Publishing Companies Discovering That
The Market Can Change
07/12/2004 05:39 AM

It's not just the music and movie industries that seem to have a hard time dealing with the internet. Book publishers are now freaking out that Amazon.com sells used books alongside new books, and suggests this is the "Napster of the book industry" even if nothing illegal is happening. An Amazon representative points out their worries are overblown. Indeed, many more people are buying used books, but they're often doing so to experiment with and discover new authors or genres -- which leads to them buying even more new books. Either way, the industry has framed the issue incorrectly, calling it a "problem," rather than looking at how it could be an opportunity. They also don't seem to believe that (just as with the music industry) one reason why sales may be down is that people have many more options (surfing the web, playing video games, watching TV, going for a walk, etc.) than just sitting around and reading a book. Perhaps it's more of a marketing problem than anything else.

AP - Last year, Steve Jobs received a pay package worth nearly $75 million. But the Apple Computer CEO's pay had a catch — all but $1 was in stock that he can't touch until 2006. There's been a big shift in the way America's top executives are being paid, as once-ubiquitous stock options are replaced by restricted stock and other forms of pay.

It’s a myth that the information technology (IT) requirements of emerging and midsize businesses are simpler than those of large enterprises. Virtually every day, we interact with the technology and business leaders of midsize companies whose IT demands not only rival the requirements of much larger companies, but in many cases exceed them.Fortunately, emerging and midsize businesses can resolve the dilemma of updating their outmoded IT infrastructure without massive one-time investments in technology. New technologies, such as Microsoft® .NET, enable companies to leverage previous investments in technology while step-by-step integrating their business systems to enable an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible solution to driving and managing growth.

Discovering Berkeley DB


Discovering Berkeley DB 11/25/2003 10:23 PM

I'm working on a project at the moment which involves exporting a whole bunch of data out of an existing system. The system is written in Perl and uses Berkeley DB files for most of its storage.

I'd never done anything with Berkeley DB before, but luckily Python has a module which seems to do all of the hard work for me:

>>> db = bsddb.btopen('xpand.db')
>>> db.keys()[0:10]
[':archives:index.html', ':art:test.html', ... 
>>> db[':art:test.html']
'template;front.tp\x01\x01'
>>> 

The Berkeley DB libraries are maintained by Sleepycat Software. Unfortunately, their site is completely saturated with marketing jargon. Our customers rely on Berkeley DB for fast, scalable, reliable and cost-effective data management for their mission-critical applications. Great - now what does it do exactly?

Some digging around turned up the real information: the Berkeley DB Tutorial and Reference Guide, which contains pretty much everything you could possible want to know about the technology. It turns out that at a basic level Berkeley DB is just a very high performance, reliable way of persisting dictionary style data structures - anything where a piece of data can be stored and looked up using a unique key. The key and the value can each be up to 4 gigabytes in length and can consist of anything that can be crammed in to a string of bytes, so what you do with it is completely up to you. The only operations available are "store this value under this key", "check if this key exists" and "retrieve the value for this key" so conceptually it's pretty simple - the complicated stuff all happens under the hood.

It seems like a great alternative to a full on relational database for simple applications, although I'm slightly confused by the license which allows free use for open source products but requires a license for commercial applications. Does that mean that if I use the bsddb Python module in a commercial app I need to get a license from Sleepycat?


Discovering Dickens


Discovering Dickens 01/24/2004 03:55 PM

Stanford is bringing back its popular Discovering Dickens community reading project -- another example of what's possible with a healthy public domain. (In other words, don't try this with anything much more modern.)

In December 2002, Stanford’s Discovering Dickens project began with the serial release of Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations. By the time the project concluded in April, 2003, it had enjoyed success far beyond what we had anticipated. Interest in the project, which has attracted participants from around the country and around the world, has remained keen, and we are happy to announce our next project: Discovering Dickens 2004.

