LazyWeb Request: Change Tracking a la
Word for Any Text

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.

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.

Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea

Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
I want to return to the idea I floated a few days ago about bug-trackin g software for newsrooms. The comment s response ranged from "neat idea!" to "it'll never work," so let's look it over again.

What I imagined was something similar to the way open-source software development projects manage bug reports. When people file bugs against such a project, they go to a publicly available online resource and enter a form that says "Here's a problem I encountered," and provide details. Different projects follow different organizational structures, but generally speaking, other developers will review the bug and try to classify it: Sometimes they'll say it's a duplicate and point to previous entries in the database that dealt with it; sometimes they'll say it's a simple problem and go fix it right away and close it out; sometimes they'll say it's a big one and leave it open to be dealt with in the future; sometimes they'll say it's a "known bug" that for one reason or another is never going to be fixed; sometimes they'll say it's not a bug at all.

For a newsroom, the idea is to provide a structure and a channel for reader dissatisfaction. You wouldn't have to follow the software model detail for detail, but the general outline could be valuable: Provide a form for readers to enter complaints, one that requires them to present details. Post the complaint publicly as soon as it's entered, and record the publication's response in a reasonably prompt fashion -- anything from "Thanks, we fixed the spelling on that name" to "we chose the phrase 'private accounts' because it is an accurate description of the president's proposal, and the label was in wide use by supporters of the idea until very recently, so we do not plan to stop using the term." The explanation is on record, and if other readers keep filing the same complaint they can simply be pointed back to the original answer. Spam? Just delete it. Letters to the editor that don't have a specific complaint? Re-route them to the letters box.

The most common objection seems to be, forget it -- this will become another free-for-all for political partisans to work out their agendas, another wide-open Internet forum that will degenerate into circular debate. Such forums already exist, to be sure; the point of a bug tracker is to avoid that outcome by choosing a narrower environment for the feedback that allows you to quickly aggregate and dispose of duplicate complaints, and that provides a public record of responsiveness and accountability. If 500 people all holler that you shouldn't say "private accounts," you can answer them once and be done with it -- but you can point each individual complaint back to your explanation, so those people understand that you actually heard them and offered some sort of response. There's a big difference between the silence of no response and "no, we're not doing that, here's why." The latter won't satisfy everyone, but it at least acknowledges that there's been an exchange on the subject.

Ross Karchner proposed a somewhat different model based on wiki practices: "1) A publically viewable changelog, where you can see, in detail, the changes made to an article. 2) A place where the author(s) and editor(s) can discuss the changes needed and made. This is also in public view..." I'm not sure whether Ross means the changelog and the writer/editor dialogue to commence from the first time the writer composed a draft, or only upon publication. The former is, I think, too wide open -- even a blogger has the right to compose a posting and revise it in private before choosing to push the "publish" button. The latter is fine -- but since most reputable publications rarely change articles once they're published, and note the changes as corrections if they do, then it's just codifying an existing practice in slightly different ways.

As for the idea of trying all this out at Salon: Who knows, I might well advocate it, though my current on-leave status doesn't put me in a good spot to work on it. But Salon has been dealing with the back-and-forth of online criticism of our work for 9 years plus. Whatever problems we may suffer from, a failure of responsiveness to online feedback is not, I think, one of them, and we have a pretty sturdy process for reviewing complaints fast and correcting them where needed.

I think this approach would pay off best for a newsroom that is having difficulty convincing readers that the publication is actually listening to them. If you showed the public that you were recording and responding to the issues they raised -- whether you end up publishing a correction or simply saying, "We don't think that needs correcting, and here's why" -- I think you'd start to bank some confidence and trust pretty quickly.

I'm not suggesting that this idea is the single, one-fix-solves-all-problems answer to the ills of journalism today. It's a pragmatic, you-could-do-it-real-soon suggestion for beginning to deal with professional journalism's biggest problem: the public's loss of trust, which begins with the sense that media companies are big institutions that pay no attention to their own mistakes.
