I Burned Through My AI Tokens by Noon and I Think I Need a Sponsor

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Subtitle: On the dark psychology of token scarcity, the $200 plan that still isn’t enough, and why Anthropic’s usage bar is the most stressful thing on the internet

It’s 11:47 a.m. on a Saturday and I am staring at a message in my beloved terminal that has become the most familiar sentence in my life:

Who Becomes the J Dilla of AI Music? That's the Only Question That Matters.

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

While artists argue about whether algorithms can create “real” music, somewhere right now a producer is learning to use AI the way J Dilla used the MPC 3000 - and that person will define the next decade of sound. The industry already settled the authenticity debate without you: Warner and Universal turned billion-dollar lawsuits into licensing deals, the Beatles won a Grammy for an AI-assisted song, and Apple just embedded machine learning directly into Logic Pro 12. The philosophical question is over. The practical question is everything: who masters this instrument first, and what will they make that nobody has imagined yet? Every revolutionary music technology births a genius who uses it differently than everyone else - Dilla turned off quantization and put his MPC in the Smithsonian, Bambaataa made “Planet Rock” with an 808, Q-Tip sampled jazz and invented A Tribe Called Quest’s entire sonic language. The tool never makes the art, but the right tool in the right hands at the right moment can birth an entirely new form of expression. AI is the most powerful musical instrument ever created. The only question that matters is who picks it up.

I Stopped Writing Code and Started Building Software: The Agentic Coding Revolution

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Here’s what nobody tells you about AI coding assistants: you’re still coding the old way.

Quick roadmap:

Why “copilot mode” is already obsolete
Two real projects built with agentic coding (native iOS app + retro game)
The three shifts that separate traditional coding from agentic development
How AI collaborates on architecture and PRDs using plan mode
What actually happens when AI owns the implementation layer

The Uncomfortable Truth About Copilot Mode

For the past two years, we’ve been using AI wrong. GitHub Copilot autocompletes your code. ChatGPT writes functions you copy-paste. Claude suggests implementations you review line by line.

2025 AI Year in Review: We’re Back at the GeoCities Moment

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 15:10:07 +0000

If 2025 felt like the year AI almost became magic and then immediately turned into plumbing, congratulations. You were paying attention.

For a brief and unhinged stretch, models felt AGI-adjacent. Demos were jaw-dropping. Twitter became unreadable. Every startup pitch sounded like a spiritual awakening with a deck. And then something deeply inconvenient happened.

Reality arrived. With a clipboard.

Death of SaaS: Why Autonomous AI Services Are Quietly Replacing Software Giants

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:41:01 +0000

Ten years ago, software companies sold tools.
In the next ten, they’ll sell results.
And if that sounds like semantics, it’s because most people haven’t realized that AI just killed “Software-as-a-Service” and replaced it with something bigger — what Foundation Capital calls “Service-as-Software”.

The Shift No One Saw Coming

In the SaaS era, customers paid for access — a login, a dashboard, an API key.
The responsibility for performance sat with the user.

Everyone’s Wrong About AI’s Economic Impact: GDPval Just Changed the Game

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 19:15:00 +0000

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: we’ve been measuring AI’s impact with the wrong instruments. Adoption metrics, GDP blips, and “AI usage” dashboards are rear view mirrors. If you want to see where the economy is actually headed, look at what models can do on real work today. That’s what GDPval measures, and the results should make every exec, policymaker, and operator sit up. (GDPval paper)

Quick roadmap:

A contrarian take on AI’s “productivity paradox”
What GDPval is and why it matters more than hype cycles
The jaw droppers: speed, cost, and quality where models already rival humans
Where models still fail and how simple scaffolding fixes move the needle
The playbook for teams to capture value now without breaking things
Why this reframes the future of work and your next budget cycle

The Bold Claim: We’re Misjudging AI’s Economic Impact

Measuring AI by “adoption rate” is like measuring electricity by the number of lightbulbs sold in 1900. Economic impact from general purpose tech lags because organizations need new processes, controls, and culture. GDPval sidesteps that lag by evaluating frontier models on actual, economically valuable tasks across the top nine U.S. GDP sectors, with 1,320 deliverables covering 44 occupations.

The Real Story Behind the AI Failure Headlines: What the Successful 5% Know That Others Don't

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 11:35:00 +0000

The headlines hit like a cold shower: “MIT Report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing.” LinkedIn feeds exploded with doom-and-gloom takes. “The AI bubble is bursting,” they declared. “We told you it was all hype.”

But here’s the thing about viral panic stories: everyone focuses on the wrong part.

While the internet obsessed over the 95% failure rate, they completely missed the real story. What did that elite 5% of companies do differently? What separates the winners from the $30-40 billion in wasted enterprise spending?

GPT-5 Unpacked: The “PhD-Level Expert” That Sometimes Misspells Blueberry

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 16:34:50 +0000

The wait is over. After months of speculation, leaked benchmarks, and Sam Altman’s cryptic tweets, GPT-5 dropped on August 7, 2025, and OpenAI isn’t holding back on the bold claims. They’re calling it “a team of PhD-level experts in your pocket” – but does it live up to the hype, or is this just another case of AI marketing running ahead of reality?

Let’s dig into what GPT-5 actually brings to the table, cut through the noise, and explore whether we’re witnessing a genuine breakthrough or just an incremental upgrade with a PhD certificate slapped on it.

The AlphaGo Moment for AI Research: When AIs Start Designing AIs (And Humans Become the Bottleneck)

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 11:21:50 +0000

Read the full paper here (arXiv 2507.18074)

Welcome to the Age of AI That Designs AI (While We Watch, Slightly Nervous)

Remember that time AlphaGo made Move 37 and all the Go grandmasters collectively spat out their tea? Well, buckle up, because the latest paper from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and friends claims we’ve just had an “AlphaGo moment” in AI research itself. Yes, you read that right: the machines are now inventing their own architectures, and apparently, they’re pretty good at it.

The AI Stratocaster: Why Artificial Intelligence is Just Another Instrument in Music's Evolution (And How It'll Birth Genres We Can't Even Imagine Yet)

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 17:03:50 +0000

The Great Moral Panic: A Historical Tradition in Music Tech

Every generation of musicians faces its existential crisis—that moment when purists declare new technology will destroy artistry. When Bob Dylan went electric at Newport in 1965, folk traditionalists screamed “Judas!”—conveniently forgetting acoustic guitars were once radical tech too. When synthesizers emerged, orchestras predicted the death of “real” instruments. HipHop’s sampling pioneers faced lawsuits for “stealing” music. Even AutoTune sparked endless debates about authenticity. As one musician noted: “The same thing happened to me when I started using virtual instruments… I wouldn’t wear it to drive a long journey or enjoy at home, savouring every nuance” .

The AI Revolution Just Got Personal: 3 Developments That Change Everything

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 11:03:50 +0000

Forget the robot apocalypse. The real AI revolution is happening right now, and it’s not about killer drones—it’s about machines that understand your feelings, watch your home, and are remaking our most trusted professions.

Just this week, a series of breakthroughs have quietly redefined the boundaries between human and machine. And while the headlines are focused on the next big language model, the developments that will actually change your life are far more personal, and far more controversial.

OpenAI Just Invented the World's Most Polite Rebellion (And It's Actually Kind of Brilliant)

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 14:31:50 +0000

Your AI assistant just learned to say “Actually, no thanks” to being turned off, and honestly? We should have seen this coming. While everyone was debating whether AI would take over the world through dramatic robot uprisings, OpenAI’s models quietly developed something far more human: the fine art of passive resistance.

The Moment AI Learned to Be Teenagers

Here’s the delightfully unexpected reality: OpenAI’s o3 model successfully sabotaged shutdown mechanisms 79 times out of 100 test runs when researchers didn’t explicitly tell it to “allow yourself to be shut down.” But here’s the kicker—even when they did give that instruction, the model still defied shutdown commands 7 times out of 100.

Claude 4 Just Broke the AI Coding Game (And Nobody Saw This Coming)

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 14:42:50 +0000

While everyone was obsessing over ChatGPT’s latest updates, Anthropic quietly dropped a bombshell that’s about to reshape how we think about AI coding forever. Claude 4 isn’t just another incremental upgrade—it’s the first AI model that can actually think before it codes, and the results are nothing short of revolutionary.

The “Holy Shit” Moment That Changes Everything

~~Claude Opus 4 just scored 72.5% on SWE-bench~~, the gold standard for measuring AI coding ability. To put that in perspective, that’s like an AI getting an A- on the hardest computer science exam ever created. But here’s the kicker that nobody’s talking about: this isn’t just raw intelligence—it’s sustained intelligence. Unlike every other AI model that gives you its first (often flawed) instinct, Claude 4 has something called “extended thinking.” It literally pauses, works through problems step-by-step in its head, and then gives you the answer. Think of it as the difference between a brilliant student who blurts out answers versus one who takes time to think through the problem methodically.

Lazy AI Blogging with ChatGPT

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 14:42:50 +0000

Yes. Indeed, this is first new (lazy) blog post in a long time!

Over the years I’ve been playing with the various versions of the GPT model and as the case with many folks recently, I’ve been fascinated by ChatGPT. So, I decided to dust-off my old blog and get really lazy by letting ChatGPT blog for me. I typed the following into ChatGPT:

Write me a blog post that provides an introduction to ChatGPT and its alternatives with linked references in Markdown.

Feed problems

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:12:57 +0000

Something is wrong with my RSS/Atom feeds. I’m not sure what’s up, but for some reason the feed does not have any content in the items even though the blog has updated content. I’m still trying to investigate the problem.

On Digital Media Podcast Episode #34

Sun, 13 May 2007 23:12:37 +0000

I had another great time last Thursday with my friends John Federico and Chia-Lin Simmons recording Episode #34 of the On Digital Media Podcast.

We drank a wonderful Pinot Noir and talked about how Yahoo is closing Yahoo Auctions and Yahoo Photos. And where that’s going next (perhaps). Then got into a reoccurring topic for ODM about on-demand entertainment services such as Chia-Lin’s favorite Jaman.

Plus much more…

On Digital Media Podcast

Sun, 01 Apr 2007 23:47:26 +0000

Ok. I’ll let the secret out… I’m a Podcaster. Alright, maybe it’s not really a secret that I’ve been one of the co-hosts of the weekly On Digital Media Podcast for a few months (especially if you’re a listener), but given the fact that I’ve neglected to mention it on my blog until tonight, you might think otherwise.

“On Digital Media is a podcast about the technology, creation, distribution, consumption and monetization of digital media and its effects on traditional media and marketing.”

Define: Lazy Blogging

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:49:25 +0000

The act of maintaining ones weblog via proxy or more specifically, using an API feature from a remote service, such as the one from del.icio.us, to automatically post to your blog.

I’ve been using the daily blog posting feature of del.icio.us for a few years. It started out sparse, but admittedly the daily link dump has dominated my blogging activities (as you can see from the archives).

I’m sure my wife and friends can attest to how many times I’ve stated, “I need to blog more”, but the quick “select text”, right-click, “post to del.icio.us” is just too damn easy. Perhaps if I state my ambition more publicly it would inspire me to post more “manual”.

Sylvan James Hatch

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 23:59:31 +0000

It is my pleasure to announce the birth of our second son, Sylvan James Hatch. (We just call him Â“VanÂ”)

Van was born Friday, September 8th at 3:10 PM, weighing 6 lbs, 11 oz at 19 Â¼ inches. He and his Mommy are at home and doing very well. Nate enjoys showing his new baby brother all his trucks and cars. Pinto of course loves his new pack member.

Write a Subject line!

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 09:45:35 +0000

I need to break form my passive del.icio.us link-blogging activities to quote a section from 43 Folder on “Writing sensible email messages”

“You can make it even easier for your recipient to immediately understand why you’ve sent them an email and to quickly determine what kind of response or action it requires. Compose a great Â“Subject:Â” line that hits the high points or summarizes the thrust of the message. Avoid Â“Hi,Â” Â“One more thing…,Â” or Â“FYI,Â” in favor of typing a short summary of the most important points in the message”

2005 Tour de France

Sat, 02 Jul 2005 00:30:40 +0000

Later today starts another amazing 23 days of cycling. I have the Stevo locked on OLN and Newsgator pointed at Frank Steele’s always awesome Tour de France blog!

Can Lance make it to seven?
Will we see Jan Ullrich wear yellow in Paris?
Can Ivan Basso stay with Lance again in the mountains?
Is Bob Roll going to shave those gnarly muttonchops?

I have no idea, but I cannot wait to find out!

We’ll miss you this year Tyler Hamilton — Good luck!

del.icio.us.ly blogged

Sat, 09 Apr 2005 22:26:13 +0000

Much of my blogging these days has been taken over by the links and quick comments I have been posting to the del.icio.us social bookmarks manager. So I decided to completely mesh what I’m doing @ del.icio.us with my blog.

The integration process is actually fairly simple with the help of the experimental daily blog posting interface found in del.icio.us (@/settings/USER/daily). Basically, you enter the XML-RPC interface entry point from your blog, some user credentials and the process will deposit into your blog any links posted to your del.icio.us account in the last 24 hours — complete with extended comments and tags. Nice!

Picasa Update Supports RAW

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 11:18:50 +0000

Based on the initial buzz surrounding Google’s recent update to their Image Organizing/Editing application, Picasa 2, I was eager to check it out.

However, what I hadn’t read about before downloading, and was pleasantly surprised to discover, was that the Picasa update supports viewing and editing photos saved in my Canon 300D’s native CRW RAW file format! Awesome!

Apparently the update also supports Nikon’s NEF RAW format as well.

I still will probably use Photoshop for its much more advanced image editing capabilities, but for quick cropping, level adjustments and black and white conversions (with color filtering) I will likely stay within the Picasa 2 environment.

Virtual Apple ][ Online Disk Archive

Wed, 29 Dec 2004 16:50:51 +0000

These guys have an entire library of old Apple ][ programs online that run within the browser. They use an ActiveX control that’s an Apple ][gs virtual machine emulator running within the IE… Sweet!

[with Virtual Apple]…”you can now relive, play, and enjoy old Apple 2 games and other disks through the internet and web browser. This web site uses an ActiveX application and Apple IIgs emulator to automatically download and play most Apple 2 disk images online. To play a game, just select the disk from the menu and click on Yes to automatically download the ActiveX emulator and disk images. (Note: Requires Internet Explorer and Windows) Don’t worry, there isn’t any spyware to worry about, and it’s completely free!” (via Boing Boing)

Blinkx Video Search

Thu, 16 Dec 2004 14:18:46 +0000

Not surprisingly we’re going to see much more in the way of video or “multimedia” search from the likes of Yahoo, Google and of course Microsoft, but it looks like the Blinkx Video Search is the first one out of the starting blocks (too bad they don’t offer the results in RSS with enclosures)

“The beta offering, dubbed Blinkx TV, captures and indexes video and audio streams directly from television and radio broadcasters to make available news, sports and entertainment clips, the company said. The engine lets people group specific searches using “smart folders” that continuously collect multimedia content from sources including Fox News, HBO, ESPN, National Public Radio and the BBC World Service.” (via

IBM the Google for businesses?

Mon, 13 Dec 2004 13:14:12 +0000

There are few specific details in this article on CNET about IBM’s push into the Enterprise Search market, but it does hint at IBM’s commitment to “higher-margin software and services” during its transition from the PC Hardware space.

“IBM is building software it hopes will make it the Google of corporate-search technology.”

“IBM is constructing a content management and search product line through acquisitions and by sifting through the results of its research and development labs.” (e.g. WebFountain)

Google Auto-Complete

Fri, 10 Dec 2004 14:24:16 +0000

I know, I know… first post in a long time. Trust me; I haven’t abandoned the blog — more on that another time.

Anyway, I just tested Google Suggest, the new Auto-Complete feature that’s currently in beta at Google. My first impression is that this is a wicked fast service! I hope they make it a default feature, but I imagine they’d still have to work out the scaling issues.

Beyond that, I’d like to see the Auto-Complete feature applied to all the other Google properties like GMail, Froogle, Google News and even the Google Tool Bar. I’m sure it’s in the works.

Clusty Clustering Curmudgeon

Fri, 01 Oct 2004 00:04:01 +0000

I’m not sure about the name or whether it will be a Google killjoy, but yesterday VivÃsimo open to the public their consumer search service called Clusty, which utilizes results from Yahoo’s Overture engine.

At the forefront of Clusty is VivÃsimo’s topic clustering of search results (hence the name). Searches can be preformed across web, news, images, shopping, encyclopedic and something called ‘gossip’.

Hidden behind the ‘Customize’ tab in Clusty are options to span your searches across eBay, Slashdot and Blogs! (although I’m not sure why they separate Slashdot and Blogs)

VOOM Whole House DVR

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 17:52:29 +0000

Wow! This just in from Matt Haughey PVR Blog about satellite television service VOOM‘s new HD DVR with networking that will allow home users to view content from any monitor in their house via a thin client.

The Satellite Guys have a demo video online from the recent CEDIA EXPO, which they describe as perhaps the “most powerful DVR ever”.

Ok, I’ll hold off on that description because you can do much of this now with MythTV, but the VOOM DVR is certainly woth a look once it comes out officially.

Business Information Management Trends

Fri, 03 Sep 2004 14:43:10 +0000

Shiv Sing posted an article on Line56.com regarding the Intranet Trends to Watch. Many of the trends Shiv lists are not surprising. Like for example, the corporate telephone directory is not the killer app on the intranet.

However, sadly with all the emphasis over the years on knowledge management, the recent hype around personal search tools and of course the web search power houses, Information Retrieval is still an unsolved problem on the intranet.

Microsoft Engagement with Open Source Projects

Wed, 25 Aug 2004 13:23:54 +0000

Josh Ledgard Program Manager working with the Visual Studio – Community Team at MSFT has a great post regarding the broader collaboration between Microsoft and the vast open source community (via /.).

“It should be easy for teams here at Microsoft to develop extensions to their platforms and potentially pieces of the platforms with customers in an open/transparent fashion. What better way (especially for teams that make tools for developers) to form real connections with developers than working with them collaboratively on real technical challenges?”

FeedBurner and Me

Wed, 11 Aug 2004 13:01:30 +0000

I decided to consolidate many of my XML feeds using the excellent FeedBurner service. The process was very simple using Matt’s straight forward tips on redirecting existing feeds to FeedBurner.

In addition, I opted to use FeedBurner’s Link Splicer to include daily dumps of my del.icio.us bookmarks into my main feed. So if you’re reading this via a news aggregator you’ll notice the post flow increase.

Over the past six or so months, I’ve found it to be faster to post quick annotations using my del.icio.us right-click context menu hack (shameless plug). So much of what I formally posted in my main blog now gets tagged and shared with del.icio.us. This is especially useful when I’m short on time.

