After reading the earlier entry here on Toronto's Secret Swing, an art
installation in which a playground swing has been hung in a narrow
downtown graffiti alley, Chris sought it out and went for a ride and
shot some good pix of it in action.

Bill sez, "The Justice Department continues to demand the right to
file a secret brief in Gilmore vs. Ashcroft, a case that involves
secret law. In response to a September 10th ruling by the 9th Circuit
US Court of Appeals that rejected DOJ's attempt to file their

XAML and... Swing
XAML and... Swing
12/30/2003 01:17 AMLet's see. There's this new language+API. It is, in theory
platform independent. It's pretty high level. Below the high-level
description, it runs on top of a virtual machine. It's verbose. Some
people say it will never work.
Gotta be Swing, right?
How about XAML?
On Saturday Sam commented on a XAML example.
He makes a number of good points. Which jump-started earlier
XAML-related musings.
XAML will be Windows-only, so in that sense the comparison is
stretched. But this is a matter of practice, in theory an XML-based
language could be made portable (when there's a will there's a way).
XAML was compared a lot to Mozilla's XUL, and rightly so, but I think
there are some parallels between it and Swing as well.
One big difference that XAML will have, for sure, is that it will
have a nice UI designer, something that Swing still lacks. On the
other hand, I think that whatever code an automated designer generates
will be horribly bloated. And who will be able to write XAML by hand?
And: the problem of "bytecode protection" in Java comes back with
XAML, but with a vengeance. How will the code be protected?
Obfuscation of XML code? Really? How would it be validated then? And
why hasn't anyone talked about this.
And another thing: Sun has shown in the past few years that they've
taken a liking to countering Microsoft announcements with some of
their own. ie., MS comes out with Web services, they come out with web
services. MS does X, Sun does it too, but in Java. One wish: that Sun
would ignore XAML and just continue improving Swing, and create a
simple, good UI designer for Swing. Supposedly Project Rave will do
this... but here's hoping there won't be any course corrections simply
to show up Microsoft. Please, pretty please, Sun.
On a related note, Robert says
this regarding XAML:
[...] you will see some
business build two sites: one in HTML and one in XAML. Why? Because
they'll be able to offer their customers experiences that are
impossible to deliver in HTML.
Come on, Robert, these
days, when everyone's resources are stretched to the limit, when CIOs
want to squeeze every possible drop of code from their people, when
everyone works 60-hour weeks as a matter of common practice, are you
seriously saying that companies will have
two teams to develop
a single website? Is this Microsoft's selling point? "Here, just
retrain all of your people, and double the size and expense of your
development team, and you'll be fine."
Of course not. Most companies will have one team, not two. Hence,
logically, either people will use it or won't, without a lot of middle
ground in between. That leaves two possibilities: 1) XAML will be
niche and never really used a lot (think ActiveX, or, hey, even Java
Applets!) or 2) XAML will kill HTML.
Which one do you think Microsoft is betting on?

01/06/2004 08:01 AMYesterday Russ was
ranting (his term :)) on how Sun was botching it by not getting
behind SWT, because SWT is, in his view, better than Swing. I have
written about both a few times before, more recently in this
short review of my initial impressions of developing with SWT, and
earlier here
, here
and here
among others. Specifically on what Russ is saying I had a couple of
things to add. One is that, although I'm obviously partial on this :),
I think that clevercactus shows that Swing interfaces need not feel
out of place, or be slow, or whatever. And I think it looks better
than LimeWire too :). IDEA is also a fine example IMO. However, it's
true that all of that is subjective and that for hard-core Windows
users there are small differences. For power users in
particular the differences might indeed be difficult to accept. The
situation is much better in other platforms though.
That aside, there is the other matter that Russ mentions, that of
Sun not joining
the Eclipse consortium. The main reason given for this is that,
for all its platform appeal Eclipse is still, at heart, an IDE
toolkit. If you doubt that's true, spend some time perusing the
Eclipse APIs, and you'll notice how many times you have to use
components from within the IDE package rather than "platform" packages
(e.g., "org.eclipse.swt"). Restated, what I mean is that the
boundaries between platform and IDE APIs are not clear at all, and I
guess that some people would say that's precisely the point, Eclipse
is both an IDE and a platform, and that's fine. Fine indeed, but what
does that matter? Well, keep in mind that Sun has NetBeans to take
care of. With its own community, and plugins, and additional tools,
and so on. Were Sun to ditch NetBeans in favor of Eclipse as a
platform, they would have to a) port all sorts of plugins and code to
the new platform, not to mention "convert" their community, both of
open source developers and third party developers, to Eclipse. This is
by no means impossible, but it's not easy either.
Then there is the small matter of SWT. If Sun joined Eclipse, SWT
would have to be included in the JDK would it not? Sun would have to
maintain and release simultaneously three different windowing toolkits
for each release: AWT, Swing, and SWT. That doesn't sound good either.
And while I like some things of SWT, ditching Swing completely is to
me not an option.
Why?
First, Swing does run on every single platform that the full
JDK runs on. For example, some users today are running clevercactus on
OS/2. That would be impossible if cc were written in SWT.
Second, Swing is, for all its complexity (or perhaps because of it)
and incredibly rich and flexible toolkit. Much more so than SWT.
Surely this will change as SWT evolves, but that's the reality at the
moment. With SWT you are forced to write custom components more often
than with Swing, as I discovered when I worked for about a week
replicating the clevercactus UI using SWT.
And, finally (although this is a small matter compared to the two
above), SWT still requires release of resources "by hand". I find this
a horrible step back. Moreover, debugging becomes more difficult.
Something might fail not just on your java code, not just on the
SWT-to-Native code (say, if you're running it on Windows), but
something might also fail at the Native component level. Suddenly bugs
have to be tracked on three levels. SWT will be buggy for a while,
particularly on non-Win32 platforms (Win32 support is pretty good).
And Native errors are very difficult to pin down.
Please note, these are not reasons why "Swing is better than SWT"
but reasons why I think Swing can't be discarded at the moment and for
some time to come. And that puts Sun in a difficult position.
Ideally, yes, Sun would join Eclipse, ditch AWT in favor of SWT
keeping the latter as an alternative to Swing, plus using something
like the SWTSwing
project to bridge between both worlds. But for the moment, staying
out of Eclipse might have been a good choice by Sun to avoid creating
even more confusion.

