Steve Rubel just sent me a note to point at this post on the WeatherBug blog: The main reason the Yahoo API story grabbed my attention is because I have always thought about creating a developers API for WeatherBug. There are so many applications that can be developed with WeatherBug data, but there is no way that we have enough time and resources to develop them all on our own. So, why not give developers out there a chance to...

Nearly 100,000 people die in U.S. hospitals each year due to diagnostic errors, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. After his friend's 21-year-old son died in an emergency room as a result of a misdiagnosis, Michigan pharmacologist Dr. Joel C. Robertson resolved to create a technology product that might prevent similar tragedies by helping doctors to more quickly and accurately assess a patient's condition.

Using The Google Web APIs With PHP

Using The Google Web APIs With PHP 07/18/2002 11:26 AM
Unless you've been living in a cave for the past couple of years, you already know what Google is. In fact, if you're anything like most Webheads, you've probably used it in the last sixty minutes. With its unique indexing technology and huge database of Web pages, Google has rapidly become the best search engine on the Web, bar none - and the company's constant innovation promises to keep them ahead of the pack for a while longer.

Easily one of the most interesting things to emerge from Google HQ in recent months has to be the Google Web APIs, which allow developers to query the complete Google database using a series of SOAP-based remote procedure calls. By making a portion of Google's cutting-edge technology available to the public, the Google Web APIs allow developers to get ever more creative with their Web-based applications, and enable them to push the envelope with new XML-based applications.

"btn" Perfect timing. The two showboats for web services, Amazon and Google together.

Jonas goes off.......

MT 3.0 Is Not A Feature Release.

Says Mena Trott:

Movable Type 3.0 is not intended to be a feature release

and asks “Where’s the beef”.

Mena mentions a few, but here’s my beef. And the ultimate reason I switched.

No modern publishing system should be without hierarchical categories and threaded comments. Especially larger installation really gain from a bit more structure. Of course, both solutions are available as plugins, requiring patching of the core and more, to work. But a version leap from one major to another should really, if not new features, include an adaption to the times and uses of the product.

Which brings us to #2. Out of the box, MT is a capable but bland content management system. Its real power comes from third party plugins, which are – of course – supported by a stable and powerful API. Six Apart seems to know this, MT 3.0 got a major overhaul of the underlying API structures, yet this is only the first step. Without assurance that plugins will continue to work in upcoming versions, reluctance is the way to go. And, knowing that Movable Type’s vast repository of third party plugins and addons are the real value, why does Six Apart not provide versioning and through the web installation? There’s a third party app to do this, but … well, QED.

I understand that the requirements of a corporation are different from small one, two-person software development houses. I understand the need to control communications, and I even understand the reluctance to accept external input. But, as great outfits such as the Zope Corporation, have shown us, community involvement and corporate restraints are not necessarily exclusive, and almost always profitable when used together.

In terms of extensibility to the engine, the main “feature” of Movable Type 3.0 is actually more powerful than any feature we could have added: it’s the extensibility that we’ve added in the form of the enhanced plugin architecture. The plugin/developer community is one of Movable Type’s greatest strengths. Since Movable Type isn’t open source, this has been the way in which our users have contributed to the product while relying on Six Apart to provide the strong foundation for their work to flourish.

Tying in to my comments two paragraphs above, this is Mena’s take on the fact that, indeed, Movable Type’s strength lies not within the base product but in a dedicated community. The logical next step would be to support such efforts, not to take them for granted. The “vibe” seems to suggest otherwise, but I’ll stand corrected if someone cares to.

Movable Type’s competition has grown in numbers and maturity. WordPress and Drupal exceed MTs initial out-of-the-box user experience by far, and even surpass it in ease of installation. TextPattern continues to grow and become a serious contender, the ASP based weblogging community has recently released some rather compelling new versions, also. Each system has – in record time – assembled a fan base and community not unlike MTs. The differentiator can be found in features, support, and quick responses to the “challenge of the day” issues, every system faces. With 3.0, I see Movable Type missing the boat, and being a lousy swimmer, I chose a new captain.

There’s one last issue. I was and am reluctant to mention it. It’s something more personal. As someone who has tattoos and has seen others, I have learned one very valuable lesson – never let someone tattoo you who has no tattoos of his or her own. Aside from Anil Dash’s writings and Mena’s infrequent postings on behalf of Six Apart, very little dogfood seems to be consumed over at the Movable Type camp. In contrast, the weblogs of WordPress developer Matthew Mullenweg or the vast numbers of Drupal developer weblogs instill the confidence I seek. Eat your own dogfood, and your credibility rises enormously in my book.

The state of wiki APIs

The state of wiki APIs 05/16/2004 02:58 PM
Dave Johnson wonders about the Wiki APIs. Being the author of the JSPWiki:W ikiRPCInterface, I concur. XML-RPC pretty much is finished for me as an API standard, and I don't think I will be developing the V2 of the standard onwards.

However, I like Atom. I like Atom a lot. Consider this official: JSPWiki will support both the Atom blog and Atom Wiki APIs. I believe that Atom holds the future instead of XML-RPC. It has the advantage of being designed properly (no timezone hassles, no UTF-8 issues, proper built-in authentication), after all.