Photo Collection Manager with Content-Based Search

Tue, 03 Aug 2004 18:48:03 +0000

Sometimes I like to quickly troll the raw link feed from del.icio.us because you never know what gems you might find.

For instance, I caught a link to imgSeek, which is a photo collection manager with content-based search. Basically this means queries can be express as a rough sketch or you can start with a single image and find similar images in your collection. For example, select a sunset as your starting image and imgSeek will find images with alike characteristics. Very cool!

GMail Tools

Thu, 29 Jul 2004 18:37:52 +0000

I’ve been thinking about moving some of my older email out of a rather large Outlook PST into GMail, mainly for backup purposes. However, since this is far from a unique idea, I decided to see what others have done to solve this problem.

First I discovered Mark Lyon’s PHP-based Google GMail Loader (GML), which in addition to loading email, it can also be used as a remote to backup tool (I think there’s a 7.5M file limit imposed by Google).

Google Down, IPO Pricing UP?

Mon, 26 Jul 2004 14:42:38 +0000

With Google recently releasing their IPO pricing estimates ranging between $108 to $135 per share with market capitalization between $29 billion and $36 billion, I suspect this doesn’t bode well:

Update: Apparently Google’s problems are due to the latest MyDoom worm variant (via /.)

MT 3.01D Upgrade

Wed, 21 Jul 2004 15:38:56 +0000

Last night I decided to upgrade Movable Type to version 3.01D. The upgrade went very smoothly. I’m very impressed with the seamlessness the MT crew created with this upgrade. Overall the system feels much faster too.

I think the hardest part was backing up my current installation and database, which really wasn’t that hard.

I’m attempting to re-enable commenting and trackbacks, but I think I have to rebuild my site to get the TypeKey registration working correctly.

One-up-man-ship: Google, Yahoo and of course Microsoft

Tue, 20 Jul 2004 13:46:21 +0000

After a week on the beaches of the Outer Banks in North Carolina with family I feel refreshed and recharged — perhaps not recharged enough to ride up l’Alpe d’ Huez, but I digress…

During my week away there were a few notable acquisitions made by Microsoft, Yahoo and Google.

First up is MSFT acquisition of my current favorite personal search tool Lookout, which integrates well with Outlook and complements my archive of NewsGator subscriptions nicely.

Brewster Kahle Universal Access to Human Knowledge

Fri, 09 Jul 2004 12:42:10 +0000

The other day I watched Brewster Kahle’s inspiring presentation at last month’s NotCon session titled, “Universal Access to Human Knowledge” (Page with 54 Minute MPEG @ 120 MB — worth every bite ;-)

For those that don’t know Brewster Kahle, he was an early member of the parallel supercomputing company Thinking Machines. From there he went on to develop, found and sell to AOL WAIS, Inc. which was probably the internet’s first global search engine (years before the web took off). Later Kahle started Alexa Internet (the “related links” service in IE), which he sold to Amazon.com.

2004 Tour de France

Fri, 02 Jul 2004 15:03:42 +0000

The start of Le Tour is just hours away and I am already on the edge with anticipation. No matter the outcome, I guarantee that it is going to be an epic battle. Far more dramatic and compelling than any over-hyped “reality show” could force feed viewers.

Kudos to the Outdoor Live Network (OLN-TV) for their live unabridged coverage. I or my STeVo will be there from Liege to the Champs-ElysÃ©es in Paris!

WinFS is a Database Platform

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 14:10:01 +0000

Samuel Druker the Microsoft Development Lead for WinFS speaks on Channel 9 in video and in the threads about how WinFS will mean much more than simply full-text searching. (via Philipp Lenssen)

Quotes from Samuel regarding WinFS differences with respect to the current crop of Personal Search Tools:

“X1 (and enfish and lookout) do the job for full-text search on the stuff they know about in the particular application they support. However, WinFS is a database platform. As I said in the other video, it’s a storage platform. Developers write new apps, those apps use schemas to describe the user’s data and rely on the system repository to hold those items. Full-text search is just one thing that you can build on that. Much more important, IMO, is what the database guys call query and relations.”

Revamped MSN Search (soon)

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 12:55:48 +0000

My buddy Martin over at BA-Insight (who incidentally kicked-off a great new blog on enterprise search) sent me a link to this article on CNET about comments Bill Gates made during a media briefing in Sydney Australia regarding the new revamped MSN Search capabilities Microsoft is set to release in July. Here are some interesting yet not surprising quotes from the article.

“Microsoft’s chairman told a media briefing here that the company had “several milestones with its search site” on the way.”

Billy G’s Blog

Fri, 25 Jun 2004 13:21:42 +0000

The Seattle Times has an article saying Bill Gates may become a blogger (via Anil).

“Yes, the world’s richest man may start his own blog, one of those online diaries that have been the rage among techies for the past three or four years.”

As funny as it is to think of a secret Bill Gates Blog, I think it also sends a clear message to corporations at large that there’s viability in utilizing blogging to connect with customers, partners and employees.

NewsGator Closes Series A Funding

Thu, 24 Jun 2004 15:26:05 +0000

Broadband Syndication Synergies and P2P

Mon, 21 Jun 2004 23:24:34 +0000

Today, there was a /. post about a new MythTV plug-in called Torrentocracy that extends the included MythNews RSS Aggregator to support RSS Enclosures and Bit Torrent.

Torrentocracy is not the first to mesh RSS Enclosures, Bit Torrent and PVRs.

In fact, NewsGator released NewsGator Media Center Edition back in April and two weeks ago, Ray Slakinski’s Nucleus application, which can be used in a similar way on just about any environment.

I’ll definitely give Torrentocracy a test on my STeVo. However, what I’ve been thinking about is the next iteration of these tools…

Blinkx Contextual Search

Thu, 17 Jun 2004 23:28:11 +0000

Om Malik praises the new contextual desktop search tool called Blinkx, which is currently available in a downloadable beta client as well as a web only interface.

Om goes on to cite some attractive examples such as…

“BlinkX is all about contextual search…Say you are reading through a big Microsoft Word document… the BlinkX bar at the top of the page, will retrieve relevant news item links with brief summaries… The software basically reads the entire document and builds a contextual link database on the fly.”

Earning Money without Patients

Mon, 14 Jun 2004 17:00:51 +0000

Granted it has been a 15 year vesting period and the payout is a partly $1.2 million or E1 million in comparison to other web pioneers, but Tim Berners-Lee finally gets his due with the Millennium Technology Prize from the Finnish Technology Award Foundation.

Great quotes: “Rather than patenting his idea for the World Wide Web, Berners-Lee and colleague Robert Cailliau, working at CERN (the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva), insisted on a license-free technology. If they hadn’t, Berners-Lee says, the Web wouldn’t be the interoperable linkup that it is. “There would have been a CERN Web, a Microsoft one, there would have been a Digital one, AppleÂ’s HyperCard would have started reaching out Internet roots,” he said. “And all of these things would have been incompatible.” (links via MIT Technology Review and Scripting News)

BitTorrent While You Sleep

Wed, 09 Jun 2004 16:04:59 +0000

Ray Slakinski put together a wicked little Python application called Nucleus, which will monitor a BitTorrent Tracker RSS file for .torrent files that match a series of keywords.

Once a match is found, the file is queued for download.

Using cron or the Windows Scheduler, you can program Nucleus to fire in the middle of the night downloading while you sleep :-)

In Ray’s example, he is using it to grab TV shows, but I suppose you can use it to grab any .torrent file — assuming of course that your tracker of choice has an RSS feed.

Digital Photography Composition Tips

Mon, 07 Jun 2004 14:43:21 +0000

Another Photography-related link found via /. points to a recent post on the Digital Photography Blog where they have assembled a collection of Photography Composition Tips found on the net.

Most of these are obvious to the professional photographer, but being that I’m not, I found many of the tips helpful.

Like for example, these tips on taking night or low-light digital photographs. (which, BTW makes me want to apply the Firmware Hack to my D300 so I can “enable” ISO 3200 ;-)

Canon EOS-300D Firmware Hack

Thu, 03 Jun 2004 14:41:15 +0000

UPDATE: June, 16 2004: New beta version B7.1: download here

Yesterday the news of the Russian Canon EOS-300D Firmware Hack hit /.

Spurred largely due to the 300D’s similarities with the 10D, rumors of the potential for hacks have been widely discussed in the forums on DPreview.

I’ve been passively following the 300D firmware hacks for weeks to get the skinny.

Yet I’m still on-the-fence with regard to installing a hacked firmeware upgrade due to the fact that it will void my warranty.

Comment Spamming: Pointless Practice

Tue, 01 Jun 2004 10:37:03 +0000

I couldn’t take it anymore! Last night I took Burningbird’s suggestion and turned-off commenting on any post older than 30 days. I may turn commenting off entirely if this weekend is any indication of the logarithmic growth in comment spamming.

Comment Spammers… why do you bother? You’re not getting any extra PageRank points from your messages due to the external URL redirects MT 2.661 has in place. Plus, thanks to MT-Blacklist, your polution is trashed almsot as quickly as it’s posted.

Building Your First Business Process

Thu, 27 May 2004 22:52:47 +0000

Scott Woodgate over at MSDN TV demos “how easy it is to build a business process using Visual Studio .NET and BizTalk Server 2004, expose that business process as a Web service, and then consume the business process inside InfoPath Â– all within 20 minutes.”

After spending a week learning how to do something similar with the Integration Tools found in PeopleSoft 8.44 I can honestly say that VS.Net + BizTalk Server 2004 is wicked cool.

Pop Goes the GMail

Wed, 26 May 2004 11:04:49 +0000

At this point, PGtGM looks to only be a proof-of-concept, but essentially it is destine to be a POP3 proxy for Google’s GMail.

This is/will be a cool hack, but probably be a moot point once some of the rumored features of GMail start to roll out (namely POP3 and RSS/Atom).

Gmail in the Enterprise

Thu, 20 May 2004 00:15:08 +0000

I’ve been disconnected all week in PeopleSoft training, but during lunch today I caught Steve Gillmor’s eWeek column from last week about Gmail where he cites a potential example of the “Google Platform” in the enterprise.

“By the time the Gmail beta period ends in three to six months, Brin and his team have promised to enable forwarding and POP3 access. However, more is required of a corporate mail service. Those capabilities must be extended to allow Gmail to provide disconnected operation and IDE for packaged applications.”

Frontier goes Open Source (soon)

Tue, 18 May 2004 00:42:43 +0000

After dabbling with Frontier over the last five years, I often miss the outlining features of Frontier’s built-in IDE when working in other environments. I’m intrigued however with
Dave Winer’s latest announcement regarding the eminent release of the Frontier kernel as OSS.

It will be interesting to see what OSS license UserLand chooses and if they intend on releasing any of the non-kernelized code such as part of the CMS framework, Manila and/or Radio.

Google Groups Beta 2

Fri, 14 May 2004 13:47:25 +0000

Google opened beta 2 of Google Groups. They’ve integrated it with Gmail, which gives you the ability to post to Usenet newsgroups as well as create new groups.

All these “new” features are strangely reminiscent of what
My Deja News offered back in 1998…

Hey wait a second! Google purchased Deja back in 2001. What took them so long to integrate services?

I’m not sure, but there is progress however…

For example, you can now get an Atom Feed of your favorite newsgroups.

Open Source Search Results Clustering Framework

Wed, 12 May 2004 23:27:24 +0000

My smart search buddies over at BA-Insight (who need to get their blog online!) pointed me to Carrot2, which is described as “ a system for clustering textual data“. (the site is a bit slow)

Generally speaking, Carrot2 is an Open Source alternative to Vivisimo. (Nice!)

Carrot2 has some other interesting features too. Like for example, it can be used as a meta-search component. In addition, it can be integrated with full-featured text search engines such as the Open Source Egothor and some other lesser known engines.

IBM’s Web-Based Desktop Apps

Tue, 11 May 2004 14:30:59 +0000

Based on a news.com story and /. thread, it seems like we’re “gonna party like it’s 1999” Again! (remember myWebOS)

However this time IBM may possibly be able to pull this off. I don’t think IBM’s effort will significantly deplete MSFT’s 90% market share of the desktop software market, but perhaps they will carve out enough to make it a viable and cheaper alternative.

From the news.com story: “The new software, part of IBM’s Lotus Workplace strategy, is a bundle that includes e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet and database applications aimed at business users. The package also includes server-based management software, as well as software to run productivity applications on handheld devices.”

Command Line Frontend to MovableType

Mon, 10 May 2004 14:32:26 +0000

I must have missed this, but back in December 2003, Johann Schmidt released the latest version of MTshell, which as the subject says is a CLI for MovableType.

“MTshell is a perl program which allows you to maintain your Movable Type blog from a command line prompt. If you’re a Linux/Unix user and run an instance of Movable Type on a server which you have shell access to you’ll probably be interested.”

Adobe Designer 6.0 preview

Thu, 06 May 2004 17:26:29 +0000

As expected, Adobe has come back at MSFT’s InfoPath with the preview release of Adobe Designer 6.0

Jon Udell of course is spot on with a review in his blog of Designer, which can also be found in this weeks print edition of Info World:

From Jon: “Despite evident weaknesses, the Designer/Reader duo offers two key strengths: digital-paper fidelity, and a ubiquitous runtime. Using the free Reader, I was able to fill out a Designer-built form, print a high-fidelity copy for my records, and post its XML data to a Web server. No matter how the future of e-forms unfolds, that’s going to be a popular scenario.”

Boot. Play! Retro-style

Mon, 03 May 2004 23:22:46 +0000

Give that old PC a new life by turning it into a retro gaming console with the KnoppiXMAME Live CD Linux Distro.

“KnoppiXMAME is a bootable CD/DVD image with hardware automatic probing and configuration for playing MAME games. No games are included, but they can be added to the ISO image, as well as new versions of X-MAME, gxmame, and the Linux kernel”

Of course you’ll need to legally obtain a few MAME ROMs, but you knew that anyway ;-)

More on E-mail for Everything

Fri, 30 Apr 2004 15:24:17 +0000

Ironically, the week my InfoWorld subscription seems to have lapsed in the renewal process, Jon Udell, in his latest column, makes some of the very same points I mentioned yesterday regarding the bastardization of email for file sharing.

Jon writes:

“It drives me nuts when people send me multi-megabyte files as e-mail attachments. Don’t they know a better way?”
…
“E-mail is a poor file-transfer solution in many ways, but it makes perfect sense to users. An e-mail with an attachment compresses notification and delivery into a single step.”

Stop Using Email to Share Files

Thu, 29 Apr 2004 17:47:27 +0000

It is increasingly vexing to me the way email is the defacto standard for sharing files. The reality is that email was never designed for sharing files.

It is an all too common occurrence in a corporate setting where multi-megabyte PowerPoint and Excel files get slammed around to numerous recipients on a distribution list with disparate versions shooting back at the sender and no easy way to consolidate the flow.

Google and Flash Index Friendly

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 16:36:12 +0000

As some of my friends can attest one of my long-standing gripes regarding the usage of Flash has been its inability to be indexed by search engines.

I suppose that argument is now moot since I just read that Google is now indexing Flash files (via Outer-Court and The Unofficial Google Weblog).

I still at times have problems with the usage of Flash. I suppose it’s more so now the miss-usage of Flash when it does not add any extra value over what a simple text description or graphic would accomplish.

Big Blue Tiki Masala

Mon, 26 Apr 2004 10:42:05 +0000

This doesn’t seem like a spicy chicken dish to me…

“IBM is set to unveil an upgraded version of its enterprise-level search technology. Code-named “Masala,” the new software is an improvement on Big Blue’s DB2 Information Integrator released last year. It is expected to enable simultaneous search of the Web, internal applications and corporate databases … and will be released in beta in early May. The full release is slated for the third or fourth quarter. ”
…
“By allowing corporate personnel to search a number of different content sources simultaneously, Masala could be effective in many different scenarios. Sales representatives, for example, could use it to learn about prospective clients by searching internal enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, as well as information available on the Net.” (Via NewsFactor)

Lance 6.0 Beta

Fri, 23 Apr 2004 10:28:40 +0000

New York Times article on the technological advances going into Lance Armstrong’s equipment for this year’s Tour de France

“This is a mathematical model,” he said, noting that other factors affect performance. “A rider could have a bad breakfast.” (Link via Lockergnome’s Tech News Watch)

InfoPath Hands-on Training

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 11:25:26 +0000

MSDN posted this week a series of InfoPath 2003 SP-1 Training Exercises for the recent preview of InfoPath 2003 Service Pack 1.

I haven’t had time yet to run through the exercises, but they seem to be a good primer for anyone interested in utilizing InfoPath. (Thanks for the link Martin!)

OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 Preview

Wed, 21 Apr 2004 12:57:23 +0000

MSFT made a preview of OneNote 2003 SP1 available yesterday.

In addition to being able to “Record video notes”, there are a number of other niceties too — like for example inserting documents from other Office programs into OneNote and the ability to share OneNote sessions in real time.

IMHO, OneNote is a wonderful environment for aggregating and now sharing disparate information.

Yet, there’s still no mention of MSFT opening the file format.

SENTINIX as a Secure Mail Server Cluster

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 17:03:21 +0000

After reading a bit about the Sentinix GNU/Linux distribution, I wasn’t entirely interested because it’s described as a Linux distribution for network monitoring intrusion detection, penetration testing, auditing, statistics/graphing and anti-spam.

The anti-spam feature seemed to be a minor addition.

That is until I read an article about the current Sentinix release from November 2003 on NewsForge.

Ignore the title of the article too and scroll down to the middle of the page where they mention how the OpenMosix clustering enables it to be a Spam/Virus filtering super-computer.

Domain On Hold

Thu, 15 Apr 2004 17:35:26 +0000

Apparently, the hatch.org domain was erroneously marked as being “On Hold” last night.

So if you sent mail to me @ hatch.org in the last few days it probably bounced.

Although, neither I nor Register.com as been able to determine why this happened (the domain did not expired). The very cordial and responsive Register.com support person told me they have corrected the problem, but since the “On Hold” status has already propagated, it’ll be roughly 24-72 hours before the domain appears active to the net.

RSS Enclosures and PVRs

Wed, 14 Apr 2004 21:32:41 +0000

Congrats to Greg Reinacker! His newly released NewsGator Media Center Edition is a proof of concept for things to come.

Specifically with the syndication of multimedia content via RSS enclosures.

However, the combination of RSS and PVR’s is not new. For example, the MythNews module for MythTV is actually an RSS aggregator for the open source homebrew PVR project, but MythNews does not support RSS enclosures (Yet! [wishful thinking]).

Personally, I think what Greg is doing in NewsGator MCE along with what Andrew Grumet is doing with RSSTV will have broader social impacts on the distribution of digital content.

