Remember that wonderful new $400 million FBI computer system that couldn 't fight terrorists, but could track down fictional video game characters? Well, it appears that American spooks aren't alone in their ability to completely waste money on useless computer systems. MI5 in the UK is now admitting that their brand new computer system will cost much more and do much less than originally promised. Of course, to their credit, at least the damn thing works, unlike the US system, which has been scrapped entirely.

The Battle of the 64-Bit Computer Chips 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
The battle of 64-bit computer chips between chipmakers Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will be remarkably similar to the 32-bit chip wars of the past between the two, with Intel as the putative Goliath and AMD as David, gambling on knocking off the giant with a small but potentially lethal 64-bit slingshot.

Giant Easter Egg

Giant Easter Egg 04/09/2004 04:08 PM
This giant Ukrainian Easter Egg (pysanka) was built in 1975 in Vegreville, Canada by (then) Univ. Utah Computer Science Professor Ronald Resch. Interesting egg factoids can be found here--including that it swivels like a weather vane. Vegreville has an annual festival. More images of egg here. The Vegreville Pysanka was the first physical structure completely designed with computer-aided geometric modeling software. There is a good description here of the complex geometry involved. It's based on a technique (PDF) he developed and patented for folding a flat material (i.e. sheet metal) into flexible surfaces. Ronald Resch has had an interesting career.

The sleeping giant

The sleeping giant 02/05/2005 09:50 PM

Man, I didn't know that my little late night blurb written mostly to myself would spark such a reaction. I guess I woke a sleeping giant or something. Dave is annoyed, Tom blames it on tools, and Andre wants more flexibility.

The funniest thing is I kind of called for this to grow last summer, and I never really thought about how it affects end users. I uploaded a gallery of 20 photos or so to flickr a while back and a couple people said the feed was overrun with the shots, so much so that they wanted a way to remove them somehow.

For the last few years, I've had a site filled with stuff that I recently wiped in the hopes of starting over. Ideally, I'd like to get something close to Leonard's site, where all my feeds for separate services can live on one page, but there can still be a place to write longer text pieces like this one that dominate the space. I always envisioned One Feed To Rule Them All containing the parts from every sub-section, but after reading stuff like Dave wrote, maybe I'll default to the text blog feed, with other feeds sepate and one megafeed that you could subscribe to, but that tools wouldn't default to picking up.

Voice Over Wi-Fi Can Cut Costs

Voice Over Wi-Fi Can Cut Costs 12/09/2003 03:52 PM
Telesym's CEO argues that enterprises that employ voice over Wi-Fi can save by cutting back on cellular calls made on campus: His numbers look great in this story, however, he's missing some major expenses. Most observers agree that the voice over Wi-Fi system is going to require a lot of support by IT folks. Also, the network has to cover just about everywhere. Since current Wi-Fi networks don't, an enterprise would have to invest in building out the network. And finally, right now the technology isn't there yet--there aren't yet good mechanisms for quality of service and fast handoffs....

The More You Pay, the More Access Costs

The More You Pay, the More Access Costs 05/18/2004 01:17 AM
Kathy Gill encounters highway robbery in her hotel room: $14.95 per day, per machine: My colleague Kathy Gill is at the WWW2004 conference in New York, and has been astounded by the Sheraton's data charges: $14.95 per day for wireless access in the hotel, and another $14.95 per day per person for in-room access. She's peeved. It's this irritation that could ultimately transform hotel Wi-Fi. If Kathy had $20 to $80 per month unlimited cell data access (anywhere from 10-50 Kbps up to a few hundred K download speed), even with the slower upload speeds of cellular networks, she might have foregone the $14.95 per day fee. In which case, how does the hotel recoup that money? They can't. Take the alternative experience, in which my wife and I spent three nights on the Oregon Coast this last week. I wasn't working, and just wanted to briefly check my email on the road. The first night, we stayed at an older motel in the process of becoming a resort. For $9.95, I could have had wireless service, but I didn't need to spend that much. My ISP lacked an 800# and local numbers on the coast. I wound up using my GSM (9600 bps -- yes, bits per second) cell phone service which on Cingular's network comes out of my minutes pool. Next night, again with no concern about access, we chose a hotel that was about 30 percent cheaper and claimed wireless Internet access for free. Ah, but not in the cheaper part of the hotel. I didn't need access badly enough to roam to the part of the hotel in which I could get service, so I turned again to the cell phone. The third night, we stayed at a Best Western in a small town. The room was nice, the rate was 30 percent less than the second night's, and the deal included free in-room wired broadband and free breakfast. Guess which hotel I'll choose first next time? All Best Westerns will soon have free in-room broadband--as will most budget hotel chains around the U.S. Hotels that charge for service might find their high-end customers turning to cell data as that becomes more available and less expensive--or losing customers to the cheaper chains. (Our first and last nights of our trip were spent at my brother-in-laws and my parents'--both of which offered free Wi-Fi throughout the property.)...
