2003 Service Pack 1 04/20/2004 11:26 PM
In an academic setting, a score of 90 percent earns an automatic "A". By that measure, the team shaping Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 merits a similar high passing grade. When the innovative application debuted last October, it reflected the pioneering edge of the digital note-taking category. Today, Microsoft honed that edge by announcing the preview release of Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 (OneNote SP1). Ninety percent of the features included in the software update are a direct result of customer input and feedback -- with the remaining 10 percent coming from indirect customer feedback.

CMS Wish List

CMS Wish List 06/19/2004 01:28 PM

Daniel asked me to put together a list of Content Management System (CMS) wishes that I would have for any system. I recently read that CMS will be a $7 billion industry next year. WOW. I guess that makes sense since so much information is created these days.

So here they are:

1. Multiuser - allow multiple editors to submit content
2. Simple - People don't understand web publishing, HTML or file structures. Most tools don't hide this very well. People do associate buttons and links on a page with other pages. Somehow, creating a link or a button on a page should create the target for it automatically
3. No framework or server required - There are many open source CMSs out there, but most rely on an underlying framework to run. I want to download an installer, install it and go. Not download PHP, secure it properly, then try and get the CMS working. Radio is a great example of this.
4. File Upload - The browser based upload functionality is garbage. No status, breaks often and you can't cancel an upload. Also, once the file is uploaded, a user needs to know how to create a link to it. I'd prefer a UI which has a file library that I can drag and drop a link from the library to the document I'm in and the link is created.
5. Full text search - I neeed to find the content I enter. I have google configured to allow users to search my site. Something this simple is great, however, I had to create a button and search form to make it work. Joe & Jane user can't do this.

 

More later I have to go do some chores :)

 

You can always do a list

You can always do a list 12/02/2003 12:39 AM

1. Here’s Refer 2.1
2. Q. How do you spot an extroverted Norwegian?
   A. He’s staring at your shoes.
3. As of right now, I owe email to 7,512 people.
4. We got pipes.

As of 6:40pm last Thursday, after two years trying a hundred combinations of hardware and software, learning far more than I’d ever hoped about satellite VPNs and bridging Windows network devices, throwing good money after bad, we have a broadband internet connection out here in the sticks. It’s about a third the speed of DSL, and it caps out at six downloadable gigabytes per month, but it works.

For a number of reasons I didn’t buy a Dell after all, the foremost of which is, after writing on this site that I was getting a Dell, a number of helpful and detailed emails came in saying, essentially, you’ll regret it. Then there was another email touting Dell’s pricing strategy as evidence of the genius of the free market in the face of unions and Stalinism. Meh.

These likeable nebbishim down the road in Ganges were able to come close to Dell’s best offer for a basic setup. I’m far happier driving the box over there to see something fixed than being routed through a support call centre in Bangalore (nothing against the people of India, or the people of Norway for that matter). The guy who owns the place in Ganges actually lives here in Pompignan, not that I would ever consider abusing that proximity by phoning at dinner time to get a bum keyboard replaced like I did the other night.

So I am now, for the first time ever, a paid-up licensee of the leading-edge web-ready enterprise computing platform Microsoft Windows.

I always knew Windows was homely, in a worn-down industrial carpeting kind of way, but had no clue just how fucking ugly XP is. It’s like living inside a perpetual Powerpoint presentation, with sham friendliness pelting down everywhere. Someone really ought to repeatedly sky-write the word RESTRAINT over Redmond.

And for all the talk of XP’s networking smarts, there was nothing plug-and-play about bridging the satellite VPN to a local network. I could get the web to work, but HTTPS would fail; FTP worked, then mail would fail.

In the end I installed a proxy server, plugged in the Airport, and the whole house was wirelessly online in five minutes. As this could have been done with, say, a 486 running Windows 95, I may now be owner of the world’s most expensive PCI slot, one whose cooling fans sound forever like a 747 taxiing for takeoff.

But we got pipes.

Mark Frauenfelder: Management guru Tom Peters has written something called "60 Tom's TIB," (This I Believe) available for download as a PDF. On his Brianstorms Weblog, Brian Dear highlights this interesting excerpt about prioritizing from the Peters document:

I once watched a highly energetic chief ripped asunder by a senior member of his board. “Richard,” the determined board member almost shouted, “you are smart, energetic, creative to a fault, perhaps even a genius. But much of your 'genius' is dissipated because you apply it to ten different things at a time, albeit with great skill.

