The Wide Range of Abilities and Its
Impact on Computer Technology 01/18/2004 11:30 PM
In 2003, Microsoft Corporation commissioned Forrester Research, Inc., to conduct a study to measure the potential market of people in the United States who are most likely to benefit from the use of accessible technology for computers. Accessible technology enables individuals to adjust their computers to meet their visual, hearing, dexterity, cognitive, and speech needs. It includes both accessibility options built into products as well as specialty hardware and software products (assistive technology products ) that help individuals interact with a computer. The goals of this study were to identify the range of physical and cognitive abilities among working-age adults and current computer users in the United States, the types of difficulties and impairments that limit the scope of activities and their degree of severity, and the number of people who could potentially benefit from using accessible technology. This information, coupled with aging population trends, can help to explain the aging population's impact on computer use and need for accessible technology.

Friends With Benefits

Friends With Benefits 08/12/2004 11:21 AM
In the current issue of Wired magazine, a piece I wrote on social swap nets:

Think of them as eBay crossed with Napster, then injected with Friendster DNA. The newest social networking services merge three powerful Web functions - auctioning, file-sharing, and friend-of-a-friend socializing - to build digital barter economies. Unlike first-gen social networks, these communities are about more than getting laid and getting paid. These "social swap nets" help like-minded members pool digital resources - music, movies, games, even hardcover books.

Mediachest and SongBuddy are two early examples. They're still small (and size matters when it comes to a well-stocked "sharing pool"), but their very existence points to a new era in networked transactions, one in which online exchanges become more useful.

Here's how they work: Members browse one another's collections online using filters such as friend groups, geographic location, or other affinities. This isn't file-swapping in the old outlaw Napster sense. They can access one another's stuff, but the original copy literally traded with others, rather than downloaded and duplicated via P2P. Getting hold of the goods is mostly a low tech affair. Members often mail or hand-deliver items.

And the story is something, if you're a drinker, you probably already know. (I was so surprised by this article I wondered if it was sponsored by the booze industry. But then I mixed myself another drink; read the wonderfully-named, probably Guinness - and poteen-fuelled - Dublin Principles and drank its health anyway!)

The golden benefits of C'ing your PHP

The golden benefits of C'ing your PHP 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
I've seen some posts in response to my experiments C'ing my PHP code. Some of them have questioned the benefits. Well my experiments are that of a beginner (hint: remember the kiddie emoticons), so you have to take what i say with a grain of salt.

My initial conversion was the most commonly called function in the ADOdb api, MoveNext(). This function is just a wrapper to a database call, so there's not much to tune and a small speedup is only to be expected.

Finding things to tune is like looking for gold. We need to understand a bit about the geology of our code before we can hit paydirt. We are looking for functions which are frequently called, contain a substantial amount of PHP code, but not too complicated that it becomes a pain to port to C, preferably involves a lot of looping, and is unlikely to ever change (it's much less fun to maintain this than maintaining a secret love affair).

Well i just hit a rich seam. There is a function called ADORecordset::GetArray(), which creates a 2D array from a recordset. Now it calls the C function adodb_getall(). I did some global optimizations that are impossible to do in a PHP script, and the speed improvement is about 75%. This function is used to emulate record counting, so it's used in every query against oracle, mssql or any other commercial database.

As i learn more, things could get even faster.
