This will require some work, none of it hard. Prereqs are
Python 2.x and
pyxml. There
currently are three interfaces: a CGI/web interface, a command
line, and a web interface.
- The CGI/web interface contains a number of absolute paths and
direct references to the host. However, this is probably the
best place to start.
- The command line interface is designed primarily for
development use. However, something like this that returns
back a simple return code might be useful for your
optional
indicator.
- The web service interface accepts a simple HTTP POST,
optionally with SOAP envelope and body elements. This could
be evolved into something that does exactly the same as the above,
but without requiring any installation on the client. Of
course, this would require that the user be online at the time, and
would have quite different performance characteristics.
Overall, probably not the path to pursue in this case.
In any case, none of this work is difficult, and I would be glad
to do it.

Virtual Collaboration: If You Can't Work
Side-by-Side
Virtual Collaboration: If You Can't Work
Side-by-Side
03/19/2005 02:58 AM

The Idea: What do you do if you need or want to collaborate,
but
you can't do so in person? What purposes are best served by weblogs,
wikis, and other types of online collaboration tools, spaces and
media?
Collaboration entails finding
the right group of people (skills, personalities, knowledge,
work-styles, and chemistry), ensuring they share commitment to the
collaboration task at hand, and providing them with an environment,
tools, knowledge, training, process and facilitation to ensure they
work together effectively. This is challenging enough face-to-face in
real-time. It's doubly difficult virtually and asynchronously. But
there are examples of great music, literature, invention, scientific
discovery and problem-solving that have come from such handicapped
collaboration. How did they do it, and can you improve the likelihood
of brilliant virtual collaboration by using the right tools and
media?
Let's take a look at some of the alternatives:

