Amazon wish list mysteries

Amazon wish list mysteries 01/07/2004 05:43 PM
I checked my Amazon wish list the other day and discovered that lots of items have been purchased but I haven't received them. Have they been sent to me? Or have people ordered items for themselves off my wish list? Who knows?

While I love the wish list feature, I wish it worked better. Whenever an item is ordered from my wish list, whether it's sent to me or to someone else, it's flagged as purchased, meaning that to future list browsers it looks like I've already received it. But in some cases, I haven't. So I have to delete the item from my wish list and add it again so that it won't appear purchased.

Problem #2 is Amazon's privacy policy, which is so strict that I cannot get any information about these purchases, not even vague info like, "did the items get shipped to any of the addresses associated with my account?" So now I don't know if a) someone sent me something that never arrived, or b) bought something for his/herself off my list. While I understand the need for a stern policy, it seems a bit extreme.

I would like to see Amazon re-evaluate the wish list feature (and privacy policy) with some additional scenarios:

• An item is bought from my wish list but not shipped to any of my wish list addresses
• An item is purchased by a "stranger" for another "stranger"

In the first instance, it would be nice if the item didn't get flagged as purchased. The "stranger" instance is trickier. It appears that Amazon assumes a certain level of communication between giver and receiver, so that if a gift is sent but not acknowledged, the giver will be alerted that something is amiss and can rectify the situation. But in the 21st century gift economy/weblog world, that's not always the situation. Someone who I don't know could very well send me something. I, not knowing to expect a gift, do nothing when I don't receive it. The giver, hearing nothing from me in response (either through email or via a message on my site), assumes I'm a total ingrate jerk face, turns bitter, and stops reading my site. But I'm not an ingrate jerk face! I don't want to be an ingrate jerk face!

So to get to the bottom of this mystery the only way I know how, here's a list of the MIA wish list items:

• Invisible Frontier: Exploring the Tunnels, Ruins, and Rooftops of Hidden New York by L.B. Deyo
• Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt
• New Ideas from Dead Economists: An Introduction to Modern Economic Thought by Todd G. Buchholz
• Deep Play by Diane Ackerman
• Word Freak: Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius, and Obsession in the World of Competitive Scrabble Players by Stefan Fatsis
• The Cook and the Gardener: A Year of Recipes and Writings for the French Countryside by Amanda Hesser
• The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup: My Encounters with Extraordinary People by Susan Orlean

If you bought any of the following items for me (and it wasn't really recent as a Christmas present that maybe just hasn't arrived), could you please contact Amazon and tell them the package never arrived? And let me know as well. Thanks.

When Microsoft finally closed the door on its previous licensing structure and opened another one on a new pricing scheme, the move represented a significant change in how Microsoft sells software. Traditionally, companies paid a one-time licensing fee. Now, businesses must pay regular installments in exchange for the privilege of performing regular upgrades.

Mobile webcasting with Helix

Mobile webcasting with Helix 12/19/2004 03:00 PM

When I began the investigation I'm documenting in this series of columns, one of my aims was to learn how to work with live audio or video streams. Since I'm particularly interested in solutions that anyone can use, I started with a pair of free products from Apple: Darwin Streaming Server (DSS) and QuickTime Broadcaster. Using this combination, I was able to take an audio/video stream from the iSight camera on my TiBook, bounce it off DSS, and receive it in the QuickTime player. When I moved DSS to an internet-visible server, my TiBook became a mobile webcam. From any WiFi-connected location, even behind a NAT or firewall, I could broadcast live to the world. My upstream bandwidth limits this capability to a handful of streams, but it works. Sure, webcams have been around forever, but if you've never set one up for yourself--and I hadn't--you'll still be amazed that it's possible to create global telepresence in this way. The mobile aspect adds a new and, to be honest, slightly scary dimension. Pointed inward, the iSight camera I use while sitting in Starbucks is a videochat tool. Pointed outward, it can produce live television.

From DSS, I moved on to the Helix DNA Server, the open source version of RealNetworks' commercial media server. Helix handles QuickTime streams in the same way that DSS does and also--naturally--supports Real streams, so it multiplied my mobile webcasting options. I could stream from the iSight on my Mac or from my Logitech camera attached to a Windows or Linux laptop. [Full story at O'Reilly Network]

While we try not to keep it too geeky here, because that would be the easiest way to expose what a fraud I am bore you, this little script from John Muehlhausen is too useful to pass over. It lets you, with a tiny bit of Python wrangling, add Iridium paging failover to compliment your existing pager, meaning you'll have pager service anywhere in the world without cresting the 150 page-a-month limit of Iridium-only service.

Of course, you would have to wear two pagers and look sort of dorky, but if you're already telling your computer to page you via a Python script you're probably well past the gadget dork threshold (and good on you).

Oh, and it's not limited to Iridium, either, so you could tweak to support a second terrestrial pager, so that if a message never makes it to the first pager, a second person could be contacted. SNPP is useful stuff.
