Supernova: Social Spreadsheets
Supernova: Social Spreadsheets
06/28/2004 03:12 AMPhil Windler has a report from
an interesting panel at Supernova....
These are some comments and thoughts from a panel called "The
Network is People." Esther Dyson, Ray Ozzie, Mena Trott, and
Christopher Allen were the panelists.
Spreadsheets were amazing because they sit in the middle, between
calculators and the corporate accounting system. They let people not
just change the numbers, but to change the models and to build new
models. The power of the spreadsheet is the power to persuade people
(some might say "beat them into submission"). Spreadsheets are as much
about group interaction as presentation software is.
Social networks have a problem in that they let you record
relationships, but they don't give you power to control interactions.
They provide too many opportunities for "friend inflation." They don't
accurately reflect people's real social networks. What we need is a
"wiki for transactions." We need a way for users to manage their
workflow in a flexible way--a spreadsheet for social interactions.
Would you rather have ten networks with 700,000 people in them or
700,000 networks with ten people in them? This is an interesting
question. Linked-In is the first. Blogs are the second.
[Phil
Windley]
Esther's idea for a social software spreadsheet are right on. She
wants someone to be able to author their own sequence of events to
'script' their own social software actions. Sort of like roll your
own LinkedIn.
She said this right after folks were attacking the entire premise
of explicit social networking - saying that it was too artificial for
expressing real-life relationships.
But I say that without explcit social networking - we'll never be
abel to deliver Esther's social software spreadsheet.

EUSES/An error in a spreadsheet or Web page
calculation sounds harmless enough, unless you're the person whose
retirement funds, credit history or medical treatment rely on
decisions based on that calculation. A six-campus team of computer
scientists led by Margaret Burnett at Oregon State University is
working to help exterminate the bugs that infest the spreadsheets and
other "programs" created by millions of computer users. You may not
think of yourself as a programmer, but that's just what you are if
you've ever created a simple Web application that grabs data, such as
current weather conditions, from another site, entered a formula in a
spreadsheet or automated a repetitive task in your e-mail client or
word processor. Experts estimate the number of these so-called
"end-user programmers" to reach 55 million by 2005, and the same
experts suggest that nearly half of the programs created by these end
users have nontrivial bugs.

08/27/2004 01:33 PMCSS Colors: Take
Control Using PHP: Good article on how to use PHP (or any
scripting language, really) to generate your CSS.
While many web sites use powerful programming environments
to create HTML, these same tools are usually ignored when it comes to
creating Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This article describes how to
take control of your colors in CSS using PHP.
Since CSS doesn't support variables, it gets to be a pain to change
colors after a while, since you have to change the same color in so
many places. This is a good solution, just make sure you use the
"header" function to declare a MIME type, or you'll anger the
validation Gods.

WWIT: Generating executables
WWIT: Generating executables
06/17/2005 03:43 PM One of the things parrot is supposed to be able to do, and currently
does (albeit with on and off breakage) is generate standalone
executables for parrot programs. That is, you feed in source or
bytecode and you get back something that you can run the linker
against to give you a standalone executable, something you can run
without having parrot installed anywhere. Interestingly, this is a
somewhat controversial decision. I'll get to that in a minute. The
upsides to doing this are several: Distribution is easier No
versioning problems Execution's faster Fewer resources used in
multiuser situations And...

Password Generating Bookmarklet
09/07/2004 10:24 AMPassword generator
bookmarklet: This is pretty brilliant. Boo
kmarklets are the neatest things.
I wrote a bookmarklet to make up passwords for me. It asks for my
master password, which is all I have to remember, and uses it to make
a unique password for each site. It even types the password into any
password fields on the current page for me, whether I'm registering
for a new account or logging in on a subsequent visit. [...]
How does it work? It gets the hostname from the page's URL and
mixes it together with your personal master password using a little
cryptographic magic we call MD5. It will always get the same result if
given that hostname and master password, but will never get that
result if either changes. (Well, once in a few billion times it
might.)
Just don't lose sleep at night worrying about MD5 cracks.

Generating Perl graphs with GD::Graph
04/13/2004 11:22 AMPerl's GD::Graph module is a tool that allows a software developer to
quickly and easily generate graphical representations of data.
Originally written by Martien Verbruggen in 1995, the package has
matured into a very flexible and popular tool. It is ideally suited to
any situation where a dynamic data set, from a database or elsewhere,
needs to be fetched and represented on the fly. It is widely used in
corporate intranets, where many a webmaster has used it to generate
graphs that show data in exactly the format management likes.

PEAR grows up: MDB
01/12/2003 01:36 PMWe met with the author of Metabase at the International PHP Conference
2001 and we talked about the benefits of having something like
Metabase as part of the PEAR project. Shortly afterwards a discussion
began once more in the PEAR mailing list about the potential benefits
of a merge of PEAR DB and Metabase. After much discussion at my
company we decided to take up this task. After several months of hard
work we now have the first stable release of MDB. - Lukas Smith
Lukas Smith has done a fine job with MDB and finally PEAR has a decent
db abstraction library. Congrats!