There are three levels of collaboration based on duration of
contact:
- Conversations: Where you're in contact just once, or a
few times, discussing a particular subject or group of
subjects.
- Projects: Where you're in contact as often as
necessary to complete a project.
- Alliances: Where you're in
contact in multiple
conversations and on multiple projects, working together for an
indefinite period of time.
A collaborative conversation
may be provoked by an interesting or important idea or an urgent
one-off need for information or assistance. Much of the time spent in
business is consumed in consulting with others, in canvassing for
ideas
or suggestions or comments, and in making decisions on what something
means or how to respond to it. These are generally quick,
collaborative
conversations. In large organizations these conversations are usually
peer-to-peer (where trust is stronger than up or down the hierarchy),
and as size increases further they tend to be more and more
intermediated (one middle-manager recently told me that 70% of his
e-mail and 50% of his telephone calls are of the "Who should I talk to
about X?" variety). In smaller organizations, these conversations are
more likely to draw on external networks, and to involve the use of
today's clunky social networking tools like LinkedIn and eCademy. I
have argued before that the next generation of social networking tools
should include 'people-finders' that streamline and automate the
process of finding the right person (inside or outside the
organization) to talk to, so that more time can be spent on actual
conversations with those people.
Once you've found the right person to converse with, if they're close
and inexpensive to talk to in
person,
that's likely what you'll do. But what if they aren't? How do you
quickly provide your Conversation Collaborators with the context they
need to converse with you effectively when you can't put a chart or a
piece of paper in front of them and brief them? Organizations have
found that if the person you want to converse with face-to-face is
more
than two minutes walk (or
elevator ride) away, the probability of you making the effort to
converse with them in person drops precipitously.
If you have a blog, an audience, and a little time, your blog can
serve
this need well. Ask a question on a popular blog and you'll probably
get an informed answer quite quickly (thank you readers!) Most
businesses, alas, have few established blogs and even less time.
Preferred conversation tools in business, when face-to-face is
impossible, are now IM and the telephone -- with IM trumping the phone
for its self-documentation, its suitability to multi-tasking, and
because it's easier to browse than voice-mail, and the phone trumping
IM if a lot of iteration is needed to provide context. White-boarding
and document-sharing applications, awkward as they are, can be helpful
additions to IM and telephone conversations if the participants are
savvy enough to use them properly (most aren't) and if documents and
graphics are needed to provide more context. E-mail is the
increasingly
unpopular fall-back.
Discussion forums are the ultimate tool of last resort for
conversations, because of the disadvantages listed above. In most of
the companies I am familiar with, they are only sporadically used and
quickly grow stale.
A variety of tools have been developed for more enduring project collaborations and alliance
collaborations. Because they tend to involve more participants than
conversations do, the logistics get tougher and the effectiveness of
these tools gets more challenging. And the threshold point for giving
up on the viability of in-person collaboration rises dramatically. I
think this is an absolutely critical point. It is the reason large
corporations, with the internal resources (people and money) to
sequester, have the capacity to collaborate more effectively than
small
corporations and loose, unfunded collaborative groups (though whether
they use that capacity to advantage is another question entirely).
Open
Source project teams and alliances have pioneered low-budget, virtual,
asynchronous collaboration, and are the role model to follow. But is
the reason for this perhaps that Open Source collaborations are
generally undertaken by exceptionally tech-savvy groups, very agile at
using and even inventing their own collaborative tools to get the job
done? They usually have a good GUI for the non-techie, but wade into
the material and collaboration technology behind a lot of these groups
and your head will start spinning. What about the other 95% of the
population? If I want to set up a virtual collaboration team to design
a model intentional community (with people I might end up spending the
rest of the my life with) or to invent a post-capitalist economy (a
large project if there ever was one), what tools and media should I
use?
Wikis are one place to start -- a bit nerdy and physically inelegant
but functional and not that hard to learn once you take the plunge.
They are, however, asynchronous tools, which is a significant barrier
to true collaboration.
There are some more robust collaborative 'spaces' for communities of
interest and communities of practice to adopt, but some of the best
'groupware' (like Groove and Exchange and eRooms) costs money and
requires considerable learning to use its different tools effectively.
These tools generally also require a coordinator to invest a lot of
time to setting up and managing the 'space'.
There are a variety of document-sharing technologies in the market,
which allow several people to see a document at once and to 'take
control' each in turn to change that document.
Ideally, using a combination of
- Skype (free global VoIP telephony),
- White-boarding (everyone online can see what anyone
posts to the white-board),
- Document-sharing and
- Mindmapping or some similar session annotation tool
(everyone can see what the group's 'scribe' has documented as the
findings, decisions and next actions from the collaboration)
would be a close approximation to an in-person collaborative session.
But that's a lot of
technology to juggle on your screen, to hog and interfere with your
bandwidth, and (if you opt for the more powerful tools in these
categories) can also require some outlay of money. My experience has
been (thanks in no small part to the valuable insights of online
communication wizard Robin Good and
Skypemaster Stu Henshall)
that video-conferencing (seeing the people you're talking with online)
is a "nice to have" not a "need to have", especially when bandwidth
limitations force you to choose which applications to have running at
any one time.
I am confident that, as bandwidth and processing power continue to
expand, we will soon see:
- A single, free, reliable, easy-to-use,
professional-looking
application that will provide what I've called Simple Virtual Presence
-- the four applications listed above plus the option of
videoconferencing (illustrated above), and
- A simple, free,
easy-to-use collaboration space where the results
of the online collaboration sessions, and a library of relevant
resources and links, are stored, with wiki-like capability so it can
be
maintained by any and all in the group.
Now that would be a real virtual collaboration
environment.

07/13/2004 08:37 PMSince I first implemented ccValidator late last year, I've been
encouraged by the amount of feedback and suggestions I've received.
Common-ers everywhere have pointed out bugs, suggested improvements
and encouraged it's development into a useful tool.
Today, ccValidator has a new home: validator.creativecommons.
org and a handful of new features. The validator now supports
metadata specified as a seperate file with a <link
...> tag, and hopefully provides some improved error
messages when it runs into problems. If you have any validation
links, don't worry: we're redirecting calls to the validator at yergler.net to it's
new home.
Go ahead, kick the tires, and drop me a line if you have a

