Quirkle Quark

Quirkle Quark 01/04/2005 12:44 AM

The Quark claims to the world's "highest performance classic spinning top in the world." That means it'll spin for a long, long time—up to 15 minutes a twirl, they say. Manufacturer Quirkle will even include a laser pointer with each purchase to aid in "precision dynamic balancing," as well as a glass spinning surface (aka "a mirror") and attractive wood leveling shims (aka "wedges"). Prices range from just $50 for a brass version up to $2,500 for a 14k gold model. There is also an extra geeky tungsten model for just $150. No word yet if there will be a gold-pressed latinum version of the Quark.

Adobe announced today the latest version of its layout and design program, Adobe InDesign CS2. This new version improves the speed and efficiency of designers in a variety of workflows from text-intensive book, magazine, and newspaper production to high-end XML-based cross-media workflows. Designers can increase productivity and create more consistent designs by saving graphic, text, and frame-level attributes as Object Styles, which are easy to apply and globally update. Exporting objects with the new InDesign snippets features enables users to easily share or repurpose live InDesign content and layouts from part of a page.

Quark in denial of InDesign trend

Quark in denial of InDesign trend 09/06/2004 02:48 PM
A Computer Business Review Online story posted today quotes Quark's UK marketing director Gavin Drake as saying, "There is no question that a small number of customers have or are switching to InDesign for various reasons and we wish them every success in this. However you have to put this in context, which is that this represents a very small percentage of the UK market and is certainly not a trend."

I say when BBC Magazines is one of those small numbers along with Hearst Publishing in the US, it may not be a trend, but it's sure heading in that direction.

At long last, Quark has posted a teaser
page about ... 03/13/2003 10:22 AM

At long last, Quark has posted a teaser page about XPress 6, the Carbonized, coming-sometime version of their page layout app. Sigh.

I used to be a graphic designer. I lived in Quark XPress. Thousands of hours, thousands of pages. I still remember the keyboard shortcut for "decrease tracking by 1/200th of an em," though I would rather not. It's not my bread and butter anymore, but I've been following the app's creep toward OS X, and like most have been boggled by the slow pace. In many cases this is the only thing binding design pros to OS 9. They want to migrate to OS X, but they can't.

As of this moment the page says almost nothing about the new version, only noting "enhanced undo functionality, full-resolution previews, and an intriguing way to manage complex projects." Strikingly uninformative -- and the screen shot promises little new other than Aqua trim on XPress's well-worn, spartan interface. Of course, we shouldn't judge print apps by web time. The task of publishing a magazine is substantially the same now as it was ten years ago, and most large publishing workgroups are slow to upgrade because of myriad software dependencies (I wonder how far they're gotten with updating QPS?). The important thing is that they get this thing out the frickin' door.

Though Quark is widely criticized in the industry for an unresponsive attitude toward customers, I really would like them to survive, because I believe that an Adobe monopoly -- which is what we are heading for -- would ultimately be bad for the industry. Discuss

Jack of All Trades Wanted: Perl, C, C++ AND Quark AND Photoshop I just got this on the Perl Jobs mailing list (no I'm not a big Perl dude but it's a great way to keep up with things people are looking for). Must be able to program and implement scripts using languages such as Perl, PHP, Javascript, Java,C, C++. Experience of Linux, Solaris , QuarkXpress and Photoshop would be useful. [_Go_] I suspect that if you could cook and clean then you'd really be likely to get the job.

Collaborative Mapping 01/07/2004 02:04 PM
Edward Mac Gillavry has a paper on collaborative mapping that comes at the idea from a different angle than does Matt Haughey's suggestion that someone combine a mapping system with a Slashdot-like system to do collaborative routing: Collaborative mapping is an initiative to collectively produce models of real-world locations online that people can then access and use to virtually annotate locations in space. Mac Gillavry points to two aspects of collaborative mapping: 1. Generating maps by mapping with your feet, so to speak. For example, at Waag.org, you can see maps of Amsterdam generated by aggregating data from people carrying...

Collaborative Redesign

Collaborative Redesign 11/25/2003 10:24 PM

Out with the orange, in with the green. As with my last redesign, only the CSS changed. A fun deviation with this one was that it was a collaboration between myself and Natalie over nearly 5,000 miles, using edit styles and AIM to pass each other snippets of CSS and instantly try them out.

I haven't tested it very thoroughly at all so if there are any glaring abominations leave me a comment - I know about the blogmarks looking slightly out of place in IE 6 but I haven't quite decided if I can be bothered to find a workaround yet.

Next month I'll be giving a talk on social software to an audience of CTOs. To prime the pump, I've been spending some time with two of the newer services in the space: Flickr and del.icio.us. Neither focuses primarily on the six-degrees-of-separation dynamic that drives LinkedIn, Orkut, Friendster, and Spoke. Flickr, as I would explain it to my friends and family, is a way to easily upload and share digital photos. And del.icio.us does the same thing for Web bookmarks.

To CTOs, though, I'd say that both are collaborative systems for building a shared database of items, developing a metadata vocabulary about the items, performing metadata-driven queries, and monitoring change in areas of interest. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

While I was on vacation, this column percolated through the infosphere. Now that I'm back, I'm seeing some interesting ripple effects. It had already been apparent that in addition to monitoring the blog conversations swirling around a column, it would be interesting to monitor the del.icio.us traffic too. Not surprisingly, those two views have now begun to merge. ...
