Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

CNN: Modulating the Debate

CNN: Modulating the Debate 11/11/2003 02:06 PM
"Mac or PC" question planted at the Rock the Vote debate. After much ridicule and criticism over her question, Brown University student Alexandra Trustman has written an Op-Ed to the campus Daily Herald explaining that CNN planted the question with her so they could "modulate the event" in order to keep the debate "light-hearted" making it easier for "the candidates to relate to a younger audience." Trustman, feeling that the question CNN gave her was not relevant, wrote a different, and more relevant she thought, question on "how, if elected, the candidates would use technology in their administrations." The executive producer told her just to read the card they had given her.


Howard Kurtz reports today that CNN regrets getting caught the producer's actions.

Up here in Canada, American politics are a spectator sport; never as good as a really great World Series but better than most Super Bowls.

XSLT debate and critique

XSLT debate and critique 06/05/2002 07:50 AM
XSLT was designed as a language for transforming XML documents into other documents (perhaps also XML). In essence, XSLT "transformations" are made of templates that match portions of input documents and correspondingly emit portions of output documents. The XSLT engine applies the appropriate templates (usually recursively) to input documents to yield output documents. Thus, XSLT seems perfect for our task. We can simply match the text portions of our input documents, perform our substitutions, and emit the results. But, alas, XSLT suffers from fundamental weaknesses that make it exceedingly difficult for many common tasks, and our text-conversion problem is one such task. Ken Holman, a noted teacher of XSLT has a good response:

Don't regard writing a stylesheet as writing a program, regard it as supplying to the processor a collection of templates, or "examples of the result tree", that the processor is going to use to build the result of the transformation.

Yes, it [XSLT] happens to be Turing Complete, so if you need to do programming things along the way (which, I claim, is *not* the norm in XSLT stylesheets), they are available to be used at the cost of shoehorning the activity into markup constructs. I agree it isn't a pretty programming language ... because it's primary purpose *isn't* programming, so that's okay!

They also say "Give a man a plough and he can farm the land, give a man a noose and he can ...". A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. - John

The Big Muni WiFi Debate

The Big Muni WiFi Debate 09/21/2004 04:43 PM
We've already written a bit about the massively overhyped story concerning Philadelphia government types thinking about covering the city in WiFi, but now the story is generating a big debate over municipal WiFi. MIT's Tech Review kicked it off by suggesting municipalities generally shouldn't be offering WiFi, because the costs of maintaining such a system are high and it's going to come from the taxpayers. Muniwireless shoots back accusing the article of being one-sided while ignoring plenty of successful muni wireless implementations. There are a lot of different issues here. On the technology side, it still seems like WiFi might not be the best solution, but that's (perhaps) a different discussion for a different post. The question of municipal providers of service opens up a whole different can of worms, many of which have been discu ssed before. Municipalities believe they can offer better service, stimulate the local economy and generally do a good thing for their constituents. Those against it, point out that it has the potential to waste taxpayer money in an area where private competition may be better suited. Of course, there's a third argument that gets almost no attention in all of this. If the government were to consider bandwidth to be something of a natural monopoly, then why not have the government build the backbone, but let anyone offer service on it? The benefit is that competition remains at the service end, and efforts aren't wasted duplicating the same technology buildout on the backend. The risk, however, is that the government would choose the wrong technology (maybe the question of whether WiFi is the wrong technology is relevant to this discussion after all) or do a bad job on the implementation. Already, many residential broadband offerings are a monopoly or duopoly situation, suggesting some market failure -- though that may simply be a function of time and technology (certainly wireless ISPs would like to think so). Still, most opposition to muni broadband is coming just a bit too loudly from providers in those monopoly/duopoly situations -- suggesting they know the real competitive threat isn't from upstarts, but from the government breaking control over their monopoly. No, muni broadband (wireless or otherwise) may not be the most efficient use of taxpayer money based on the way most locations are implementing it, but that doesn't mean the current broadband providers are doing a very good job serving their markets either. Letting local governments offer up broadband connectivity while letting others openly offer services on those networks is a model takes away many of the downsides of municipal broadband offerings while also fixing the market failure that has lead to less competition.

Harvard hosts a debate on whether or not
IT Is done 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

Apropos the mournful postings below on the state of IT... On Wednesday May 19 Harvard at 12:30 Eastern Time is hosting a debate on the question "Does IT Matter?"  I plan to attend (via telephone).  Because it is the business school the debate is priced for those who are already rich and/or work for the rich.  And because it is the business school the focus of the debate is probably going to be "does IT matter to profit-seeking corporations?"  I might try to get a few words in edgewise about how IT might be more transformative for poor countries than for rich countries.  In the U.S. we have magnificent roads, stores everywhere, and seemingly 3 SUVs per citizen.  So being able to do a transaction electronically isn't that much of a time-saver.  Someone in the Third World who has to ride a chicken bus over a terrible road for an entire day is going to appreciate being able to do a transaction from his local Internet cafe a lot more than someone who only saved a 10-minute ride in his Cadillac Escalade.

Cost of Going Digital Up for Debate
ht tp://www.dlib.org/dlib/december03/connaway/12connaway.html

In a study that compared the perceived costs to libraries of providing print and electronic materials, researchers found that librarians believe that labor, space requirements and material resources would be less costly in an all-digital library than in a paper library. However, those librarians expressed a wide range of views on exactly how much cheaper digital should be. Participants expressed some concern that higher salaries might be needed to attract and retain a more knowledgeable and skilled level of staff needed to effectively manage an all-digital library, thereby balancing out a substantial portion of the potential savings. Respondents also noted concerns related to the costs of managing both the digital and paper library simultaneously, which is the most common current scenario. The authors conclude that these uncertainties warrant the continued study of the resources needed to transition from a paper to a digital library.
