Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Longhorn, will be compatible with high-definition DVD, the company's Japanese unit said Monday. The show of support from Microsoft is considered a boost for the next-generation, blue-laser DVD technology, which is promoted by Japanese conglomerates NEC and Toshiba. Blue light, with a shorter wavelength than the red laser used in conventional DVD recorders, can read and store data at the higher densities needed for high-definition recordings.

The Shifted DJ?

The Shifted DJ? 06/21/2004 02:07 PM

One of my goals for the near future is to set up a Shoutcast stream of the music on my home computer in order to listen to it on the go on my Treo 600 using the fabulous Pocket Tunes program. Icecast may also be an option, but that's as far I've gotten in my research.

Tonight I had another thought. If I put a TV tuner card in my computer, will it receive Comcast's digital music stations (which are commercial-free), which I could then turn into Shoutcast (or other) streams? Can I make my own version of satellite radio (albeit an inferior one) using a service to which I already subscribe?

Please leave/send comments or suggestions about this idea!

The Shifted DJ Is in the House 06/28/2004 10:08 AM

So I finally got a Shoutcast Server working with the WinAmp DSP plug-in on my home PC, and I'm able to stream it to Pocket Tunes on my Treo. How cool is that?!

Of course, now I have to find the time to create playlists for the various scenarious in which I envision myself using this. For example, the first one I want to create is a baseball-themed one for between innings at Brent's games. I plan to wow the other parents with this one! After that, maybe a library-themed one that I can play as people slowly congregate in the room where I am giving a presentation.

Oh, the possibilities!...

Shifted Libraries on WEB4LIB

Shifted Libraries on WEB4LIB 03/14/2005 06:23 PM

Over on the WEB4LIB mailing list, there's been a fascinating discussion evolving about marketing, ubiquity, and library web services. It kind of starts here in a comment about Gmail but you'll need to use the date index to follow where it goes.

You already know where I fall in the debate (I'm closely aligned with Kare n Schneider's and Alan e Wilson's responses), so I'll just encourage you to read through the whole thing (watch the subject lines - they morph into new ones) because it's one of the better discussions I've seen on the topic lately with lots of good points. Finally, we're seeing a more aggressive conversation!

One thread I do want to highlight (well, I hope it becomes a thread), is Stephen De Gabrielle's attempt to suggest a course of action. There were other suggestions, but this is a new one that could help long-term if we can get the vendors to agree to it.

"Why don't we have a common API for all ILS? - and demand these of our ILS vendors.(Libraries have always led the way in standards.)

I assume this list is as good a place as any to start the process.

What do list members think would be appropriate services for such and API?"

Maybe then we could focus all of our various programming efforts on the greater good instead of just our own local catalogs.

A Very Shifted OCLC Blog

It was only a matter of time. OCLC started to "get" RSS and began providing a feed for research announcements earlier this year, and now they're blogging, too. Well, a few of them are, anyway, and it's the folks behind the Environmental Scan leading the way. Why? Because It's All Good. :-)

"A cool blog from OCLC Online Computer Library Center staff about all things future that impact libraries and library users. A conversation that starts with the Environmental Scan and goes from there."

And there's an Atom feed since it's on Blogger.

Microsoft Strips Longhorn

Microsoft Strips Longhorn 08/30/2004 06:52 AM

I just don't get it. Microsoft is what the richest company in America yet they can't get key features into a product in time. The employ what 10,000 people over there in Redmond. Geez all I can say is thank goodness Windows XP is performing the way it is because I remember when they released that abortion of a operating system called Windows ME. I wonder if Longhorn will end up being like ME. [Dan Gillmor]

Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft

Leaner Longhorn From Microsoft 12/30/2004 02:26 PM
Partners first heard whispers about Longhorn, the innovative next-generation of Windows with a completely new kernel, way back in 2002 or earlier. It was supposed to be in beta in 2003. Didn't happen. This year, Microsoft finally 'fessed up about its Longhorn travails, and in the process unveiled some significant technical compromises it would make to get the operating system out the door for its official release date of late 2006 (for the client) and late 2007 (for the server).

The compromise in question is the decision to take Longhorn to market sans its most heralded, new feature, WinFS (Windows File System). WinFS is a unified file system that would sport innovative search capabilities that make retrieving an array of desktop system file types much simpler. Apparently, developing WinFS is anything but simple, however, and certainly not easy enough to do by the first release of Longhorn. To soften the blow, Microsoft has promised to deliver two other key Longhorn components, the Web services/communications subsystem Indigo and the graphics subsystem Avalon, in the first iteration of the OS. In addition to that, Indigo and Avalon will also be released as individual components for use on existing Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 machines. The intent is to let developers and integrators at least get started with some elements of the technology, and it's a decision that many partners have applauded.
