05/07/2004 01:29 PMProvisioning is the practice of seeing that a new employee has
everything they need on their first day of work, and - equally
important - that all access is removed after their last day with the
organization. Electronic provisioning has been around for 5 or 6
years, but was dominated by small, start-up, single-purpose vendors
such as Business Layers, Waveset, Access360 and others. Just recently,
major players, such as Sun, HP and IBM, have been acquiring these
single-purpose vendors while others, including Novell and Oblix, have
devised homegrown provisioning tools. Microsoft's entry into this
space is based on using the recently introduced Microsoft Identity
Integration Server.

05/25/2004 11:30 PMMicrosoft Corp., together with six of the industry's leading identity
management vendors, today previewed interoperable federated identity
management solutions based on the Web services architecture (WS-*).
Software companies IBM Corp., Netegrity Inc., Oblix Inc., OpenNetwork
Technologies, Ping Identity Corp., RSA Security Inc. and Microsoft
have successfully concluded work demonstrating how their identity
management technologies interoperate using the Web Services Federation
(WS-Federation) specification, part of the WS Security set of
specifications. In his Tech•Ed keynote address today, Andrew Lees,
corporate vice president for Server and Tools Marketing at Microsoft,
showed how federated identity management based on WS-Federation and
the WS-* architecture will simplify the work of IT professionals as
they seek to cut the cost and complexity of passing identity
credentials across security and organization boundaries in a Web
services environment.
Colour Schemes
Colour Schemes
05/14/2004 03:13 PMA designer's 'style' is made up of a number of
different factors, though colour plays a large role. Everyone has
their own method of coming up with a good colour scheme, which will
inevitably affect the results.
Technical
A 'technical' method of colour-selection involves choosing one or
two dominant colours from the colour wheel, to be used with a small
set of complementary colours. Basic
colour theory concepts like split complementary and triadic colour
schemes offer a wide range of variation, particularly when you start
throwing in shades, tints, and saturation adjustments.
Pro: An easy way to start with good, workable
colour. Con: being too technical can lead to dull and
uninspired colour choice.
Matching
Matching involves starting with an image or an object (usually a
photograph) and picking colours from within to generate a colour
scheme. Boxes and Arrows ran a great article a while ago about selecting colours from
nature.
Pro: Naturalistic, familiar-feeling colour schemes
that appeal. Con: it's easy to select the
wrong colours from a photo.
Intuition
Probably my most frequently-used method. I begin with a blank
canvas and fill it with whatever colours seem appropriate. Naturally
my mind computes the corresponding compliementary and similar colours
on the fly, but now and then I'll ignore solid colour theory just to
see where it gets me. Hence this site's colour scheme, among
others.
Pro: Fresh and surprising colour schemes.
Con: dangerous without a solid knowledge of colour
theory. Dangerous even with.
These are a few of my own methods, and what influences my design
sensibility. Others will differ, of course. Tell me about your own
methods, comments are open.
Spam Pyramid Schemes
Spam Pyramid Schemes
04/12/2004 07:33 PMIt's a bit depressing to see the details of how a spamming operation
works. This article describes a
spamming pyramid scheme where people are recruited by spam to
sign up to spam others to recruit them to spam, and so on. It's a
typical pyramid scheme with a spam twist. What's actually happening
is that they're signing up the same set of gullible folks over and
over again, and everyone else getting spammed is collateral damage.
The article finds a few people down the pyramid who complain about not
getting a single response out of the millions of email they send out.
What's scary about the article is that those who fall for it don't
seem to question anything that they're told. They're told that the
millions of email addresses they receive are "opt-in" so they assume
it must be legal. They're given the chance (for an extra fee, of
course) to send out spam messages via proxy, and never question why
they might need to do that. There is one guy (who didn't receive any
responses to his spam messages) who begins to realize that this is all
a scam when it occurs to him that the folks running the top of the
pyramid change the name of their company every month or so, and it
dawns on him that people who opt-out of one company aren't considered
opted-out of any other. The really scary quote, though, comes from
one woman who didn't make any money on the last pyramid scheme, but is
joining up with a new one: "I have tried multilevel marketing as far
back as the 1970s, but I've never made any money on it," she said.
"But if everybody did what they agreed to do, I would be very
wealthy." That's right, blame those people you're bugging for not
signing up.

