java.util.concurrent for Java 1.4
java.util.concurrent for Java 1.4
12/19/2004 03:06 PM
One of the shiniest new feature of Java 5.0 (aka Java 1.5) is a
rich set of concurrent
programming classes in java.util.concurrent (aka JSR 166),
much of which is a
direct port of Doug Lea's Concurrent
Programming in Java library. Since I don't have the
luxury of using Java
5.0 yet, I've resorted to using Doug's original library which is,
for the most part,
functionally equivalent to java.util.concurrent but not close
enough for comfort,
particularly since concurrency code tend to be very sensitive to
minor changes.
The good news is that Dawid Kurzyniec
backported
java.util.concurrent package to run under Java 1.4 and made it
available as open
source. Apparently Sun is letting this happen because it's
own code is based
on Doug's open source library.
There are some shortcomings but nothing much to cry over. My
only complaint
is that it doesn't use the java.util.concurrent package name which
means I'll have
to update the package names later (simple but still change
nonetheless). But
that I can see the technical and legal issues preventing that from
happening.
I am just glad someone did this.

2D Graphics Libraries
2D Graphics Libraries
05/05/2004 07:45 PM
While platforms these days have fairly good 2D graphics support
like Quartz on OSX,
GDI+ on XP, and , and Gnome Canvas, developers like me often have
to use third-party
libraries for whatever reasons. On Win32, for example, GDI+
support is missing
in legacy platforms which means either giving up on fancy
graphics, redistributing
GDI+ binaries, use a third party library, or writing one
yourself. Writing one
yourself is fun (I have done it a couple of times over 20 years)
but, unless it offers
some unique features, you'll always end up migrating to a third
party library.
BTW, Flash has an excellent 2D graphics engine but it's lacks an
API so it's like
a sports car without a driving wheel. Yes, you can embed the
Flash ActiveX and
generate SWF on-the-fly but it's unwieldy for dynamic interaction
and even handling
gets tricky. Embedding Adobe SVG ActiveX is just as unwieldy
if not more.
While there are proprietary 2D engines out there, typically written
by a few guys
at a small company, they tend to disappear within a couple of
years, either bought
by companies (i.e. Apple, Adobe, Macromind, and Microsoft), or
abandoned out
of lack of interest or workable revenue model. Besides, they
charge fairly steep
fees so I tend to avoid them.
Out of all the freely available 2D libraries out there, Libart stands
out in features and quality. It offers fast
anti-aliased rendering
and it's use in Gnome Canvas over the years means most of the bugs
have already been
stepped on. Libart is also used to drive librsvg,
a SVG engine, and Java 2D, Java's graphics API, although Sun made
extensive changes
to tap hardware acceleration. While Libart can and has been
used cross-platform,
it's not exactly cakewalk to use in non-Linix platofrms. Cairo has
some interesting features and rising interest could mean it will
replace Libart someday,
but it's still in development.
Third-party 2D graphics library I really like these days is Anti-Grain
Geometry (AGG) which, although dormant for the last two years,
has been rejuvenated
with the released of version 2.1. AGG is written in C++ and
uses templates extensively
like ATL does. AGG is lightweight, very fast, flexible, and
full of features.
It even comes with a partial implementation of SVG
viewer as an example. AGG supports Win32, X11, and SDL as
is. It doesn't
yet support features variable stroke effects like Creature House's
Expression
3 engine and Fractal Design's Painter support but then
it's just me being
unreasonable. :-)
I should note that subpixel graphics was first done 20 years
ago in Word
Handler to display 70 columns of hi-res text on Apple
II.Silicon
Valley Systems, the company that published Word Handler, was
based just 5 minutes
from where I live now and I enjoy fond memories of working there
every time I pass
by the old office on El Camino. I guess everybody remembers
their first job.
LCD screens were just starting to replace LED on calculators at the
time, so Steve
Gibson and Microsoft ClearType can claim to be the first to use
subpixel graphics
on LCD screen. Lenny Elekman, where are you now?

New IM Record in Libraries
New IM Record in Libraries
03/14/2005 06:23 PMI've been so short on time lately that I've been trying to avoid
using what little blogging time I do have to simply repost what other
library bloggers are already putting up. This one, however, was just
too good to pass up.
when was the
last time you had this kind of response to a new library
service?
"Brian didn’t give me permission to publish a portion of
his email, but I’m so excited about it I’m going to throw caution
into the wind. He wrote [emphasis mine]:
'Rule number 1: Don’t send out IM reference fliers to
every middle school and jr. high classroom on the same day!
Had to have been at least 100 IMs in the first 2 hours after the
kiddies got home. For a while, I had about 20 IM windows up at once.'
"
Someone recently observed that there are a lot of Eeyo
res in the library community, but I think we can officially
declare IM reference a Martha-Stewart-good-thing for (at least) public
libraries and move it to Pooh status.
Cost of purchasing the AIM software: $0.
Cost of staff time to "man" the AIM service during those two hours:
already paid for.
Satisfaction of having 100 kids respond positively and view the
library in a new light: PRICELESS.

England Libraries May All Get Wi-Fi
England Libraries May All Get Wi-Fi
12/04/2003 01:07 PMThe majority of libraries in England already have broadband access but
now the government is working on adding Wi-Fi: Most of the libraries
in King County, outside of Seattle, have Wi-Fi. It's a great, low-cost
way for libraries to offer Internet access without having to provide
computers for everyone. My library always has a line of people waiting
to get on its computers so perhaps with Wi-Fi some people could come
in with their own computers to use the Internet. But I wonder how many
of the people I see waiting in line there actually have laptops that
they could bring with them instead....

How NOT to Market WiFi in Libraries
How NOT to Market WiFi in Libraries
12/12/2003 10:21 AMMarketing
Wireless in Libraries
"Someone on Web4Lib asked about posting symbols or signage to
identify wireless access in libraries. This is a slightly revised
version of my reply on the list, sent after several folks referred the
original poster to the wireless warchalking
symbols popular among the digerati.
Essentially, this is basic library marketing 101. If you're
planning to market wireless services not only to the folks who will
seek it, but to folks who would either find a way to use it if they
knew what it was or may never even use it but will mentally file this
service under 'what a great library this is,' then integrate the fancy
symbols with very plainspoken, large, plain-lettered wording. Go to a
site that offers wireless for its customers and see how they peddle
it. (Remember, that's what you're doing: selling a service.)
Make the language achingly clear. 'Wireless hotspot' comes to
mind... but maybe something else makes more sense locally. Assuming
you have a bookmark or brochure advertising this service, repeat the
logo and the phrase throughout the materials. I know that libraries
offer things for free anyway, but why not push that as well?
Wireless--FREE!...
Or you could practice another kind of library marketing, and either
put up one tiny, very obscure sign, or make it very large and then
title it 'Bibligraphic WEP-enabled 802.11* Access.' And in your
assessment of the service, observe that very few people use it. ;)

I just had to blog Karen's response because it's so true it's
tragically funny.