We should just remember the lessons we learned with that API: the importance of backlinks, the forward link lists, proper search API, authentication (Atom solves all of my issues by using WSSE, yay!), the ability to handle attachments, introspection, versioning support, and metadata. Most of these vary from Wiki to Wiki.

There is also the issue of the varying markup between Wikis, but I don't think that is such a big issue, API-wise. What we should do is to define a generic WikiMarkup?, a variant of XHTML preferably, which is never seen by the user. It's just used to transfer data from a WYSIWYG editor to a WikiEngine?, which then does the transformation to the local markup. Or something.

Big WLAN on Campus

Big WLAN on Campus 01/06/2005 03:14 PM
Colleges are the bleeding edge of WLAN technology: I wrote this piece for Mobile Pipeline (my first for them) which started out as a more general best practices article for giant WLANs, and morphed into an article about college WLANs. Why? As I explain in the story, giant WLAN enterprises don't want to talk on or off the record about what they're doing. Academic institutions are happy to oblige. Schools also have the disadvantage of having to support many, many generations of equipment and operating systems. You can't tell a professor to take a flying leap, and some schools may still have five-year-old laptops and desktops that still have to be integrated. It's clear that 802.1X is the next big trend for both schools and enterprises. It solves many problems while adding tremendous policy flexibility. Using 802.1X and L2TP means that you can have smaller VLANs that are segregated by policy, group, or even randomly to balance users among VLANs....

More Voice Over WLAN Deals

More Voice Over WLAN Deals 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
Alcatel and Nortel are both promoting voice over WLAN systems by reselling WLAN equipment from Airespace and handsets from SpectraLink: Cisco started selling voice over WLAN handsets last year and ironically it appears that move is actually good news for SpectraLink, which has been making such phones for many years. That's because Cisco competitors like Alcatel and Nortel need to sell voice over WLAN systems to customers but certainly won't sell Cisco phones. Instead they'll use SpectraLink's. This story included some interesting figures form Forrester Research about WLANs. The study found that 20 percent of companies have or are in the process of building WLANs. About 15 percent of companies said they had completed or were in the process of rolling out voice over IP systems, but the story doesn't distinguish if that refers to voice over WLANs or voice on regular wired phones. I suspect that the companies that have deployed voice over WLANs are concentrated in certain market segments like factories or warehouses. It's likely that there are few companies in standard offices using voice over WLAN as the benefits are less clear and because building a WLAN to support voice is a more challenging proposition than constructing a WLAN just for data....

Interesting Take on Voice Over WLAN

Interesting Take on Voice Over WLAN 02/19/2004 12:43 PM
Radioframe is touting its indoor GSM system as better than voice over WLAN: Radioframe sells a platform that extends cellular coverage inside an office building and connects to the office PBX so companies can use their cell phones inside the building. When users are in the building, minutes are cheaper than outside on the wide area cell network. The company's CEO argues that even though usage of the WLAN in the building doesn't cost, the handsets are so much more expensive than cell phones that it makes more sense to use a system like Radioframe's. I did a story a while back on voice over WLAN and found that the handsets cost around the same as standard wired office phones. So the difference could come down to a decision about whether a cell phone offers the same features and functionalities that workers typically want on their phones in the office. Plus, the Radioframe CEO didn't discuss how the costs of deploying and maintaining its network compares to deploying and maintaining a standard WLAN....

Found this rather neat article on The Register, infact, it was something I was discussing with a bunch of friends at college last week! Nice to know we are being heard.

Car makers BMW, Audi, Daimler Chrysler, Volkswagen, Renault and Fiat have won a German government grant to help develop the basis for a standard method for car-to-car wireless data.

NOW is focusing on 802.11 technology and IPv6 to develop "inter-vehicle communication based on ad hoc networking principles". Essentially, it's exploring ways that moving vehicles can automatically set up temporary links with other cars, bikes and trucks in the vicinity, and share traffic information.

With routing capabilities, the whole thing could become a huge 'automobile Internet', with vehicles warning each other - and their drivers - about slow-downs, bad weather, accidents and other road problems.

On a personal note, I really can't even begin to imagine the possibilities here, a road traffic innovation, chat/P2P/file sharing heaven on the roads, or a big headache for the RIAA/MPAA/BSA? It could definitely be all of the above! One thing is for sure, you'll never get bored in traffic anymore.

In its first release, the software allows firm-wide support for a network name (SSID) and WEP key; this version is expected next quarter. WEP keys can be changed remotely by an IT manager. A later release will handle WPA and directly allow 802.1X authentication of users to iPass's system, which allows dynamic WEP or WPA keys to be assigned. In a briefing, iPass said that this extension to their service is in direct response to customer requests that would allow a single package with a single graphical interface and login to manage the entire wireless experience. iPass will offer this service as with its current offerings, direct to large firms and through resellers to other companies....

This is a pretty classic company development: customers certainly told them about the gaps in the line-up from all vendors, and ReefEdge moved to fill them. I hear from small offices all the time looking for devices that have enterprise-scale features but without the enterprise-scale price tag because their per-user cost would be 10 or 20 times the enterprise's due to a lack of economy of scale....
