04/20/2004 11:26 PMIn 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.

Mark Frauenfelder:
Management guru Tom Peters has written something called "60 Tom's
TIB," (This I Believe) available for download as a PDF. On his
Brianstorms Weblog, Brian Dear highlights this interesting excerpt
about prioritizing from the Peters document:
I once watched a highly energetic chief ripped asunder by
a senior member of his board. “Richard,” the determined
board member almost shouted, “you are smart, energetic, creative
to a fault, perhaps even a genius. But much of your 'genius' is
dissipated because you apply it to ten different things at a time,
albeit with great skill.
“Let me tell you what you need,” he concluded. “A
'to don't' list.”
I don't know about “Richard,” but for me that was a
profound moment. Fact No. 1: We all have 50 genuine priorities. Fact
No. 2: If we get even two Big Things Done in a six-year tenure on the
current job, we will have had a...Great Ride. Axiom No. 1: Therefore,
what we choose not to do (the sole subject of that “To
Don't” list) is at least as important, or more important, as
what we choose to do.
And, finally, effective “To Don't-ing” is far, far more
difficult than effective “To Do-ing.”

A List Apart Again
A List Apart Again
10/29/2003 12:12 AMA List Apart has unveiled
the long awaited redesign, and is celebrating it's third manifestation
with three brand new articles.
The redesign is currently being discussed on Webdesign-L, and the general
consensus is that it's a bit of a disappointment. I agree; while a
perfectly servicable and attractive design to me it gives off the air
of a well designed weblog rather than a cutting edge web design and
development magazine.
Of the three new articles, the best by far is Doug Bowman's Sliding Doors
of CSS, which describes in great detail how multiple background
images applied to nested elements can be used to create a set of
elegant, size-expandable tabs. Multiple nested backgrounds are not a
new idea, but I haven't seen Doug's technique of creating a narrow
image for the left hand side which overlaps a much larger right hand
image before. I'm sure we're going to see a lot of interesting
variations on this in the next few months.
Joe Clark's Facts
and Opinion About Fahrner Image Replacement confirms the now
widely accepted fact that display: none;
hides content from screen readers, rendering the Fahrner Image
Replacement technique obsolete. According to the
author, the article was completed some time ago and thus does not
cover more recent innovations in the field of image replacement, such
as the Leahy / Langridge hack.
The third article, Random Image
Rotation, introduces a simple PHP script for randomly serving up an image
from a directory. I've always found the server side development
material on ALA relatively
uninspiring, but I guess this is because the target audience of the
site is more designers than developers.
It's worth mentioning that the site's information architecture has
been completely redone, making it far easier to dig through the
excellent material in the archives. All in all it's great to see the
site back again, and I look forward to reading new material as it
arrives.

- Here’s Refer
2.1
- Q. How do you spot an extroverted Norwegian?
A. He’s staring at your shoes.
- As of right now, I owe email to 7,512 people.
- We got pipes.
As of 6:40pm last Thursday, after two years trying a hundred
combinations of hardware and software, learning far more than
I’d ever hoped about satellite VPNs and bridging Windows network
devices, throwing good money after bad, we have a broadband internet
connection out here in the sticks. It’s about a third the speed
of DSL, and it caps out at six downloadable
gigabytes per month, but it works.
For a number of reasons I didn’t buy a Dell
after all, the foremost of which is, after writing on this site that I
was getting a Dell, a number of helpful and detailed emails
came in saying, essentially, you’ll regret it. Then
there was another email touting Dell’s pricing strategy as
evidence of the genius of the free market in the face of unions and
Stalinism. Meh.
These likeable nebbishim
down the road in Ganges were able to come close to Dell’s best
offer for a basic setup. I’m far happier driving the box over
there to see something fixed than being routed through a support call
centre in Bangalore (nothing against the people of India, or the
people of Norway for that matter). The guy who owns the place in
Ganges actually lives here in Pompignan, not that I would ever
consider abusing that proximity by phoning at dinner time to get a bum
keyboard replaced like I did the other night.
So I am now, for the first time ever, a paid-up licensee of the
leading-edge web-ready enterprise computing platform Microsoft
Windows.
I always knew Windows was homely, in a worn-down industrial
carpeting kind of way, but had no clue just how fucking ugly XP is.
It’s like living inside a perpetual Powerpoint presentation,
with sham friendliness pelting down everywhere. Someone really ought
to repeatedly sky-write the word RESTRAINT
over Redmond.
And for all the talk of XP’s networking smarts, there was
nothing plug-and-play about bridging the satellite VPN to a local network. I could get the web to
work, but HTTPS would fail; FTP worked, then mail would fail.
In the end I installed a proxy server, plugged in the Airport, and the whole house
was wirelessly online in five minutes. As this could have been done
with, say, a 486 running Windows 95, I may now be owner of the
world’s most expensive PCI slot, one
whose cooling fans sound forever like a 747 taxiing for takeoff.
But we got pipes.

