Judith is the winner - for sure

Judith is the winner - for sure 06/08/2004 05:02 PM

Yes indeed Judith wins the SocialText Wiki users contest - though I have to say that I spent time WORKING in each of these Wikis - seven days a week!

I'm now up to 6 - now that the Supernova Wiki is up and running again.  Ross forgot to update the rideboard though - that's pretty funny.  Looking for rides in from Dulles.

Tr acking Social Software Across the World Wild Web.

There are soooo many different ways to track news, memes, conversations, chatter, and just plain old noise throughout the blogosphere, the webosphere, and beyond. However, a number of my most successful tracking mechanisms usually lead back to… Google.

According to a Reuters news item—Google Leads Web Search But Challenges Loom -S&P: “Forty-eight percent of search engine users … use Google most overall, compared with 20 percent for Yahoo Inc. ... , 14 percent for Microsoft Corp.’s … MSN and 7 percent for AOL” (survey results courtesy of Standard & Poor’s and InsightExpress).

One of the many tools that I utilize is Google Web Alerts—which notifies me whenever new pages, related to my searching interests, float to the surface of the Googlesphere.

This morning—while peeking at the shavings from the Internet iceberg tip that Google continuously mines and deposits into my Gmail account—up popped an old bit on Socialtext.

Back on December 30, 2003, Neil J. Rubenking for PC Magazine rated Socialtext four out of a possible five bullets—making it a PC Magazine “Editors’ Choice” product. (Don’t think I blogged this one.)

 
PS: Hey Marc Canter—there are 16 entries in “My Workspaces” on Socialtext. Could one possibly be ahead of you in just this one area?:-)

Judith discovers Tribe Cast

Judith discovers Tribe Cast 07/07/2004 12:55 PM

I got to see Judith Meskill again at Supernova. She's one of the smartest cookies in the social networking scene - giving the 'Many-to-Many' folks a run for the money - literally.

Here's Judith's post of Tribe Cast (which is turning Tribe into a web service.)

Ross Mayfield’s weblog tipped me a while back to Tribecaster.

Looks great in the right hand column Ross.

How many folks still ‘read’ weblogs by visiting them? How many ‘read’ via RSS sans all of the cool thingies in the left and right hand columns of nicely laid out weblogs such as Ross Mayfield’s?

Has anyone else been utilizing this feature of Tribe?

Comments?

Coincidentally, as I clicked through to Ross Mayfield’s weblog today, my ‘image’ appeared at the top of the list of ‘Friends’. I never really expanded my group of so-called friends on Tribe, Ryze, LinkedIn, etc.

My largest group of ‘friends’ is on Orkut—where I am enamoured of the ‘baseball trading cards’ effect of a few full pages of snapshots of those I have met and/or collaborate with online.

JUDITH
MESKILL'S WEBLOG PERFECT PITCH
COMPETITION 05/02/2004 03:29 PM

Judith Meskill, who simultaneously runs two weblogs (Knowledge Notes and The Social Software Weblog), recently ran a contest to write the Perfect Pitch for weblogs in business. The idea was to write a very short speech (short enough to deliver in a short elevator ride) that would persuade a senior executive of a company to introduce blogs in their company. I was honoured to have been asked to be one of the judges. The winners were Lee LeFever, Randal Moss, Jack Vinson and Michael Angeles. Lee's prize winning pitch was: First, think about the value of the Wall Street Journal to business leaders. The value it provides is context — the Journal allows readers to see themselves in the context of the financial world each day, which enables more informed decision making.   With this in mind, think about your company as a microcosm of the financial world.  Can your employees see themselves in the context of the whole company? Would more informed decisions be made if employees and leaders had access to internal news sources?   Weblogs serve this need.  By making internal websites simple to update, weblogs allow individuals and teams to maintain online journals that chronicle projects inside the company. These professional journals make it easy to produce and access internal news, providing context to the company — context that can profoundly affect decision making.  In this way, weblogs allow employees and leaders to make more informed decisions through increasing their awareness of internal news and events. Now the winners get to turn the tables on us judges. This time we (Dina Mehta, Don Park, Flemming Funch, Jim McGee, Lilia Efimova, Martin Dugage, Phil Wolff, Ross Mayfield, Scott Allen, Ton Zijlstra and yours truly) have to write a Perfect Pitch for blogs in business, and the winners get to judge our entries. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I can't tell you my entry because Judith is going to keep the identity of each submission hidden, so that no one is swayed by our awesome reputations in casting their vote ;-) Read more about the contest he re.

Xeni on Dennis Miller, via BT 04/14/2005 02:25 AM

I'm trying out blogtorrent on my server here, and my first test file is a 12 minute clip from tonight's Dennis Miller show with Harry Shearer, Xeni Jardin, and Mickey Kaus, as they talked about blogging. I think all three were great though I can barely stomach Dennis Miller these days.

