After downloading and installing the ReSharper VS.NET plugin earlier tonight, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with this first release. While it's still got quite a while to go to before it gets close to IDEA, JetBrains did manage to add a lot of very useful functionality to VS.NET. Here's an overview of the current functionality of this plugin:... (658 words)

iRiver N10 First Impressions

iRiver N10 First Impressions 08/06/2004 10:01 AM

SorobanGeeks passes on some first impressions straight from Korea of iRiver's new wearable flash memory MP3 player, the N10, as well as some pictures that are probably stock photography but that I hadn't seen; this picture showing how the headphones double as a necklace was especially interesting, I thought. You guys know how I feel about flash memory players -- I like them, smaller is better, but I just hate paying so much for so little storage -- but on up side the prices for the N10 are at least somewhat more reasonable than some players in the past -- a 1GB version should sell for around $440. If that's still too painful just wait. The hardware to decode MP3s is a fraction of the cost and the price of flash memory should continue to fall for a while.

And you know what's making me come around on these flash players? Cool designs like pendants. That's what they should have been doing in the first place. If I'm going to get reamed for a 1GB, it should at least look cooler/more interesting than an hard disk player.

Bluespoon AX First Impressions

Bluespoon AX First Impressions 12/30/2004 11:20 AM

I've held off from buying a Bluetooth headset for my own because they mostly all look like my ear is crapping a Transformer. The Bluespoon AX is small enough, though, that I'm going to pick one up—I've used too many to know how handy they are and I think I can handle the $100 price of the AX. X-Gadget got a hold of the first batch of headsets (there are only a handful in the US at the moment) and have their initial impressions online. The first batch had a weird ringing that appears to be fixed in the production models.

First impressions of San Diego

First impressions of San Diego 02/10/2004 02:56 AM
I arrived in San Diego fairly late, and went straight to my hotel. In the interest of economy, I had decided to stay in the local Hostel. I wouldn't recommend it. Speaking politely, it is grimy. They sell ear plugs at the front desk. I don't mind spartan, but I like clean. I've stayed in $12 hotels in Central America that were cleaner and had more amenities. And there is no net connection, not even dial-up! I would happily trade the old TV in the room for a phone line, and both of them for a good cleaning. Oh well, I don't expect to spend much time in the hotel, and luckily I used HTTrack Website Copier to mirror the O'Reilly Conference website before I left Berkeley, so at least I have conference resources locally. After getting settled in my hotel room, I decided to go for a walk before going to bed, and I wandered over to the Westin where the conference is going to be held. Not having a clue as to what the neighborhood was like late at night, I decided not to bring my computer with me. The sight of a Hooters a block away from my hotel didn't fill me with confidence about the security of the area. I had never seen a Hooters before - I thought they were a mythical chain, equivalent to unicorns. Guess not. I suspect I have some culture shocks coming, on my third trip to Southern California in my 20 years living in California. I had a lovely walk over to the Westin. The air was balmy, and it was comfortable walking in shirt sleeves. The streets in the Gaslamp district were mostly empty, except for a few straggling partiers, drunks, and homeless folks. I wandered into the lounge in the Westin, and found a number of geeks taking advantage of the free wireless in the bar. I had a drink and watched the digerati arrive and gather. Many of the same people who I always see at these conferences -- the dour Dan Gillmor, the ever polite Doc Searls, the bubbling Cory Doctorow, plus the crew from O'Reilly -- the mysterious Rael Dornfest, and the earnest Schuyler Erle, had gathered around the tables. There were also lots of people I've never met, like Jon Lebkowsky and a group of young European hackers swapping jet-lag stories. After my drink...

First impressions of Tiger...

First impressions of Tiger... 06/28/2004 04:31 PM

A few first impressions of Apple's upcoming Operating System: Tiger:

• Spotlight - basically an Apple native verstion of Launchbar with a few self-evidently nice features (searching Mail). After using Launchbar for a while I can state without question that it feels like part of the OS after a while, so if the Apple version has the similar ability to run it without using the mouse, then I'll be pretty happy. I doubt Objective Development will be, of course...
• iChat AV - the new version allows you to conference call ten people and video chat with loads of people too. That's pretty cool. I'm pretty bloody impressed by that. It's going to be pretty awesome and totally what I've been hoping they'd do. It fits in really well with some other thinking I've been doing...
• Safari RSS - sites with RSS feeds are marked when you go to them, which is cool, and then you can subscribe to them directly through the interface. I'm not convinced by their interaction design here - I suspect I'll keep using NetNewsWire for the time being - but it's certainly a positive step that can't help but make RSS penetration...
• Dashboard - basically this one is a fucking rip off of Konfabulator and I'm pretty pissed off about it. I'm not a particular fan of the paradigm, but I don't think that's pertinent - unlike RSS feeds and the Launchbar knock-off there doesn't seem to me to be really any reason for building this into the OS, it's not particularly interesting or powerful and it really does seem just like nicking someone else's ideas and lobbing them into your Operating System because you can. Harsh, Steve. Harsh...
• Automator - as far as I can tell this is a GUI for AppleScript, allowing people like me who get scared by even the simplest of scripting languages to automate tasks quickly and easily without ending up dribbling into a cup. My personal jury is out on how useful it'll actually be on a day-to-day basis but that doesn't mean that I'm not impressed. AppleScript for the rest of us?
• VoiceOver - a spoken interface for the Mac. I'm not really qualified to comment on the technology, but certainly the aspiration is good and important and I don't doubt it'll serve Apple well in cracking governmental markets. My only quibble - I'm not so impressed by the little white man they made in Illustrator to put in the logo. He looks a bit lame and ... bendy ...
• .Mac sync - a revised version of iSync with a simpler UI and apparently some developer hooks. It still pisses me off that you have to have a .Mac account to do any syncing across the internet. I can't quite believe that function is worth the $60 a year, nor do I think it's even vaguely conceivable that you couldn't explain to someone how to set up a server to handle that stuff themselves... Seems like a slightly shitty attempt to drill money out of you in an entirely random way...
• Better Unix - neat! I think!
• XCode 2.0 - wish I understood it!
• System Wide Metadata Indexing - this is seriously cool and API'd up the wazoo so hopefully it will start to lay the foundations of the Finder technologies of the future...

All in all the big news for the operating system is the integration of search and metadata technologies into the heart of the Operating System. The Safari RSS and iChat AV stuff is pretty cool too and everything else looks like tweaks, gimmicks or outright rip-offs. I wonder when it's out?

The good and the ugly

The good and the ugly 11/13/2003 07:42 PM

PHP.net has a new feature on their search page - a really nice implementation of an auto complete text widget in Javascript. Even better, the search page is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and uses CSS for the layout. Let's hope this is an indication of things to the come for the rest of the site, which still mostly consists of tag soup.

Here's the ugly bit: the javascript for the auto complete function is deliberately obfuscated. Now I know that this decision is completely up to the author of the script, but personally I find it exasperating. PHP is an open source project, and obfuscation in this way is the antithesis of the open source ideal. A big part about open source is that people shouldn't have to invent something twice - why waste duplicated effort when sharing code costs nothing and benefits everyone? I'm sure the author had their reasons for hiding the code in this way but to me it seems like a wasted opportunity to teach site visitors a useful new trick. A bug concerning the obfuscation has already been raised in PHP's bug tracker but was closed without a full explanation.

Obfuscation of client side code such as Javascript is a pretty futile exercise in any case. Most of the effect of the obfuscation can be easily reversed using a tool such as Jesse Ruderman's view variables bookmarklet, which displays all variables on a page (including ones that contain decoded content from obfuscated variables) and pretty-prints functions to make them more readable.

It's impossible to prevent "theft" of your Javascript, but if you really want to stop people from using it the best you can do is to place a copyright notice in the code and ask people to contact you for licensing options. If it's on the web, people can take it. Clear copyright messages are a far more ethical deterrent than ineffective tricks.

The ugly underbelly of the web 12/24/2003 11:04 AM

The longer I work with large corporate intranets, the more I am amazed at how ugly they are. Ugly in that special Internet sense: they use unusual authentication schemes, have plain weird URL design, the list goes on. I particularly find the URL design annoying: in an intranet redesign, you're often required to recombine existing stuff, but if pages don't have unique URL's you're kinda stuck. What was ever wrong with giving every destination page a unique URL?

Snapstream Firefly Impressions

Snapstream Firefly Impressions 06/25/2004 07:15 AM

Snapstream's Firefly is in some ways, perfect. The install is easy, the layout of the buttons seems logical, the Firefly software never crashed on me (with one almost-exception, which I'll get to in a minute), and for most of the functionality it offers, it just worked.

Oh, what is it? It's an RF remote control for your PC, specifically oriented for a Home Theater PC.

Snapstream sent me out a unit, as well as gave me an exclusive look at its "Snapstream Spotlight" suite of software, a bundle of services from other companies that offer crippled or demo versions to let you get a feel for their use; companies like Movielink, Live365, or NewsGator. Let me talk about the Firefly in general, for a moment, then we'll get to the Spotlight.

Orange SPV C500 First Impressions

Orange SPV C500 First Impressions 08/30/2004 06:26 AM

When reader Martin McNeil asked us why we hadn't talked much about his new phone, the Orange SPV C500, we did the logical thing and asked him to do our job for us. Since Marty is a sucker, he actually did it. We're going to start making everybody answer their own questions (and why does he have American quarters?)

Orange has recently released a new SmartPhone in the UK, France and Netherlands dubbed the SPV C500. It is the fourth handset in their �signature� phone series in that it carries their brand, although the phone is actually manufactured in Taiwan by HTC. This particular handset is also available from QTek as the 8010 and i-mate as the Smartphone 3. It will doubtless be carried by other providers and resellers with their particular branding.
