Holy Vandals, Holy Grail

Holy Vandals, Holy Grail 05/21/2004 11:17 AM
An historic monument in central England that may hold the key to the location of the Holy Grail was damaged by vandals on Tuesday. The BBC reports that "a gang of youths climbed on top of The Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough Hall" and started smashing away.

"The Shepherd's Monument is of international importance, both as a work of art and because of the legend that a baffling inscription on the monument provides clues to the true location of the Holy Grail," said the home's general manager Richard Kemp.

Interestingly, the vandalism came on the heels of a visit by former code-breakers from War II intent on cracking the 10-letter puzzle. The Shepherd's Monument is discussed in depth in the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, inspiration for The Da Vinci Code. Link to a National Public Radio piece about the code-breakers. Li nk to the BBC story on the vandalism. (Thanks, Kev!)

Disconnecting The Holy Grail

Disconnecting The Holy Grail 06/30/2004 07:19 PM
Last week, we wrote about the fight for the "triple play" of voice, video and data to the home over a single wide pipe. At the time, I wondered whether or not the cable companies and telcos were a little too focused on the "to the home" part -- and ignoring how wireless might matter. Over at TheFeature, I've tried to explore this idea in further detail and look at how the move to a wireless world may take some of the thunder away from the triple play battle. The triple play is still important, but it may now need to be an anywhere, anytime to any device kind of triple play, rather than a fat pipe connected to your home.

Looking For The Holy Grail In Online
Gaming 05/19/2004 12:03 PM
For all the talk about all of these new online worlds that companies have been rushing out, none have really been living up to a few of the early success like EverQuest. Even then, while there is a strong EverQuest community, it hasn't been as big of a success as some traditional offline video games. While many companies quickly jumped into the space, they're now realizing that they may have hit a wall in growing the market. While new games are trying to appeal to a different market, none have been that successful so far. The problem with most online games is that they're community based and, as such, the community needs to keep playing. That makes it difficult for the "casual" gamer to take part. If they don't login for a few days, they're way behind everyone they were playing with. Meanwhile, there's still the stigma attached to online games of it basically being the online version of nerd camp - taking the old ideas of Dungeons and Dragons and placing them online. This isn't particularly appealing to the less-nerdy set - even in times when being considered a geek isn't quite so bad as it once was. Some are hoping that online sports games may change things - especially since it will involve more time specific games. Sports games have a start and an end, and the world doesn't continue moving all of the time. The games that are simulating a real world have the problem that, just like the real world, they never seem to stop. At this point, it's still quite early to write off the entire space. Someone will come out of nowhere with an online game that doesn't fit into any of these categories and catches on like wildfire. Just like "reality TV" caught on out of nowhere in the TV realm, we'll suddenly have hundreds of online games that no one expected.

Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel

Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel 05/20/2004 11:37 AM
The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown says he considered including another theory in the book that would have inflamed Christians even more than the notion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and made babies. What if Jesus survived the crucifixion? According to this AP Article, "Brown said the theory is backed by a number of 'very credible sources,' but that he ultimately decided it was too flimsy." I'm burned out on the whole Holy Blood, Holy Grail trip though. Brown's next book, set in Washington, revolves around the Masons! Apparently, the dust jacket of The Da Vinci Code contains a clue about the sequel. Link

The Quest for Interoperability 03/14/2003 01:28 AM
For years, enterprise software firms have used the promise of interoperability to sell their wares and the lack of it to chastise their competition. But now that Web services have arrived, and products such as the UAN are becoming a reality, interoperability is no longer such a weighty issue. Or is it?

The Quest for ASP.NET Scalability

The Quest for ASP.NET Scalability 05/31/2004 11:39 PM
At the height of the dot-com boom in the mid-1990's, many companies burst onto the scene as Application Services Providers (ASPs) hoping to capitalize on the wave of Internet success stories, and rake in some loot. Aside from the unfortunate market collapse that followed, ASPs had other issues to deal with such as training staff to effectively build and manage a secure, reliable and highly available operation. Today, Web-enabling architecture is prevalent, particularly since Web services have become a staple for most applications, and the growing pains of ASPs past are feeding businesses everywhere with a hunger for successful implementations for 24x7 applications. As Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) themes spread across organizations, applications are now reaching wider audiences than ever before. Gone are the days where you can sling some code, ship product, and cross your fingers.
