Future-Proofing Contact Information

Future-Proofing Contact Information 01/26/2004 12:36 PM

How do you future-proof contact information? It strikes me that, through the years, I migrate from one messaging platform to another, but I'm generally contacting the same people. My Mom is going to be my Mom no matter what email client I'm using. Probably true for my wife, too.

So, when I switch from Outlook to Outlook Express to Mozilla Mail to Thunderbird, I'm having to export and import all my contact information every time, hope I don't lose anything in translation, and hope that it stays constant even when subject to the quirks and vagaries of each platform.

Should there be a XML schema for archiving contact information, so that it's always the same? So I could just put people in this XML file, then import to various platforms as I switched (or, if they don't support the schema, do an XSL transform to something they do support)? So this XML file would be the one, true source for information about the people I know.

(Even taking out the XML angle, is it worthwhile to abstract your contact information away from a particular client? Regardless of what you store it in, is it just good practice to keep it in a vendor-neutral, highly-exportable format rather than a proprietary app?)

It concerns me that, as I wander through various software, I don't have a "home base" for all my contact information; a format that my mother's contact information can live in from here to eternity. Is this the point where the mother of invention requires that I invent the schema?

Do Not Contact Me, Ever

Do Not Contact Me, Ever 11/05/2003 06:04 PM
An interesting look from the other side of the coin on the whole "do not call" and "do not spam" world. Plenty of companies that are doing legitimate marketing over the phone and email are scared to death of frivolous lawsuits from folks who don't remember signing up with them. Some have kept meticulous records of their relationship with people, but still know they're going to end up in court. Just keeping track of all that information and doing their best to scrub their lists clean is proving to be costly. Of course, there's one telling quote in the article, where one person says: "We brought this on ourselves—it's all telemarketers' faults." Exactly. If they really did a good job and not an intrusive job of marketing to people, this wouldn't be such a big issue.

Seth Shostak, senior astronomer for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI), predicts that we'll detect an extraterrestrial transmission within twenty years. The bold forecast is based on two factors: an estimation of how many alien transmitters there might be in our galaxy, and Moore's Law, which says that computer processing power will double every eighteen months or so. From New Scientist:

"Within a generation, radio emissions from enough stars will be observed and analysed to find the first alien civilisation, Shostak estimates. But because they will probably be between 200 and 1000 light years away, sending a radio message back will take centuries."

As part of the whole "stepping away from Parrot" thing, I've unsubscribed from all the parrot and perl related mailing lists (including the cabal list), I'm not logging into perlmonks or use.perl, and I'm not doing IRC any more. Maybe someday in the future, but for right now... nope. If you need to get in touch with me, e-mail works and I've usually got an AIM client (AdiumX -- quite nice) running, so you're welcome to ping me that way. No promises I'll answer -- I'm wrapping up the $WORK_PROJECT and looking for a new one -- but it...

Contact with Google

Contact with Google 05/10/2004 05:51 AM

I have been emailing with David Krane, a PR person at Google, who works alongside Cindy McCaffery. That's good. He had emailed me an invite to use Gmail in the first wave of invites, but my very crude spam system coughed it up, and then hurled his follow-up email. Once I knew it was there and got back from Europe I tried to use it, only to find out that the invite had expired. Over the weekend David very kindly set me up with a new one, and now I have an empty Gmail account, dave.winer. Obviously it's not going to be much use until it starts getting some email, so send me a message if you feel so inclined.

As noted yesterday, it was disappointing that the new Blogger interface, which looks quite nice, doesn't support RSS 2.0. I'm far from the only one who's commenting. It would be so easy to do, so not evil, so grown-up, so much appreciated if they would just do it. Pretty soon RSS is going to be known as the format of the BigPubs, which is totally ironic because I'm one of the original bloggers. Come on guys, what if I say please? Please, I'm down on bended knees .

Another note, I now have four different logins at Google: Orkut, AdSense, Blogger and Gmail. Each with a different username and password. Now here's an area where Google could be a leader, provide an alternative to Passport, something we really need, a Google-size problem.

Both user interfaces, Gmail and the new Blogger are very slick, but Gmail is the more sophisticated. Those guys should get busy with blogging, if they're not already working on a blogging interface. And don't be surprised when Google announces a centralized aggregator a la Bloglines (hopefully not with a three-pane interface). That will be Microsoft's cue to release announce theirs, and we're off to the races. (I bet Sun buys Bloglines.) That's why it's so incredibly important that the format coalesce now before it becomes a basis for competition, like the browser wars of the 1990s. That's why I'm beggin. (Of course, with the great running start RSS has, this could be the final act for the Tech industry. Imagine if the users told them to get with the program or die. That would be very very cool.)
