When not to use a word processor

When not to use a word processor 12/24/2004 01:11 PM
Word processors are too often made to do much more than they were originally designed for. If a word processing program is all you've ever had or used for your projects, you may have a tendency to use it for every writing job that you have, even if it is more difficult or inconvenient to do so. For specialized jobs there are specialized tools, so what is it that you are intending to create, and what software should you use? In this article we'll discuss some specialized content authoring tools available for GNU/Linux that you should know about.

This toolbox assists the XML content author and developer working with the new XML features of Word 2003. The Word XML Toolbox requires that .NET Programmability Support is enabled. For .NET Programmability Support to be installed during the Office 2003 setup, the PIAs require the .NET Framework 1.1 already be installed. It is recommended that you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 before you install Microsoft Office 2003. With the .NET Framework 1.1 already installed, a complete installation of Office 2003 will install all of the PIAs.

Get Up, Stand Up

Get Up, Stand Up 05/09/2004 12:18 AM
I was at a conference near Washington recently, attended by a sampling of geeks from across the intelligence community; every three-letter agency you’ve ever heard of plus lots of military and some law enforcement. They were talking about deploying computer applications and, one after another, described about how they would “stand up” the document repository or the search engine or the message router or whatever. Over the years I’ve heard a lot of people talking about working on a lot of application deployments, but this usage is new to me. I wonder if it’s a defense/intelligence thing, or something that’s out there in the corporate world too, these days? It works well in conversation, so I think it may spread.

So, where do we stand on this?

Stand Alone journalism

Stand Alone journalism 06/25/2004 01:34 PM

Standing room

Like some other well-known bloggers before her, Chris Nolan is working on turning her blog into more of a revenue-generati ng business. I like Chris's stuff, even as I sometimes disagree with it, because it's sharp and unpredictable and rooted in her years of experience as a reporter, and so I wish her well in her efforts to sell ads and subscriptions.

Lord knows it's not an easy road. Reading Chris's manifesto for "Stand-Alone Journalism" -- she argues that's a better label for what she does than "blogging" -- brought me back to some distant memories from the dawn of the Web. After learning HTML and participating in the San Franciso Free Press experiment, I thought to myself, hey, there's nothing to stop me from starting my own publication on the Web!

So I did. In January 1995 I took a week's vacation time from my job at the SF Examiner and published a site. I focused on what was then quaintly known as "multimedia"; I called it Kludge, as a nod to its essential clumsiness and improvised nature, and I posted an issue. This was years before personal content management software, needless to say; it's all just cruddy hand-coded HTML and crude self-designed graphics. But the articles weren't so bad (hey, here's an interview with Marc Canter! Here's a satirical take on the CD-ROM explosion/implosion!).

What I quickly realized was that, as much fun as writing, editing and designing all that material was -- bringing me back as it did to my teenage roots in mimeograph publishing -- it was just the beginning of getting a Web site going. If I was serious about making it something more than a labor of love -- if I wasn't going to do all that work on my vacation days -- I'd need to figure out how to get people to visit the site, and how to sell ads, and so forth. My best efforts involved dumping a pile of flyers in the lobby of a multimedia conference at Moscone Center. (While I was doing that, a couple of guys named Jerry Yang and Dave Filo stood at a booth under a big Yahoo banner, giving away T-shirts.)

After briefly toying with the notion of applying to AOL's Greenhouse program for funding, I thought, nah. When David Talbot started talking about a new publication he wanted to create, I helped persuade him that he should do it on the Web instead of in print. Salon turned out to be a great place for me to write and edit and build Web sites without having to wear all the hats myself (though there have certainly been times during the last decade when my pate has felt a little crowded).

Today, would-be "Stand-Alone Journalists" can rely on much better software tools to create and publish their work. They can plug into far better organized online networks to spread the word of their activities. And they can even turn to simple plug-in approaches to advertising, like AdWords or BlogAds, to try to bring in some cash. But being a "Stand-Alone Journalist" still requires a combination of journalistic and entrepreneurial traits that's rare. Being a good journalist requires the ability to not mind pissing people off sometimes (Nolan, whose career has had its share of controversy, is no shirker in this regard); being a good entrepreneur demands the ability to charm people as often as possible. Both pursuits, of course, demand persistence, patience, and, in the face of indifference, a stubborn belief in the value of one's undertaking.

When I read Nolan's proposed label for the solo-blogger-journalist, the first thing that popped into my mind was the famous quote from Ibsen's Dr. Stockman in "Enemy of the People": "The strongest man in the world is the one who stands most alone." Standing alone has many wonderful advantages -- it's a stirring posture. But remember what happens to old Dr. Stockman: He is right to blow the whistle about the polluting of his town's waters, but he's dreadfully naive about the world around him, he's ultimately ineffective, and he fails to accomplish much besides his own martyrdom.

So I'm not sure the "Stand-Alone Journalist" label is one that will stick. The linked nature of the Web is ultimately even more important than the independence of the blogger. Standing alone is useless without being connected.

Sketch's vet told me that his lungs are clear, he's bright and active, and he's looking strong . . . but his kidney levels are still elevated from the lasix, and he isn't eating.

It really worries me that he's not eating, but I hope it's just because he's tired of being in the hospital, and he wants to come home and sleep on my his bed.

They told me that I should come down and visit him, because maybe he'll eat for me. Sketch has always been a stubborn cat, but he's extremely affectionate, and I'm hoping that when I get down there and give him some love, and tell him how excited we all are for him to come home, he'll perk up and chow down.

I'm scared. I don't like it that he's not eating.
