Cyber Yugoslavia

Cyber Yugoslavia 12/31/2003 06:11 PM

Check any current map, count all the countries there and you'll come up one short every time; Cyber Yugoslavia doesn't exist in the real world, yet, but according to its founders, is a real country nonetheless.

This is Cyber Yugoslavia. Home of Cyber Yugoslavs. We lost our country in 1991 and became citizens of Atlantis. Since  September 9, 1999 this is our home. We don't have a physical land, but we do have nationality, and we are giving  CY citizenships and CY passports. Because this is Atlantis, we are allowing double and triple citizenships. If you feel Yugoslav, you are welcome to apply for CY citizenship, regardless of your current nationality and citizenship, and you will be accepted. Please read our Constitution for the details. If you are just curious, you are welcome to visit us as tourists.

This land will grow as our citizens wish. Neither faster, nor slower. Neither more, nor less. So, this site will always be under construction. For a solid country to grow, even a virtual one, it takes some time. 

When we have five million citizens, we plan to apply to the UN for member status. When this happens, we will ask 20 square meters of land anywhere on Earth to be our country. On this land, we'll keep our server.

Many who spend a lot of time online feel more connected to other people online than to their own family or neighbors, so there might be good reasons for someone to become a "citizen" of a cyber community. In today's Breakpoint Commentary. Chuck Colson says that virtual communities are severely lacking because...

...social networks based on shared interests, like the Internet, do not require us to think about more than ourselves. On the contrary, in cyberspace, it’s easy to forget that anyone else—any real people—really exists.

In the online world, there is no need to be neighborly, hospitable, or generous—not just because you can’t be held accountable, but because it is not possible. The “community” is not physically held together, and the mode of interaction precludes acts of meaningful self-denial. The practice of virtues like self-denial shapes character and builds friendships—friendships that, in turn, hold us morally accountable. It just can’t happen in cyberspace.

Interesting food for thought.

Cyber Terrorism Is Just A Theory

Cyber Terrorism Is Just A Theory 11/11/2003 05:50 AM
For years, when many folks were predicting the imminent end of civilization due to cyber-terrorism, there were plenty of others who believed the actual risks associated with cyber terrorism are very low, compared to other threats that are out there. That's not to say it couldn't cause hassles - but the predictions of all out destruction seemed to go a bit far. Now Gartner has gotten into the game and is saying that cyber terrorism is much more of a theory than reality. Basically, though, they're saying that no one has initiated any online attacks with terror as their motive. They admit that other attacks have caused real damage - but with a different motive. In other words, they're making it all a big semantic debate, rather than a substantive one. However, the end result is still the same: you should try to make sure your own systems are secure, but don't freak out every time someone mentions "cyber terrorism".

He says that law enforcement still doesn't take online crime seriously enough, and that's letting these online criminals take over. His solution is to get prosecutors who will take down online criminals and make an example of them. In other words, someone needs to take charge and clean up cyberspace.

Gibson: Cyber-Claus

Gibson: Cyber-Claus 12/26/2004 04:44 PM
Xeni Jardin: On William Gibson's blog, a holiday-themed short which was originally published as "Cyber-Claus", in The Washington Post Book World in 1991. Snip:

In the night of 12/24/07, though sensors woven through the very fabric of the house had thus far registered a complete absence of sentient bio-activity, I found myself abruptly summoned from a rare, genuine and expensively induced examples of that most priceless of states, sleep.

Even as I hurriedly dressed, I knew that dozens of telepresent armed-response drones would already be sweeping in from the District, skimming mere inches above the chill surface of the Potomac. Vicious tri-lobed aeroforms that they were, they resembled nothing more than the Martian war machines of George Pal’s 1953 epic, “The War of the Worlds”.

And while, from somewhere far above, now, came that sound, that persistent clatter, as though gunships disgorged whole platoons of iron-shod mercenaries, I could only wonder: who? Was it my estranged wife, Lady Betty-Jayne Motel-6 Hyatt, Chief Eco-Trustee of the Free Duchy of Wyoming? Or was it Cleatus “Mainframe” Sinyard himself, President of the United States and Perpetual Chairman of the Concerned Smart People’s Northern Hemisphere CoProsperity Sphere?

XML 4 Merge Modules

from components to modules

from components to modules 01/11/2004 07:52 AM

Right now I'm refactoring/rebuilding the user interface of a new release coming out soon (oh right... Note to self: talk about that) and I'm facing the fight against "sticky" APIs. Or, in more technical terms, their coupling.

Ideally, a certain component set that is self-contained (say, and HTML component) will be isolated from other components at the same level. This makes it both simpler, easier to maintain and, contrary to what one might think, often faster. While I was at Drexel, at the Software Engineering Research Group, I did work on source code analysis, studying things like automatic clustering (paper) of software systems, that is, creating software that was able to infer the modules present on a source code base using API cross-references as a basis. Since then I've always been aware (more than I was before that, that is) of the subtle pull created by API references.