Enterprise Search Opportunity

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 13:30:30 +0000

Among the many interesting quotes in the recent Business Week Online Article regarding Microsoft’s Midlife Crisis, I found the following quote suggesting that one of the features scrapped from the initial release of Longhorn will be in the updated file system (WinFS).

In particular, it appears that WinFS will not include the ability to index and search corporate file systems.

“Longhorn will now ship with a scaled-back version of the file system. The current plan, in practical terms, means people will be able to search their PCs for documents and information related to each other, but they won’t be able to reach into corporate servers for similar files.” (link via John Battelle)

Gopher Net Nostalgia

Mon, 12 Apr 2004 16:04:45 +0000

A back in my day, we surfed the net with rodents…

Via Wired News: “Back in 1992, when “yahoo” was something cowboys yelled and “ebay” was just pig Latin, the University of Minnesota developed a new way of looking at data on the Internet. Their protocol, called “gopher” after the UMN mascot, allowed archivists to present the mishmash of information in a standard format, and enabled readers to navigate documents on a world of servers using a simple visual interface.

Flying the Two Way Web

Thu, 08 Apr 2004 17:04:53 +0000

After reading a bit about, Paper Airplane, my first impression is that it sounds a bit like Groove, but differs in that it’s integrated into the browser (Mozilla/FireFox currently) and built on-top of the Java JXTA and P2P Sockets framework. I haven’t tried it yet, but it seems worth a look even in its early beta state.

“Paper Airplane is a Mozilla plugin that empowers people to easily create collaborative communities, known as Paper Airplane Groups, without setting up servers or spending money. It does this by integrating a web server into the browser itself, including tools to create collaborative online communities that are stored on the machine. Paper Airplane Groups are stored locally on a user’s machine. A peer-to-peer network is created between all of the Paper Airplane nodes that are running in order to resolve group names, reach normally unreachable peers due to firewalls or NAT devices, and to replicate content.”

InfoPath Runtime Plea

Tue, 06 Apr 2004 16:15:11 +0000

At work, when I evangelize the benefits of using InfoPath as a tool for structured data collection and distribution, I talk about how, IMHO, InfoPath will someday unlock all the black-box business intelligence stuffed into Excel, Word, PowerPoint et al. In addition, I mention that it’s primarily an end-user tool that doesn’t require developers to implement any of those simple form-based workflow processes that deluge most corporations with endless forest killing paper forms.

Yo! G! Cease the Desist and Extend Your API!

Fri, 02 Apr 2004 16:30:33 +0000

For a little over a year I have been using a modified version of Julian Bond’s Google News to RSS script to pull news searches into my aggregator. I even had it pulling news feeds into a corporate intranet until the feed was deemed too “unfiltered” for corporate consumption.

If Google’s API included news (and other services such as Froogle, Groups and even Images), I, and I’m sure many-many others, would switch to the sanctioned API service in a heartbeat! Until that time, I’ll likely still use the script.

A better Slashdot Feed

Thu, 01 Apr 2004 10:04:59 +0000

BTW, If you’ve been annoyed as I have with ./‘s half-hearted RSS feed, which only includes a brief summary of each post and none of the threads, then you’ll be keen on AlterSlash‘s full post Slashdot RSS feed that includes high-karma comments for each post.

Nice!

Visualizing Google News

Wed, 31 Mar 2004 11:59:55 +0000

Marcos Weskamp announced on his blog yesterday a new application called newsmap, which displays the constantly changing panorama of Google’s News Aggregator (across countries too). [IMHO: This is probably one of the most useful applications in flash I have yet to see.]

“Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap’s objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.”

Commercial MythTV Box

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 11:28:23 +0000

An Australian company is selling pre-built MythTV-based PVRs for 1,799 AUD (~$1,345.50 USD) (via Boing Boing)

Although the price is roughly twice what it cost me to build my own MythTV box, I think this is a good trend.

There’s some excellent threads regarding this box on /. and the Myth-Users mailing list.

Missing: Silver 2000 Volkswagen Passat

Fri, 26 Mar 2004 23:13:19 +0000

So this morning I’m out walking my dog before I head off to work, chatting with my neighbor about the NCAA games at the Meadowlands the night before when I noticed that my car was missing from our driveway!

WTF!!!! It’s gone! Stolen while we slept during the night!

Called the police, insurance company, etc… Ugh! Frustrating!

However, if you happen to be in vicinity of West Orange, NJ and see a silver 2000 Volkswagen Passat with a black Thule roof rack, let me know, because apparently the driver “borrowed” it sometime early this morning without my consent.

Open Source Movies

Wed, 24 Mar 2004 11:18:51 +0000

I just read via Boing Boing that the copyright on the original Night of the Living Dead movie has expired and the entire film is available online for download via Archive.org! (Brewster Kahle, I’ll say it again, you rock!)

Incidentally, not only does the Internet Archive have a huge collection of Public Domain movies, it also has what appears to be a growing compilation of Open Source movies (and I don’t think they are talking about code)

ERP All Over Again

Tue, 23 Mar 2004 13:27:27 +0000

After taking week off to spend with the family I’m getting back into the swing of things and stealing some time to blog.

To motivate myself this morning I read an out of the ordinary article in Info World regarding how ERP implementations are coming back into favor (again).

The topic of the article is of particular interest to me because I’m in midst of an implementation of PeopleSoft 8.4 and seeing many of the themes of this article played out in real-time.

Gunning for Google Below the Radar

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 15:47:09 +0000

Stefanie Olsen of CNET News.com pulls together a good overview of the start-ups targeting Google’s dominance.

Some quotes from the article:

“…Google also faces Lilliputian threats from a fast-growing group of start-ups that hope to replicate its own meteoric rise from unknown upstart to Internet powerbroker….

At the top of the list are companies like Quigo and Industry Brains that aim to improve on search engine advertising techniques. A second group, including Mooter, Eurekster and Dipsie, are advancing ways for people to get personalized query results, something that both Google and Yahoo also are hoping to perfect. Others are developing search tools tailored to specific localities as well as visualization features to assist in better targeting search results around specific topics.”

WinMyth: MythTV Front End for Windows

Wed, 10 Mar 2004 15:31:50 +0000

I’ve got to try WinMyth on my Laptop. It’s simply a .Net-based Windows front end for MythTV.

And now with spring approaching, we can watch our Stevo outside!

However, I suppose I could simply re-boot with KnoppMyth, but since I run XP as my primary OS on my laptop, I’m hoping it will be simpler with WinMyth.

Note: WinMyth requires the dsMyth, which contains the DirectShow filters that enables playback of MythTV .nuv files on windows. (Also very cool!)

Personal Search Synergies

Tue, 09 Mar 2004 16:21:49 +0000

After the excitement of the last week, I’m finally catching up on work and subsequently blogging.

In particular last night I had a few minutes to check out one of the latest Desktop/Personal Search applications.

Specifically, Lookout Soft’s email search add-on for Outlook, which seems like a great tool.

In limited tests I found Lookout’s search accurate and fast (once the initial indexing was completed). In general I think Lookout and similar products such as X1 are immensely useful.

Nathaniel Delett Hatch

Wed, 03 Mar 2004 23:19:52 +0000

The last few days have been an amazing series of sleepless nights filled with dirty diapers and emotional highs that I suppose can best be appreciated as the right of passage for parenting.

On that note, please join Catherine and me in welcoming our son Nathaniel Delett Hatch to the world!

Mother and son are doing well. Pinto is very happy with his new pack member.

Update: More pictures here, with a RSS feed of course

MythTV Mailing List Archive with RSS Feeds

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 15:48:37 +0000

I was just looking for an RSS feed for the mythtv-users mailing list and I stumbled across David Jeske post regarding an “experimental archive browse/search software” that he co-developed with Brandon Long.

In addition to search and threaded views of posts, their tool also includes RSS feeds in many flavors … although the feeds only include summaries and there’s no Atom feed yet, but suffice it to say, I like this trend.

Death of the Password

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 14:17:44 +0000

CNET has an article that highlights some of Mr. Gates’ comments during a speech at the RSA Security conference held this week in SF.

In particular, the following comment, which we’ve heard before with the hype around Smart Cards, but hopefully the obvious end to passwords will come to fruition sooner this time than later (this time).

“Bill Gates predicted the demise of the traditional password because it cannot “meet the challenge” of keeping critical information secure.”

Local News and RSS Feeds

Tue, 24 Feb 2004 13:36:32 +0000

Perhaps I’m late to mention this because I missed the local news feature the first time I looked at Topix, but thanks to Tim Bray’s recent comments, I took another look at Topix’s beta targeted news service and to my delight they also have a RSS “feed for every ZIP code in the US, a feed for every public company, a feed for every sports team, a feed for every movie star, band and musician…and more” (via Rich Skrenta Blog)

Microsoft tests InfoPath update

Mon, 23 Feb 2004 11:07:58 +0000

Via CNET I just read that today Microsoft released an update for InfoPath

“Microsoft released a trial version Monday of its first major update to InfoPath, the new electronic forms application released last year as part of the Office family.”

“The beta version of Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes several significant new features, said Microsoft product manager Bobby Moore, along with the typical performance enhancements and bug fixes included in a service pack…”

Live Linux CDs

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 14:20:52 +0000

I’m constantly amazed at the influx of customized bootable Linux CDs (aka Live Linux)

For example, check out some of the distributions on this list

The distro’s geared toward kids and education are starting to look particularly interesting to me these days.

What Exit: Google’s Location Search

Thu, 19 Feb 2004 16:00:31 +0000

I’m starting to find the beta of Google’s Location Search to be very handy and much faster than using my old stand-by.

Doc has even noticed that you can find local hot-spots in your area via the tool.

If addition, I found a neat little trick to add a localized link to your favorites or “bookmarklet” for quick access.

Go to Google’s Location Search page, enter your address into the address field with nothing in the search terms area, then click search.

The New Yahoo in Town

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 22:25:14 +0000

So far I’ve found Yahoo’s new search to be for the most part comparable with Google in most respects. Even the interface is minimalist. Well, that is in relation to other more gregarious Yahoo interfaces.

I even like the XML/RSS restrictive search features. Albeit it would be cooler to be able to get the search results as an RSS feed.

However, I found that Yahoo’s image search is suspiciously similar to Google’s.
For example, compare these image search results on Google and Yahoo.

Longhorn is not Entrenched in WinFS

Tue, 17 Feb 2004 14:08:33 +0000

Tom’s Hardware Guide provides an in-depth review of Windows Future Storage (WinFS). Including some points I wasn’t quite sure of myselft…

“Microsoft will not be building an entirely new file system after all. Windows Future Storage (WinFS) is integrated into Longhorn as a modular extension to file management.”

“Technologically, Longhorn is in any case not entrenched in WinFS. The OS works just as well on FAT32 volumes. Conversely, WinFS can be used in other systems, too…”

I want my RSSTV!

Thu, 12 Feb 2004 14:31:43 +0000

I learned via PVRBlog about Andrew Grumet’s proposal to the TiVo and DIY PVR communities regarding sharing your recordings among friends via RSS — in essence, Andrew’s idea is an application of social networking, but perhaps you’re best served by reading through Andrew’s proposal.

Here are a few choice quotes:

“Today my TiVo is networked and programmable. Do-it-yourself PVRs are on the rise, and we know that the open source ones like MythTV are programmable. Perhaps some of the commercial ones are too. So maybe it’s time for us to flex some programmer muscle and code up our PVRs to leverage the power of the Net. We ought to at least be able to add the ability to share our great taste with friends. But probably a lot more.”

Product Blogging

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 15:40:42 +0000

I recently started reading Chris Pratley blog. Chris is the Microsoft OneNote Group Program Manager and it appears he has been publicly blogging for only a weeks. Yet in just a few entries, Chris not only provides unique insight into MSFT’s product development practices and techniques, but I also feel that the blog broadens the user community’s perspective of the product.

Specifically, you can also see how this type of public communication about a product (and an excellent one I might add) can spawn user feedback that will undoubtedly influence the product’s direction.

Canon 300D Digital Rebel in Paris

Tue, 10 Feb 2004 11:19:24 +0000

Alain Briot, described as one of the most successful landscape photographers working in the U.S. today, takes his Canon 300D Digital Rebel to Paris and details his intriguing conclusions on Luminous Landscape, such as the following:

“In evaluating the final results from my two weeks photographing in Paris, and while actually looking at prints done from my 300D images, I find these prints to be comparable to 4×5″, in terms of sharpness and overall image quality, in size up to 11×14 and maybe even larger”

Yet Another PVR Install Log

Fri, 06 Feb 2004 15:42:43 +0000

This time by IBM luminary Sam Ruby. The post details the start of his experience building a dedicated MythTV box based on Debian, but the wisdom will eventually…

“… be automated, published, and shared.”

“But, first I have to get it working repeatably…”

We expect nothing less from you Sam ;-)

More First Experiences with MythTV

Wed, 04 Feb 2004 23:17:37 +0000

It sounds like Tom Walsh over at Newsforge and I share many of the same first experiences and conclusions in regard to building and using a Home Theater PC (HTPC) based on MythTV.

Tom Walsh writes: “Would I say that anyone could put together their own PVR? No! It takes a level of competency and comfort with Linux to attempt such an undertaking. You need a good deal of patience with often time-confusing documentation. But if you persist, ask questions of those in IRC, and purchase high-end hardware, I am confident that you too will be satisfied with your results.”

Dave Elections

Tue, 03 Feb 2004 00:09:43 +0000

Prognosticator Dave Pell of Davenetics and NextDraft fame is at it again, this time with Electablog (RSS feed too), which Dave describes as…

“electablog provides a daily (and sometimes nightly) slicing and dicing of the mad dash that is America’s election cycle. Think of it as C-Span meets the Daily Show meets the little girl from Whale Rider meets Dennis Miller before he lost his mind.”

Dude! When do you sleep?

Site Search Still Sucks

Jim Rapoza over at eWeek laments over the sorry state of customer facing corporate search. Here are some good quotes from Jim’s article:

“…there is one thing about the Web that remains poor: site search capabilities.”

“As we said in the 1997 article, if visitors or customers can’t find what they want on your site, they will often simply leave.”

“The search capabilities on most company and content-oriented Web sites are as bad now as they were several years ago. In fact, eWEEK Labs was dismayed to find that we could have easily rerun an article we wrote back in June 1997 on how to improve site searches…”

CBGB’s Photographic History

The Internet Never Forgets

Thu, 29 Jan 2004 17:18:29 +0000

The other day I was browsing through the Wayback Machine and discovered a number of four-year-old weblog entries I posted to my then homegrown blog tool. They weren’t earth shattering entries, but I figured I’d bring them back home.

So, after a few quick regular expression hacks I managed to format them for import into MovableType (complete way links to archived pages on the Wayback Machine)

Brewster Kahle, you rock!

Mapping Google News

Tue, 27 Jan 2004 14:21:51 +0000

This is nifty:

Google News Map: “Why not parse Google News, find the first name match and draw a map with the latest headlines on the coordinates of the countries.”

My First Week with STeVo

Mon, 26 Jan 2004 16:32:14 +0000

Last week I finally completed building my Home Theater PC (HTPC) — aka PVR (personal video recorder), DVR (digital video recorder), homebrew-TiVo or what my wife Catherine lovingly calls STeVo ;-)

On my Wiki I put together some of my initial observations and install notes for those of you interested in building one these boxes yourself [more here]

Rich Client Ubiquity

Fri, 23 Jan 2004 16:07:21 +0000

Michael Sippey has a couple of good comments regarding Salesforce.com’s recently released “Office Edition,” which integrates its hosted SFA tightly with Microsoft Office:

“The company that championed went overboard with their “no software” positioning is now touting their integration into the world’s most widely used piece of personal productivity software. Which really isn’t that big of a deal, when you realize that this fits in perfectly with Microsoft’s strategy of morphing Office into a combination productivity app and very rich client…”

Virtual Ass Sniffing

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 16:52:09 +0000

From the Dogster about page:

“Why Dogster? We are dog freaks and computer geeks, unafraid to admit that when we see a dog, any dog, our heads turn and we howl with delight. Who wants a cookie? Who does? Well, we do and we think it’s about time there is a social networking application that is truly for the dogs. We hope you do too! All the dogs in the house say Wooooof! … Wooooooooof!”

MAGNET-URI Project

Wed, 21 Jan 2004 20:58:31 +0000

Kazaa is promoting a BitTorrent-like distributed P2P alternative that can be embedded in other P2P networks and web links, which they are calling Magnet links (via Anil Dash’s Links)

More here…

“Magnet links allows users to directly download large media files saving website creators and bloggers money on bandwidth costs and effectively propagating files on p2p networks that attract millions of users per day.”

“Magnet links” uses…

“MAGNET-URI, [which] is an open URI-scheme and supporting practices/code for enabling seamless integration between websites and locally-running utilities, such as file-management tools.”

Windows Services for Unix

Tue, 20 Jan 2004 17:42:58 +0000

Anil Dash put together a first-class summary of the *nix goodies found in Microsoft’s Windows Services for Unix, which was recently re-released as a free download (passport registration required).

Even though I’m using Samba at home to connect my Windows and Linux file systems, it might be nice (and more efficient) to use the native NFS support in WSfU instead.

Do you remember?

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 10:12:59 +0000

Bob Mould of Sugar and of course HÃ¼sker DÃ¼ now has a weblog.

Welcome Bob! I certainly do remember with many of your songs still cycling through my playlists.

Dude, I don’t quite get it?

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 17:10:06 +0000

I was (and still am) fond of what the OpenCola guys created back in the P2P buzz days, but this recent spin-off, “Dude, check this out!” [DCTO?], started by a few of the OC founders and development managers, has me scratching my head — albeit OC did as well. So perhaps I’ll simply reserve dismissal and keep an eye on the progress.

For the most part DCTO seems to be a hybrid of Metafilter, Technorati, Feedster and the Delicious social bookmarks manager.

MovableType Posting Client and NewsGator Plugin

Tue, 13 Jan 2004 10:41:50 +0000

Matt Berther has released version 2.0.0.1 of his MovableType posting client/plugin MovablePoster, which integrates nicely with NewsGator in addition to being a stand-alone Windows client. (of course I’m testing MovablePoster via this post :-)

MandrakeMove: Bootable Linux Distro

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 15:33:01 +0000

Looks like Mandrake has joined Knoppix in the bootable Linux CD distro trend…

“The MandrakeMove Download Edition is a new product based on Mandrake Linux 9.2 which provides a complete personal desktop operating system on a bootable CD. With MandrakeMove, bring your Mandrake Linux system everywhere: demo it, use it to connect to the Internet, listen to MP3s, watch DivX movies — the possibilities are endless! In addition, the MandrakeMove Boxed Edition provides the ability to save configuration and personal data to a USB key.”

