Google and the Coming Search Wars,
Revisited 04/06/2005 02:10 AM
Charles H. Ferguson writes, “As some will know, I wrote about the future of Google for the January 2005 issue of Technology Review. In that article, I argued that the search market will become enormously larger and more diverse than presently, encompassing many forms of personal, internal corporate, for-sale proprietary, and public data stored in a wide variety of systems, ranging from PCs to iPods to corporate servers. Then I asserted that Google’s leadership position…

Engine Results

Google Revisited: Comparing Search
Engine Results 10/08/2002 09:33 PM
Google Revisited: Comparing Search Engine Results With the recent change in Google's ranking (and, in apologies to Mark Pilgrim, I now think Google has some real errors in the new ranking when I didn't think so before, but it's still not as bad as some are making it out to be), I thought it might be interesting to look at how Google compares for a specitic search with other engines. And I picked a query that has relevance to me -- Scott Johnson. No quotes, no phrases, just those two words (except for AllTheWeb which gets a special mention for automatically adding quotes). All I'm measuring is not which page comes up first but where a page that is related to me comes up. Sometimes it's a page from my website, sometimes it's a blog page and sometimes it's my O'Reilly book catalog entry. Google -- # 1 All the Web -- No Quotes -- #9 All the Web -- With Auto Inserted Quotes -- #3 HotBot -- #15 Lycos -- #6 Teoma -- #1 LookSmart (inktomi powered results) -- #31 Wisenut -- #1 Alta Vista -- #1 What's really interesting here is that almost all of this is almost certainly related to my blog. I didn't have anywhere near these kind of results before I was a blogger. It's also extremely interesting to me the similarities between Google, Teoma, Wisenut and Alta Vista. That's just plain shocking to me. True the comparison isn't entirely valid since they result in different pages at times but these searches all give results related to me. Lessons From All This There are two easy lessons from all this: Right now the single best search engine optimization technique? A simple weblog. And I know that Google seems to treat radio.weblogs.com as a highly valid source of input so I recommend Radio. But I think it really matters that you blog regularly and somewhat consistently. Don't spend exorbitant fees on search engine optimization. As ranking algorithms have gotten much more complex without explicit, inside knowledge of how the engines work it is very unclear to me that it works at all anymore. I suspect that you'll get dramatically better results by becoming a blogger.

Harnessing Evil for the power of...
well, less evil 06/05/2005 11:55 PM
There are days I think the $WORK_PROJECT is an exercise in extended programming irony. The parrot code my compiler generates for $WORK_LANGUAGE makes heavy use of continuations. Really heavy use of continuations, to the point where reports are taking (and discarding) three continuations per record plus another two or three per page of the output. For a language which doesn't have functions, blocks, or lexical variables, and whose idea of sophisticated control flow is goto or gosub to bare labels. Go figure....

IT Investor's Journal: Behind the
infamous Oracle vs. PeopleSoft drama 02/10/2004 10:47 PM
Larry Ellison is certainly determined not to give up on acquiring PeopleSoft. But with $26 per share, he may have finally hit the price. Oracle raised its bid to $26 per share, up 33% from its prior bid of $19.50 per share. Provided (stress provided) Oracle gets regulatory approval, then it's possible that the deal can get done here. Craig Conway, PeopleSoft's Chairman and CEO, has made his point and could be ready to give in. His golden parachute, coupled with the moving up of the shareholders' meeting, gives me the feel that something could be going on. Or maybe this is just more tactics in defense ... hard to say.

Longtime readers will probably remember this, and I hope that new readers enjoy it as much as I do.

Strings, revisited 06/16/2004 10:49 PM
So, I finally did the last draft of the bytecode/assembly level string design for Parrot. It was a mixed bag--the per-string language tag is gone (darn!) but national character sets stay (yay!) with a set of "It's all Unicode no matter what you say" string ops thrown into the mix. Like any other engineering task with multiple conflicting requirements and strong proponents of different schemes, it's safe to say that everyone's unhappy with the result, but I think everyone can make do with what we have. What ultimately resulted, if you don't feel like going and looking up the post...

OPML Revisited

OPML Revisited 03/14/2005 05:44 PM

OPML is a simple, widely used, yet often misunderstood, XML format created by Dave Winer.  IMHO, misunderstandings stem from overexposure to traditional ways of using XML.  I must admit, I also laughed at OPML when I first looked at it years ago.  But when I cocked my head (a technique anyone can learn from their dogs), it began to make a lot of sense.

This is what I saw:

Infoset:

• An OPML document is a collection of objects.
• An object may have properties and contents.
• An object's properties are unordered map of name/value pairs.
• An object's contents are ordered list of objects.

Syntax:

• Objects are encoded as XML elements named 'outline'.
• Properties are encoded as XML attributes.
• Content objects are encoded as child XML elements.

Once you get this picture in your mind, you start to appreciate OPML more.  Throw in display and interaction semantics builted into the format along with distributed object linking and embedding Dave often raves about and you got quite a beast of a language.

As to the question of who defines the properties, the answer is everybody does.  OPML is a kind of Emergent Markup Language in that common properties are expected to emerge through industry practices rather than standardization through committees.

There are some shortcomings with OPML though which I would like to see addressed.

OPML Wiki

OPML needs a wiki for OPML developers to interact with each other and to document how each of them are using OPML so that standard or type-specific properties may emerge.

Structured Properties

One weakness of XML is that, while elements may be structured, attributes may not.  Since properties are encoded as XML attributes in OPML, (semi) structured properties (i.e. HTML fragments) have to be encoded at the cost of readability.

I think the need for a wiki is far more serious than the need for structured property support.

Python Revisited

Python Revisited 01/01/2004 02:44 PM
Happy New Year! Let's talk shop as usual.

Recently, we've been looking at developing some server software in Python. This is my first serious look at Python since 1999, and I'm impressed with the improvements. It's a couple of years older than PHP, and certainly more mature. Python has a reputation for being more rationally designed than PHP or Perl, and in general that's true; but you can still see Python's age in the fact that there are many APIs that do the same thing (eg. the string functions).

PHP is still a better language for web development because it is a simpler language, easy to teach to Java or Javascript programmers, has more flexible string processing, and designed to work well with templates.

But as a general programming language, Python has its advantages. You can build sophisticated networking software with Python that supports threads and asynchronous connections with reasonable efficiency (though Python doesn't really take advantage of multiple CPU's due to an internal global lock). The Twisted and Dibbler frameworks are testament to that. Python's C API is well documented and Python can be easily embedded into 3rd party apps.

Python is also a good source of design ideas. I have noticed that othe rs have realized that many good Java ideas do not translate well to PHP. There is an impedence mismatch; many things that are hard in Java are easy in PHP. It makes sense to create an elaborate framework in Java to do something that's hard in Java, but to apply the same to PHP suggests more energy than sense. In contrast, I suspect that Python and PHP are more complementary than we all suspect...

PS: We also had a look at developing the same server software using .NET. However .NET doesn't have builtin support for open protocols such as POP3 and IMAP. I continue to be amused at the (intentional?) omissions in the .NET framework.
