10/29/2003 12:12 AMMitch picks up and on Steve Ballmer's claim that Open Source software
is necessarily shoddier than software written in closed shops. Writes
Mitch: What Steve Ballmer doesn't realize is that his own company
takes virtually the same approach, hiring some young coder from
Kentucky or Bangalore to write a bit of code that gets appended to
Word or Windows, but without the feedback of coders and users that are
incorporated into the collective decision-making that produces open
source software. There's another proof that unmanaged, market-driven
projects of some complexity can produce robust, innovative software:
the Internet and Web themselves. What...

Koko the Gorilla uses sign language to
request dental work
08/09/2004 03:18 PM
Scott sez: "About a month ago,
Koko, the 300-plus-pound ape who became famous for mastering more than
1,000 signs, began telling her handlers at the Gorilla Foundation in
Woodside she was in pain. They quickly constructed a pain chart,
offering Koko a scale from one to 10. When Koko started pointing to
nine or 10, a dental appointment was made. And because anesthesia
would be involved, her handlers used the opportunity to give Koko a
head-to-toe exam."

Email: to sign or not to sign?
01/22/2004 02:10 AMIf you participate in non-techno-geek mailing lists, and you also make
a habit of "signing" your mail in compliance with the open standards
articulated by RFC2015/3156, you've undoubtedly run into questions
about what you're doing and possibly even criticism for doing it. At
least that's been my experience over the past couple of years on
mailing lists as low-tech as one dedicated to raising donkeys and
mules and as high-tech as tech journalism. Well, on second thought,
maybe those are both low-tech. But in any case, I've been asked to
stop signing messages on both lists. The question is what to do:
continue swimming upstream or give in and go with the flow?

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PMOne of the downsides to the fact that people
can
work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to
stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly
stressed out workers are
asking their bosses to
cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over
their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried
that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could
be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant
to do so.

A customized Spring book
object
|
Books are one of the object types you can place on a Spring canvas,
associate actions with, and trade (mainly, for now, by way of AIM)
with
other Spring users. When I first began writing about my
LibraryLookup project a few months ago, Spring's creator Robb Beal
wrote to me suggesting that he add LibraryLookup to the list of
context
menu actions associated with a Spring book object. When I noticed that
Spring 1.2 didn't yet include that action, I decided to see for myself
how
this integration could be achieved. It was remarkably easy. There's
almost
no documentation for Spring, but none was needed. Nor, as it turned
out,
were any OS X or AppleScript skills required. Although it runs only on
OS
X today, Spring objects are wired together using the basic principles
that
I know and love: URL-based services, XML data, pipelined
transformations.

Where's Spring?
03/11/2003 01:23 AMHere I am on "Spring" Break and its thirty-five degrees outside.
And raining.
Here at the college if you want to live on campus over spring break
you have to move into one particular apartment-style dorm for the two
weeks. I don't mind this too much, it's only a short walk from my
usual residence. However, during the rest of the year I think this
apartment is inhabited by neanderthals. The perfect balance of filth
and beer paraphernalia makes this place the epitome of a college
apartment. I won't be here too much anyway, only on the weekends.
I'll be working full time down the road.
Since there is a complete lack of things to do on a closed campus,
I've been playing with the RSS Parser.
Either tonight or tomorrow I will release a new version of the parser,
under a new name. This latest version is a big improvement in code
(using OOP) and
usability. More on the parser later.