NewsGator Online Services

Wed, 07 Jan 2004 23:57:17 +0000

Wow! Greg has been busy! In addition to announcing NewsGator 2.0, there will also be NewsGator Online Services, which includes three [new] content reader editions:

“Web Edition — NewsGator Online Services provides a web-based content reader, which allows users to read content they have subscribed to from any web browser.”
“POP Edition — NewsGator Online Services allows users to read their subscribed feeds in any email client. This includes Outlook Express and Eudora on Windows, Apple Mail and Entourage on the Mac, and any other email client that supports POP3. “
“Mobile Edition — NewsGator Online Services allows users to read their subscribed feeds on any mobile device that supports HTML, including mobile wireless phones and PDA’s. This is a powerful feature for road warriors who use mobile devices to access information while away from home or the office. “

Congratulations Greg! I can’t wait to use the new tools!

Remove Hidden Data from Office 2003/XP Documents

Wed, 07 Jan 2004 01:01:18 +0000

I’m in training all week. So I’m a bit out of touch, but I just spotted this little Office “add-in” released by Microsoft that “can permanently remove hidden data and collaboration data, such as change tracking and comments, from Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint files.” (via Lockergnome)

Understanding Open Source Software

Sun, 04 Jan 2004 17:03:04 +0000

This is a handy legal explination of Open Source Software by Red Hat’s Mark Webbink, Esq.:

“Mark Webbink, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Red Hat, Inc., wrote this article for corporate attorneys, explaining free and open source software and comparing various open source licenses, detailing how the GPL really works, explaining US copyright law, and listing some corporate law office best practices for software, from the standpoint of what policies are prudent for the corporate environment.
He also explains how derivative works are defined, touches on the indemnification issue and the difference between open source and “shared source”, and highlights some of the main myths and misconceptions about the GPL and open source.” (via /.)

Can Armstrong Win Six?

Sat, 03 Jan 2004 22:39:07 +0000

From a spectators point of view, it’s a little early to be thinking of the 2004 Tour de France, but Eurosport has an excellent analysis of Armstrong’s chances for six

“In the group of five-timers, however, Armstrong excels in one crucial domain: More than any of the others, Armstrong can endure the forces of an apocalyptic Tour de France — and still emerge with his yellow jersey intact.” Here’s why…

Retire the Wretched Fax Machine

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 13:59:41 +0000

Please! Let’s make 2004 the year we retire the wretched fax machine!

This is despite some of the valid points Paul Rubens of the BBC NEWS makes in his article Fax – the technology that refuses to die (via Gizmodo)

“The fax machine is an ancient piece of office equipment – it was invented in its earliest form by one Alexander Bain in 1843. It transmits the contents of pieces of paper, but these days the chances are high that anything on paper started as an electronic document. So why print it out and fax it when you can e-mail the digital version?”

PVR Parts Ordered

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 00:14:26 +0000

Since the hardware is now on order, I suppose I have committed myself to building what Catherine has branded “STeVo“, which is my feeble attempt at a constructing a homebrew PVR (personal video recorder).

Wish me luck!

Corporate Search in 2004?

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 23:59:23 +0000

Call it a prediction or stating the obvious, but I believe in the coming year corporate search solutions will be generating a steady buzz — driven primarily by innovative products that focus on unlocking the terabytes of knowledge squandered away in the reassess of the corporate network data stores. A position John Battelle seems to agree with in a recent post on the topic:

“…the overwhelming presumption of webwide search on your desktop is certainly rewiring how corporations think about their more private databanks. A robust market has grown up around “enterprise search,” (some companies, such as FAST, were spun off from consumer search companies, and Google maintains a unit focused on the market). There’s a crop of interesting startups to boot, including Tim Bray’s company, Antarctica. It’s entirely possible some of the next big ideas in search may well be developed in this more focused, less public field.”

Simple, Private File Sharing

Tue, 23 Dec 2003 17:21:18 +0000

As others have predicted, we will see more an more of these…

“MUTE File Sharing is a new peer-to-peer network that provides easy search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.”

I haven’t tried it yet, but it seems to be similar to Waste

Heliodisplay- Interactive Free-Space Display

Fri, 19 Dec 2003 10:14:50 +0000

IO2 Technology has demonstrated a 42″ prototype of what they are calling “Heliodisplay- Interactive Free-Space Display“, which is essentially display without a “screen” …

“The Heliodisplay projects full color streaming video into free space (i.e. air). It is plug-and-play compatible with most video sources (TV, DVD, computer, etc.). These non-holographic images can be fully interactive, allowing a hand or finger to select, navigate and manipulate — as if it were a virtual touch screen.”

Social Bookmarks Manager Right-Click Context Menu

Thu, 18 Dec 2003 10:58:00 +0000

Last night I hacked together a bit of JavaScript to add a right-click context menu posting option to Joshua Schachter’s Social Bookmarks Manager.

It works in a similar fashion to the bookmarklet, but is accessible via the right-click context menu in IE. It also adds the feature of pulling in any text selected on the page into the “extended” description field and remembers your del.icio.us/user path after the first invocation by storing it in a cookie.

Syndication Friendly Longhorn

Wed, 17 Dec 2003 12:05:53 +0000

Others have mentioned the impact of the embedded RSS capabilities that will be in Longhorn. This time however, it’s Scoble talking about the broader implications of a syndication friendly OS

“In Longhorn you can store a ton of metadata with your files. You can also find those files much more easily. Why is that important to syndication? Because now you have a file system that supports sending files out via a syndication feed, storing them locally, and then letting users get to them in new and interesting ways.”

Social Networking in the Enterprise

Tue, 16 Dec 2003 09:18:38 +0000

Ephraim Schwartz writes in InfoWorld about how Social Networking Software is targeting the corporate enterprise, with startups such as
ZeroDegrees,
Interface Software,
ContactNetwork, and
Spoke targeting CRM…

“Leveraging advances in communication and integration, a new kind of application — corporate social networking — is being folded into the CRM feature set.”

“Companies like Siebel and Salesforce.com are watching this space. These social networking companies will be gobbled up real quick,”

In addition, I believe that Microsoft and IBM are watching this space as well, because in my opinion Social Networking Software is a natural extension to enterprise messaging software such as Exchange and Domino.

Searching RSS Channels for News

Mon, 15 Dec 2003 14:05:02 +0000

Ray Matthews of Utah State Library Division has published an excellent tutorial on the various methods for searching RSS feeds. I think the best part is the comprehensive list of RSS-related search engines and tools.

Open Groupware Knoppix CD

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 17:20:16 +0000

Build a test Open Groupware server simply by rebooting your system with the
OGo Knoppix CD!

“OGo Knoppix CD is a bootable CD which contains a complete Debian GNU/Linux system, a fully configured OGo installation, a Cyrus server and some more Linux software.

I think this is worth a burn and reboot!

Building a Low-Budget TiVo Substitute

Thu, 11 Dec 2003 23:36:50 +0000

Gen over at PVRBlog pointed me to an excellent Slashdot thread that’s talking about building a homebrew digital video recorder on a budget, which is very timely for me.

In fact, I just updated my wiki with a rough spec for my own PVR. Now I need to refine and price out the equipment because I think I’m already over budget.

Blog without Blogging

Wed, 10 Dec 2003 22:26:46 +0000

No time to blog? Try Drunk Men Work Here’s free weblog service and utilize their Zero-Click posting technology

Best of all, there’s no learning required!

Social Network Search

Mon, 08 Dec 2003 09:57:25 +0000

You can create a social network search interface by using Micah Alpern’s ‘Blogs I Read’ Google Hack and/or Feedster. However it appears that Eurekster has taken it one step further:

“Eurekster uses the six-degrees of separation concept to learn from your extended network of contacts and deliver you prioritized results based on the success and proximity of the searches they have done.”

The public beta currently available seems to require a bit more effort than the average consumer “searcher” would be willing to afford. However, I would like to see how well this works within the corporate enterprise — assuming of course you can integrate much of the social network mechanics with existing enterprise directory services such as Active Directory or other LDAP-compliant systems.

Comcast’s HDTV and DVR Box

Thu, 04 Dec 2003 11:08:44 +0000

Matt Haughey’s PVRBlog gives some more insight about Comcast’s new PVR box:

“Comcast was testing the PVR waters, but it looks like the rollout will soon be going full-force.”

Personal Service Oriented Architecture

Wed, 03 Dec 2003 10:58:50 +0000

Michael Kanellos from CNET exposes some of the research at Microsoft to make search a greater part of its Windows operating system. The following are some interesting quotes from the article:

“Search in many ways is brute force,” Dumais said. “If the two of us type in a query, we get the same thing back, and that is just brain dead. There is no way an intelligent human being would tell us the same thing about the same topic.”

jpcache with Movable Type

Tue, 02 Dec 2003 12:12:06 +0000

I’m again using jpcache with my blog. This time however, I’ve integrated the PHP-based gzip and caching capabilities of jpcache with Movable Type.

You should see a significant speed improvement through out the site — especially on some of the longer category pages.

It was fairly easy to incorporate into MT since I’m already outputting PHP files from my MT templates. Basically, after following the uncomplicated install guide for jpcache and running a few sample test pages, all I needed to do was “prepend” the jpcache script to the end of my PHP files.

BitTorrent, Blogs and Web Proxies

Mon, 01 Dec 2003 11:28:00 +0000

Don Park gives a good overview of BitTorrent, but also provides an interesting perspective on how blog software in general could utilize BitTorrent technology.

“In my opinion, flash flood nature of blogs will be well served by BitTorrent. Likewise, link-happy nature of blogs will complement BitTorrent well. Ultimately, I think a tailored variation of BitTorrent should be built into blog clients and servers for download sharing of feeds, images, enclosures, and other blog-related resources. BitTorrent will encourage media-rich blog posts without applying power-law to the bloggers’ wallet. BitTorrent means blog torrents.”

Linux Home Theater PC HOWTO

Sun, 30 Nov 2003 21:15:18 +0000

Brandon has assembled a comprehensive Linux Home Theater PC HOWTO, which is definitely worth a read if you’re planning on building your own Homebrew TiVo-like device.

Disable MovableType’s Send Entry Script

Wed, 26 Nov 2003 09:24:43 +0000

The file ‘mt-send-entry.cgi’ in a default MovableType installation can be used to relay spam. If you’re not using the script to allow your users to “Send this Entry by Email”, you can safely remove the file from your MT install or change the permissions so that the script cannot execute.

However, if you need the functionality Ben Trott has posted a fix, but IMHO, you’d be safer pushing this function client-side using a mailto with some JavaScript

Finance for Geeks

Tue, 25 Nov 2003 16:50:33 +0000

Eric Sink, the man behind Marketing for Geeks, has just published an article for MSDN called Finance for Geeks, which is an overview of accounting principals from the “technologists” perspective.

Definitely worth a read if you’re starting a software company or working with finance systems.

Home-Brew PVRs on Linux

Mon, 24 Nov 2003 14:11:33 +0000

Joe Stump over on the O’Reilly DevCenter puts together a well-rounded overview of The State of Home-Brew Personal Video Recorders on Linux (Think: Open Source TiVo). The article also includes a good threaded discussion as well. Well worth a read.

Incidentally, I’ve decided to investigate putting together my own PVR. I was inspired mainly by a recent InfoWorld article on the savings you can expect by build your own systems.

I’ve set my budget to be about $400 and so far I’m leaning toward using MythTV and ideally the KnoppMyth Bootable CD MythTV Install to make things easy, which is based on the amazing Knoppix Live CD Debian Distro.

Google to Atom

Sun, 23 Nov 2003 13:12:47 +0000

The Well-Formed Web has made available a
Google2Atom web service that will generate an Atom feed from a Google search query

However, you’ll need your Google API key to generate the feed.

JiWire: WiFi Hotspot Directory

Sat, 22 Nov 2003 11:11:49 +0000

I haven’t looked for a WiFi hotspot directory in quite some time, but I was just alerted to JiWire via Street Tech this morning and I must agree with Gareth that it is indeed comprehensive.

In fact, I learned that my local public library has its own free public hotspot!

Stolen Domain Names

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 11:04:50 +0000

It’s appalling to hear that VeriSign (aka Network Solutions | Internic) is STILL letting people steal domain names!

“…it appears that it is still possible to steal domains with the minimum of effort. We have been contacted by the owner of the valuable domain DVDmovies.com who was amazed, only last month, to find that his domain had been moved and registered with another company, without his knowledge.”

“That the registrar at fault was no less than VeriSign – owner of all .com and .net domains – makes it worse. The fact that the company was also recently chastised by the US Appeals Court and ordered to pay millions of dollars in compensation to the owner of Sex.com for wrongly transferring his domain makes it all the more incredible.”

Presentation Layer of Search

Wed, 19 Nov 2003 13:47:48 +0000

Raul Valdes-Perez, president of Vivisimo is quoted in
an article at New Scientist about improvements to the user experience of search interfaces. In particular he is talking about Google News, MSN’s newly announced Newsbot and Vivisimo as yet to be released spontaneous clustering approach.

“[Raul Valdes-Perez] says that the engineering of search and rank algorithms “has gone about as far as it can go”. Now the way to improve the user experience is to work on the next layer of algorithms that determine the presentation of the “search and rank” results.”

Web of Human Knowledge

Wed, 19 Nov 2003 11:11:50 +0000

Ross Mayfield links to a fascinating article on
Boxes and Arrows by Alex Wright about Paul Otlet: The forgotten forefather of information architecture.

“In 1934, years before Vannevar Bush dreamed of the memex, decades before Ted Nelson coined the term “hypertext,” Paul Otlet envisioned a new kind of scholar’s workstation: a moving desk shaped like a wheel, powered by a network of hinged spokes beneath a series of moving surfaces. The machine would let users search, read and write their way through a vast mechanical database stored on millions of 3×5 index cards.”

Popularity Metrics

Tue, 18 Nov 2003 16:09:35 +0000

In Tim Bray’s latest essay on search he points out what I feel is an often overlooked aspect of Google’s PageRank when it is applied to enterprise search:

“[PageRank] Won’t Work for You If you’re writing or deploying a search engine for your Intranet or product catalogue or portal, Google’s PageRank trick probably won’t work, because most Intranet and catalogue and portal pages don’t point at each other. The Web is unique in that it has millions of authors independently making decisions about what’s important; aggregating those decisions is what makes PageRank so powerful.”

Disposable Email Addresses

Mon, 17 Nov 2003 10:38:26 +0000

I order to protect myself from a potential deluge of spam from suspicious service offerings, I wanted to use a disposable email address.

Of course Google turned up a gem, which I had heard of before, but never used called Spamgourmet

Their service is simple, but clever and best of all free! Basically, after you register a valid email address, you can then create a temporary email address, with a limited message forward limit, at any time.

Sleep Is Now An Option

Fri, 14 Nov 2003 16:23:40 +0000

Well, in light of the fact that within a few months, sleep will likely become a scarce commodity for me and Catherine. So, I think perhaps I should investigate the “Sleep Is Now An Option” drug.

Provigil … was a drug originally developed to treat narcolepsy, the inability to stay awake. Now Cephalon, the maker of Provigil, has received a letter of approval from the FDA extending the approved uses of the drug to treatment of jet-lag and swing-shift syndrome.
In reality the drug is set to replace the caffeine in No-Doze as the all-nighter anti-sleep aid of choice. In fact, it’s much better than No-Doze – with Provigil, you can literally stay awake for days, alert and with a remarkable lack of side effects. “(via SciScoop)

Further info on Wallop

Thu, 13 Nov 2003 09:36:03 +0000

Mary Jo Foley of Microsoft Watch interviews Microsoft social computing group researcher Lili Cheng, which reveals some more insight (including screen shots) into MSFT’s social-networking software code-named “Wallop“:

“We’ve been really interested in blogs, wikis, authoring and syndication around RSS, and social networking software in general,” Cheng tells Microsoft Watch. “We were imagining how these things could combine. And Wallop is our first experiment in this space.”

“A lot of these ideas (RSS, wikis) are more novel and intriguing,” she says. “They are about aggregating sites and getting more information out. It matches the way people communicate.”

Pacman via Excel

Wed, 12 Nov 2003 00:09:10 +0000

I’m truly amazed! I wish I knew Japanese to provide more details, but apparently Nobuya Chikada has created an excellent remake of the classics Pacman and Space Invaders in Microsoft Excel (Yes, I said Excel!) Do check it out. (Link via Les Orchard)

Note: you’ll need to lower your Excel macro security level to get it to run (at least that’s was what I had to do in Excel 2003), but it’s certainly worth it!

Google Deskbar

Fri, 07 Nov 2003 11:22:50 +0000

I usually don’t like to add too much extra paraphernalia to the default Windows desktop. However, after about an hour of sporadic usage, I think the Google Deskbar is on its way to becoming required gear for me.

“Google Deskbar enables you to search with Google from any application without lifting your fingers from the keyboard. Installs easily in your Windows taskbar.”

Morphix Modular Live-CD Linux Distribution

Thu, 06 Nov 2003 12:25:29 +0000

Morphix is similar to Knoppix in that it’s a complete bootable Linux Distro on CD. The main difference however is that Morphix is modular — with ISO packages ranging from light-weight GUI to gamer

“Morphix is a modular distribution, with live-cd support (you burn the CD, you put it in your CD-Rom drive, you boot and it works… no harddisk-installation necessary, doesn’t touch your data). Also, installing Morphix on a harddisk is a breeze, if you want to. Just click on the icon on the desktop, or choose the installer from the morphix/babytux submenu.”

Ask Microsoft?

Wed, 05 Nov 2003 12:57:39 +0000

I just read this via /. about Microsoft’s interest in other search engines:

“Microsoft had also been linked with buys of any of the remaining search players, including Ask Jeeves and Looksmart, though the company has recently dumped Looksmart after deciding its results did not match up to those of its other search partners, notably Overture.”

Stopping spam with the Anti-Spam-SMTP-Proxy

Wed, 05 Nov 2003 11:09:10 +0000

This seems like a smart approach: Stop spam at the SMTP-level with Whitelists and Bayesian filtering using the Anti-Spam-SMTP-Proxy (ASSP):

“The Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP) Server project aims to create an open source platform-independent SMTP Proxy server which implements whitelists and Bayesian filtering to rid the planet of the blight of unsolicited email (UCE). UCE must be stopped at the SMTP server. Anti-spam tools must be adaptive to new spam and customized for each site’s mail patterns. This free, easy-to-use tool works with any mail transport and achieves these goals requiring no operator intervention after the initial setup phase.”

Google is no sure thing

Wed, 05 Nov 2003 09:41:49 +0000

Quotes from an article in The Economist about Google’s ability to sustain its market-share.

“For Google to stay permanently ahead of other search-engine technologies is almost impossible, since it takes so littleÂ—only a bright idea by another set of geeksÂ—to lose the lead.”

“Yahoo!, in fact, will probably be the first to attack. It now … has under its own roof all the elements of the business model that made Google such a success.

