Is Kazaa Really Centralized?

Is Kazaa Really Centralized? 02/12/2004 02:44 AM
While many have been following the story about the music police raiding Sharman/Kazaa's office, one competitor thinks it's a good thing. Streamline, the makers of the Morpheus file sharing application, has a long history with Kazaa - as they used to license the same technology until they were accused of not paying their bills and were shut off. So, clearly, they are a bit biased against Kazaa, but they're bringing up a very important point. The whole point of having a truly distributed file sharing network is that it can't be shut down, even if you shut down the folks who released the software. Yet, Morpheus was shut down two years ago which made many people questio n how this was possible. Over time, these questions have faded, but the folks behind Morpheus are raising the question again and saying that Ka zaa is really centralized - and have been hiding behind their odd corporate structure to hide this fact for the last couple years. That would be quite a revelation, and would seriously damage Kazaa's legal standing. Thus, the folks behind Morpheus are hoping that the questionable raid on Kazaa's offices will establish this for certain. It appears that, once again, there isn't much harmony in the file sharing world.

IRC as the lazyweb

IRC as the lazyweb 03/06/2004 01:57 AM
I have been a long time PGP key owner, but have almost never used it. A year ago, while I was talking with the Chandler folk about working for them, I ran into this great essay by Brad Templeton, Returning privacy to E-mail, and ever since then I have kept my eyes open for a more user-friendly approach to encrypting email. Tonight, I ran into this glowing review of new product, Voltage's identity based encryption, which claimed to go a considerable way to solving the problem that Brad Templeton wrote about a while ago. I looked over Voltage's site, but didn't feel competent to evaluate the new approach myself. The first thing I did was shoot off an email to Bruce Schneier, Counterpane CTO and author of Crypto-Gram, as well as several very good books. I don't expect a personal answer from Schneier, whom I have never met, but I hoped (and hope) that perhaps he will cover the topic in the next edition of Crypto-Gram. Just for fun, I posed the question on a recently much maligned IRC channel that I sometimes lurk on. Within minutes I had a link to the original paper on identity based encryption, a link to PGP Inc. CTO's critique of the approach, which blew a few good sized holes in it, and an intelligent discussion of it on the IRC channel. After half an hour, I felt like I had a slightly informed opinion on the subject (identity based encryption is not quite the panacea that its proponents claim, because it creates new problems while solving old ones). The power of the web to harness many minds in common cause still amazes me, even in trivial examples like this one. Of course, there is always another point of view....

LazyWeb, while you sleep

LazyWeb, while you sleep 04/10/2005 02:16 PM

I often have dreams that feature technology ideas, but I don't always remember them and more often than not they're just goofy ideas. This morning's dream is somewhat in the goofy category but might be useful to some, and since I remember all of it in detail I'll relate it here.

So I'm stopping by Andy's office in Santa Monica to go have lunch (I think I was on a roadtrip in my dream), and while he steps away to grab his jacket I notice there's an IM window scrolling past with loads of text. When he gets back a few seconds later I ask him what that is, and he says he's watching the Simpsons over IM.

I say "you're doing what? how?" and he explains it, and this is way more detail than I normally remember in dreams, but I thought it was such a cool idea I think I kind of "saved" it so I would remember later. So he goes on, explaining how he built a chatbot that is wired to a stream of TV closed captioning, so you add captionbot to your buddy list, then talk to it. You ask it what's on TV right now, and it returns a list of shows, you pick a show and it starts streaming out dialogue from characters, directly via closed caption data. "It's like watching a show in text" I say and then we go off to lunch.

And that's all I remember. Andy built a really cool text adventure bot last year, and TVeyes is basically Technorati for TV (though they predate Technorati by several years), searching caption histories for words or phrases. I doubt you can get real time caption data and I'm not even sure if reading a tv show would be interesting, but I figured I'd share the dream with everyone, in case someone feels like building it.

LazyWeb Request: Change Tracking a la
Word for Any Text 12/11/2003 04:57 PM
Probably the single best feature (yes, there is a good feature) in Word is change-tracking, the ability to see what's been added, deleted, and altered since I last saw the document or since the document began. I can choose to hide the changes or have them exposed in all their g[l]ory detail.

I'd love an app (preferably for my Mac) that'll do the same for any arbitrary text file. And, before you say it, don't say "diff." This is at best a blunt instrument, doesn't know who made what change where, and is on a line-by-line basis which isn't quite enough granularity for any real prose editing. Yes, I can use RCS or CVS, but again we're talking line-level granularity, no? If I'm simply overlooking something, please do correct me.

If not, then I appeal too the LazyWeb to point me in the right direction.

From Wish List to Check List: Customer
Input Drives Microsoft Office OneNote
2003 Service Pack 1 04/20/2004 11:26 PM
In an academic setting, a score of 90 percent earns an automatic "A". By that measure, the team shaping Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 merits a similar high passing grade. When the innovative application debuted last October, it reflected the pioneering edge of the digital note-taking category. Today, Microsoft honed that edge by announcing the preview release of Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 (OneNote SP1). Ninety percent of the features included in the software update are a direct result of customer input and feedback -- with the remaining 10 percent coming from indirect customer feedback.

Macromedia - Contribute: Contribute 3 is out. Macromedia claims "300 enhancements," but I can't find a list.

There's an impressive list of features here, but it doesn't break out what's new in this version. I did see some neat stuff that I hadn't seen before, like FrontPage Extension compatibility, WEBDAV support (which means you could use it to edit database-based pages), and Flash Paper 2, which apparently now includes PDF generation.

I also noticed that Macromedia is pushing something called the Macromedia Web Publishing System. It's a bundle of Studio MX, Contribute 3, and Contribute Publishing Services:

Contribute Publishing Services is a server application that provides central administration and tracking of user access and publishing activities on the website. It provides central management of site connections and access permissions, while server-based logging and e-mail notifications provide a deeper view into publishing activities.

According to this Breeze presentation, you can use this to source Contribute users out of LDAP.

Contribute hammering FTP servers?

Contribute hammering FTP servers? 11/17/2003 06:40 PM

We're having a problem at work with Macromedia Contribute. We host sites for a number of local companies, and one of them wants to use Contribute to update its site. The problem is that whenever Contribute tries to connect to our FTP server, it opens up 30 simultaneous connections, effectively running a denial of service that prevents other clients from logging in during peak times. I've searched the 'net and haven't found any references to this problem; does anyone know anything about the issue? We're running ProFTPD 1.2.9 and the client is using Macromedia Contribute 2.