Cool! Toronto's
Deep Lake Water Cooling System was launched today. The system cuts
electricity consumption in commercial buildings by 75 per cent by
drawing near-freezing water through pipes extending five kilometres
out into Lake Ontario. According to the
city, the
system will save enough power to service more than 100 Toronto
office towers or 4,200 homes per year, and it will eliminate 40,000
tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Here's

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web?
Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web?
11/13/2003 05:16 PMSometimes you have to wonder about folks who are very quick to dash
off legal threats to websites that happen to mention their name. The
site
Urinal.net is a (surprisingly)
popular website posting pictures of urinals from around the world.
They were recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal and on BBC
radio
among others. The
site has hundreds of fans who regularly submit pictures of urinals
they take from locations all over the world. Basically, it's the sort
of bizarre, but amusing, site that makes the internet fun. Not
everyone seems to get the fun part, though. Someone from the Greater
Toronto Airports Authority (the GTAA) happened to find a page on the
site that includes two completely normal photos of urinals from the
Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, and decided that this
must be illegal. They've sent
an email threatening legal
action against the site if they did not remove the name of the
airport from the site. The site's owners complied, but were clear to
mention that the GTAA had muted them. In response, the GTAA has also
told them they cannot even mention the GTAA. Again, the site has
complied in
very amusing
fashion. The description of the airport now reads: "The [facility
in question] - covering 1,792 hectares (4,430 acres) - has been
[Canada's largest city's] main international [aircraft take-off and
landing facility] since 1939 when it was first known as Malton
[facility]." They also note that the "Gee-Tee-Aye-Aye" forbids them
from naming the actual airport. It makes you wonder, on what legal
authority the GTAA is claiming you cannot name their organization or
their airports. It's not likely that anyone is going to be confused
into believing that
urinal.net is the official website of the
Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. These days, people
seem very quick to pull out legal threats any time anyone so much as
mentions their name on a website.

Toronto copyright conference, Feb 11
Toronto copyright conference, Feb 11
02/01/2005 08:37 PMCory Doctorow:
If you're in Toronto on Feb 11, you should really check out this
copyright and technology conference at the University of Toronto -- it
looks wonderful.
The student-run Technology and Intellectual Property Group of the
University of Toronto will present a one-day academic conference
called "Sound Bytes/Sound Rights: Canada at the Crossroads of
Copyright Law." In 2004, the Standing Committee for Canadian Heritage
issued recommendations for changes to the Copyright Act broadening
copyright protections. In the same year, the Canadian courts headed in
the opposite direction by handing down important judgments recognizing
user rights. The conference will be a forum for law students and
academics as well as practicing lawyers, policy makers and those in
the music industry to hear about and discuss the emerging legal
framework for copyright law in Canada with a particular emphasis on
music and entertainment law.
Speakers will include musicians Paul Hoffert and Neil Leyton, Michael
Geist (Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the
University of Ottawa and author of the "Law Bytes" column in the
Toronto Star), Bob Young (co-founder of Red Hat Software), Sarmite
Bulte, MP (the chair of the 2004 standing committee), lawyers Ron
Dimock and Barry Sookman, Casey Chisick (professor of intellectual
property law at the University of Toronto), and Graham Henderson
(president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association). Also
speaking will be William W. Fisher III, director of the Berkman Center
for Internet and Society at Harvard University and author of the new
and important book "Promises to Keep: Law, Technology and the Future
of Entertainment".
The conference will be held in Flavelle House, University of Toronto
Faculty of Law, 78 Queen's Park, Toronto, on Friday, February 11, 2005
from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Lunch will be provided and a wine reception
is planned. Admission is $30.00 for pre-registration, $40.00 at the
door. Admission is free for college and university students but
registration beforehand is essential.