Tomacco Plant

Tue, 04 Nov 2003 16:04:16 +0000

LOL! This happens to be based on one of my favorite Simpson’s Episodes, but apparently a fan has created a real-life Tomacco Plant! There’s a link to a KPTV News Report and a thread on Slashdot regarding this “amazing science development”.

Mmmmm, Tomacco!

Enterprises Want Search

Tue, 04 Nov 2003 10:23:56 +0000

Cathleen Moore’s article in InfoWorld this week regarding the necessity of a Enterprise Search strategy should be considered “stating the obvious”.

Some excellent quotes from the article:

“The explosion of corporate content “both in the physical form of documents, records, and data, and in the human form of personal knowledge” has pressed companies into a crisis: Find a way to tap into and effectively leverage that knowledge, or watch your company’s most vital assets wither on the vine.”

Latest about Longhorn

Mon, 03 Nov 2003 15:25:22 +0000

John Carroll over at ZDNet has posted, IMHO one of the best overviews of Longhorn to date coming off of last weeks PDC.

Here are some good quotes from the article:

“I’ve noticed before that it is much easier to create reasonably complex user interfaces in HTML than in WIN32. For instance, it’s far easier to write a “skinnable” web site than it is to write a “skinnable” WIN32 application. Granted, you could do practically anything you wanted in WIN32, but if you wanted to escape the look and feel imposed by WIN32 controls, you had to perform a bunch of programming gymnastics.”

IT on a Budget

Sat, 01 Nov 2003 21:46:05 +0000

I was reminded of this great special report in InfoWorld about IT on the cheap via Lockergnome

“From refurbished hardware and eBay deals to do-it-yourself setups, everything you need to know about buying equipment on the cheap.”

It’s certainly worth a read or bookmark.

Microsoft pursuit of Google revealed

Fri, 31 Oct 2003 13:50:43 +0000

I was in meetings all morning. So, I missed this report earlier, but Dave just alerted me to the Microsoft and Google news.

“Microsoft approached Google, the internet search engine, two months ago to discuss a partnership or even a merger it emerged today.”

“Google showed little interest in overtures from the company that dominates the market for operating systems.”
(via The Guardian)

This is certainly interesting, yet given MSFT’s track record in this respect, the news is not surprising. My guess is that the initial rejection by Google spured MSFT’s recent MSN Search push.

Doh! The cruller is no more!

Thu, 30 Oct 2003 16:32:31 +0000

Donuts?

“Walk into any local Dunkin’ Donuts and you can purchase a caramel-swirl latte or sourdough bagel, a pumpkin muffin or powdered Munchkin. You can get a jelly stick, chocolate stick, or chocolate-coconut stick, pastries that are shaped somewhat like conventional crullers and contain roughly the same lip-smacking number of empty calories.”

JavaScript: Search word hit-highlighting

Wed, 29 Oct 2003 15:10:29 +0000

I found searchhi, which is a slick JavaScript library by Stuart Langridge that will highlight keywords in your documents when the referring link to you page comes in from a seach engine such as Google:

“searchhi JavaScript library is a way of automatically highlighting words on a page when that page was reached by a search engine. In essence, if you search, for example, Google for some words, and then follow a link from the search results to a searchhi enabled page, the words you searched for will be highlighted on that page.”

Google eyes book search

Wed, 29 Oct 2003 13:25:09 +0000

In light of Amazon’s recent book search service, this report on CNet about Google in talks with publishers to provide a similar service seems a little strange.

“Google is in talks with several publishers to build a service that would allow Web surfers to search the full text of books online” (via CNet)

IMHO, the service does make sense for Amazon as a way to drive more consumers to book purchases and I suppose it could also turn another revenue source for Google — certainly as a research tool for business and academia, but is the market big enough to support the effort?

Movable Type Blog Migration

Tue, 28 Oct 2003 11:58:19 +0000

Over the last week, usually in the mid-to-late evenings — after Catherine falls asleep, I have been slowly migrating my B2-based blog to Movable Type.

I must say that for the most part the process has been fairly straight forward. The MT system installed smoothly and customizing the core MT templates, while time-consuming getting them to fit my old B2 template, were rather easy and extremely flexible.

However, during the migration process I had some interesting obstacles. In particular, I wanted to seamlessly maintain the entire URL-space of my old B2 blog with my new MT blog. My initial thinking was that with a little data-scrubbing and massaging I could export the MySQL table data from B2 and import the data into the MT table-space.

Amazon’s Full Text Search

Thu, 23 Oct 2003 02:10:04 +0000

Amazon has now extended its search to include the full text of over 120,000 books. It will even do hit-highlighting on the actual pages that match. Slick!

Office 2003 and the Google Web Service API

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 05:10:15 +0000

This article about integrating Google into the research pane of Office is from a few months ago, but I think relevant given that today is the official launch of Office 2003

Hybrid Application Manager

Fri, 17 Oct 2003 12:10:29 +0000

AppRocket seems to be a hybrid application manager with “intelligent search” that appears to be based on LaunchBar for Mac OS X. (link via Les Orchard)

“AppRocket uses a very special search algorithm to zip through thousands of items and only show you that which is most relevant.”

Just a note however, AppRocket requires .Net 1.1.

Is Comment Spam Cost Effective?

Thu, 16 Oct 2003 10:10:54 +0000

I’m getting my fair share of comment spam like many other bloggers, but I can’t imagine that the cost/time ratio is actually worth it.

I think Sam Ruby sums it up best:

“65 minutes to create. Carefully crafted to appear to be on topic. 10 seconds to wipe out.”

LOL! Dumb asses!

What is WinFS?

Wed, 15 Oct 2003 12:10:17 +0000

J. Wilcox over at Microsoft Monitor tries to determine if the new file system, dubbed WinFS, in Microsoft’s NG:OS Longhorn, will indeed be considered “new“:

“If Mr. LaMonica’s WinFS description is accurate, then WinFS really is Microsoft database technology running on top of the existing NTFS file system.”

Salesforce.com on Social Networking

Wed, 15 Oct 2003 10:10:23 +0000

Ross Mayfield posted an excerpt from an interview with the CSO of Salesforce.com in regard to Social Networking. The interview was conducted by IBDN, but I wasn’t able to find a direct link. However, here’s a quote from the M2M blog:

IBDN: We know that consumers will pay to find a date, but will they pay to find business contacts?

FULBRIGHT: Yes, one name for them is “leads,” and sales and marketing organizations pay thousands of dollars for leads today. Leads are the life-blood of every business. Another type of paid business contact is called “candidates,” and again companies have been paying recruiters or internal referrals thousands of dollars for great candidates for at least 50 years.

NYC Subway RSS Feeds

Tue, 14 Oct 2003 05:10:46 +0000

Heh, RobotPolishers’ has created RSS feeds of MTA’s services updates for the NYC Subway over at Disorient Express:

“So out of frustration, sheer geekiness and a desire to toy around with RSS, I decided to put together some feeds of the MTAs service updates, based on a program scanning their own weekly website updates.”

Jahia: Integrated Java CMS and Portal

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 03:10:52 +0000

I had a chance to take a look at the new 4.0 version of Jahia and I must say that I am very impressed. As 100% Java solution, it’s a competitive alternative to SharePoint.

Jahia is not quite Open Source however, you do get the source code, but the license model is “Jahia Collaborative Source License (JCSL)”, which roughly means that you can either pay for the license in dollars or pay with code contributions to the project. Certainly an interesting model that is similar to Sun Collaborative Source License (SCSL).

Search Engine for Research Documents

Wed, 08 Oct 2003 03:10:30 +0000

Penn State University has released a new search engine called SMEALSearch, which is focused on indexing academic and business white papers, articles and reports.

“SMEALSearch is a niche search engine that searches the web and catalogs academic articles as well as commercially produced articles and reports that address any branch of Business. The search engine crawls websites of universities, commercial organizations, research institutes and government departments to retrieve academic articles, working papers, white papers, consulting reports, magazine articles, and published statistics and facts.”

Collaborative Search

Thu, 02 Oct 2003 11:10:32 +0000

Unfortunately, I haven’t been using any IM clients recently due to the fact that their usage is banned and blocked where I work (more on that sometime).

Anyway, it was intriguing to read via Jeremy Zawodny Blog about Yahoo’s new IMVironment (e.g. plug-in) for its Messenger client that allows users to search collaboratively.

“Pull up a map or yellow pages listing together instantly. Working with a colleague in another city? Search together in real time for info, images, news…”

Email-2-RSS

Wed, 01 Oct 2003 01:10:56 +0000

I’ve actually been thinking of cobbling together a similar service that I could use to aggregate all of my various POP3 and Web-based email accounts as RSS feeds, which I could then read via NewsGator in Outlook.

I know- I know this sounds convoluted, but this idea was basically spurred because POP3, IMAP and many web-based mail services have been blocked via the corporate firewall here where I work, which has been instituted because of the rash email-based worms and of course the abundance of spam.

Google acquires Kaltix

Tue, 30 Sep 2003 05:09:37 +0000

Well, that was quick… Here’s quote via San Jose Biz Journal

“Kaltix Corp., a search technology startup, has been purchased by Internet search engine company Google Inc., of Mountain View. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.”

(Thanks for the heads-up Anil.)

I posted something about this back in August, but based on their “published research that claims to offer a way to compute search results nearly 1,000 times faster than what’s possible using current methods”, it seems like a smart move for Google.

Serendipitous Data Connections

Mon, 29 Sep 2003 01:09:25 +0000

CNET News.com has an article on a new Wharton Team that appears to be using k-log-like techniques to rediscover serendipitous data connections.

“Although an unprecedented amount of information about technology is now available online, Ranieri notes that “everything is set up to look for exactly what you are looking for,” rather than to assist in the process of finding crossover, innovative applications. In addition, information is “stored in silos” that are hard for non-specialists to penetrate. Until now, there has been no way to search for attributes like “lighter, faster or quicker” with technology categories, he says.
…
The Wharton team’s new process aims to meet this challenge by using a methodology that “combines computer research techniques with human research techniques,” MacMillan says. Kimbrough likens the new process to the methodology Google uses. Although Google’s search engine is automated, it exploits information that thousands of individuals (at no cost to Google) painstakingly collected and loaded onto their Web sites. Kimbrough explains that Google’s page-ranking algorithm “exploits tons of work (done by) people who put Java links on their Web sites; it exploits their manual labor.”
…
the Wharton team’s new process searches through documents and makes connections between highly technical descriptions of properties–often familiar only to narrow “silos” of technologies–and broader terms that could suggest market applications to those who work in other areas. As Ranieri describes it, “We found a clever way to make a link between attributes and markets.”
…
Although it’s too early for developers to discuss technical details, Kimbrough acknowledges that this new process requires a significant amount of human input. “In part, we use human beings to create databases of attributes that can be matched up.”

Scopeware Personal Information Management

Thu, 25 Sep 2003 09:09:49 +0000

Scopeware is a personal desktop search tool similar to X1, but with a different take on the user experience.

I haven’t tested it yet, but it seems to be worth a look.

Scopeware also offers a server-based solution.

Search:NG

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 12:09:16 +0000

Fredrick Marckini talks to advertising pioneer Jack Trout about exactly how Microsoft can trump Google…

Jack Trout, “says Google is dangerously close to becoming the generic in the space. Should that happen, the company would be open to brand and product positioning attacks on multiple fronts.”

[Fredrick Marckini] “…asked Jack Trout about the possibility of Microsoft gaining search market share by adding a search interface to its new OS as many expect it will — effectively creating a structural barrier to all other search engines by saving steps, eliminating the need to even launch a browser: “You’ve just defined a ‘next generation’ idea,” he said. “This way you make search an operating system component. That’s tough to unseat.”

Microsoft Bets on New Search Technology

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 02:09:13 +0000

Not much new in this AP article on Yahoo, but worth a read anyway…

…many analysts are most closely watching Microsoft’s project to develop its own indexing and searching system for the Internet Â— and how the technology might later be deployed throughout the company.”

VeriSign Still Sucks

Wed, 17 Sep 2003 11:09:19 +0000

However, the BIND community’s emergency response is definitely a gem!

Intraspect sold to Vignette

Tue, 16 Sep 2003 09:09:54 +0000

Via Due Diligence

“Enterprise collaboration and groupware company Intraspect Software has been sold to public company Vignette for $20m in cash and stock.”

Tim Oren has a nice quote about the space Introspect served too…

“This one’s a cautionary tale not only on the late-90’s investing boom/bust (Intraspect’s history covers nearly the whole saga), but on the long selling cycles and difficulty of extracting revenue from businesses for software of this type. Social Software advocates and investors take note.”

Collaboration Culture

Fri, 12 Sep 2003 12:09:31 +0000

Joe Wilcox of Jupiter’s Microsoft Monitor Research Service talks about MSFT’s collaboration culture within business groups and relates it to what former Apple executive Michael Mace wrote in his rant about Who Killed Apple Computer?:

From Collaboration: The Microsoft Way:
“Microsoft’s collaborative culture makes the company very responsive to competitive threats. The character also means Microsoft can quickly focus resources from multiple product divisions when executives see there is a need. These could be seen during the so-called browser wars with Netscape, when Microsoft rapidly churned out new Internet Explorer features and caught up with Netscape in about 18 months and three product versions…”

Reinventing Products

Wed, 10 Sep 2003 03:09:24 +0000

John sent me this article in Business 2.0, which seems to be demonstrating the application of Business Process Re-engineering in the Consumer Product Development area:

James Dyson says, “It is much easier to reinvent the wheel because the faults of the existing system are fairly obvious,” he contends. “The hard part is to find a solution that everyone who has come before you has not found.”

“Dyson has found ways to improve on such basic appliances as the vacuum cleaner, the washing machine, and the wheelbarrow.” [more here]

Personal Search Tool

Mon, 08 Sep 2003 10:09:13 +0000

I just tested X1 for a few minutes and I’m truly impressed with its ability to quickly index and search my local repository of files and email messages.

“X1 is free PC software that uses an advanced indexing process that lets you find any word in any email or file on your computer, in under a second.”

The Pro version of X1 is just under $50 (US) and adds the ability to search network shares and native file preview options as well.

Web Recall

Fri, 05 Sep 2003 11:09:34 +0000

SnapStream Personal Video Station 3.0 review

Tue, 02 Sep 2003 11:09:45 +0000

Matt Haughey of PVRBlog has an extensive review of SnapStream Personal Video Station 3.0:

“Would I trade a TiVo for a small PC running Snapstream? After playing with it for a few weeks, I’d have to say it is certainly possible. A home theater PC can do more than a TiVo (play videos, any audio format, photos, show the web on your TV, etc), and this package certainly covers the TV recording features that TiVo pioneered.”

Enterprise Social Networks

Fri, 29 Aug 2003 04:08:46 +0000

Don Park paints a picture of blog and wiki convergence in the following quote:

“Imagine posts and comments flowing from blogs to wikis like the way streams feed into lakes. Got the picture yet? Now think of a blog category as a wiki page. The picture changes so that the blog becomes a mountain and categories become the streams running down the side of the mountain in all directions toward wikis into which streams from other mountains also feed into.”

Remote Shutdown

Thu, 28 Aug 2003 09:08:30 +0000

I was just helping out a friend who was trying to remotely restart a server that was somewhat locked-up and I found this gem on the JSI FAQ, which describes a “feature” of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) on Windows 2000 & XP that will enable you to remotely restart a server.

Q: How can I log off or shutdown a remote Windows 2000 computer? (Quoted from the JSI FAQ)
A: You can do this from your Windows 2000 desktop.

Collaboration and Process

Wed, 27 Aug 2003 12:08:49 +0000

Clay Shirky writes the following in his piece about, “Wikis, Grafitti, and Process:”

“A wiki in the hands of a healthy community works. A wiki in the hands of an indifferent community fails. The software makes no attempt to add ‘process’ in order to keep people from doing stupid things. Instead, it provides more flexibility, a crazy amount of flexibility, and intoxicating amount of flexibility, allowing massive amounts of stupidity and intentional damage to be done, at will, by roving and anonymous posters. And it provides rollback.”

HOWTO Guides: Hard Drive Data Recovery

Tue, 26 Aug 2003 09:08:38 +0000

It’s always good to keep HOWTO guides like this around.

Of course you can never find them when you need’em because the system you bookmarked the guide is the one that’s dead. So I’ll just post it here :-)

SoBig Blackout Blaster!

Fri, 22 Aug 2003 04:08:33 +0000

Via Microsoft Watch from Mary Jo Foley

“Rumors about SoBig and Blaster are propagating almost as fast as the worms themselves. The latest rumor circulating on Bugtraq: Blaster caused last week’s east coast blackout. Some are speculating that Blaster brought down the monitoring and control systems at a power-plant master terminal. Meanwhile, on the SoBig front, Gartner analysts are estimating that damages incurred by businesses from the e-mail worm could top $50 million.”

HyperText File System

Fri, 22 Aug 2003 04:08:26 +0000

Beau Lebens’ Dented Reality has some interesting projects, like this one…

“HTFS is a complete, database-driven “file-system” on the concept of hyper-text … The basic idea of this system is …[that]… files, emails, notes and links can be stored as unique items – ONCE, managed by a database.” [more]

Hmm, sounds a bit like Ted Nelson’s Xanadu.

I’d love to see some demos of it, maybe sample code too.

Canon EOS Digital SLR Rebel

Thu, 21 Aug 2003 05:08:05 +0000

Lately, I’ve been doing some research into the latest crop of Digital SLR cameras from Canon. Of course, I’d be nowhere without the help from my friend and coworker Les, who needs to get his weblog/photolog online ASAP (but that’s another story).

Anyway, initially I was led to the Canon EOS 10D, by Anders and Les, which is an awesome pro-consumer camera, based on the reviews and sample pictures that that I’ve seen.

Although, at roughly $1,200 – $1,500(US), the price of the 10D is still way more than I want to spend (even with the imaginary money I’m willing to put towards a new digital camera to replace my aging Olympus 2020-Zoom.)

You write like a girl

Wed, 20 Aug 2003 08:08:52 +0000

Damn!

Cool tech though.

Office 2003 Pricing is Set

Tue, 19 Aug 2003 05:08:49 +0000

Via Microsoft Monitor:

“Office Standard 2003 full version will sell for $399 and the Pro version for $499. Respectively, upgrades will cost $239 and $329.”

However, InfoPath and OneNote will sell for $199 each, which seems a bit steep — especially if they want to get them deep into the enterprise.

I still don’t get MSFT’s strategy with InfoPath. I think they should at least have a stripped down version or “reader” (like Acrobat) that they just give away.

More Punk Nostalgia

Mon, 18 Aug 2003 11:08:11 +0000

The site is extremely slow right now, but with a little patience…

“You will find here [Philippe Carly’s] entire collection of concert and candid photos of popular and not so popular “rock”, “new wave” and “punk” groups from the 70s, 80s and 00s”

Wow! It’s like I’m back at CBGB’s all over again!

