Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work 11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

The Manglefreuzer Switch

The Manglefreuzer Switch 08/11/2004 11:40 AM

For everyone who has ever struggled with interm ittent problems, the truth has finally l eaked out.

...there's always the chance the mangelfreuzer switch will trip - which would be a problem."

"What's a manglef.. r."

"Manglefreuzer - as in Mangle-Froy-TSir. It's a switch or other device that hardware manufacturers put into their equipment to detect unuathorised access to a box - and makes the system act strangely."

"Strangely?"

"Yes, you know, the odd memory error, harddisk write error, machine crashes, etc. To encourage you not to tamper with the box. And generate revenue for the maintenance provider of course."

"Are you serious?!"

"Of course. Some of our major outages have been those exact same problems."

"You mean they're all caused by a manglefreuzer?"

"Some of them, yes. Obviously no sane vendor would build in something which could be conclusively linked as the source of a problem, so they make the outages sporadic and hard to track down..."

"And people know about this?"

"Technical people, yes."

"And you're ok with that?"

"We don't really have that much choice in the matter, do we? Anyway all the vendors do it - and not just in computers."

And all this time I've been blaming the problems on interference from low-flying cloaked alien spacecraft. Those PC-building dirtballs!

Flip-switch day

Flip-switch day 11/16/2003 08:29 PM

Lots of changes today, but ones with (Murphy-willing) very small impact on the user interface. In fact, unless they don't work, you shouldn't see any difference at all. Since this is Scripting News, and not Knitting News, we'll go ahead and say which switches got flipped.

First, www.scripting.com now resides on the east coast instead of the west. The new Monster servers, the 3GHz meat-eaters that climb skyscrapers, are now both managing the content and doing the serving for everything on scripting.com.

The picture of King Kong to the right will appear when the new server is visible through DNS to your browser. If you see a broken image and want to see what the picture looks like just click on it.

Second, a big change in the way the outliner works. We used to have to tell it how to format a day of weblog posts using Rules, a great feature if you want a lot of control over how things look, but a pain in the butt if every day looks exactly like every other day, as is always true in my weblog.

Third, this is going to be a product, not one that I plan to sell (although I may give it to UserLand and they might sell it). It's a new kind of outliner-based Web CMS, that does weblogs and all the other stuff you see popping up here on Scripting. I spent much of the day exploring ideas for how to package, test and then ship this. Should it be a Manila plug-in? Or something that's linked to Manila on a sort of peer basis? Or should it be completely independent of Manila? I want to deliberate on this decision, because I expect to live with it for a long time.

One Less Reason Not To Switch

One Less Reason Not To Switch 05/11/2004 01:45 PM

Novell has announced in a p ress release that they will release the Exchange Connector for Ximian Evolution, previously a $75/seat plugin, as open source.

Novell today announced its Connector for Microsoft* Exchange Server will be integrated into EvolutionTM 2.0 and made available as open source, beginning today with the current Connector 1.4. Evolution is Novell's award-winning e-mail and workgroup client for Linux* systems and is the most widely used collaboration suite on Linux. Evolution Connector allows Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003 users to easily manage their e-mail, calendars, group schedules, address books, public folders and tasks from Linux desktops.

I was thrilled to hear this. Evolution (particularly the current betas) is the equal of MS Outlook in features, but without many of the problems. The only downside was that you had to pony up the cash to natively connect with an Exchange server. My guess is that Novell feels that having this out there will speed the adoption of Linux, and that will provide them more revenue than they had been making by selling the plugin. A positive side effect of Ximian being purchased by Novell.

It appears that Novell has recognized their increasing irrelevance in their old niche, LAN products, and is jumping in to open source with both feet. Could this approach put them back into dominant position?

Tobias Wong has designed the on/off switch: A wireless, metal-plate wall switch that can be placed anywhere and can control any light fixture in your house by attaching its remote component. The range on the Lucite-boxed switch is 100 ft and it's available now at gnr8 for just $119, shipping included. It'll make an interesting conversation piece, if nothing else. I have no idea, by the way, if it's powered by a battery or more like the self-powered switches we mentioned in February.

ReefEdge is moving out of its niche space into the broader WLAN networking world: Nancy Gohring's report on ReefEdge's new WLAN switches for InfoWorld reveals a company that's changed its focus from policy-based WLAN management of homogeneous devices to a range of devices that allow RF management of APs from several vendors, and small-office networking. 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....

Wireless Connection To An External Hard
Drive 06/14/2004 10:47 PM
I have a fairly convoluted set of alternate backup systems that seems to get more complex every time I have yet another catastrophic hard drive failure (such as the latest, which occurred two weeks ago). Right now I have two external USB hard drives, one Mirra backup server, and an offsite service that scoops up data off of my computer every few hours and stores it in some hidden location. The second USB hard drive is because the latest hard drive failure (only a week after I had been told the machine had been "fixed") happened while I was away and didn't have access to the other USB hard drive that remained at home, or the Mirra server which only accepts backups on the local network. The offsite remote backup worked, but was slow and had limited space. So, I ended up with another external hard drive to save whatever data I could get off the old hard drive before it kicked it for good. When I got back home and went back to my old crappy desktop (which is here for just these circumstances) I discovered that the USB connections on this machine no longer work - so I can't actually access the data saved on the hard drive (though, I can access older data on the Mirra device). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get data from the hard drive to the Mirra device, so I'm basically stuck until I get my laptop back and it has a working USB system. With that backdrop in mind, it's great that Maxtor and Linksys are teaming up to offer a wireless way to connect to an external hard drive. Basically, they've created a bridge that lets an external hard drive connect directly to a wireless router (which, in some ways, just mimics what the Mirra backup server is supposed to do, though with fewer features). Either way, it looks like backup systems are getting easier and easier, meaning no one has any excuse not to have something set up these days. Of course, the next time my hard drive fails, I'm sure I'll need to pick up one of these new systems.
