Public Warms to Edwards; Race Still

John Edwards's selection for the Democratic ticket did not win over a substantial number of voters, and a majority feel the country should have stayed out of Iraq.

The other analyst

The other analyst 01/06/2005 09:16 AM

Turns out, one of the "other analysts" that Michael Signer spoke of was a blogger named James Govenor. In the comments to my previous post, James writes:

"actually it was me. i got a quick email from Michael and gave him a rapid response. its pretty harsh to accuse him of making the idea up if he attributed it to an analyst. Basically i felt that you are doing good work with Roller, and engaging with Sun customers, but that Sun itself has said basically not much about the future of the product at all. Michael had heard a sniff of an open source splash and is looking for ideas. i have not got the inside skinny, but i could easily imagine Sun "packaging" the Roller and open source news, or changing the license. or something. Either that or open sourcing some other JES componentry. Feel free to set the record straight. What are Sun's plans for Roller?"

James, I assumed that he was making things up because he was so far off base. How could he not know that Roller is already open source? Development is done on a public CVS server, issue tracking is public, and discussions happen on public mailing lists, blogs, and the Roller wiki.

James asks that I "set the record straight" and "what are Sun's plans for Roller?" I'm not going to discuss Sun's future product plans or announcements, but my personal plan is to make Roller -- and I'm talking about the open source version of Roller -- the best possible platform for blogging, collaboration, and community building. If you want to know how that plan is going, watch me work.

Sun's no-op announcement

Sun's no-op announcement 02/01/2005 08:49 PM
Last year IBM took a significant step forward in cooperation with the free software community, by offering blanket licenses for 500 of its patents to all free software developers. This does not cover all of IBM's software patents, which must number in the thousands. And there are other areas where IBM does not yet cooperate with the free software community--they have not provided the necessary information to port a free BIOS to ThinkPads, for instance, and they are still pursuing Treacherous Computing. Nonetheless, this is a real step. Recently Sun made an announcement that superficially seems similar. It said that Sun had given us "free access to Sun OpenSolaris related patents under the Common Development and Distribution License." But those words do not really make sense. The CDDL is a license for the copyright on software, not a policy for licensing patents. It applies to specific code and nothing else. (Copyright and patents have essentially nothing in common in the requirements they impose on the public.)

Why am I pointing to this? After all, Simon and Sun is trying to put me out of business. Because I want to be an authority on the operating system industry and to become an authority you must point to ALL stuff, not just that that's friendly.

Heck, Sun's doing some cool work here and it should be paid attention to -- particularly by Longhorn evangelists.

Sun's identity pitch

Sun's identity pitch 12/16/2003 12:30 PM
At SunNetwork 2003 back in September, Jonathan Schwartz made the case that the Java card is the most strategic piece of Sun's whole technology stack. Actually, I'd say per-employee pricing is the real strategic innovation. But I've always hoped to see movement on the identity card front, so this clip, in which Schwartz stresses something I've been harping on for years, got my attention:

Java card support will be built into the desktop that we offer. It is the fundamental way we will help people to understand that if there were a menu item in your mail app that said, 'Show only mail from people that have been strongly authenticated,' then spam would disappear. 'Show me only content that has been strongly authenticated,' viruses would disappear.

Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View

Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View 08/14/2004 10:24 PM
Recently Sun Microsystems released to its developers more code containing its 'Project Look Glass" technology. Project Looking Glass will offer users a 3D Desktop. Sun is hoping that this technology will give users a more exciting computing experience, and a good boost to its public image.

In order for this technology to succeed Sun needs to know what developers think of it. Without the support from other developers Project Looking Glass isn't going anywhere. So Sun has shipped early code of its latest project to developers. This is according to Craig Nicholas a technical support engineer at Sun. Apparently Project Looking Glass isn't an operating systems at all (despite earlier rumors); instead it’s a 'skin' that nearly sits on top of an operating system states Craig Nicholas. Though only 3D applications will be able to take advantage of Project Looking Glass, Sun is working hard on an application that will automatically rewrite the window management code in order for it to run in a 3D environment.

Early screenshots and videos of Project Looking Glass look very promising, but it’s unclear what Sun hopes to accomplish with it. A while ago Sun promised that it would open up its code to the open-source community, but in doing so what would Sun gain. The last time I checked Sun needed money.

Quitting Smoking

Quitting Smoking 07/21/2004 04:53 PM

Dave Winer writes about his experience quitting smoking, and it reminds me of my experience quitting. Many years ago I was a smoker, and it took a couple of tries before I quit successfully.

My first attempt at quitting was doomed to failure. See, I noticed that my cravings were stronger when my friends and I went bar-hopping, so I told myself I'd only smoke when I was drinking. The result? I drank more. Duh.

So I quit cold turkey, and that was well over a decade ago. I've smoked one time since then, about three years ago - not a perfect record, but not bad. The thing that made it easier to quit was that I stopped smoking right after the end of a relationship gone sour. I figured as long as I was giving up one bad habit, I might as well give up smoking at the same time.

Quitting Is Not A Problem

Quitting Is Not A Problem 12/02/2003 01:26 PM
A new study has found that, despite the slower job market, employees are just as willing to quit their job now than they were at the height of the boom years, when jumping ship seemed like a monthly option for some workers. Many people will jump for just a little bit more money, but good working conditions and the belief that the company is going somewhere helps. Of course, many companies have been treating their employees terribly lately, believing that they have no other options - but that may be changing.