CMS Wish List
06/19/2004 01:28 PMDaniel asked me to
put together a list of Content Management System (CMS) wishes that I
would have for any system. I recently read that CMS will be a $7
billion industry next year. WOW. I guess that makes sense since so
much information is created these days.
So here they are:
- Multiuser - allow multiple editors to submit
content
- Simple - People don't understand web publishing,
HTML or file structures. Most tools don't hide this very well. People
do associate buttons and links on a page with other pages. Somehow,
creating a link or a button on a page should create the target for it
automatically
- No framework or server required - There are
many open source CMSs out there, but most rely on an underlying
framework to run. I want to download an installer, install it and go.
Not download PHP, secure it properly, then try and get the CMS
working. Radio is a great example of this.
- File Upload - The browser based upload
functionality is garbage. No status, breaks often and you can't cancel
an upload. Also, once the file is uploaded, a user needs to know how
to create a link to it. I'd prefer a UI which has a file library that
I can drag and drop a link from the library to the document I'm in and
the link is created.
- Full text search - I neeed to find the content I
enter. I have google configured to allow users to search my site.
Something this simple is great, however, I had to create a button and
search form to make it work. Joe & Jane user can't do
this.
More later I have to go do some chores :)

Steve
Kirks: "Kleenex has become interchangeable with tissue and now RSS
has done the same with syndicated content. Now, we can move on to the
next step: doing something great with the tools available."
I had a similar thought this morning as I checked the new posts
on the Atom-Syntax list<
/a>, and reading the Scripting News archive from one
year ago, when the flamefest that launched Atom was still raging. I
was reminded of the student strikes we'd do in the late 60s and early
70s. First have an organizing meeting with the steering committee,
print up the leaflets, hand them out, march somewhere, sit-in the
lobby of the school, maybe get on TV, whatever, and then what? They
were great affairs while we were expressing our outrage, but in the
end, we had to go back to school, get good grades, get accepted at
good colleges, etc etc. We possibly helped end the war sooner, in some
way (although the right-wingers said we did the opposite). It
certainly was a lot more fun than sitting in a classroom, getting good
grades, etc. We used to joke that we didn't do too many strikes in the
winter, mostly they were in April and May when the weather was too
good to be caught up inside a classroom.
Anyway, seeing the list of formats that Apple supports, RSS
0.91, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, I sighed on behalf of Atom and poor
not-respected-by-geeks RSS. Reminds me of what my doctor said when I
showed up for an annual checkup five pounds heavier than the year
before. I shrugged it off, not too bad I said. She said "But you're
going in the wrong direction." Sure, people say that it doesn't matter
how many formats there are, but it actually does matter, even
for users, as I've said repeatedly, every new format is another brick
in the wall of Barrier To Entry, and that means less choice, but it
also might make it harder for efforts that build on RSS to get
started. I'll give you an example.
Yesterday, I got a note
about a great BitTorrent-with-RSS application. I saw the URL to the
feed, and groaned. It's RDF. Now, all the BT+RSS apps have been built
around RSS 2.0
because it has the enclosure element, and we'd never, as far as I know,
anticipated that the RSS confusion would creep into this space. I
looked at the file to see how they did it, and whoa, it's a 2.0 file,
even though on the outside it says it's RDF. Once you combine RSS with
other things, which definitely should be happening more, you add
another dimension with the two other flavors. Instead of having to do
something once, you have to do it three times. And that's more than
three times the trouble, which makes it less than one-third as likely
to happen. Imagine going to the BitTorrent people with that problem.
"Call us back when you make your mind up," they might reasonably
say.
Anyway, when it's all said and done, there will be another
flavor of RSS, another name on the list, more work to do, not too bad.
If my doctor were here she'd say "But you're going in the wrong
direction."

04/05/2005 06:34 AMList-u-Like CSS Generatorhttp://www.listulike.com/Most web-developers agree that using lists for navigation is a
good idea, and styling a simple navbar is pretty easy. Yet as designs
get more sophisticated, and browser-quirks multiply like coat hangers,
the CSS involved can soon get rather complicated. But what if you had
a tool that gave you detailed control over the appearance of a
navigation list, and took account of browser variations itself - so
that all you had to do was design it, and the exact CSS would be
written for you..? Well now you do .... this generator program creates
custom CSS for styling unorderded-lists as navigation bars, according
to your design. To use the generated CSS simply paste it into your
style sheet, then add the relevant class name to your list. That's the
basics, but the program itself has quite a few options :-) The rest of
the documentation looks at each option in detail, has articles
covering aspects of design and implementation in more depth, and a
selection of links to relevant external resources. This has been added
