Another Thought Experiment
Another Thought Experiment
01/16/2004 01:04 PMMark Pilgram
expresses his concerns about how some aggregators plan
to handle invalid Atom feeds. Mark believes that rejecting
invalid XML on the client side is a bad idea, and proposes a thought
experiment in which all web browsers use strict XML parsers and refuse
to display XHTML that isn't well-formed.
This is a bit of a bait-and-switch, though. XHTML has the whole
sordid history of HTML on its back, and since browsers have generally
been forgiving of even the most convoluted HTML there's a substantial
backwards-compatibility issue. The XML-based Atom, however, is brand-spanking new, so it doesn't
have the same baggage as XHTML.
So, let's try another thought experiment. I've copied Mark's Atom
newsfeed and made it invalid XML by adding a single &
character, then uploaded it to my site:
http://www.bradsoft.c
om/feeds/badatom.xml
Mark asks us to "imagine that all web browsers use strict XML
parsers," but rather than use our imaginations, lets see what happens
when we browse this feed in Internet Explorer:
Hmmm...IE appears to be doing client-side validation, and it shows
an error instead of displaying the feed's contents. Okay, so let's
try Mozilla:
Looks like Mozilla does the same thing. How about Opera?
So, the most popular Windows browsers all perform client-side
validation, and fail to display the contents of the invalid Atom feed.
There's nothing surprising here, of course - any validating XML
parser will reject this feed.
Consumers of RSS feeds have had to code around all sorts of
validation problems in order to be backwards-compatible with existing
feeds. Atom, however, is new, so customers aren't already subscribed
to hundreds of invalid Atom feeds. Being well-formed is a requirement
of XML, and Atom is defined as an XML format, so why not expect Atom
feeds to be well-formed? Let's get it right this time.

OpenCourseWare in worldwide use and
experiment
OpenCourseWare in worldwide use and
experiment
03/13/2003 10:16 AM MIT 's recently
released OpenCourseWare (
OCW ) is
being used by people around the world , who are putting its
materials to different uses.
Mr. Cooper, who describes himself as "a lowly tech-ed guy" at Pacific
University, in Oregon, says that he envisions a future in which
professors and students, using free course materials like MIT's and
open-classroom sites on the Web like Tapped In, will exchange their
teaching services through a kind of online barter system.
"I could volunteer my hours [to teach] at the high-school level and
that would give me credit to then get other hours from somebody else,"
says Mr. Cooper, an education-technology specialist at Pacific.
...
At a Unesco forum about the project in Paris in July, Alain Senteni,
director of the Virtual Center for Innovative Learning Technologies,
at the University of Mauritius, said his institution had an interest
in translating and adapting the content of MIT courses for
French-speaking developing countries.
And Mohammed Dahbi, a professor at Mohammed V University's Agdal
campus, in Morocco, said faculty members and administrators might use
OpenCourseWare as a model for course structure and pedagogy when they
recast their courses during the next few years. University courses, he
said, are being rewritten as part of a broad reform movement in
Morocco.
The high-profile, positive reception of OCW has prompted
other institutions to pursue similar initiatives of Webbing up
course content for world usage.

The File Sharing Experiment
The File Sharing Experiment
08/05/2004 12:38 PMThe File
Sharing Experiment is a project with the goal of demonstrating how
file sharing actually helps the music, movie, and software industry.
Folks are encouraged to post purchases they've made and a short
explanation of how they learned about the band/movie/game and why they
ended up buying something for it. All the evidence is anectdotal, but
when taken together, it's already over a quarter million dollars in
reported sales and the site has been up for one week.
Personally, this was the point I tried to make in the heyday of
Napster. You could find anything on Napster, but rarely could you find
complete albums, so the service had the effect of promoting CD sales.
I would often surf others' music lists whenever I noticed things I
liked, download the things I hadn't ever heard of, then I'd end up
buying CDs from Amazon.

Portsmouth's Free Experiment Expands
Portsmouth's Free Experiment Expands
05/27/2004 03:17 PMPortsmouth, New Hampshire, expands a one-year trial of free Wi-Fi in
its downtown: I first heard about this on the radio program I was
interviewed on yesterday on New Hampshire Public Radio (show archived
at this page). The first year had 600 unique users connect to a free
hotspot in the Market Square area. They're extending that and hoping
for twice the users using donated services and hardware. The cost must
be quite minimal. Now 600 people (not 600 sessions) only translates
into an extra few people a day, on average, but Portsmouth is using
whatever tools they have to increase traffic to the community. The
fellow interviewed alongside me on the radio said that their big time
is cyclical, every four years, when the primaries roll through the
state, and that reporters were filing over the free Wi-Fi this last
winter....

Pool contains student- and faculty-created work, which may be
freely used and shared:
The Pool emphasizes distributed creativity, a concept similar to a
cluster computer for the media world. Users can dive into the Pool and
search for visuals or audio tracks to use with their own projects,
find collaborators to work with or ask for feedback from their peers.
Contributors also can propose a concept for others to implement, or
respond to invitations to explore, debug, re-edit or remix existing
works.
