Customer demand for a ubiquitous
InfoPath runtime

Customer demand for a ubiquitous
InfoPath runtime 04/09/2004 03:56 PM
The last time I asked Microsoft why there's no plan to make the InfoPath runtime ubiquitous, the answer I got was: "We don't hear customers asking for it." Well, I do. Here's a typical rant from one customer who, because his company has a relationship with Microsoft that he doesn't want to jeopardize, asked me to anonymize his comments:

I believe a primary requirement of a forms application is to make it possible for the form to be completed by a wide audience of people from whom I wish to gather data. A key driver, at least in the world of my customers, is to be able to distribute the form widely to people who aren't necessarily connected to the network and get them to fill it in and return it. I don't want to authenticate these people in my network. They won't install software on their computers just to fill out my form. They don't want to learn a new application.

It seems InfoPath has completely ignored the question of how the form will actually be filled in by the responder. There is no free viewer as there is with Adobe Acrobat. There is no ability to save the form template as an ASP.NET web form. It appears that Microsoft expects everyone to purchase a full copy of InfoPath--the complete form design application--just so they can fill out a form. They can't possibly believe the product will gain any traction with this licensing and deployment model, can they? [1] What are they thinking? [2]

So my main question is, is there any way to deploy InfoPath forms without putting full InfoPath on every desktop? [3] Do you know whether Microsoft understands this issue and are planning anything to address it? [4] The two applications that are widely available on everyone's desktop are a web browser and Adobe Acrobat, and it seems like it would be a good idea for InfoPath to support forms deployment via one of those means. Am I missing something here? [5]

This document describes how a PHP opcode cache works.

The most interesting part of the PDF is that it describes the horrible way that the Zend Engine generates opcodes for double-quoted strings. It's so strange that one wonders whether PHP4 was intentionally crippled...conspiracy theories, anyone?

"Freedom of speech does not exist, don't try to test it." Anarchist web portals Infoshop.org and flag.blackened.net are under investigation by the FBI. While site operators are under gag order and cannot discuss the specifics of the situation that prompted this action, they confirm that logged IPs have been handed over under threat of arrest and seizure. This is eerily familiar. Just how slippery has this particular slope become?

Nick Berg Tops Searches, but Why?

Nick Berg Tops Searches, but Why? 05/14/2004 12:20 PM

Glenn Reynolds notes that searches relating to Nick Berg top the charts at the major search engines, and attributes this to the public cares more about this murder from a news perspective than about U.S. actions in Iraq. Maybe, but maybe not. What if the big number of searches reflect something uglier than people seeking "news" or information. What if this is about a more raw desire, to see the butchery in full just because it's there? The mainstream U.S. media declined to broadcast the actual beheading, and properly so, in my view. But anyone who wants to see it can find it online. I'm one of the people who did the search. I wanted to see how far and wide the video of this man's grotesque death had spread. I learned, to my sadness, that it's incredibly easy to find. This is already a blood-soaked culture, where Hollywood routinely sells movies full of realistic, made-up gore. Maybe we've created a climate where the only thrill that can top movie violence is a genuine snuff film, like the one those foul criminals in Iraq sent out to the world. How many of those searches were done by people who, rather than wanting more truth, more information, were just hunting for the sick thrill of watching death for real?

Nick Graydos responded to my response:

Marc res ponded to my post last week about Digital Life Recorders and Digital Lifestyle Aggregators.

He brings up some interesting points about:

• usability


• backup


• situated software


• social interfaces

This is a tall order for any piece of software.

The key is in the word aggregators - note that the word is plural with an "s." 

We'll be using many services or pieces of software that are working in unison to provide one contiguous experience.

A current taste of this is Feedburner. It works seemlessly to bring together photos from Flickr, bookmarks from Del.icio.us and enhance my rss file. And it is simple taboot.

Of course, this will require people to work in existing technologies such as RSS, RDF, FOAF and so on to  make this cohesive whole.

The politics of standards are always the fun part.

[Nick Graydos > thynk]

So here's some clarifiation and some new thoughts:

Tell me about it. It's 95% poltiics.

Dan Brickley brought an interesting point. I hung out with Dan both in Amsterdam and then at Galway - recently. Dan pointed out that fundamentally FOAF, OpenMedia, OpenEvents, OpenReviews, etc. - are all the same technology.

That led me to say: "yes - but it's the seam at the micro-content level that's appropriate to divide them all up. Each constituency has it's own set of issues. What the media people care about or deal with - is completely different than the world of digital ID, Events or Reviews."

So that's why I've been pursuing the strategy I have - with each kind of micro-content being it's own cosmos - universe - with more or less the same technology being utilized in each.

We owe our debt of thanks to Dave Winer and RSS - and there's so much we can learn from and move forward with. Whether it's ATOM, RSS or RDF - the plumbing shouldn't matter.

It's the shit that goes through the pipes that matter. And keeping that shit structured is what counts.

Getting it all to work as a cohesive goal should be our goal.

We're ultimately competing with Apple and Microsoft on all this. If we all work together - we can stand up NEXT to them, instead of underneath them.

And as far as biting off a lot - that's what it's gonna take to solve the digital lifestyle connundrum. But that's a good thing - as it leaves lots of room for small developers to add their own module and inter-connect it together with a distributed mesh.

Here's how I described it for the Web 2.0 workshop:

A second approach to building the Web 2.0 platform from an open standards point of view – where lots of different developers can all contribute their own modules, functional blocks or components that all work together – in a meshed together decentralized environment. By establishing open standards surrounding new kinds of micro-content, the same benefits we’ve seen from RSS and aggregators (and the ‘blogosphere) - can be applied to people, events, media, reviews or listings.

Interview with PHP-Accelerator Author,
Nick Lindrige 09/05/2002 11:19 PM
After school I went to college to study computer science. It was either that or music college as I was a serious violinist/pianist too, but computing was the choice. I then stayed to do a research degree, and worked in the industry since then. I'm 36 now so have been programming for around 20 years now ! Experience is quite varied, but mostly I'm a Unix, C++/Java and now PHP programmer, although there are many other languages that I've used. I've also had periods of designing hardware, embedded systems, writing operating systems, compilers, etc.
