Applescripts that are out there to enhance your coding experience, and hopefully save you some time. VoidFil lPHP This is a PHP code completion script. Type the beginning of function name, hit F1 (or whatever key you've assigned it to), and it provides a list a potential matches (e.g. type html and you can choose from html_entity_decode, htmlentities or htmlspecialchars). Search php.net for selection It does what it says on the tin. Highlight a PHP function or keyword, hit the assigned key combination, and it fires up a browser window and searches through the manual on php.net for the function or keyword. Very useful if you've not got a PHP reference book handy. PHP Syntax Check Written by John Gruber (a former Bare Bones developer, so he obviously knows a thing or two), this flexible script can scan your document for PHP parsing errors (highlighting the problematic lines). The script can also replace the built-in HTML Document Syntax command, so it can check the syntax of your HTML also. Pretty nifty huh? What other Applescripts make your BBEdit life easier?

Lo-fi Friendster

Lo-fi Friendster 12/02/2003 01:07 AM
"Theoretically, everybody who entered 111 Minna and plunked down a $5 cover for the happy-hour party had been e-mailed an invitation from a friend. Of a friend. Of a friend....Four Bay Area women conceived the Date My Friend idea in January by merging their original invite lists of 50 friends each, hoping that their single pals would be put at ease knowing that the guy asking for their number was somehow connected to them in that six-degrees-of-separation fashion."

The new Friendster

The new Friendster 02/05/2005 09:12 PM

I've been waiting a whiele to see what happens with the new Friendster. So far - not much. But they do send this nifty little newsletter nowadays - which has the status of some of my friends in it.

What intrigues me about this - is how did they know which friends to tell me about? Those who have updated recently? Those who are 'important' in the blogosphere - or what?

The reason I'm curious is that if you look at these peeps below - you'll notice nobody less than danah boyd, Xeni Jardin, Tyler Ziemann, Justin Hall and Scott Rafer.

Not a bad selection of peeps. So I'd say there's something going on here - something that's determining who is 'important' in my life - or something like that. Cause Julia Lolita is not known in the blogspehere and Noah Glass is kind of but not that much. Julia is an all-star in the SF/BM/LaLa party scene and Noah used to live with me as a roomate.

Julia's company "Blood & Butter" productions has put on some of the best parties ever - some of them at my house (with Noah particiapting I may add.) So how did Friendster know how important Julia is to me? Email traffic? And Jason is a friend of Julia's - I barely know him. He's teh one man out in this elite list. Hmmm.

But I don't exchange email with Justin, Xeni or Scott on Friendster? So I'm curious just how this list was determined.

Esther Dyson, queen of comedy.

I know I know - it is like poking a rattle snake with your foot. But I am feeling feisty this morning. Now that Esther Dyson doesn’t really have anything to say about anything (smart guy in her company is doing his own thing), she has decided that comedy is the next big thing.

Dyson got the biggest laugh by suggesting a business model for Sunnyvale-based Friendster, the popular social networking service and a company that has yet to collect any revenue from its users. Populated by lonely singles looking to line up dates, Friendster should start a personal gift registry, Dyson said. The bottom line would be: “If you want to date me, this is what you’ve got to buy me.” (San Jose Mercury News)

Yup, that’s a new business model, so new that every generation has been doing the same since Adam and …

I'm out of Friendster

I'm out of Friendster 09/01/2004 03:40 PM
I've quit. I don't ever use it. I don't have a pressing need to be registered at a site for daters and people with "open" marriages. I wasn't impressed with the CEO throwing Friendster condoms into the audience after giving a talk. I have a problem with the site's disrespect for the implicit. And then Friendster fired an employee for blogging. Click here to go to the cancellation form, if you're so inclined. (Thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for the cancellation link. And here's a great post by Jon Udell.)...

Mobile Platforms

Mobile Platforms 02/01/2005 08:36 PM

The last time I've done any intense development work for mobile devices was 4~5 years ago.  At that time, I've looked at Palm, Pocket PC, J2ME, and WAP and concluded that mobile platforms were not yet ready.  Last week, I've looked at the mobile devices and OSes again.  My opinion is that it's still not ready despite the amazing change in capabilities and capacities.

The main problem that prevents emergence of killer apps on mobile platforms is that applications are treated as second-class citizens, placed in a straight-jacket and pigeon-holed.

To receive or make a call, one just flip-opens the phone or press a button.  To use an application. one has to navigate around a typically hierarchical tree of functionalities.  Some devices have separate buttons for built-in applications but they either cannot be remapped to another application or controls for remapping is buried and lost in that confusing tree of functionalities.

In addition, functionalities are not tightly integrated and offers wide array of modal experiences depending on where you are on the tree.  On top of the default phone mode, browser mode, SMS mode, e-mail mode, address book mode, and various preference modes, each application has its own mode.

Before killer apps can emerge, mobile platforms must be changed drastically, removing modes and allowing applications to add their functionalities without being boxed in.
