Can't wait to run into Russ

Can't wait to run into Russ 03/14/2005 05:09 PM

I sure hope to see Russell Beattie somewhere in my travels.

I gotta get him to help me find his new MyYahoo RSS reader for mobile phones.

I got a coolio 6630 from Charlie Shick at Nokia - and I'm roaming around using it and it's fancy features. Sure hope loading data off ofit works - as it's my only camera I'll have with me.

I wonder where the plug-in for Lifeblog for MT is?

It's kind of fun watching Russ turn into a Yahoopster.

But Wait... There's More: MSBlockFlix

But Wait... There's More: MSBlockFlix 08/12/2004 04:31 AM
Yesterday, I wrote about how Blockbuster's Netflix-copycat offering seeme d pretty weak in that it didn't do anything more than Netflix and didn't really leverage their stores at all. Oddly, it appears they held back on a bigger announcement for one day. Now, comes the news that Microsoft and Blockbuster are teaming up to offer downloadable movies among other things, as part of the effort. Netflix has said in the past that they'll eventually offer downloadable movies, but this is one way that Blockbuster can go a bit further out of the gate. Of course, that would be true if the offering were any good -- but unfortunately, it looks like they're just bundling the incredibly weak CinemaNow offering, which has been described as "annoyin g to use," "agonizingly slow," and having a "pathetically thin selection." Not particularly enticing. The MSN/Blockbuster link will also let people buy tickets to movies. Basically, they're setting up a system so that you can watch movies any way you want -- download, delivered by mail, picked up at store, or in that (oh yeah) theater place. This strikes me as a bit more interesting, but the implementation appears pretty weak. Still, it might be cool if they started to combine these features. For example, they could give discounts to those who saw a certain movie in the theater, so they could get that movie on DVD later. Or, perhaps let anyone buying tickets to a remake freely download the original version. The movie industry still seems to be missing out on the fact that movies are more of a social experience, and they should think up ways to use the content to encourage more group movie activities. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen, as the main focus seems to be on making sure they get paid for each and every movie, rather than looking at the bigger picture.

Wait on Atom

Wait on Atom 01/07/2004 04:59 PM

 

Deprecat ing RSS Part II. Lockergnome drove some traffic to my entry about Blogware's RSS support that led to some interesting comments. TheRoss in dicated that we should probably just settle on one...but didn't make it easy to pick which one¹ :)

Winston took a slightly different tack - let users choose for themselves and avoid taking a religiou s position. I'm not sure I buy this. I mean, I get the sentiment - giving users control over how things get done is never a bad thing, but I'm left wondering if, in this case, that would be akin to letting the user pick which language we write the application in. Isn't it enough to allow them to specify whether or not they would like their particular blog to offer a syndication function to their readers? RSS might be a brand, but I'm not sure that publisher-users have the same loyalty to RSS 2.0 as they would to Tide?

Dave Winer, RSS 2.0 chieftain, chimed in with a feature request indicating that he'd like to see Blogware support the "...guid, comments, pubDate, and if possible, category" in our RSS 2.0 feeds. Done, done, done and done. We've been that way since the beginning, hopefully it does make things easier for various aggregators in the way that Dave suggests.

Through the discussion it became clear that there really is no "right" answer and also that no one really seems to give a rats-ass if we continue supporting 0.91. I suppose the bigger question is whether or not we build in support for ATOM. The problem with ATOM is that "its not just about feeds anymore". To do it right, I have to rip out a whole whack of code that deals with trackbacks, remote posting and feed generation and rewrite it to suport ATOM. We could also choose to only support a subset of the spec, but I'm more inclined to wait for an answer to the question of "why?" Why should we care about ATOM?

At this point, I honestly don't think that anything is going to change. Keeping 0.91 feeds in the UI doesn't cost us anything and users aren't going apeshit with support calls because we offer them three syndication options. And as far as Atom goes, well...we'll see I suppose.

¹As an aside, I'm not sure what TheRoss means when he says "if you value RDF"...I don't tend to value technology in the way that I think he's implying I might. If they are useful to me, then I value them, but I don't think that they are sacred cows in the sense of "standards must be preserved at all costs"...this aside is turning into a post of its own...to me, RDF (RSS 1.0) is simply an open agreed upon standard very similar to the standards that have gone through the IETF process whereas RSS 2.0 is a widely used pseudo-defacto "standard" that sits on a publicly documented specification - much more similar to open source software. In both cases, as an implementor, I have the option not to comply with the details that I think I know better about. It results in a non-standard implementation, or perhaps a fork, but the dynamics and risks associated with this type of behavior are well understood by the open (code/standard) communities. In any event, my point is that open standards/code only get my respect insofar as they deserve it. The fact that we didn't create our own syndication or publication specification should serve to speak to the degree that we support the current "standards".)

Don't make me wait

Don't make me wait 03/13/2003 10:15 AM
In 1988, when I arrived for my first day of work at BYTE, I was shown to my cubicle. On the desk was an IBM AT with two megabytes of extended memory. DOS extenders were just coming into vogue, and the ultimate DOS extender -- Windows 3.0 -- was still 18 months in the future. What to do with all that extra RAM? I installed OS/2 1.0. To have a multitasking and multithreaded operating system, right on my desktop, for my own personal use, seemed an incredible luxury. There weren't any native apps yet, and the Presentation Manager GUI wasn't available, so the benefits were purely theoretical. But it was fun to imagine what the future would bring: a system that was always responsive, and would never make me wait. ...

But while Microsoft is urging upgrades as soon as possible, IT managers contacted by Techworld say they are in no hurry to install SP2, which amounts to a new operating system, they say.

The threat was considered so great that it was listed in their daily "threat matrix" and FBI director Robert Mueller was briefed. The problem? Don Fulci is a character from the video game Headhunter. | via TechDirt

Wish list: Wait for Message

Wish list: Wait for Message 06/19/2004 07:40 AM
Here's a feature I'd like in a mail client: Wait for Message (WFM). Sometimes I'm expecting a message from someone that I want to make sure doesn't get washed down the spam drain. So, I'd like to specify an address or keywords and have my mail client notify me when it arrives. After I acknowledge receipt of the message, by default it removes the search string from the WFM list. This is like a white list that plays favorites. I tried building this in VBA for Outlook but succeeded only in creating a time-space loop that dims lights all across...

After spending 2 years in Canada, they returned, and i asked one of the team members how the Canadian coders designed this powerful and complex system.

I posted this comment a few weeks ago, but i never clarified what i thought of this quotation - until now...

Let's say you learnt a subject really well, and were asked to teach others. You enjoy teaching and others admire your teaching style. Then one day, you throw away all your notes and teach off-the-cuff, from memory. You have to really know your stuff before you'd dare do that.

We'll that's what I think George Carrette meant by "Just Hack". If you don't know your stuff inside-out, upside-down and every-which-way, "Just Hack" is probably not for you.