07/06/2004 06:29 PMSmart Mobs
links to an
inte
resting article on how the teenagers are using blogs. The
following two paragraphs make me raise my eyebrows in not completely
unlike Spock -manner:
What's consistent throughout is the search for validation. Though most
say they write entries for themselves, it's a disappointment if no one
responds. One Evergreen student recently posted a message pleading for
feedback. "it makes me sad that no one leaves me comments. . . .
i write like these huge entries . . . about so much stuff . . . and no
one even says anything in return. and i go to all of your xangas or
whatevers and ALWAYS leave a comment.
...
Most teens abide by an unwritten code of the blogosphere: What happens
online stays online. Many have digital friendships with classmates but
never socialize in real life "because we don't hang with the same
crowd, as one Evergreen student explained.
The first one I've heard from many people also in the Finnish
blogosphere. Feedback is what keeps many people writing, though some
are still happy just to organize their own thoughts, and don't really
care if someone reads them or not.
But combined with the second one... It's amazing how naturally the
teenagers consider online life a completely separate arena, one that
has nothing to do with the real life. It makes me actually wonder
about things like the Finnish blog awards, or the blogger meetings that are occurring
everywhere. It is strange to meet fellow bloggers, indeed: many
people write only of a single aspect of their life online, be it their
angst at being alone or their hobbies, or their day-to-day life. Very
few people pour all aspects of their life into the internet, and even
then the "compression" of the bandwidth is very lossy: you
only see some things, with the less interesting bits removed.
Many people have told me that they like to read their own blogs. I
like to do it myself, sometimes (then again, I'm not very critical at
myself :). This is not really very surprising, as it most probably is
the kind of text you like to read - and also because it makes your own
life to look more interesting. It's kinda like doing social
pornography on yourself - something that all of us do anyway. It's no
more different than looking through old photographs, or resting your
eyes on your own furniture (you chose it, so it must be pleasing).
Who are you blogging really for?
Why do I write online?
I guess there is no simple answer to that. Part of me yearns for
validation: the "Hey, I read your entry the other day and I
liked it" -moments. Part of me is narcistic: I want to be known,
scream out that my life has not been in vain. Part of it is simply
about the engineers built-in desire to change things, to have impact
on the world - nibble away at the corner of a huge statue so that it
becomes more beautiful. Part of me wants a place to store my thoughts
in some coherent order, and an important part of me just needs
to write.
But I guess the most important thing are the people. Weblogs allow me
to share things with the people I love, allow other people to discover
me and perhaps - if I'm lucky - they become friends. What I write is
only a small part of me, but it is the part I want you to see. They
are things I consider important, or things that move me. Or things
that are just silly and make me laugh.
I like bloggers. Blogging is not yet tainted by rampant
commercialism, nor big corporations saying "we want this",
or "we monetize that". Blogging is about creating something
new, be it in the form of your life, or just repeating old things but
in a new order. Bloggers have their own voice, some of them beautiful, and some of
them not so beautiful

c e 3 2 0 from our
BPN forum for this scoop.
The Microsoft Download Centre has been updated with some graphical
improvements on both the search, listings and item pages. Crucially in
the new look download centre many application downloads are now being
flagged with a "Genuine Users Symbol" Clicking the link
takes you off to read about the new validation system:
"The validation process also determines if you have activated
your copy of Windows. If you have not activated Windows, you will be
asked to enter the 25-character product key printed on the Certificate
of Authenticity (COA) you received with your PC or software
purchase.
Windows Activation is not required. You may access genuine Windows
downloads with either an activated Windows client, or by using a
Windows services activation key. Activation is, however, the quickest
and easiest way to receive genuine Windows downloads from the Download
Centre. Activation is also the best way to let Microsoft know that you
are a Windows Genuine Advantage customer, and that you are ready to
receive the service and support you that expect and deserve from
Microsoft. Read more about the Windows activation
process."
The document implies that is checking product activation, something
only applicable to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. So for it to
still be present on other Microsoft operating systems implies that
it's also checking keys as well. Although that is pure speculation on
my part. The checker is an ActiveX control and is not mandatory to
complete the download process.

06/24/2004 02:46 PMI mentioned this in the FeedDemon Tips blog
already, but thought I'd also mention it here: Download.com added a
"How To" guide to reading RSS feeds, and they've used FeedDemon for
their examples. The article is actually a nice introduction to