“Let me tell you what you need,” he concluded. “A 'to don't' list.”

I don't know about “Richard,” but for me that was a profound moment. Fact No. 1: We all have 50 genuine priorities. Fact No. 2: If we get even two Big Things Done in a six-year tenure on the current job, we will have had a...Great Ride. Axiom No. 1: Therefore, what we choose not to do (the sole subject of that “To Don't” list) is at least as important, or more important, as what we choose to do.

And, finally, effective “To Don't-ing” is far, far more difficult than effective “To Do-ing.”

A List Apart Again

A List Apart Again 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

A List Apart has unveiled the long awaited redesign, and is celebrating it's third manifestation with three brand new articles.

The redesign is currently being discussed on Webdesign-L, and the general consensus is that it's a bit of a disappointment. I agree; while a perfectly servicable and attractive design to me it gives off the air of a well designed weblog rather than a cutting edge web design and development magazine.

Of the three new articles, the best by far is Doug Bowman's Sliding Doors of CSS, which describes in great detail how multiple background images applied to nested elements can be used to create a set of elegant, size-expandable tabs. Multiple nested backgrounds are not a new idea, but I haven't seen Doug's technique of creating a narrow image for the left hand side which overlaps a much larger right hand image before. I'm sure we're going to see a lot of interesting variations on this in the next few months.

Joe Clark's Facts and Opinion About Fahrner Image Replacement confirms the now widely accepted fact that display: none; hides content from screen readers, rendering the Fahrner Image Replacement technique obsolete. According to the author, the article was completed some time ago and thus does not cover more recent innovations in the field of image replacement, such as the Leahy / Langridge hack.

The third article, Random Image Rotation, introduces a simple PHP script for randomly serving up an image from a directory. I've always found the server side development material on ALA relatively uninspiring, but I guess this is because the target audience of the site is more designers than developers.

It's worth mentioning that the site's information architecture has been completely redone, making it far easier to dig through the excellent material in the archives. All in all it's great to see the site back again, and I look forward to reading new material as it arrives.

Another name on the list

Another name on the list 06/30/2004 06:29 AM

Steve Kirks: "Kleenex has become interchangeable with tissue and now RSS has done the same with syndicated content. Now, we can move on to the next step: doing something great with the tools available."

I had a similar thought this morning as I checked the new posts on the Atom-Syntax list< /a>, and reading the Scripting News archive from one year ago, when the flamefest that launched Atom was still raging. I was reminded of the student strikes we'd do in the late 60s and early 70s. First have an organizing meeting with the steering committee, print up the leaflets, hand them out, march somewhere, sit-in the lobby of the school, maybe get on TV, whatever, and then what? They were great affairs while we were expressing our outrage, but in the end, we had to go back to school, get good grades, get accepted at good colleges, etc etc. We possibly helped end the war sooner, in some way (although the right-wingers said we did the opposite). It certainly was a lot more fun than sitting in a classroom, getting good grades, etc. We used to joke that we didn't do too many strikes in the winter, mostly they were in April and May when the weather was too good to be caught up inside a classroom.

Anyway, seeing the list of formats that Apple supports, RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, I sighed on behalf of Atom and poor not-respected-by-geeks RSS. Reminds me of what my doctor said when I showed up for an annual checkup five pounds heavier than the year before. I shrugged it off, not too bad I said. She said "But you're going in the wrong direction." Sure, people say that it doesn't matter how many formats there are, but it actually does matter, even for users, as I've said repeatedly, every new format is another brick in the wall of Barrier To Entry, and that means less choice, but it also might make it harder for efforts that build on RSS to get started. I'll give you an example.

Yesterday, I got a note about a great BitTorrent-with-RSS application. I saw the URL to the feed, and groaned. It's RDF. Now, all the BT+RSS apps have been built around RSS 2.0 because it has the enclosure element, and we'd never, as far as I know, anticipated that the RSS confusion would creep into this space. I looked at the file to see how they did it, and whoa, it's a 2.0 file, even though on the outside it says it's RDF. Once you combine RSS with other things, which definitely should be happening more, you add another dimension with the two other flavors. Instead of having to do something once, you have to do it three times. And that's more than three times the trouble, which makes it less than one-third as likely to happen. Imagine going to the BitTorrent people with that problem. "Call us back when you make your mind up," they might reasonably say.

Anyway, when it's all said and done, there will be another flavor of RSS, another name on the list, more work to do, not too bad. If my doctor were here she'd say "But you're going in the wrong direction."