Throughout the late 90's, I used to get HBO solely so I could see the new Dennis Miller shows on every Friday night and I used to look forward to watching them live. But then everything changed and his sense of humor was replaced by anger, and his showed died soon after. Oh well.

How Berkeley Can You Be?

How Berkeley Can You Be? 10/29/2003 01:16 AM
I finally got around to sorting through and captioning the photos I took of the How Berkeley Can You Be? parade and Art Car fest that was held in Berkeley at the end of September. Going through the pictures reminded me of some of the reasons I like living in Berkeley so much. Sure, people regularly overdo political correctness here, and there were a lot of "Only in Berkeley" groups and moments in the parade, but on the whole it was an amazing display of the diversity, creativity and sense of humor that make this a fun place to live. There were also a lot of self-mocking groups poking fun at Berkley. I love it when people retain the ability to laugh at themselves, and it is a highly desirable quality for living in Berkeley. Luckily, it is also a frequently displayed quality. One of the stars of the parade was the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir, an art car from Houston Texas, of all places. 5 miles of wiring that must have taken months of work to put together, all for a bunch of plastic fish and lobsters who sing while being conducted by large crustacean. It sounds silly, but it was wonderful. I could track its progress down University Avenue by the gales of laughter is spawned as it passed by. After the parade, people crowded around for hours and were treated to special performances by the Choir. I got some good photos. If it comes to your town, don't miss it. Or it even has its own website, with a very funny account of its construction, you can check it out at www.sashimitabernaclechoir.org....

Xeni on The Dennis Miller Show, Wed Apr
13 04/13/2005 03:52 AM
Xeni Jardin: I'll be one of the guests on tonight's episode of CNBC's The Dennis Miller Show. I was seriously outclassed and out- l33ted by my fellow guests Mickey Kaus (of Slate/Kausfiles) and comic genius Harry Shearer (of The Simpsons and KCRW's "Le Show"). We taped the program earlier today, and talked about blogger's rights and the Apple v. Does case; Al Gore's new TV network; and presidential iPods, among other things.

Image: mysterious graffiti inside the closet in my dressing room today. I think I'm lucky to have escaped alive -- the cryptic scrawl looks like a sekrit cry for help for guests who may have been held there against their will. Where are these former talk show hostages now? Did the Nutter Butters and Fig Newtons in this basket do them in? Maybe things just got too hot. On the opposite wall of this Closet of Doom, the words FRENCH TWINS 04. A gang of disenfranchised AFTRA members? A pair of Parisian porn princesses? A command from the other side? Don't know, but it terrifies me.

The Berkeley Pit Mascot

"The Auditor", an amazing dog, lived a long life in one of the harshest environments, the Berkeley Pit in Butte, Montana. The mine site has no vegetation, the water in the pit is full of heavy metals and very acidic (pH 2.5) and yet the Auditor held on long after mining operations halted. He has inspired a web site and even an art project.

Discovering Berkeley DB

Discovering Berkeley DB 11/25/2003 10:23 PM

I'm working on a project at the moment which involves exporting a whole bunch of data out of an existing system. The system is written in Perl and uses Berkeley DB files for most of its storage.

I'd never done anything with Berkeley DB before, but luckily Python has a module which seems to do all of the hard work for me:

>>> db = bsddb.btopen('xpand.db')
>>> db.keys()[0:10]
[':archives:index.html', ':art:test.html', ... 
>>> db[':art:test.html']
'template;front.tp\x01\x01'
>>> 

The Berkeley DB libraries are maintained by Sleepycat Software. Unfortunately, their site is completely saturated with marketing jargon. Our customers rely on Berkeley DB for fast, scalable, reliable and cost-effective data management for their mission-critical applications. Great - now what does it do exactly?

Some digging around turned up the real information: the Berkeley DB Tutorial and Reference Guide, which contains pretty much everything you could possible want to know about the technology. It turns out that at a basic level Berkeley DB is just a very high performance, reliable way of persisting dictionary style data structures - anything where a piece of data can be stored and looked up using a unique key. The key and the value can each be up to 4 gigabytes in length and can consist of anything that can be crammed in to a string of bytes, so what you do with it is completely up to you. The only operations available are "store this value under this key", "check if this key exists" and "retrieve the value for this key" so conceptually it's pretty simple - the complicated stuff all happens under the hood.

It seems like a great alternative to a full on relational database for simple applications, although I'm slightly confused by the license which allows free use for open source products but requires a license for commercial applications. Does that mean that if I use the bsddb Python module in a commercial app I need to get a license from Sleepycat?

The felon seems to have overlooked that building on the corner and all those blue-clad badge-wearing folks who pass through its portals en route to their black-and-white cars.

Go back four years to Wen Ho Lee. Same kind of editor's note appears in the New York Times. It seemed inexplicable. No correction, no apology. Then, as now, the editors had seen a case collapse. Then, as now, critics had long called for an accounting. Howell Raines was editorial page editor. Bill Keller, managing editor. Clinton was President. And transparency did not exist.
