Surviving Chernobyl

Surviving Chernobyl 09/04/2004 01:27 AM
Chernobyl survivor interview - Over at the New Scientist site Alexander Yuvchenko (one of the few surviving workers at the site) talks about the day Chernobyl went kablooie. "...we walked outside. What we saw was terrifying. Everything that could be destroyed had been. The entire water coolant system was gone. The right-hand side of the reactor hall had been completely destroyed, and on the left the pipes were just hanging." "From where I stood I could see a huge beam of projected light flooding up into infinity from the reactor. It was like a laser light, caused by the ionisation of the air. It was light-bluish, and it was very beautiful. I watched it for several seconds. If I'd stood there for just a few minutes I would probably have died on the spot..."

Surviving Two Weeks With No Internet

Surviving Two Weeks With No Internet 09/22/2004 04:20 AM
Just how much do you rely on the internet on a daily basis? There are some people who can easily leave the internet completely behind when on vacation. However, what about doing everyday things that you've come to rely on it for? An experiment sponsored by Yahoo had 28 people give up the internet for two weeks to see how they coped. Not everyone took it so well. They increased usage of other media like the telephone, television and movies to replace the missing internet. One couple claims their phone bill tripled. While the lack of email was definitely a nuisance, it was "the little things" that really seemed to get to some. Not being able to get directions online and (the most embarrassing situation, apparently) not knowing how to boil an egg, and having no idea where to go to figure it out seemed to be the biggest problem. Honestly, though, for all the talk about people being "addicted" to the internet, this suggests that's not the case at all for the (small) group of people involved in this experiment. It's just that they find the internet useful in getting random every day tasks done.

Surviving the Political Season

Surviving the Political Season 09/07/2004 02:41 PM
I've been completely frustrated with the level of political discourse this year here in the US. With only two months left in the election, neither candidate has come forward and provided a detailed plan for what they'd like to see happen for the future. "I'll put more money in the pockets of the working family" really isn't helping me make any decisions. However, there are a couple of good sites online that can help you cut through the misleading statements that the candidates are making in their bids to snow their way into office.

Mark Frauenfelder: Business Week profiles Gary Stern, president of the world's only pinball machine maker.

In 1932, there were an estimated 150 pinball-machine makers worldwide ... Although sales have remained stable at about 10,000 units a year, the coin-op business has been on a downward trajectory for years. As recently as the early 1990s, the industry churned out more than 100,000 machines annually.

.NET reality check

.NET reality check 01/27/2004 02:51 PM
There's been some pushback recently, in the .NET blogging community, about Microsoft's habit of living in the future. For example:

It is abundantly frustrating to be keeping up with you guys right now. We out here in the real world do not use Longhorn, do not have access to Longhorn (not in a way we can trust for production), and we cannot even begin to test out these great new technologies until version 1.0 (or 2.0 for those that wish to stay sane). I know there's probably not a whole lot you can do, but this is a plea to you from someone "in the field". My job is to work on the architecture team as well as implement solutions for a large-scale commercial website using .NET. I use this stuff all day every day, but I use the 1.1 release bits.

Here's my point, enough with the "this Whidbey, Longhorn, XAML is so cool you should stop whatever it is you are doing and use it". Small problem, we can't. Please help us by remembering that we're still using the release bits, not the latest technology. [Michael Earls]

In the spirit of Michael's plea, I'm working on an upcoming article in which I'll compare what was promised for the .NET platform (er, framework), two and three years ago, with the current reality as it exists today. Examples of the kinds of issues I want to consider: ...

Helping to make Bush's case: Education Secretary Rod Paige. (You may remember Paige's outrageous comments earlier this year likening the nation's largest teachers union to a "terrorist organization.")

Test Dynamics

Test Dynamics 10/28/2003 11:07 PM

Recently I was discussing with one of our developers the impact that managed code is having on the product groups.  For a group like mine, which develops APIs, the ratio of dev to test is usually 1:1; in other words, one tester for every dev.  However, with the advent of managed code, our devs are somewhere close to twice as productive as before -- this means that one dev can overwhelm a tester pretty quickly.  And although managed code tends to be significantly less buggy, the testers still need to do just as much testing -- testing isn't the sort of thing you can stop just because you aren't finding many bugs.  In fact, the ever-increasing emphasis on quality for enterprise customers and security testing means that testers will be expected to do more testing than before.  All of this adds up to a trend where the average product group is going to be spending at least 150% more on test resources than dev resources in the near future.

At least, that's my prediction.  I find the whole idea has many interesting implications.  For example, we will be spending a larger portion of the budget on test, and this will probably coincide with a reduction in support costs -- but much of the quality improvements will be due to managed code rather than increased test expenditures.

On the other hand, there is always the possibility that the ever-increasing test expenditures will not coincide with a reduction in the number or severity of high-profile security and quality incidents.  In fact, if you were to graph the number of security incidents over time on one line of a graph and the average test expenditures over time on another line, I suspect that the graph of the most recent years would look rather depressing.  Optimistic thinking would suggest that the increase in security incidents is due to heightened attention to security and will level off as investments due to training and testing eventually bear fruit.  But it's going to be interesting to observe this.

Another interesting graph would show marketing expenditures from 1995 to present on one line, and corresponding customer perception/satisfaction on another.