MT backup/restores and broken permalink
naming schemes
MT backup/restores and broken permalink
naming schemes
01/07/2004 05:24 PMI've had to deal with weblog backups and restores, and I'll tell
ya, it isn't pretty. It is a problem that can be prevented. I'll
explain.
This weekend, I converted my blog from MT 2.21 to 2.65, and in the
meantime, I moved over to a SQL backend for the blog. Basically, I'm
using a more robust database to hold all of the information on the
weblog. In order to do this, I had to do something that most hope
they never have to do: A backup and restore. A backup to save my old
data, and a restore to seed the new database.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the conversion of the blog to MT 2.65
and to the MySQL backend. I mean, it worked, first time around. No
lost data. That isn't always the case with more general backup
solutions, like Norton or Macafee. There were some problems, however.
The most glaring is around permalinks. For some reason, the MT
permalink scheme is the following:
http://BLOGURL/archives/ENTRY_ID.html
For example, the permalink for this post is
http://www.sif
ry.com/alerts/archives/000321.html, given that this is ENTRY_ID #
321. Everything is honky dory as long as I'm internally consistent.
Therein lies the problem.
When I upgraded the weblog to use a new storage subsystem, I
exported all of my entries to a big text file (as MT suggests), but
the ENTRY_IDs are not exported. So, when I re-imported the entries
into my new shiny blog implementation, all of the ENTRY_IDs were
different.
This meant that all my permalinks were broken, and people pointing
to the site were now pointing to broken or incorrect URLs. Grrr,
that's bad design.
There are two ways to avoid this problem: The first is, to use a
more natural permalink methodology, like date and time, for example.
these are invarient no matter what kind of storage system I use.
Gotta hand it to Dave Winer and the folks at Userland, that's how they
handle permalinks by default, and it is a smart (and intuatively
informative) permalink method. You can actually tell from the URL
when something was posted.
The other way to do it is to actually store the ENTRY_ID inside the
blog export, so that the correct ID can be added to the database
during the import. This is probably the simplest to implement within
the MT framework.
In the end, I did neither to fix the problem. Fortunately, I saved
the archives from the old weblog, and wrote a script to go through the
weblog posts one by one, find out the mapping between the old ENTRY_ID
and the new one, and then automatically make the changes to the SQL
database - remember, I told you there was a reason to use a more
robust database, scriptability is one of those reasons. It is pretty
raw, but if you have the same problem, you can reuse my script to convert your MT
blog as well. Run it from within a directory containing all of your
old archives in the following way:
$ for i in `ls -1r 0*.html`; do perl convertblog.pl $i; done
That should convert all but the most stubborn entries, which you can
do by hand. Make sure to edit the script with your own information -
it should be pretty self-documenting.
One thing that you may need to do beforehand: If there is overlap
between your old blog ENTRY_IDs and new blog ENTRY_IDs, you should
probably do a little trick on the database before you import your
backup file. Do the following from mysql:
mysql> insert into mt_entry (entry_id) VALUES (30000);
That'll put all of your backup files into the database starting at
ENTRY_ID 30000, which should be high enough to not conflict. When
you're done, you shouldn't have any entries above 30000, if the
conversion went successfully.
Good luck - and Ben, if you're reading this, prehaps adding
ENTRY_ID to the export and import process would be useful - it would
certainly prevent all of this hassle.

Internet Gift Economies: Voluntary

Internet Gift Economies: Voluntary Payment Schemes as Tangible
Reciprocity by Kylie J. Veale
The Internet today is a mix
of the ‘free and the fee’, though it still remains in part a gift
economy. Personal and organisational sharing of free information,
products and software continues to flourish as a circle of gifts for
returned intangible reward. Though a perceived lack of these rewards,
due in part to an inability to quantify them, has resulted in givers
seeking more for their efforts. What are their revised motivations?
What now are their rewards?
Confronted with this
development, I suggest their rewards are voluntary payments as forms
of tangible reciprocity. This paper therefore outlines the Internet as
a gift economy. It suggests a conceptual path through gift economy
principles to reveal voluntary payments as tangible reciprocity. It
also documents an analysis of voluntary payment schemes as evidence of
operationalising tangible reciprocity. I also introduce monetary,
content and purpose gifting mechanisms as tangible reciprocity.