Between January 9 and April 16, 2004, Discovering Dickens will rerelease the facsimile of Dickens’ famous novel of the French Revolution, A Tale of Two Cities. In April, 1859, the first serialized part of A Tale of Two Cities provided the lead piece for Dickens’ new periodical All the Year Round. On the strength of this weekly serial, contemporary Victorian readership had swollen to 100,000 before the novel concluded in November, 1859.

Dickens himself played an interesting role in international copyright's development, back in the day when the U.S. was a pirate nation. (1, 2, 3.)

Blogging and Discovering about Marqui


Blogging and Discovering about Marqui 12/30/2004 01:58 PM

I've been waiting a bit to see what our bloggers thought about Marqui.

There have been a few stumbles (mainly my fault) but we're finally looking like a real program now - so I can let you all know preliminary results:

Lucas Gonze - at least tried to try it out and is discovering that open source alternatives are probably just as good. So I just gently remind Lucas that Marqui ain't for open source wonks or even bloggers - it's for Mabel at the H&R Block office in Winnepeg office to.....

Now I'm not saying Mabel ain't gonan use open source, but it's all about the developers who build Mabel's software for her. It's THEM who have to know the alternatives. Hopefully what they'll find is that for the tradeoff of spending a little money (starting at $199 a month) Marqui is pretty dam convienient and simple - to build out large scale 'Communications Management' solutions.

Eric Rice on the other hand - is glad that Marqui is using Marqui - pointing to Janet Johnson's on-line brochure case study. Eric may even use it himself for a project.

Robin Good has probably the best written, most articulate, most persistent and idealistic posts of them all and is keeping us all on our toes. This comes from our one "professional" writer/blogger.

And Meryl Evans did an in-depth analysis of the tool - check it out. That should give you a taste of what Marqui is. And Jon Lebkowsky is pointing out that Marqui is trying to go beyond just text.

DL Byron points out how M arqui's SEO efforts point out clearly that they need to be doing their OWN blogging - but we all knew that already - right?

Mitch Ratcliffe just kind of acknowledges that he's part of the program, while defending the integrity of it, the company and himself. Right on to Mitch - is all I can say!

Nathan Weinberg has an honest assesment of where we are right now while Richard Murray keeps trying to break things and push the envelope. Coolio! I was counting on that! Thanks Richard!

Jonathan Abad keeps cranking out posts while Geek central thinks it's as easy to use as using Microsoft Office.

While some - like Molly - just kind of do their duty, others completely go off - like the head lemur.

I'd say I'm blown away by the quality of the blog posts so far, but not surpirsed. I can't wait to see what the others will come up with. At least Mr. Claus is considering being a client.

Meanwhile Marqui is slowly getting it's act together. 2005 will certainly be an interesting year!

Self-Publishing Looking Better


Self-Publishing Looking Better 04/27/2004 04:11 PM
Self-publishing of books has had a pretty bad reputation for a while. There were a few success stories, but not many. Now, however, technology is making it easier and much, much cheaper to self-publish, meaning that self-publishing is losing some of its negative connotation. It's certainly not going to wipe out professional publishers, who are there for a reason. However, it does open up more possibilities for people who want to publish books for very focused audiences, or those who see self-publishing as a kind of minor league "warmup" for publishing a book the traditional way. While some fear being inundated with dreadful books, that seems silly. If the books are bad, no one is going to buy them. Besides, there are already plenty of dreadful books out there that you never hear about. A successful book generally requires a marketing campaign that many individual authors are incapable of doing on their own - which is why big publishers are around. However, for some authors, doing their own publicity is a thrill, and gives them much more control over how their book is promoted.

Does The Web Have A Publishing Cycle?


Does The Web Have A Publishing Cycle? 07/21/2004 08:22 PM
Sometimes it's difficult to break out of habits. While newspapers have a clear reason for having a drop-dead deadline for submitting articles, and a once-a-day publishing schedule, the web world offers them plenty of flexibility in when they publish... which they seem to have promptly ignored. E-Media Tidbits notes a new study showing many online newspapers stick to a once-a-day publishing schedule. It's not that surprising that they do this. It fits within their existing processes, and since many are reusing print copy anyway, it makes some amount of sense. Still, you would expect them to start to realize they can publish on a less strict schedule. It appears some newspapers have made an effort to stay more regularly updated, but many simply don't bother at all. Of course, in doing so, they risk losing readers to other sites that are more timely.

