Sea Launch

Sea Launch 05/04/2004 11:59 PM
Sea Launch successfully put a 5-ton television satellite into orbit yesterday from a 400-foot long mobile platform in the central Pacific Ocean. It was the 12th successful launch for the firm (run by a consortium that includes Boeing and Energia), with the equatorial position in the mid-Pacific allowing the rocket to carry a heavier payload to orbit with less fuel.

Slowly but surely, spaceflight is becoming commercialized even as the U.S. has renewed efforts to militarize it.

Launch the Editor

Launch the Editor 07/20/2004 11:24 PM

Joel on Software - Fire And Motion: I just found this two-and-a-half year old essay by Joel Spolsky, and I'm frankly aghast at how aptly it describes how I code.

For me, just getting started is the only hard thing. An object at rest tends to remain at rest. There's something incredible heavy in my brain that is extremely hard to get up to speed, but once it's rolling at full speed, it takes no effort to keep it going.

It's true — there's a stunning amount of inertia in programming. Coding is often such a thought-intensive operation, that it takes a while to get into a groove.

It's not like cleaning the house, where you can just start picking stuff up and seeing an improvement right away. With coding there's a ramp-up time after you "launch the editor," as Spolsky puts it. You have to look through your code, figure out where you where at, ask yourself "why don't I just do it this way" then get 15 minutes into that before you realize that's what you were doing when you quit the last time and there's a very good reason why it won't work, etc.

It can be discouraging sometimes, especially when you don't get prolonged coding time. If you get interrupted, you lose at least three times the actual length of the interuption, because there's an inertia period on either side that you have to deal with.

DevX had a great article last year that was so true. They talked about how programmers get into a "flow":

Flow takes time to achieve, and it is fragile. If a programmer's flow is interrupted it can take a large amount of time for her to regain the state, sometimes up to an hour. That's an hour of lost productivity to your team. If a programmer is interrupted many times during the day she may never reach this state. Without this state, creativity is crippled.

Interuptions are the bane of programmer. Spolsky said this about his new offices:

I probably pay more attention to my physical surroundings than the average software developer. I might take it too seriously. But there are three reasons I take it so seriously: (1) There's a lot of evidence that the right kind of office space can improve programmer productivity, especially private offices....

(How did Spolsky become so concerned about this people? He swears by this book.)

Anyway, back to Spolsky's original essay — he concludes by with this:

[...] you have to move forward every day. Sooner or later you will win. All I managed to do yesterday is improve the color scheme in FogBUGZ just a little bit. That's OK. It's getting better all the time. Every day our software is better and better and we have more and more customers and that's all that matters. Until we're a company the size of Oracle, we don't have to think about grand strategies. We just have to come in every morning and somehow, launch the editor.

Yep — set modest daily goals, if that's what you have to do. Five small goals achieved on five separate days add up to one moderate goal at the end of the week.

I'm working on an uber-system right now, but amid everything else I have to do in the average day, I can spare maybe one hour. So I write down one small thing that I want to implement by the end of the day. One small thing, each day, equals progress at the end of the week.

MTV to introduce download program

MTV to introduce download program 04/07/2005 10:40 AM
MTV Networks plans to start a music downloading service this year that will offer subscription or single purchases through MTV.com. MTV Networks Group President Van Toffler said at a press conference in New York on Wednesday that the service won't use the MTV name. He declined to comment on the name or start date. Separately, MTV.com will unveil a new site called MTV Overdrive on April 25 that will feature music videos, movie clips, segments from MTV News and excerpts from MTV shows such as "Punk'd." MTV Overdrive is a means for its parent company, New York-based Viacom, "to capture new money going into new media," Toffler said. Users will see 15-second commercials for products interspersed throughout the video clips without the option to skip commercials.

Is There Any Company At All Who Won't

Is There Any Company At All Who Won't
Launch Their Own Music Download Store? 12/08/2003 03:33 PM
Okay, someone make it stop. Last week I mentioned HP's plans to open their own music download store and wondered if there was any tech company that wasn't planning their own music download store. Apparently, I was too narrow in my focus. Coca-Cola has announced plans to offer a music download store as well. It's beginning to feel like the "feature" that everyone wants to add. "Oh yeah, our website has a spinning logo, a store locator, search functionality, customer self-service, and, of course, our own music download store." Of course, this will be like every other download music store with silly limitations and bad pricing, but that's the way things go. It's difficult to see what benefit an outfit like Coke stands to gain. It's way (way) out of the core competency, and most of these stores have been shown to act as loss leaders for other products (like music players). I'm not sure how music becomes a loss leader for soda. I'm sure there will be many more similar announcements before some sense of sanity is reached, and companies start shutting down or merging all of these download stores into just a few entities. Having all of these separate stores with different restrictions does no good.

Microsoft Corp. next year plans to launch a music download service, going up against Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes and many other services peddling music online. Microsoft has been considering a music download service and said in July that plans were in the very early stages, if they could be called plans at all. Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates at the time said he did not see a music service as a money-making service.

Sony to Launch Music Download Service

Sony to Launch Music Download Service
for PSP 02/01/2005 09:09 PM

The Register is reporting that Sony will be launching a new music service specifically for its PSP portable gaming system. The new download service is supposed to be in place by March here to coincide with the launch of Sony's player. Tony Smith speculates that the service, once in place, could just as easily be used to push video content down to the device, which doesn't have a hard drive, but can accept flash MemoryStick in 1-2GB sizes—plenty big for a couple of movies.

I think if Sony's got a shot at the iPod, the PSP is it—it can do almost everything you'd want to do while on the road, including productivity stuff (if they release a keyboard).