The holy grail in this sense is, for me, to create applications that are built of fully interchangeable pieces, that connect dynamically at runtime, thus avoiding compile-time dependencies. In theory, we have many ways of achieving this decoupling between components or component sets; in practice there are some barriers that make it hard to get it right the first time. Or the second. Or...

First, the most common ways of achieving component decoupling are:

1. Through data: usually this means a configuration file, but it could be a database or whatever else is editable post-compilation. This is one of the reasons why XML is so important, btw.
2. Through dynamic binding: that is, references "by name" of classes or methods. This is useful mostly with OO languages, as you'll generally end up dynamically allocating a superclass and then using an interface (or superclass) to access the underlying object without losing generality (and thus without increasing coupling).

Achieving decoupling in non-UI components is not too difficult (the data model has to flexible enough though, see below). But UIs are almost by definition something that pulls together all the components of a program so they can be used or managed. The UI references (almost) everything else by necessity, directly or indirectly, and visual components affect each other (say, a list on the left that changes what you see on the right).

In my experience, MVC is an absolute necessity to achieve at least a minimal level of decoupling. Going further is possible by using a combination of data (ie., config files) to connect dynamically loaded visual components removes the coupling created at the UI level, but that is difficult to achieve, because it complicates the initial development process (with dynamically loaded components bugs become more difficult to track, the build process is more complex, etc.) and development tools in general deal with code-units (e.g., classes, or source files) rather than with modules. They go from fine-grained view of a system (say, a class or even a method) to a project, with little in between. We are left with separating files in directories to make a project manageable, which is kind of crazy when you think how far we've come in other areas, particularly in recent years.

The process then becomes iterative, one of achieving higher degrees of decoupling on each release. One thing I've found: that the underlying data model of the application has to be flexible enough, be completely isolated (as a module) and relatively abstract, not just to evolve itself but also to allow the developer to change everything that's "on top" of it and improve the structure of the application without affecting users, etc.

Yes, this is relatively "common knowledge", but I'm a bit frustrated at the moment because I know how things "should be" structured in the code I'm working on but I also know that time is limited, so I make some improvements and move on, leaving the rest for the next release.

Final thought: Until major development tools fully incorporate the concept of modules into their operation (and I mean going beyond the lame use of, for example, things like Java packages in today's Java tools), until they treat a piece of user interface as more than a source file (so far, all of the UI designers I've seen maintain a pretty strict correspondence between a UI design "form" and a single file/class/whatever that references everything else), it will be difficult to get things right on the first try.

Imagine my shock and delight as I trolled through Roland Tanglao's page yesterday and discovered Flickr's 'Zeitgeist!

It's YA blog gutter display module - picking up where Laszlo's Photoblox leaves off. Now instead of having to build XML files of your slide show/photo album - it takes the images directly from your Flickr collection - PERFECT!

Another win for integration! Aren't built-in constructs fun - once you KNOW they're there?

Then I found a post by Stewert Butterfield on it. This all happened while I was down and off-line (fighting malware), so my apologies to Stewert and the rest of the Flickr team.

Great job guys and gals!

Now my Flikr photos get sent to this coolio checkerboard, puzzle display (even if it's done in Flash - it's still cooolio - the Flickr people are Flash masters.....)

My only request is for a larger and even largest size. I can get over 50%-60% more display space in my gutter! I hate wasting space.

Here's Stewert's post.....

Gutter modules redux

Gutter modules redux 07/22/2004 01:30 PM

Julian Bond has submitted a great idea to the LazyWeb - I guess assuming that one Ben Hammersely will jump through the proverbial hoop and hack it right up - with some of those sexy shell scripts he and Danny O'Brien love to talk about.

Here's Julian's idea......

Imagine a block in the margin of Joi Ito's weblog.

Last update: 9:23am.
Location: Geneva Airport.
Listening: Monkey Radio.
Last seen in IRC: Channel #joiito 1m43s ago.
Phone: On a call.
Last Meeting: Davros.
Next meeting: Supernova.
Mood:Inspired

That sounds like to me - a lot of what MeNowDocument could handle, with new kinds of micro-content inside of it, with new kinds of collaboration inspired by it.

It also reminds me of a contest we tried to do with CMP back in '95-'96 "Where's Barlow?".

All in all - I'd say blog gutter stuff is coming into it's own. Credit Jason DeFillippo with much of this. His Blogrolling.com (now owned by Tucows) was the first service I ever saw which utilized this idea of blog gutter 'stuff'.

I was so inspired - I came up with a wh ole strategy for Jason.

So now we have Tribe Cast, Ping.net, Blogshares, Technorati, Laszlo's BlogBox and various forms of RSS feeds.

Isn't life getting interesting?

Oh yah - and Google AdSense.