Political Publishing


Political Publishing 07/26/2004 05:41 PM
The newsmedia are stiff with wonderment at this new blogging thang, personified by a few dozen of the pesky varmints really being there (what a concept) at the Democratic National Convention. Technorati (disclosure: I’m on the Advisory Board) is trying to do the bigger picture, and every time I go to that page it’s interesting; also Br’er Dave Sifry is going to be CNN’s Ambassador from Blogistan. We could do way worse. The meta-story is more interesting than the story, almost by definition; the Democratic party wants to have an extended tightly-controlled five-day infomercial; the last thing they want is actual news. The news media will play along to some extent but also be furiously looking for some real surprise or conflict or subterfuge in the spirit of if-it-bleeds-it-leads. Two obvious ways the Blogistanis could make a difference would be by uncovering (unexpectedly) real news, or by finding some way to make this largely formal and content-free event a little more human, a little more meaningful, a little funnier. Best of luck, boys and girls. (PS: While on the subject of the political process and the Web as a medium, the Electoral Vote Predictor strikes me as elegant, seamless, and new.)

Book Review: WarDriving


Book Review: WarDriving 05/27/2004 06:24 PM
Nobody likes to make enemies, but I have to be honest about the dollar-to-content value of this book: Let me be clear from the outset. I don't know any of the authors of this book, except by reputation, and have nothing but the highest regard for their technical knowledge and their achievements. The folks who wrote WarDriving: Drive, Detect, Defend are experts about most of what they write about, and offer great technical insights and tips throughout. That said, I can't recommend this book primarily because the best advice is already available on the Web for free in much the same form; chunks of the most practical early part of the book are repetitive to cover different operating systems or scenarios with the same approach; the middle part of the book comprises a 60-page-long set of anecdotes with long code extracts; and the last part of the book features security advice that's somewhat strange focusing on commercial software and hardware that's obscure and hard to use and mostly out of keeping with the kind of audience that could possibly be interested in this title. A factor that led to book bloat (520 pages, no CD-ROM, $49.99) is the lengthy reproduction of code, sometimes double spaced that a reader must be expected to input rather than download or copy and paste from a Web page. Further, many of the programs seem too idiosyncratic to be of general utility, arguing against their inclusion in the printed book even if other programs were printed in full. For fairness's sake, after reading this book a few weeks ago, I sent the publisher's publicist contact my remarks and a list of errors found in the book. I was promised some follow up and didn't get it, so the statute of limitations of waiting for a response to specifics has ended. I should also make it clear that I have co-written a book on wireless networking which has practically no overlap with this book. In general, the book is best at collecting and providing documentation on the trickiest aspects of scanning for, recording, and defending against wardriving and Wi-Fi network cracking. Some of the areas on defense are the strongest in the book, although other areas seem highly misguided. From the first page of the book to the end of Chapter 7, page 243, it's at its strongest. It's a cogent, how-to guide to installing and...

Book Review: Against All Enemies


Book Review: Against All Enemies 04/17/2004 03:20 PM
When Against All Enemies was published a few weeks ago, it was greeted by a flurry of press and blogsphere discussion, almost entirely focused on the book's criticisms of the Bush administration. Those criticisms are largely contained within the book's final chapter, a chapter that feels grafted on, and which is significantly different in tone from the rest of the book. It's unfortunate that this chapter has become the focus for discussion of the book - a fact which argues that, perhaps, it shouldn't have been included at all. The majority of the book is a discussion of how the first Bush administration and the Clinton administration gradually came to realize the existence of al Qaeda and tried to figure out what to do about it. The story is framed, at the beginning and the end, by the events of September 11, 2001 (during which Clarke was one of the people primarily responsible for government operations during the hours until President Bush took charge) - but that is simply the framing; the real meat of the book takes place in an earlier time. The time that laid the groundwork for that day.