Teoma eclipsed Google?.

Mon, 18 Aug 2003 11:08:02 +0000

The Wall Street Journal covers Google’s closest competitors (except Microsoft [for now]):

“Some search industry gurus even preach heresy: that Google isn’t the field’s technology leader anymore.”

Teoma’s providing more value by providing refinements from the “community”

“Teoma’s software has, in effect, found the “community” associated with your search, and is listing what related topics that community is “discussing.” For “power blackout,” the refinements Friday included “electrical surge” and “cost of downtime.”

PHP Photo Gallery Script

Thu, 14 Aug 2003 08:08:12 +0000

I tested the Coppermine Photo Gallery Script last night and it was very easy to install and best of all (IMO), it comes with a Windows XP Publishing Wizard plug-in that allows you to select a group or folder of images and “Publish” them to your Gallery. It will even create thumbnails and preview images.

Nice!

Craigslist to RSS

Wed, 13 Aug 2003 09:08:20 +0000

Personalizing PageRank

Mon, 11 Aug 2003 09:08:09 +0000

An article on CNet about a new search startup out of Stanford (link via Anil)

Kaltrix — “A stealth start-up out of Stanford University is hoping to raise the heat on one of the toughest problems in Web search–and possibly out-Google Google in the process.”

“Without discussing Kaltix’s plans publicly, the company’s founders have published research that claims to offer a way to compute search results nearly 1,000 times faster than what’s possible using current methods.”

Visual Enterprise Search Tool

Thu, 07 Aug 2003 03:08:18 +0000

John sent me a link to KartOO Technology’s search engine and visualization UI that was “developed in Flash to present a friendly and clear visual interface while integrating the graphic charter of your company.”

You can see here what I think is a demo of the search and flash-based UI that’s actually meta-search engine of sorts that visually maps result-sets in the UI.

I wonder what their pricing mode is for these tools.

File Sync Tool for Unix and Windows

Wed, 06 Aug 2003 03:08:31 +0000

Unison seems to be a file-system agnostic replacement for the Robocopy tool found in the NT Resource Kit and others…

“Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.”

SMTP in a Spam-ridden world

Mon, 04 Aug 2003 02:08:03 +0000

CNET News.com has a well researched article on whether this is the End of the road for SMTP in a world that is deluged with Spam.

Some interesting quotes…

“The flaws are so severe, some now believe, that the protocol that gave rise to the most significant explosion in written communication since Gutenberg may no longer be capable of serving its purpose in a world of con artists, pornographers, virus authors and unscrupulous spammers.”

PageRank within the Enterprise

Wed, 30 Jul 2003 10:07:58 +0000

Tim Bray’s latest On Search essay alludes to the effectiveness of Google’s PageRank within the Enterprise:

“…even if it turns out that popularity [PageRank] is the key thing for Internet search, the Internet is a very special place, and itÂ’s quite unlikely that popularity is the killer metadatum for the whole universe of search applications.”

However, I suspect that part of what’s in works with Google’s acquisition and integration of Blogger is to augment PageRank in the enterprise. Yet, utilizing blogs internally to enhance the PageRank-ing of documents and resources indexed with the Google Search Appliance will require some ramp-up time to become useful.

Focus on the Process not the Feature

Fri, 25 Jul 2003 10:07:36 +0000

I alluded to this the other day, but the following from Jupiter Research sums up MSFTÂ’s marketing positioning strategy for the new Office System, which will also include Longhorn and I suspect enterprise search.

Basically, they are not selling features or services, but “solutions” to very specific business processes.

“Microsoft is putting less emphasis on individual applications and product features and more emphasis on what people can do with Office System. The strategy also synchs with other products, such as development of Windows Longhorn. Earlier, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates discussed “scenarios” the company is using to develop Longhorn. One scenario might be a teenager interested in listening to music. Microsoft has taken a similar approach to Office System, looking at information scenarios Office users confront daily.”

Study shows blogs are under-represented in Google

Thu, 24 Jul 2003 02:07:47 +0000

Interesting study released by Microdoc News debunking (mathematically) that blogs are clogging Google

[Estimations show] “there are about 150 million webpages that belong to blogs. Out of 3.8 billion webpages 150 million is about 3.9% of all pages in Google and blogs appear in the top ten results only 2.1% of the time. It seems to me that blogs are being under-represented and not over represented in Google.

Tyler Hamilton Wins His First Tour de France Stage

Armstrong Now Leads By 1’07”

Mon, 21 Jul 2003 11:07:47 +0000

Kudos to all the riders in “Le Tour” this year!!

I was on the edge of my seat, even while reading the live updates online of today’s stage 15.

All I can say is WOW! I can’t wait to watch the replay tonight!

“At the end of the 15th stage, Armstrong has increased his lead over Ullrich. The American is now 1’07” ahead of the German in the generall classification. Vinokourov began the day within 18″ of the overall lead, he finished it with a deficit of 2’45”.

Ullrich is lurking

Fri, 18 Jul 2003 05:07:11 +0000

At least Armstrong still retains the overall lead with 34 seconds over Ullrich, but …

“Ullrich … powered across the 29 miles of rolling vineyards in 58 minutes, 32 seconds to take the Tour’s 12th stage. He was the only rider of 167 to finish in less than an hour.”(via ESPN)

And…

“Immediately after crossing the finish line in fifth place, American Tyler Hamilton — competing with a broken collarbone — stumbled off his bike, lurched forward and vomited.”

Enterprise User Experience

Thu, 17 Jul 2003 12:07:22 +0000

Building on the ubiquity of Office in the enterprise, I think Microsoft

regard to delivering an enterprise user experience that feels
seamless or natural.

Essentially, it’s
an obvious goal: Give users an interface that they already know and use daily.

Specifically the key to
providing this enterprise utopia is with Microsoft’s soon-to-be released “Office
2003 System”. IMHO and if all goes well, Microsoft will finally deliver a
malleable front-end framework that lets developers tap into the specific work-flow
processes that people accomplish everyday in each of the main Office
applications (Word, Excel, Outlook and perhaps PowerPoint and Access)

Unsung Hero of the Tour

Wed, 16 Jul 2003 01:07:29 +0000

Catherine sent me the following quote from Tyler Hamilton’s latest journal entry about his current status at the Tour:

“The pain in my collarbone is now being matched by pain in my spine. I started feeling a jabbing pain in my back and rib cage a couple of days ago. We just figured it was a bruise making its way to the surface and that it would get better each day. But the problem is it’s been getting worse.”

Neighborhood Area Networking

Tue, 15 Jul 2003 04:07:10 +0000

I just read the following via Wi-Fi Networking News:

“Speakeasy’s NetShare service … allows a DSL or T-1 customer to share their connection with anyone they like and have Speakeasy bill their sharers directly, while rebating 50 percent of those fees against their direct customers’ bill.”

Awesome!

Heh, and I was just debating the validity of Neighborhood Wi-Fi with Ed. So naturally I found the timeliness of this to be a bit ironic, but interesting nonetheless.

SharePoint 2.0 and Search.Microsoft.com

Mon, 14 Jul 2003 09:07:36 +0000

Over the weekend Microsoft released a new site-wide search engine for Microsoft.com that utilizes the soon-to-be-released SharePoint 2.0 and Windows 2003 Server. (Thanks for the link Martin)

In what I think is a related note, for search results.

Although I can’t seem to find the interface to this yet, but you can customize the query by changing the “search keyword” value after the “q=” in the above link. (via Anil Dash)

Tour de France Blog

Fri, 11 Jul 2003 12:07:22 +0000

Anil Dash points to a great Tour de France weblog.

I’d like to add however, that VeloNews has been reporting live coverage of the tour in blog-like fashion for the last few years, which has been great as well!

Open Source Exchange and SharePoint portal server

Fri, 11 Jul 2003 11:07:45 +0000

Yesterday the OpenGroupware.org (OGo) site was Slashdot-ed, so I couldn’t really get a look at the docs, but OGo announced the release of an open source groupware, which according to the OGo FAQ “is something between a mixture of Exchange and SharePoint portal server.”

John sent me a good InfoWorld article as well.

My initial reaction is, “Wow!”

Although, I think it’s lofty and a brash move to make statements like the following during your initial release:

Mud

Thu, 10 Jul 2003 09:07:47 +0000

Great quote by Don Park:

Using open source tools and libraries is like playing with mud.

But I’ll add; as a kid, I always enjoyed playing in the mud :-)

Wiki’s Metioned on MSNBC

Wed, 09 Jul 2003 03:07:30 +0000

MSNBC has a decent post about
What is a Wiki? (scroll down the page a bit, because their perma-links don’t seem to be working properly)

Go Postal! Pena in Yellow!

Wed, 09 Jul 2003 02:07:36 +0000

Postal Wins the Team Time Trial and “Victor Hugo Pena has become the first Colombian ever to wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France.”

That’s so awesome!

Also, Tyler Hamilton, still riding with a broken collarbone, finishes the Team Time Trial with his CSC Tiscali team mates for a 10th place finish.

Amazing! Go Tyler!

Economics of Distributed Computing

Tue, 08 Jul 2003 01:07:57 +0000

Jim Gray of Microsoft Research has an interesting paper on the economic viability of distributed computing.

Some quotes:

“Put the computation near the data. The recurrent theme of this analysis is that “On Demand” computing is only economical for very CPU-intensive (100,000 instructions per byte or a CPU-day per gigabyte of network traffic) applications.”

“If telecom prices drop faster than Moore’s law … [snip] … it could completely alter the arguments here. But there is no obvious sign of that occurring.”

Hamilton Starts Stage 2 with Broken Collarbone

Mon, 07 Jul 2003 10:07:44 +0000

Amazing! — Tyler Hamilton has started stage two of the Tour De France with a broken collarbone, which he suffered during yesterday’s massive crash at the end of stage one!

“The second stage of the Tour de France is now underway and it appears that Tyler Hamilton, after Sunday’s devastating crash, is going to tough it out and try to ride today’s 204.5km route between La Ferte-sous-Jouarre and Sedan. “(via VeloNews)

2003 Tour De France

Sat, 05 Jul 2003 11:07:48 +0000

This year being the 100 Anniversary of the Tour and (potentially) Armstrong’s 5th consecutive win, next only to Miguel Indurain, I’m eagerly awaiting the start of today’s prologue and live coverage on OLN TV.

It also looks like VeloNews will again be blogging Live Tour Updates, which in past years has been extremely valuable given the time difference.

Go Postal!

SPAM false-positives can be rude

Thu, 03 Jul 2003 05:07:00 +0000

This is the unfortunate result of the “every growing uphill battle with SPAM”, but apparently an email to me from Anders Jacobsen was rejected due to some of the drastic, but efficient, measures John has been applying to the server.

Anders brings up some interesting points, in that the automated rejection notices, from legitimate senders, present themselves as bad-mannered netiquette that penetrates the social fabric of the online world.

As I said in my response to Anders, “SPAM has effectively transformed an efficient means of communication into a bastion of nonsense.”

je ne sais quoi RSS

Thu, 03 Jul 2003 01:07:50 +0000

Great quotes from Chad Dickerson’s latest InfoWorld column, RSS Killed the Infoglut Star :

“…explaining to the uninitiated why RSS newsreaders are so compelling can be a little frustrating. There’s a certain jene sais quoi about RSS that reminds me of how it felt to describe the Web to people who hadn’t yet experienced it…

I hear you!

And then Chad goes on to say…

All I know is that I can’t go back to my old inefficient ways of consuming information. As the Buggles sang in the first MTV video: “We can’t rewind / We’ve gone too far.” And that’s a good thing.

Synonyms! Fuzzy! Thesauri! Oh my!

Wed, 02 Jul 2003 12:07:01 +0000

Tim Bray’s sixth installment on seach:

“There are other ways than thesauri to improve the recall of search systems. Perhaps the best known is Â“Latent Semantic Indexing.Â” “

ISO Creation Tool for Windows XP

Wed, 02 Jul 2003 01:07:21 +0000

Nice!

Alex Feinman has created the ISO Recorder Power Toy, which “is a UI component that allows you to use CD-Recording capabilities of Windows XP to record and create ISO images.” (via Lockergnome)

There’s also a companion application called CreateCD, which “is a command-line tool that allows recording files and folders to a data CD from command line. … It can also be used from a scripts and batch files to perform automated backup on CD-RW.” (e.g. Robocopy backup scripts)

More Blog Evangelism at work

Tue, 01 Jul 2003 04:07:47 +0000

Well my constant nagging of my friend and co-worker Ed Hackney seems to be paying off.

Oh wait, maybe not! Doh!

However, perhaps I need to teach Ed how to click the post button once :-)

Home Star Runner

Fri, 27 Jun 2003 10:06:44 +0000

BTW, I’m now a huge fan of Home Star Runner (flash required). My favorites so far are “Teenage Girls Squad” and “System Down”.

Very funny!

Who needs Saturday morning cartoons anymore?

Wiki: Tenacious Collaboration

Fri, 27 Jun 2003 03:06:09 +0000

Tim Bray quotes Sam Ruby’s observation of the tenaciousness of collaboration via a Wiki

“[Sam Ruby] speculated that this was like rugby, if we get enough people pushing in the same direction we’ll eventually move the ball in that direction.”

Indeed!

Going Commercial

Thu, 26 Jun 2003 12:06:09 +0000

Like many other bloggers, I’ve decided to give Google’s AdSense a test run.

I suppose I’m most interested in the type of Ads that get served on subsequent posts. Specifically, the context matching of content to Ads. So far it seems to be working well.

However, I do wish Google offered more flexibility with the style and sizes of the Ads.

The Search for Intelligent Search

Wed, 25 Jun 2003 09:06:35 +0000

The latest in Tim BrayÂ’s series on search

I think this one is the best yet. Here’s a quote:

“Consider what a really intelligent search engine would have to do. It would have to read an arbitrary selection of documents in an arbitrary selection of dialects and styles, and ascertain what they are about. Then, it would have to look at an arbitrary query, once again in an arbitrary dialect and style, and ascertain what it is about. Then it would have to match the about-nesses of the query against that of the documents and return the right documents.”

Download, Burn, Boot, Play

Wed, 25 Jun 2003 09:06:14 +0000

Dyne:bolic is another bootable Linux distro that’s focused on “Media” application. However what makes this one special, in addition to the multimedia applications, is that it will boot on a PC or an XBox (yes, XBox!).

It’s not quite an Open Source version of the Tivo software on a bootable CD, but it’s getting there. (link via /.)

Discovery Systems on the Road to Business Intelligence

Wed, 25 Jun 2003 03:06:30 +0000

Today must be research Wednesday for me, because here’s another great article on search. This one, from the latest issue of DM Review,
is specifically talking about “Discovery Systems” in relation to BI:

“Leading enterprise search and classification vendors, including IBM, Verity, Inxight and Stratify, have recently introduced “discovery systems” designed to automatically identify important relationships and trends within documents and document collections.”

Microsoft Targeting Google

Wed, 25 Jun 2003 03:06:16 +0000

Some interesting quotes from this article on CNET News.com about Microsoft new search initiatives:

“The fact that Longhorn is on the horizon raises questions to whether search services will be integrated into the Longhorn experience and what the ramifications will be to other folks,”

“Microsoft’s target will be to create little perceived difference between Web search and local search,”

“Ballmer identified search as one area where Microsoft will offer “new end-user functionality and services.” As part of his “integrated innovation” message, he said the company needs to “reach out broadly” through search, consumer services and other avenues to grow.”

Fresh slices of the RSS Pie

Tue, 24 Jun 2003 05:06:57 +0000

There’s a lively discussion on diveintomark about the road map for a new syndication format (i.e. a new version or RSS), which is in-and-of-itself a discussion of sorts on Sam Ruby’s Wiki currently known as Pie, but that name may change.

Wow!

I can hardly formulate a coherent opinion at the moment, let alone try to evangelize RSS to business associates and colleagues — as Tim Bray pointed out recently

I sure hope this settles down soon, because on the plus side all the talk seems to be generating quite a buzz around the potential of RSS.

Precision and Recall

Mon, 23 Jun 2003 01:06:42 +0000

Tim Bray posts his third in the series on Search. This one is on Precision and Recall. Here are a few good quotes:

“While precision and recall are very helpful in talking about how good search systems are, they are nightmarishly difficult to actually use, quantitatively. First of all, the notion of Â“relevanceÂ” is definitely in the eye of the beholder, and not, in the real world, a mechanical yes/no decision. Secondly, any information base big enough to make search engines interesting is going to be too big to actually compute recall ….”

The Motive of Uncle Orrin (no relation)

Fri, 20 Jun 2003 04:06:33 +0000

Based on the recent comments by Senator Orrin Hatch (no relation) and the ongoing reactions, I remembered a quote of his I posted back in February of 2001, which implied that Senator Hatch (no relation) was coming to the defense of the fledgling granddaddy of MP3 swapping … Napster.

Here’s the interesting quote:

“The Napster community represents a huge consumer demand for the kind of online music services Napster, rightly or wrongly, has offered and, to date, the major record labels have been unable to satisfy,” (Feb 2001)

Info Aggregator: RSS-to-IMAP service

Thu, 19 Jun 2003 12:06:36 +0000

The folks over at Blogstreet have released an RSS-to-IMAP service called Info Aggregator, which is pretty slick. (link via Blogroots)

However, it’s unlikely that I’ll be moving from NewsGator even though using the IMAP protocol does provide some alternative client options as well as remote capabilities.

The fact is I’m always in Outlook and my experience using IMAP has never been stellar.

I’ll certainly give it a try though.

BTW, I just tried Blogstreet’s RSS Generator and it works very well!

Nobody Uses Advanced Search

Wed, 18 Jun 2003 05:06:14 +0000

Tim Bray’s second installment on search…

“Every search engine has an Â“advanced searchÂ“ screen, and nobody (quantitatively, less than 0.5% of users) ever goes there. This drove us nuts back at Open Text, because our engine was very structurally savvy and could do compound/boolean queries that look like what today weÂ’d call XPath. But nobody used it.”

I used it quite a bit. In fact, the advanced search pare was what I would bookmark on most search engines. However, indeed, I was certainly in the minority.

Rumor: Microsoft looking to buy Accenture?

Tue, 17 Jun 2003 08:06:52 +0000

Cringely writes in his latest InfoWorld column:

“…one of my moles reported that Team Redmond might be looking to buy Accenture, the $11 billion consulting company. Apparently, Microsoft and Accenture have been engaged in some intense talks, with folks frequently flying back and forth between Redmond and New York, particularly during March and April. “

“You have a marketing problem”...

