D-Bracket

D-Bracket 12/17/2004 06:43 PM

I spent last night trying to get a new motherboard to work. If you've ever done this, you're probably familiar with the situation where you get everything put together, all the wires connected, you fire up the board, and nothing happens. It's pretty frustrating, since the motherboard knows what's wrong, but it can't tell you since getting the video card started is one of the last steps of the system's startup routine. Most boards have little beep codes that try to telegraph the problem (ie 3 long, 2 short equals bad RAM), but it's a pain to try to catch the beeps.

Fortunately, I was installing an MSI board that comes with something called a D-Bracket. This little doodad plugs to the motherboard and installs in an empty PCI bracket on the back of the case. It has 4 LED's that flash different codes across as the system goes through different stages of the POST routine. Bingo! Now I can easily tell exactly what's causing the problem. Very impressive.

This is the first MSI board I've worked with. The manual sucked, but the rest of the package has lots of nice little extra touches like that.

Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker
0.2.0 (Default branch)

Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker
0.2.0 (Default branch) 03/14/2005 06:20 PM
Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker contains everything you need to run a tournament pool. It supports small groups or organizations who wish to provide an NCAA basketball tournament pool without a lot of administrative work in calculating up-to-date results and possibilities. Though it was built with the NCAA tournament in mind, it should be able to handle most other sport tournament pools. Once a tournament is underway, users can keep track of their progress as the administrator for a tournament updates the results of games. Pool adminstrators can choose from many different scoring systems.

---

Changes:
This release added information on setting up the men's and women's NCAA 2005 Tournaments. You can no longer edit brackets that have been assigned to a pool for a tournament that is underway, and you can now add a bracket to a pool directly from the edit page if the bracket is completed. The view bracket page now computes a score using the default score system and color codes brackets against actual results.

PDF Competition Overview

PDF Competition Overview 08/19/2004 10:16 AM

Beyond PDF: Digital Delivery Develops: Interesting article on the future of the PDF and competing platforms that have developed to knock PDF of its perch.

Yet it has its share of critics who complain that it's not the most effective digital distribution method. Among its most famous broadsides was Jakob Nielsen's June, 2001 Alert Box column in which he concluded that the PDF was great for printing out documents, but lousy for online reading. Others complain about Acrobat Reader's load time, especially on Web sites. In spite of these criticisms, the PDF has solidified its place as the leader in electronic document distribution.

Competition can be good

Competition can be good 06/03/2004 07:11 AM

I've said many times, competitors can be your best teachers. They're perfect mirrors, look at a competitor and you can get an idea of what people see when they look at you. A good competitor knows you as well as anyone else, and vice versa.

I point to the competition when they're playing reasonably fair. It's not always good for business, but I assume our readers are smart, and that they'll make the right decision given all the facts. And by assuming readers are smart, we attract smart readers.

Want to see cute robots beat the ever-living snot out of each other? Want to see if being autographed by Steven Tyler makes a robot a more effective killing machine? Have a passion for robots with snorkel afros?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might want to check out this pics from this year's Robo-One tournament, where crafty Japanese tinkerers get together each year to let their robots tear each other to bits. Only our pan-Pacific neighbors would name a mechanoid death machine "Buster-Lilac," and that's why we love them.

Top VCs Trying To Discourage The
Competition 01/27/2004 02:53 PM
It seems that some of the bigger name venture capitalists out there are suddenly saying that there's too much venture money flowing into the market again and that means that it's much more difficult for the horses they've backed to compete. Apparently, they would prefer it if venture financing remained an exclusive little club where the old boys could pick two or three players and let them fight it out in the dog pit, and then pick up their winnings at the IPO window. Of course, I'm not sure why these guys should care so much. Assuming they know how to make a good investment, then who cares if the other VC firms are throwing their money away? They always talk about how much their guidance and experience helps the companies they invest in - so what do they care if lesser VCs are backing other companies that compete with their companies?

Remix Reading is holding a remix competition. Here's an excerpt from their site:

After an extremely successful launch event, Remix Reading is pushing the boundaries of the local cultural community with a remix competition. Over the next month, we want to see who can create the best remix of a piece of work already on the website.

There will be four winners, one in each category (audio, image, text, video). They will each receive the following great prizes:

* Your work on a LOCA Records compilation CD (if LOCA like it enough)
* A Creative Commons t-shirt
* A DVD full of great Creative Commons videos
* A copy me / remix me compilation CD
* A copy of the Wired CD and that issue of the Wired magazine
* A CD from LOCA Records
* Stickers, badges and fake tattoos

The closing date is Monday 11th April and the winners will be announced on Friday 15th April. The competition is being judged by a panel from Remix Reading, Creative Commons and LOCA Records.

OS X Virus Competition Scrapped

OS X Virus Competition Scrapped 03/29/2005 09:00 AM
Legal fears have led to the organisers of a competition to create the first in-the-wild virus to infect Mac OS to halt the event. DVForge, which builds Apple accessories, was offering a $25,000 prize to the first person to create such a virus - so far, none have bene detected in the wild.

The firm put up the cash - which would have gone to the first person to infect two G5 PowerMac computers running Mac OS X 10.3 connected to the internet without firewalls or antivirus protection - in response to a warning from Symantec that the Apple OS would come under increasing attack from viruses. Jack Campbell, chief executive at DVForge, said: "I have taken the difficult decision to cancel our contest. I have been convinced that there may be legal issues stemming from such a contest, beyond those determined by our own legal counsel prior to announcing the contest."

Symantec's warning came in its seventh Internet Security Threat Report, released last week. The firm - which produces a Mac version of its popular Norton Antivirus software - was faced with accusations that it had a vested interest in stirring up fear of viruses among the Mac community following the report's release.

Telecom Competition Shrinking

Telecom Competition Shrinking 12/19/2004 03:18 PM
The Federal Communications Commission claims it's going to really, really look hard at the Sprint-Nextel merger. Oh, sure. This is the same FCC that's rubber-stamping the regional phone monopolies' competition-stifling moves in local phone service, the same FCC that's letting cable and phone broadband providers keep out alternative ISPs. There's all kinds of interesting action at the edges these days, in the wireless-data space for the most part. But the incumbent powers are doing everything that such companies do when they see a threat. They're merging up a storm and working to keep competition out of traditional markets. And the government that's supposed to encourage competition is doing everything but officially bless the competition-shrinking trends. Not good.
