Hospital Provides Patients, Visitors
with Wi-Fi
06/08/2004 06:38 PMMountain View, Calif., hospital offers free Wi-Fi: For now, service is
free for everyone, but visitors will probably be charged $3 per day
starting in September. The service will expand to include bedside
computers between 2007 and 2009 when a new hospital opens. For now,
customers must bring their own computers or handhelds. A filter will
prevent access to what the hospital considers is inappropriate
content. As more diseases become managed instead of fatal, more people
than ever before will feel fine and be productive members of society,
but forced to spend large amounts of time in outpatient care. I've
spent many hours on two occasions in the last year in an outpatient
surgery waiting room, and while the surgery itself wasn't
life-threatening, there's nothing worse than idle hands when you have
no information....

Visitors processes a Web log file, trying very hard to identify
a single "person" as much as possible. This is typically
achieved by the use of either an identifying cookie in the log
file,
or via the IP address, name, and browser ID combination.
Changes:
There are various minor changes and bugfixes in this
release. The cookie cleanup is now working. Additionally,
long log file lines were only being read from stdin. Some
code cleanups, function documentation and better autoconf
configuration has also been included. The default results
ouput has had a very minor change.

disabled guests to Disney's various amusement parks have been trying
to bring their Segways along for easier transport through the park,
but are being told that
Disney is a no-Segway zone for visitors at the park. Disney's
response is they only allow FDA approved medical devices - and the
Segway isn't on the list.

information or
a single form that is frequently resubmitted by visitors. You don't
have the time to implement
user registration and don't want to spend hours or days learning
somebody else's code.
You are not sure if people will sign-up at all. What you need is to
"remember" non-registered visitors.

Unique IDs
05/28/2004 02:01 PMAs an aggregator developer, my main mission in life often seems to be
to get people to use unique IDs in their feeds. RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and
Atom all have the concept of unique IDs—it’s just that not
everybody uses them.
Unique IDs make life better for users. Here’s why:
Consider what happens when your feedreader reads a feed. It has to
compare the new version of the feed with what it has already read. It
has to determine, for each item in the new version, if it’s new,
old, or updated.
If you have unique IDs, you can tell that an item is an updated
version of a previous item. The title, description, link, permalink,
and so on may all have changed—but you know it’s the same
item, and you can do whatever you do with updated items.
Otherwise the feedreader has to guess. I imagine every feedreader does
it differently. As an example, a feedreader might say—well, the
title is the same, the body is different, but the link is the same, so
it’s probably an updated item. The thing is, that’s not
necessarily true, it’s just a
guess. Which means the
feedreader might do the wrong thing with it. And when the feedreader
does the wrong thing, users don’t get the functionality
they’re expecting.
If you have unique IDs, then the feedreader can be sure it’s
doing the right thing, and everything works the way users expect.
Dave Winer has often evangelized guids in RSS 2.0. And it pleases me
that Mark Pilgrim wrote
How
to make a good ID in Atom. (Unique IDs are mandatory in Atom.
Good!)
Feedreader compatibility
Consider also the problem of exchanging data between feedreaders. Say
you want to synch between your desktop reader and an on-line service,
or between two desktop readers. How do they tell each other what items
have been read?
One way would be to include the entire contents of each read item, and
say, “These have all been read.” But that could be a
ton of data, and you still have the problem of guessing.
It would be so much better to just pass a list of unique IDs of read
items. Imagine the bandwidth savings. And feedreaders wouldn’t
have to make guesses.
So unique IDs aren’t just about detecting read vs. unread items,
they’re also a key to compatibility among feedreaders, which
benefits users.

Helping Your Visitors: a State of Mind
03/06/2004 01:52 AMEven the simplest website is harder to figure out than a catalog or
magazine. We all know how to "use" a catalog: start at the front cover
and keep turning the pages. But with every new site we visit, we have
to "learn" how it works, how its "pages" turn, how to find what we're
looking for. Text that takes visitors' needs into account can help
guide them through the maze.