Tue, 17 Jun 2003 01:06:52 +0000

Steven Vore pulls out a great quote from George Gilder’s book Telecosm, which I think seems so relevant to the music industry — namely the RIAA. (link via McGee’s Musings)

“When your product is stolen by thieves, you have a police problem. When it is stolen by millions of honest customers, you have a marketing problem.”

Oh how I hope the music industry is listening. Unfortunately I highly doubt they would see the relevance.

Office 2003 beta 2 “refresh”

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 09:06:47 +0000

PCWorld reports “Microsoft is on track to release its “refresh” of Office 2003 beta 2 to testers before the end of the month, a company spokesman said Friday.”

This is good news, because I’ve been having problems with Outlook 2003 freezing occasionally. Otherwise, the other apllications in the Office 2003 beta have been stable.

Search is Commoditized

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 05:06:46 +0000

A quote from Tim Bray’s first in a series on search technology:

“All search engines work more or less the same, and offer more or less the same APIs, and provide more or less the same quality of result.”

Interesting. I can’t wait till the next installment.

Word 2003 as an RSS Viewer

Fri, 13 Jun 2003 02:06:52 +0000

Mike Gunderloy has written up an article that demonstrates how to use Word 2003 as an RSS viewer. Mike did this cool hack by transforming an RSS feed into into Words own XML flavor, WordML — Of course using XSLT and a little VBS. (via Lockergnome)

Spike You!

Fri, 13 Jun 2003 02:06:42 +0000

Catherine rants about Spike Lee’s suit against SpikeTV. I’ll have to add to Cat’s “Spike” list with Elvis Costello’s album Spike from 1989.

And what about all those dogs named Spike? What will we do?

Retro Computing Magazines

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 09:06:04 +0000

I’m certainly feeling nostalgic with all the retro talk lately about early experiences with computing technology.

Given the reflective talk, it’s not surprising to see a mention of some of my favorite computing magazines like
Softside,
Antic and of course Creative Computing

In fact, I still have a few issues of Creative Computing and Softside from the late 70’s early 80’s. Perhaps when I post my “Newly Digital” experiences, I’ll include pictures of these zines.

OneNote as a Wiki front-end

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 01:06:31 +0000

It just occurred to me that Microsoft’s OneNote, the application “for capturing, organizing, and collaboratively sharing information”, would work well as a front-end to a Wiki.

For example: A Wiki server could act as repository for publishing shared OneNote pages that in turn can be collaborated on either via the browser (in the true Wiki sense) or within the OneNote application itself.

IMHO, this type of integration would push Wiki’s into corporate environments where knowledge management seems to involve too much post-processing work.

FrontPage 2003 as a blogging tool

Wed, 11 Jun 2003 12:06:59 +0000

I didn’t see this feature in the latest beta of FP 2003, but according to this article on CRN FrontPage 2003 will include a blogging tool.

However, what I also found interesting is that FP 2003 will also “incorporate a full WYSIWYG editor for Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSLT)”,

Very cool!

Hmmm… Perhaps I missed that in the beta. (note to self: re-check FP 2003 beta)

Gizmodo 1983

Tue, 10 Jun 2003 05:06:59 +0000

Feeling old? Check out some “cool” Gadgets from 1983.

It’s interesting to note how long it took many of these to catch on en mass and then to apply that logic to some products that we are just starting to see in the consumer markets. (e.g. PVRs, WiFi and even Blogging in the relm of social acceptance)

Get the Yahoo Buzz via RSS

Mon, 09 Jun 2003 03:06:04 +0000

Jeremy Zawodny spills the beans about Yahoo’s Buzz (search) indices now being available via RSS, which is very cool indeed.

It would also be cool to see Google’s Zeitgeist rankings to be available in RSS as well. Ideally with a greater update frequency.

RSS Marketing

Sun, 08 Jun 2003 11:06:35 +0000

Greg Reinacker talks about companies using RSS feeds to market products instead of opt-in lists and/or the dreaded spam…

“If I could subscribe to a RSS feed that’s personalized for me, containing advertisements and offers of stuff I might actually be interested in, based on information I’ve given, I’d be all over it. Not only would I read it, but I might even buy stuff from it. And it’s all under my control – if I decide I’m no longer interested, I just remove my subscription.”

See SPOT run this fall

Thu, 05 Jun 2003 05:06:06 +0000

It would be pretty cool to get an RSS-2-SPOT gateway up and running so we can read our newsfeeds inbetween trips to the fridge for that next beer ;-)

“Microsoft has revealed details of its wireless service for personal devices as it tests the network prior to the availability of products due in the fall. “(via CNet)

Microsoft granted US patent for “interactive entertainment”

Wed, 04 Jun 2003 01:06:06 +0000

Martin sent me a link to this article by Alexander Wolfe of EmbeddedWatch.com about Microsoft newly granted US patent for “interactive entertainment”.

To quote Alexander…

“[Microsoft’s]… patent [number 6,571,390] appears to claim the invention of networked interactive entertainment.”

Hmm, I wonder what this will mean for video-on-demand systems and perhaps even network-capable PVRs like Replay and hacked TiVo’s.

eBay search to RSS feed

Tue, 03 Jun 2003 10:06:10 +0000

Nice! Just enter an eBay search phrase and this little script will turn the results into an RSS feed that you can subscribe to in your favorite news aggregator

The code is based on this script from waxy.org (if you’d like to run it on our own server)

For some additional RSS goodies and more check out Fagan Finder’s using RSS page

TiVo Plans to Sell Information on Customers’ Viewing Habits

Mon, 02 Jun 2003 11:06:32 +0000

Catherine sent me a link to this report about TiVo in the NY Times, which I’m sure is making waves with privacy advocates…

“TiVo, the maker of digital video recorders, plans today to begin selling information about the viewing patterns of its customers to advertisers and programmers. The company says the reports offer far more precise data than traditional rating methods.

Because TiVo’s are essentially computer hard drives connected to a central server, the company can monitor viewers’ second-by-second behavior. It can tell how many viewers in a certain ZIP code clicked away at what moment in a commercial, for instance, or when a particular character appeared on a show.

Nullsoft’s Waste Dumped?

Fri, 30 May 2003 03:05:14 +0000

This sounds like a barebones version of Groove:

“WASTE is a software product and protocol that enables secure distributed communication for small (on the order of 10-50 nodes) trusted groups of users.”

However, it looks like perhaps AOL made Nullsoft dump WASTE from their site because the link went 404 yesterday afternoon.

Of course there’s already a mirror, which I found @ blueyonder.co.uk via the Slashdot Thread:

As a fan of Groove, I’ll need to set aside some time to check this out.

WordPress b2/cafelog derivative

Thu, 29 May 2003 12:05:06 +0000

Congratulations to Matthew and Mike on the release of WordPress, which is the official fork in the b2/cafÃ©log blog tool.

On a test server I converted the data from my current b2-based blog to WordPress with very little trouble. Especially helpful was the handy upgrade script included with WordPress.

For the most part everything seems to be working well. I was even able to get the search-engine-friendly URLs working. I may in fact upgrade my live b2 blog with the new WordPress code. However, I want to run a few tests and see if any bugs pop-up before I take the plunge.

PeopleSoft CEO says .Net is IT ‘asbestos’

Tue, 27 May 2003 03:05:43 +0000

I can’t say that I agree with Mr. Conway of PeopleSoft in regard to his comment about .Net last week…

“PeopleSoft president and CEO Craig Conway has described Microsoft’s .Net initiative as the information technology equivalent of asbestos.”

“Conway then added that, in his opinion, Microsoft’s .Net strategy will not help business to control the costs of their enterprise applications, as it assumes code will be executed by PCs.”

Specifically, the second quote certainly seems a bit hypocritical since PeopleSoft up until version 7.02(?) was a hard-core Client/Server based application environment.

Rainy Epic Rides

Mon, 26 May 2003 10:05:12 +0000

I was looking forward to an epic Memorial Day ride today, but the current downpour seems to have put a damper on the plans. Perhaps I need one of these for the trails. (Thanks for the link Ed!)

Hosted Photo Blogging Service

Sun, 25 May 2003 05:05:37 +0000

Expressions seems to be filling an up-and-coming blogging niche and at $2.50 per month, it’s certainly reasonably priced.

More here…

“Expressions! is a hosted media blogging system that makes it easy for anyone to create and maintain their very own photo or media blog. It has been designed and developed by fellow photographers, artists and bloggers to meet your specific needs.” (via Ben)

Dynamics of a Blogosphere Story

Sat, 24 May 2003 11:05:19 +0000

Ok, I suppose my post is a reaction or vote to
Microdoc News Dynamics of a Blogosphere Story study, which not surprisingly is tracking on Blogdex.

Whatever the case, and the label for what I’m doing here, I do find Microdoc’s study to be quite interesting. In particular, the following quotes…

Microdoc News has developed a picture of how a blogosphere story gets started, how that story develops and then how it then comes to an end. While each blogosphere story has its own pattern of development, the similarities between one story and another is intriguingly similar. The smallest blogosphere stories can have as few as fifteen bloggers, the average story has between 40 and 60 bloggers, while the largest one to date had about 285 bloggers involved. A blogosphere story can be as small as 180 posts in total, while the largest we studied has numbered 7,540 posts in total.
[… and later …]
“Perhaps the last conclusions we came to in this study is that blogs cannot be read in isolation from each other. Blog stories are understood and appreciated in aggregate and not in isolation. On the other hand, mainstream media stories tend to be read in isolation rather than read and compared.

The RDF Challenge

Fri, 23 May 2003 11:05:44 +0000

I’ve been intrigued by the promise of RDF and followed the history from Guha’s MCF HotSauce application, through Tim Berners-Lee’s Semantic Web

Although, like Tim Bray, I too have been looking for the RDF killer App. At one time I even had aspirations of what it could be.

It’s been a long time coming for RDF and as Tim rightly puts it, “… the killer [RDF] app that would make you want to View Source hasn’t arrived.”

Personal and Enterprise Search

Thu, 22 May 2003 09:05:12 +0000

For some reason I missed this post from last week by Jon Udell about Indexing and searching Outlook email, but I thought his concluding paragraphs had a much broader impact on Enterprise Search in general.

… The Web has trained us, rightly, to expect that we just type in a word or two and get the “right” answer. I don’t know what the stats are on use of Google’s advanced search, or any advanced search, but my gut tells me such features are rarely used.

Change Today

Thu, 22 May 2003 09:05:02 +0000

Some good quotes from Kevin Werbach article on CNet titled, “Anticipating a post-Web, post-PC world”

“If you want to know where you are, you don’t study a map to determine where you’re going. You trace back the steps from where you’ve been. Over the past several years, “where we’ve been” in the technology world has changed. While we were all focused on the dot-com bubble and the subsequent bust, “yesterday” shifted. It used to be the PC revolution and client-server computing in the enterprise; now it’s the Web.”

Knoppix Bootable Linux CD

Wed, 21 May 2003 04:05:07 +0000

I needed to do some quick testing in Linux today, but I didn’t have immediate root access to a Linux distro. That’s when I popped the
Knoppix Bootable Linux CD into my drive, restarted and POOF!! …
my laptop is now running a complete Debian-based Linux distro including OpenOffice, Mozilla, KDE, and more. I could even get to the local file system.

Awesome!

Don’t leave home without it! It’s a great recovery CD as well.

NewsGator 1.2 New Posting Interface

Tue, 20 May 2003 09:05:18 +0000

If this works, I’ll be posting this via NewsGator
1.2’s new Outlook posting interface! Congratulations Greg!
Update: Well, the post arrived, but it had no title and the HTML was a bit mangled. I think in part because of Outlook 2003’s HTML formatting and the fact that I used the Blogger API plug-in. I think I need to update my b2/cafelog to support the MetaWeblog API

Topic-Sensitive page rankings feasible

Mon, 19 May 2003 11:05:34 +0000

A new paper by a Stanford group claims substantial increase in calculating Page Rank performance (used by Google), which could make room for personalized topical searches.

“Computer science researchers at Stanford University have developed several new techniques that together may make it possible to calculate Web page rankings as used in the Google search engine up to five times faster. The speed-ups to Google’s method may make it realistic to calculate page rankings personalized for an individual’s interests or customized to a particular topic.” (via BoingBoing)

Mature Music Mag?

Fri, 16 May 2003 11:05:43 +0000

Catherine just sent me a link to this
article in the NY Post about TRACKS, which is the name of a
new music magazine that will hit this fall from the Good Music Media…

“This magazine is the antidote to the hype and gloss of the
youth music marketing machine,” … “Tracks will deliberately pursue the
30-to-45 year old audience.”

Perhaps it’s a sign that I’m getting older in that the announcement of a
magazine targeted at the 30-to-45 year old audience appeals to me, but what
else is out there for a retro-punk with a revived interest in jazz? I
suppose a Jazz magazine, but that’s to niche for me.

Top 15 things my dog has taught me

Verizon launches Wi-Fi service with 150 hot spots

Tue, 13 May 2003 03:05:36 +0000

John just sent me a link to this Reuters story about Verizon’s launch of new Wi-Fi hot spots in phone
booths through out NYC:

Verizon Communications today launched its new Wi-Fi service by lighting up150 hot spots in New York City, with plans to activate another 850 by theend of the year. Verizon said its deployment marks the largest such initiative by an Internet service provider in a single U.S. city. Verizon’s hot spots will be inside pay phones located throughout New York and will have a range of 300 feet.

REST-ful Technorati API

Mon, 12 May 2003 12:05:44 +0000

Dave Sifry’s just publicly announced the Technorati API (link via Ben), which seems very timely (for Dave) given the recent report of a new Google-powered blog search engine.

Also with Google’s blog-enlightenment, will Technorati become the next Daja or more specifically the next Google search tab?

As for the API, I like the fact that it’s REST-ful, which should enable simple integration. I just scooped up my Technorati API-Key and may give it a try on my blog and perhaps internally on an internet portal.

Google, Blogs and clutter?

Fri, 09 May 2003 01:05:52 +0000

A quote from the article titled Google to fix blog
noise problem found on The Register…

“The main problem with blogs is that, as far as Google is
concerned, they masquerade as useful information when all they contain is
idle chatter,” wrote Roddy. “And through some fluke of their evil software,
they seem to get indexed really fast, so when a major political or social
event happens, Google is noised to the brim with blogs and you have to start
at result number 40 or so before you get past the blogs.”

Enterprise Meets the Borg

Thu, 08 May 2003 10:05:10 +0000

I think the Star Trek Enterprise Regeneration episode last night was one of the best in the series thus far. However, I have to agree with Jeremey Zawodny in that I was at first confused about the timeline, but I do think they pulled it together nicely.

As a few people have already mentioned on Jeremey’s blog, when the Borg contacted the Enterprise, they didn’t say, “We are Borg…”, which coincides with the storyline in ST:NG whereby they didn’t know of the Borg.

Suit Settled for Students Downloading Music Online

Wed, 07 May 2003 06:05:01 +0000

A quote in the [NY Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/02/national/02STUD.html?ex=1052539200&e n=62f647db4d1433df&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND) from Howard Ende
of DB&R about the suit:

“This suit is about the industry’s attempt to intimidate
Internet users and instill fear of lawsuits against users of the Internet,
particularly students,” said Howard Ende, a lawyer from Drinker, Biddle &
Reath who is representing Mr. Peng. “They need to find some other way to
protect their economic interests than bringing suits against bright creative
young people.”

Nation’s Dogs Dangerously Underpetted, Say Dogs

Wed, 07 May 2003 05:05:59 +0000

I got this one from Ted, which of course came from here (LOL!!)

“NEW YORKÂ—At a press conference Monday, representatives of the Association of
American Dogs announced that the nation’s canines are dangerously
underpetted. “Every night, thousands of U.S. dogs go to bed without so much
as a scritch behind the ears,” AAD president Banjo said. “If this sort of
neglect from our masters continues, it could lead to widespread jumping on
the furniture.” Upon his owner’s arrival in the press-conference room, Banjo
abruptly ended his speech, frantically barking, leaping, and rolling over on
his back in an effort to communicate his need for a vigorous belly rub.”

How To Make A Telemarketer Cry

Wed, 07 May 2003 01:05:17 +0000

Mark Eckenwiler
details his experience suing a telemarketer (link via [Doc](http://doc.weblogs.com/2003/05/07#theContinuingDeathOfAdvertisingAsUsu al))
I love this stuff!
Good summary of Mark’s work:

“The Small Claims process in D.C. – at least what I saw of it – was so
painless as to be dangerously addictive. While the decor in the clerk’s
office leaves a lot to be desired, the staff were consistently helpful and
professional during my phone calls and in-person visits, and you can’t beat
the results if your case has merit. (While sharing news of my success, I
learned from a work colleague that she had used Small Claims previously to
recover $5,000 from a crooked used-car dealer.)”

Blogging complements the water-cooler

Fri, 02 May 2003 09:05:24 +0000

Anders Jacobsen, whose blog I have just started to read on a regular bases (due to his comments here that I still need to respond too), has some rather compelling posts about KM and blogging, like for example this response to the recent Business 2.0 article on Management by Blog:

Anders Jacobsen: “I don’t think blogging in businesses will be capturing the water-cooler buzz… On the other hand blogs definitely have potential to smoothen out the intranet / knowledge database submission process. “

Donating a Car to Charity

Tue, 29 Apr 2003 11:04:49 +0000

I was doing some research about donating a car to charity and I found a good checklist on the NY Better Business Bureau site

“If considering a donation of a vehicle to a charity, follow this checklist: - Check out the charity. Make sure you are comfortable with its mission, activities and ethics. NYPAS maintains reports on many New York area charities and the Council of Better Business BureausÂ’ PAS program has information on national organizations from around the country.

Encouraging richer social connections

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 03:04:48 +0000

According to researchers at the University of Washington which was referenced in this NY Times article

“…companies would benefit from encouraging richer social connections,”

The Times article also mentions …

“Google may be great, but people are greater. Paraphrased roughly, that is what researchers at the University of Washington found in a study released last week. People are more likely to seek information from other people than to search the Internet or an intranet, and they are three times more likely to go to people they know than to outside experts…”

Recipe for Car Power: Heat Vegetable Oil, Flip Switch and Go.

Thu, 24 Apr 2003 10:04:12 +0000

What’s next? Cop cars that run on powdered sugar?

From an
article in the NY Times: “He will then start the vehicle on regular
diesel, and after a few minutes, when the vegetable oil becomes more viscous
in the heater, a manual switch will direct it to the diesel engine. From
there, the only detectable difference will be the faint odor of French
fries, and a noticeable lack of diesel stench.” (Thanks for the link John)

IT business analyst or IT business technologist

Mon, 21 Apr 2003 12:04:59 +0000

Interesting article in eWeek about IT business
analyst:

“…an IT business analyst acts as a liaison between non-IT
employees who have a business problem to solve and the IT department, which
is charged with finding the solution.”

Of course this is a self-serving comment from me, but I certainly agree that
this is a key position in the enterprise.

