Software That Lasts For Years And Years07/14/2004 06:51 PM We were just talking about the rise of
quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily
programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at
the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming,
and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level
"big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed the
problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats
die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient
media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin
is now suggesting that people need to start designing "Societal
Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a
few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to
worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will
be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though,
Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming,
though not necessarily the way people view open source programming
today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think
long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas
will actually catch on.

Atlanta Braves 9-0 Tuesday in their opener.
The Free Software Community After 20 Years: With great but incomplete success, what now?
The Free Software Community After 20 Years: With great but incomplete success, what now?01/05/2004 08:34 AM It was twenty years ago today that I quit my job at MIT to begin
developing a free software operating system, GNU. While we have never
released a complete GNU system suitable for production use, a variant
of the GNU system is now used by tens of millions of people who mostly
are not aware it is such. Free software does not mean "gratis"; it
means that users are free to run the program, study the source code,
change it, and redistribute it either with or without changes, either
gratis or for a fee.
Ford Dumps Online Purchasing Software After 4-Years, Millions Of Dollars Wasted
Ford Dumps Online Purchasing Software After 4-Years, Millions Of Dollars Wasted08/17/2004 03:23 PM Remember all those expensiv
e new government computer systems that simply don't work (or made
people cry by making the "save" process take 15 steps)? It's
certainly not limited to the government sector. Ford is now admitting
that they're dumping an internet purchasing system they bought from
Oracle four years ago, after being unable to make it work with
existing systems. Luckily, they kept the legacy system running, so
they're just switching back to that. What's scary is that these
stories don't seem that far off the norm. Almost everyone seems to
have stories of multi-million dollar enterprise software systems that
don't work.
