Yes, But When Can I Switch Off From
Work? 04/14/2004 10:37 PM
Welcome to the modern "always on, always connected" work world. It's gotten to the point where Microsoft discovered, after handing out smart phones, tablet PCs and broadband connections to employees that they needed to give their employees special instructions on how to turn off work. This isn't a new problem, and it's certainly been discussed before. While some people can handle the work/life balance without a problem - it's not so easy for everyone else. Even for those who can switch off, it's made more difficult by their colleagues who can't - and who contact them at odd hours with work requests. This is going to become a bigger issue for modern companies to deal with. There are, obviously, some advantages, but people need to learn their limits.

One Less Reason Not To Switch

One Less Reason Not To Switch 05/11/2004 01:45 PM

Novell has announced in a p ress release that they will release the Exchange Connector for Ximian Evolution, previously a $75/seat plugin, as open source.

Novell today announced its Connector for Microsoft* Exchange Server will be integrated into EvolutionTM 2.0 and made available as open source, beginning today with the current Connector 1.4. Evolution is Novell's award-winning e-mail and workgroup client for Linux* systems and is the most widely used collaboration suite on Linux. Evolution Connector allows Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003 users to easily manage their e-mail, calendars, group schedules, address books, public folders and tasks from Linux desktops.

I was thrilled to hear this. Evolution (particularly the current betas) is the equal of MS Outlook in features, but without many of the problems. The only downside was that you had to pony up the cash to natively connect with an Exchange server. My guess is that Novell feels that having this out there will speed the adoption of Linux, and that will provide them more revenue than they had been making by selling the plugin. A positive side effect of Ximian being purchased by Novell.

It appears that Novell has recognized their increasing irrelevance in their old niche, LAN products, and is jumping in to open source with both feet. Could this approach put them back into dominant position?

The Manglefreuzer Switch

The Manglefreuzer Switch 08/11/2004 11:40 AM

For everyone who has ever struggled with interm ittent problems, the truth has finally l eaked out.

...there's always the chance the mangelfreuzer switch will trip - which would be a problem."

"What's a manglef.. r."

"Manglefreuzer - as in Mangle-Froy-TSir. It's a switch or other device that hardware manufacturers put into their equipment to detect unuathorised access to a box - and makes the system act strangely."

"Strangely?"

"Yes, you know, the odd memory error, harddisk write error, machine crashes, etc. To encourage you not to tamper with the box. And generate revenue for the maintenance provider of course."

"Are you serious?!"

"Of course. Some of our major outages have been those exact same problems."

"You mean they're all caused by a manglefreuzer?"

"Some of them, yes. Obviously no sane vendor would build in something which could be conclusively linked as the source of a problem, so they make the outages sporadic and hard to track down..."

"And people know about this?"

"Technical people, yes."

"And you're ok with that?"

"We don't really have that much choice in the matter, do we? Anyway all the vendors do it - and not just in computers."

And all this time I've been blaming the problems on interference from low-flying cloaked alien spacecraft. Those PC-building dirtballs!

Flip-switch day

Flip-switch day 11/16/2003 08:29 PM

Lots of changes today, but ones with (Murphy-willing) very small impact on the user interface. In fact, unless they don't work, you shouldn't see any difference at all. Since this is Scripting News, and not Knitting News, we'll go ahead and say which switches got flipped.

First, www.scripting.com now resides on the east coast instead of the west. The new Monster servers, the 3GHz meat-eaters that climb skyscrapers, are now both managing the content and doing the serving for everything on scripting.com.

The picture of King Kong to the right will appear when the new server is visible through DNS to your browser. If you see a broken image and want to see what the picture looks like just click on it.

Second, a big change in the way the outliner works. We used to have to tell it how to format a day of weblog posts using Rules, a great feature if you want a lot of control over how things look, but a pain in the butt if every day looks exactly like every other day, as is always true in my weblog.

Third, this is going to be a product, not one that I plan to sell (although I may give it to UserLand and they might sell it). It's a new kind of outliner-based Web CMS, that does weblogs and all the other stuff you see popping up here on Scripting. I spent much of the day exploring ideas for how to package, test and then ship this. Should it be a Manila plug-in? Or something that's linked to Manila on a sort of peer basis? Or should it be completely independent of Manila? I want to deliberate on this decision, because I expect to live with it for a long time.

Wi-Fi and Cancer 12/12/2003 03:12 PM
This balanced and thoughtful article takes a look at the Illinois lawsuit urging a public school district to shut down its WLANs: The article points out that it's tough to decide right now if Wi-Fi might cause adverse health affects given that research has been done with opposing results and because people haven't been exposed to cellular or Wi-Fi radiation long enough to make a definitive conclusion. I happen to be working on a story about the Illinois lawsuit and just heard from the lawyer representing the parents who have filed suit against the school district and he said that the parties are in settlement discussions. He couldn't offer any details, of course. I'd like to speculate on what agreement the parties might make but it's hard to imagine. The school might bend and remove the network in an effort to avoid a costly lawsuit. Otherwise, I can't imagine a way that the school could offer the network and offer a way for students to avoid it while receiving the same education as their peers. We shall see....

iMac G5: “Worth Switch from

“If a new desktop computer is the object of your holiday hopes this season, look no further than the new G5 iMac from Apple,” writes Mike Wendland for Billings Gazette. “I said it when I first tested it and I’ll say it again after two months of use: This is the finest personal computer I’ve ever used, hands down. Nothing comes close. If you have ever thought of switching from a Windows-based PC to a Mac, this is the deal-clincher. It is a stunning machine to look at and to use.” [Dec 21]

Wow. Ouch. So there we go. I've redesigned the site and I'm struggling to get it all up and working properly as soon as I possibly can, but there are scratchy bits and clunky bits and I swear to got that I'm getting to those bits in a minute. This redesign has been a long time coming - and like so many of my personal bits of work, was actually accomplished only because I suddenly developed enough momentum on a Sunday afternoon to get it to a nearly thought-through stage before something else got in the way. So it has all of the features of things that come together in that way - I think it's pretty inspired (for something I'd do), while simultaneously it's full of rough bits that haven't been polished out of existence yet.

I've been trying to think around my aesthetic and my reasons for going in this direction, but to be honest it's a whole mix of things coming together at one point in time. There's a bit of my general frustration with people doing things that seem to me to be working in opposition to the media, there's a dash of my desire to keep refining an artificial/manufactured aesthetic for plasticbag.org and there's a large stinking block of trying to strip away all the guff that has accumulated around my site over the last few years.

Weirdly, I think I'm also secretly hoping that by going so stark that people find the site intimidating and unfriendly. I've written before about how hard I find it to write when everyone's watching. That feeling got a little worse than normal after the whole wonderful Bloggies win. Maybe subconsciously this is an attempt to try and keep a very particular crowd around here while alienating everyone else. Maybe it's not so subconscious. Dunno. I guess we'll see how people respond to it over the next few days / weeks / years.

Anyway, in the meantime, I'll endeavour to get as much as possible (if not everything) fixed that appears currently to be broken in the next couple of hours, and maybe tomorrow I'll try and give you guys a tour through some of my thinking. First redesign in a very very long time... Quite exciting...
