Christopher Allen, Rip Van Winkle

Christopher Allen, Rip Van Winkle 03/06/2004 01:57 AM

I met Christopher Allen about a decade ago, when he ran Consensus Development, a company that made a commercial SSL toolkit. (Prior to that, he was involved in the startup of VeriSign, and in the development of the SSL reference implementation for Netscape.) I hadn't heard from him in a long time, and his recent essay, Se curity and Cryptography: The Bad Business of Fear, explains why. When he sold his company to Certicom in 1999, he signed a 5 3-year non-compete agreement. When it expired, he re-entered the security industry, expecting to find it much changed:

Internet time had still been moving fast back in 1999 and I wasn't sure how many generations had gone by in the security industry. One, two, more?

Microsoft improving bug rate – Allen


Microsoft improving bug rate – Allen 08/10/2004 10:57 AM
A senior Microsoft New Zealand executive, Terry Allen, confirmed this month that the company’s antivirus plan includes “behavioural” strategies, monitoring the kind of actions viruses attempt to perform on a computer system, rather than relying wholly on signatures. The conventional strategy of regular updates to a database of malware signatures is becoming more and more difficult to sustain as the lag between Microsoft’s notifying an exploitable bug in its software and the first hacker exploitation of it becomes shorter, says Allen, the manager of Microsoft's enterprise sales and partner group. With Nimda, three years ago, the interval was almost a year; for the recent Sasser worm, it was 18 days.

Paul Allen Wants To Build The Computer
Tutor


Paul Allen Wants To Build The Computer
Tutor
02/12/2004 07:39 PM
Since leaving Microsoft, Paul Allen has worked on a variety of "big" projects - most of which have gone nowhere. His latest, is a plan to build a computer tutor. He wants to build a system that can ace Advanced Placement exams, often used by high school kids to get college credit. The idea is not to use artificial intelligence - though, that seems to be a semantics issue. The way they describe the system it is an artificial intelligence machine, whether they like it or not. Of course, the more important issue is the one the article brushes over: this is a contest. Instead of just putting a bunch of people in a room to work on this, they're putting up money for three different teams to complete the task. This way, they can (in theory) get competing approaches and see what works best. It's a bit of money-based evolution, I guess. Of course, you wonder if this is a better method than something like the X Prize, where no upfront money is given, but there's a big prize at the end for the first successful contestant.

Paul Allen

Everyone knows about Bill Gates, the boy-wonder founder of Microsoft and the planet’s richest citizen. Although less well known, Paul Allen helped make Gates’s good fortunes possible, and he's certainly worth study for his mistakes just as much as his many successes. Enter former Industry Standard reporter Laura Rich, who does little to demystify Allen the man, but paints a useful portrait all the same. Rich takes readers through Allen’s career as an early Gates ally, a technically savvy man who first saw the possibilities of DOS, the operating system that drove a big chunk of the personal computer market, and launched several other software enterprises. Although he left Microsoft owing to illness in 1983 (according to Rich, Gates has behaved badly toward him ever since), Allen is still a major shareholder and has amassed a personal fortune that dwarfs the GNPs of whole nations. As Rich observes, Allen has put this money to good use as "technology’s archangel," but has also managed to lose staggering sums in misguided ventures--some too far ahead of their time, some just plain wacky.

A big thanks to our outgoing guestblogger, Russ Kick of The Memory Hole, who filled the right-hand column with no shortage of interesting things during his visit. Mr. Kick is now off to write his next book, 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know, Vol. 2 due for release in November.

Our next guestbar resident, Christopher Coppola, has completed eight feature motion pictures. The latest of these is Creature of the Sunny Side-Up Trailer Park (a.k.a. Bloodhead), which had its world premiere during the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars screen legends Frank Gorshin and Shirley Jones, and television icons Lynda Carter and Bernie Kopell. His other film credits include the Trimark Pictures release Deadfall (1993) starring Nicolas Cage, Michael Biehn, and James Coburn; Gunfighter (1998) starring Martin Sheen, Robert Carradine, and Clu Gulager; Palmer's Pick-Up: An American Roadshow Odyssey (1999) starring Robert Carradine and Rosanna Arquette; Dracula's Widow (1989) which he produced for De Laurentiis Entertainment Group; G-Men From Hell (2000) starring William Forsythe, Tate Donovan, and Gary Busey; Bel-Air (2000) starring Charles Fleischer and Barbara Bain; and Clockmaker (1998), a children's fantasy film shot on location in Romania for Kuschner-Locke.

Christopher is co-founder and spokesperson for Ars Nova XXI, the mother company of PlasterCITY Productions (an independent feature and television production company that concentrates on HD digital format) and PlasterCITY Digital Post (a post-production facility that specializes in editing and onlining for feature films, television, shorts, commercials, and music videos.)

Welcome, Christopher!

Director and digital filmmaking evangelist Christopher Coppola (IMDB link, production company link) launched a photo/audio/mobile/text blog a few months ago. Lately, it's really falling into a sweet stride. At left, a photo posted today to mark the passing of a family member. Mr. Coppola and the legion of digital filmmaking wizards he houses in Hollywood are up to many interesting things. I expect great stuff to come to light on and off the blog from him this year.