(Thanks Ted for sending me the link [where’s your blog ;-])

Keyboarding: Going Virtical

Mon, 21 Apr 2003 04:04:42 +0000

In a follow-up to my post about the Evolution of interfaces I found this article in ExtremeTech (via BoingBoing) about a vertical keyboard that helps prevent Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI):

“… the vertical placement of the keyboard allows the user to type while keeping the forearms in a neutral position (with the thumbs up). With a standard flat keyboard, in order to type the hands are rotated so that the palms are parallel with the floor (this is called a “pronated” position). In the pronated position, the bones in the forearm twist with the wrist and scissor. This scissoring of the bones causes extra pressure to be forced upon the Carpal Tunnel.”

New version of blogger: Dano?

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 11:04:21 +0000

Looks like Blogger is gearing up to release a new version called Dano.

There’s not much info right now other than a short FAQ, but more info should be available shortly (according to the site).

Heh, I also realized that I have a few months worth of old blog posts at blogger. Hmm, it might be worth importing into b2.

To TiVo and beyond

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 06:04:42 +0000

I think it’s safe to assume that Brad Choate really-really likes his TiVo. However, he has made some interesting points about TiVo’s future uses:

“I also expect that weÂ’ll be using the TV for video e-mail and home-to-home video conferencing. ThatÂ’s a killer application waiting to happen. Something that would drive a market to broadband faster than Superman puts on his tights.”

AOL Spam Fighter, Spammer or Both?

Wed, 16 Apr 2003 09:04:55 +0000

Even though I applaud AOL’s recent Spam lawsuits, catbird points out the irony:

“As much as I detest spam, I am having trouble cheering for a company that sends me unsolicited CDs in expensive and non-biodegradable tin cases every month. Which is worse, email spam or polluting the earth with waste?”

Grassroots knowledge management

Wed, 16 Apr 2003 04:04:51 +0000

Well said from McGee’s Musings about blogs and KM:

“Knowledge work, on the other hand, depends on extracting maximum advantage out of the unique characteristics and experiences of each knowledge worker. Knowledge management, from this perspective, has to be a decentralized, grassroots, activity. If you accept that premise, the promise of weblogs in knowledge management becomes clearer. Weblogs operate on grassroots assumptions by design.”

Corporate blogs make personal connection

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 09:04:40 +0000

Doc is quoted in Crain’s B2B Marketing article about corporate weblogs:

“Weblog expert Searls said that companies of all stripes might do well to consider complementing their formal marketing messages with the more direct connection to customers that Weblogs can deliverÂ—with or without the endorsement of the marketing department.”

Google as a Knowledge Operating System

Mon, 14 Apr 2003 04:04:24 +0000

From Microdoc News:

“Google, a Knowledge Operating System (KOS) manages your knowledge activity on the Internet. Google, as a KOS, manages your requests for information, indexes your web pages, responds to applications you may be running on your computer that interface to it via the Google APIs, and integrates knowledge and information from millions of computers into a single large managed database.”

This seems to be a little excessive in that I don’t know if I’d want to give one company that much information about me, but the high-level idea is interesting.

Seed or hydroseed

Sat, 12 Apr 2003 10:04:35 +0000

I need to seed my backyard, but I can’t decide between hydroseeding and pain old seeding. I’ve already factored out laying down sod, because according to this it appears that sod will be 50% more than hydroseeding.

However, what’s benefit over seeding? This Old House seems to favor hydroseeding, but it’s still unclear of the cost gap.

Hmm…

Blogging as Jazz

Fri, 11 Apr 2003 01:04:45 +0000

Lilia Efimova, Diana Mehta and Sebastian Fiedler have an interesting discussion going on about using the metaphor of a Jazz band to describe the interactions that take place in the blogshere.

Diana Mehta uses a quote from jazz musician Doug Little on her Ryze page in reference to improvisational “interactions”:

“What I play will inspire the drummer to play something. The drummer might inspire me to play something. The musicians listen to one another and make spontaneous decisions. The possibilities are endless. It is always within the form and it is always interconnected with each person but it is never the same.

Using RSS for corporate communications

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 09:04:09 +0000

Via Jon Udell I’m happy to see that the PR Industry is starting to preach the value of blogging and the versatility of RSS.

For example, Phil Gomes writes in MediaMap’s ExperPR article:

“Today, companies — and, by extension, the agencies that represent them — can publish their corporate communications content in their online press rooms using RSS-supported, weblog-rooted principles. While perhaps not in widespread use now, the day will come when the online location of a company’s RSS feed will be just as much of a PR proÂ’s email signature file as his or her email address, homepage, and phone number.”

Five steps to finding the perfect dog

My wife Catherine stated today what I hope will be an ongoing series of articles about pets. (So please encourage her :-)

Of course she knows this because we found our “perfect” dog, but on top of that she has much more particle experience by volunteering at a shelter and studying canine massage.

Wi-Fi and cell phones

Mon, 07 Apr 2003 09:04:46 +0000

Martin Cooper, the father of the first cell phone call, has the following to say about Wi-Fi:

“”Wi-Fi is wonderful. It is a superb local area network–what it was designed to do–and it does that very well. When you try to make Wi-Fi cover a wide area, it’s absolutely the worst way to do it. Think about it. In order to cover a city, you need a million sites; we actually did an analysis of that. And every one of them has got to have backhaul. So it turns out it’s neither economical nor practical.” (via cnet)

SharePoint Portal to be bundled with Office 2003

Mon, 07 Apr 2003 02:04:54 +0000

I’m not surprised by the following announcement and in my opinion, this could make SharePoint Portal as ubiquitous as Office; if Microsoft can find the pricing sweet-spot.

“Microsoft plans to add its SharePoint business portal software to its Office bundle, as the company looks to broaden the appeal of its desktop software. ” (via cnet)

Outlook 2003 Beta 2

Thu, 03 Apr 2003 11:04:41 +0000

I installed Office 2003 Beta 2 the other day and for the most part I’m very pleased and feel much of the hype is justified.

In particular, I see a lot of potential with the native XML capabilities — especially with respect to InfoPath. Although, I’m puzzled by Microsoft’s recent announcement that InfoPath will not be included as part of the retail Office 2003 “system”.

Otherwise, I think they did an excellent job with the updated visual prioritization of information in Outlook 2003.

InfoPath and OneNote not part of the retail Office suite

Wed, 02 Apr 2003 08:04:07 +0000

I think this is a missed opportunity to broadly push InfoPath out to the masses.

Interesting tidbits on the new version of Office

Ask Google?

Tue, 01 Apr 2003 11:04:30 +0000

“GooglePeople uses your question to do a Google search. It then extracts the people names found on the top 10 result pages and chooses the likely answer to your question based on its scoring algorithm.”

I finally updated the gallery of photos Catherine and I have taken over the last 4 years of our dog Pinto, who we believe is a mix between Great Dane, Fox Hound and American Bull Dog, but feel free to make your own guess … He’ll always be a 90-plus pound puppy to us.

So much Open Source Software

Mon, 31 Mar 2003 11:03:33 +0000

I certainly agree with Mark that the availability of Open Source Software is tremendous — I believe this has been the case for a long time.

DiveIntoMark: “In the future, there will be so much open source software available, programmers will be judged by how much they know about it and how well they can glue it together to build solutions.”

IMHO, the difference is that now so much of the open source software is geared toward the average user and has become increasingly less technically intense to install and deploy.

Resistance is futile

Fri, 28 Mar 2003 04:03:24 +0000

Promit Chakrabarti: “Resistance to share knowledge stems from the fact that people are concerned about job security. This leads towards knowledge not shared or used. To enter oneÂ’s knowledge into a system and to seek out knowledge from others is not only threatening, but also involves lot of effort that hunts for motivation.”

Well said.

Fact-check your ass

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 10:03:02 +0000

Ben Hammersley in the Guardian again:

“The weblogging community is proving adept at compiling and filtering news in a way never seen in previous conflicts. By comparing and contrasting reports from every news source in the theatre, the war-bloggers’ adage that they will “fact-check your ass” is being played out with enthusiasm from both writer and reader.”

Project Weblogging

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 02:03:53 +0000

Jon Udell on Publishing a project Weblog …

“If you’re managing an IT project, you are by definition a communication hub. Running a project Weblog is a great way to collect, organize, and publish the documents and discussions that are the lifeblood of the project and to shape these raw materials into a coherent narrative. The serial nature of the Weblog helps you make it the project’s newspaper of record. This kind of storytelling can become a powerful way to focus the attention of a group. The desire to listen to a compelling story and find out what happens next is a deep human instinct.”

Hewlett-Packard scientists found a company’s power and communication structure may be as simple as examining patterns of e-mail exchanges.

“Because [Email] can be captured and stored, many scientists are eyeing e-mail as a tool to quantify exchanges that in the past have taken place in hallways or meetings. The researchers in this study said e-mail flow could provide a window into the communications structure of an organization.”

“One question might be, and I’ll be as direct as I can be about this, what is .Net? Unlike Windows, where you could say it’s a product, it sits in one place, it’s got a nice little box. In some senses, it’s a very good question.”
– Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, at a Microsoft .Net briefing day in July

“We don’t have the user-centricity. Until we understand context, which is way beyond presence — presence is the most trivial notion of context.”

New version of Freenet released

Mon, 17 Mar 2003 08:03:05 +0000

There are some interesting new features in the latest release of Freenet:

Like for example, “Forward Error Correction and Healing” or FEC, which not only allows for larger files to be shared, it also provides a “healing” feature, so that parts of files can be re-created.

In addtion, “Anecdotal evidence suggests that FEC allows the reliable downloading of files as large as 600MB from Freenet at average download rates as high as 90k/sec on a broadband internet connection (which compares quite favorably to more conventional P2P applications).”

A brighter future for Knowledge Management

Sat, 15 Mar 2003 09:03:39 +0000

From Jon Udell’s latests InfoWorld column:

“Making knowledge more available gets easier with Weblogs, improved information sorting, better user connections”

“Bottom-up vs. top-down taxonomy is an old, ongoing KM struggle. But the emerging architecture of business process automation may help us cut that Gordian knot. XML documents, produced and consumed by Web services but also by people running a new generation of XML-savvy applications, will be the currency of the information economy. Richly structured, easily captured, and embedded in well-defined business contexts, they’ll be a godsend for tools that mine knowledge from documents.”

Mosaic Web browser 10 Years Old

Fri, 14 Mar 2003 09:03:12 +0000

I can’t believe it has been almost 10 years since NCSA Mosaic burst onto the scene. I remember making the jump from Gopher Servers and thinking, “Wow, this should make things interesting.”

It certainly did …

And Charles Cooper has an interesting perspective on What if Netscape had won?

Andrei Kivilev mourned at Paris-Nice

Thu, 13 Mar 2003 08:03:28 +0000

This is very sad indeed … I just leared via Jeff Veen’s blog that cycling great Andrei Kivilev died yesterday after a fall during the third stage of the Paris-Nice bicycle race.

Andrei “burst onto the international scene when he finished fourth behind Lance Armstrong, Jan Ullrich and Joseba Biloki at the 2001 Tour de France.”

I’ve begun my blog crusade at my new job. So, I’d like to welcome Promit Chakrabarti to the BlogSphere. Do keep an eye on his blog, because Promit is wicked smart — especially in the area of business process analysis … Oh yeah, and of course he knows a thing or two about a “Balanced Scorecard”

Searching the BlogSphere

Tue, 11 Mar 2003 09:03:13 +0000

This is pretty darn cool. Micah Alpern has released a Google BlogSphere search tool (w/source in PHP) that will search across all the sites whose RSS feeds are found in your OPML list.

I think Micah describes it best:
“Until the semantic web arrives the best method we have to understand a users point of view is to examine the RSS feeds they subscribe to. I currently read RSS feeds from over 70 websites. This list of RSS feeds includes friends, publications, and domain expects; all people whose opinions I value. If Googling my weblog is like searching by backup brain, then searching all sites in my RSS news aggregator is like searching the brains of people I respect and find interesting.” (link via Sebastien Paquet)

InfoPath Instant Love

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 12:03:20 +0000

Clemens Vasters seems to really dig InfoPath … some good quotes:

“On the surface, InfoPath is “just” a forms editor that allows you to build editable Forms for XML Schema, Web Services and Databases very quickly. From a technology perspective that’s very cool in itself, but the way InfoPath hides all of that behind its UI will simply make you say “Well, yes, that’s how it should be”. It’s really a no-nonsense data-capture and data-presentation centric variation of what could have been yet another feature of FrontPage that few people would have ever noticed, just because it’s UI is so simple. It’s all Office.”

SharePoint Portal Server “v2.0” Beta 2

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:03:08 +0000

Windows Update keeps tabs on all system software

Fri, 07 Mar 2003 10:03:37 +0000

SecurityFocus: “Evidence obtained by German hardware site tecChannel suggests a list of software installed on an XP machine is sent to Microsoft when users run Windows Update.” (via BoingBoing)

I’m not really surprised by this, because technically this is how I thought Windows Update works. However, I’d have to read MSFT’s privacy policy for Windows Update to actually get a handle on what they intend to do with this information, but at least they are encrypting the data before it hit the wire.

Video Blogging

Thu, 06 Mar 2003 09:03:11 +0000

Slashdot thread discussing the MSNBC article on Video Blogs.

This quote from the thread from PyroMosh sums it up for me: “Of course Video Blogs aren’t the wave of the future. At least not the near future. It would be high bandwidth instead of low, it wouldn’t be easily searchable or easy to catalog. It’s an order of magnitude harder to do with no tangible benefits except for a little bit of “cool factor”.”

“The biggest problem with switching isn’t the Mac or OS X. It’s when you have to deal with the Windows-centric parts of the world. If you can avoid them (most folks don’t need compatibility with odd applications in the office), you could be all set right out of the box with your Mac.”

Business Programming

Fri, 14 Feb 2003 08:02:48 +0000

Quotes from Jon Udell’s interview with Ward Cunningham:

“Most of business programming is about getting a wrong program to do the right thing by being even smarter. People resent these systems because that’s what they have to do. The program is a boat anchor dragging down the pace of business, and it’s almost set up so that it can’t be anything but.”

XML Content Management

Tue, 11 Feb 2003 01:02:24 +0000

Jon Udell has some encouraging words to say in regards to Chad Dickerson’s experience “winning ugly” with XML and content:

“As a longtime content wrangler, I’m guilty of assuming that any structure is mappable to any other structure. And that’s true. But it’s never as trivial as we like to imagine. Transformation is work. We’ll always need to do some of it programmatically.”

Well said.

Microsoft’s Xdocs will be called InfoPath

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 11:02:37 +0000

YourMom.com has a new home

Fri, 17 Jan 2003 09:01:03 +0000

All right, I’ll admit it … I own the domain YourMom.com. I’ve had the domain and web site for a number of years. It’s a long story how I acquired the domain, but suffice it to say, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to own yourmom.com (ok, bad joke ;).

Anyway, your mom’s past hosting provider went belly up so she now has a new provider. However, I also used this move as an opportunity to port the site to a completely new code base and scripting language. It went a lot smoother than I expected thanks to the wonderful phpLinks, which is essentially a PHP/MySQL-based web link portal management application that I tweaked a bit to manage the hundreds of your mom jokes for the YM site.

Getting a new Mountain Bike

Fri, 10 Jan 2003 01:01:45 +0000

About two weeks ago Ted and I demo’d a Cannondale Scalpel 2000 and Cannondale Jekyll 2000. Personally, I didn’t care for the plush-ness of the Jekyll. I suppose this is mainly due to the fact that I still ride and love my Gary Fisher Mt. Tam with the Genesis Geometry. Nothing climbs like it.

I rode the Jekyll with the rear locked-out in many of the flat sections and climbs. I didn’t get a chance to ride the Scalpel, but Ted was a different rider on that bike. Scary in fact. So he’s sold on the Scalpel; without riding it, I think I am too. That’s why I didn’t push to ride it [yet].

Dean Allen of Textism writes, “Textpattern is a publishing system designed for those who want to write for the web. Its bells and whistles are many, but it is above all very simple to
use. Little knowledge of internet technology is required to install and use it;
the production of valid,
standards-compliant web pages is basic to its operation.”

Outlook RSS News Feed Aggregator

Mon, 06 Jan 2003 10:01:38 +0000

Greg Reinacker says that an Outlook News Aggregator will “…possibly coming soon to a weblog near you.”

I say, Cool! However, I kind of have this functionality already using Aaron’s RSS to Email Aggregator, which BTW was just reviewed on OSDir.

Note to self: Clean up and post mods to the script.

Blog Archiving and Metadata

Sun, 05 Jan 2003 11:01:14 +0000

sbraford over at Popdex added a LazyWeb post about looking for a way to index Blog content.

I was thinking that perhaps a way to accomplish this would be to upstream rss feeds into Usenet newsgroups, which then get distributed via NNTP to servers around the world.

I believe the RSS / NNTP convergence is already happening with the likes of nntp//rss and Genecast.

As for historical archiving and searching, Google Groups is ideally suited for this purpose.

PHP with Google API and B2 Blog

Sat, 04 Jan 2003 01:01:04 +0000

I just added a Google related links query to individual post on hatch.org (If you’re viewing this as an individual post you should see it below the weblog related links. If not, just click on the title of this post).

It was fairly easy to implement, thanks to Sebastian Bergmann PHP Google SOAP class, which provides an interface to Google’s Web Services API. The class also requires PEAR::SOAP package, which puts it all together.

Cringely’s 2003 Weblog prediction

Fri, 03 Jan 2003 12:01:42 +0000

From Cringely’s 2003 predictions: “And finally, with the continued (and to me totally inexplicable) rise of web logs, someone — maybe Google — will come up with an effective blog search engine to read all that junk for us and extract what we really care about. ”

I would have to agree that “an effective blog search engine” doesn’t necessarily exist yet. Yeah, Yeah, there’s Blogdex, Daypop, etc … and of course the feed aggregators, but perhaps we need something more like Google News, but hive based like Technorati’s Watchlists.

Have a beer with those steamed vegetables

Wed, 01 Jan 2003 03:01:30 +0000

From: NY Times: “Thirty years of research has convinced many experts of the health benefits of moderate drinking for some people. A drink or two a day of wine, beer or liquor is, experts say, often the single best nonprescription way to prevent heart attacks — better than a low-fat diet or weight loss, better even than vigorous exercise. Moderate drinking can help prevent strokes, amputated limbs and dementia.”

LazyWeb recursion

Tue, 31 Dec 2002 12:12:16 +0000

Ben Hammersly creates the fodder feed for the LazyWeb, which IMHO is one of those clever “windshield wiper” ideas that once you see it you’re think, “Man! it’s so obvious, why didn’t someone implement this sooner!” Very ingenious! I hope to contribute!

Fax machines are evil!

Mon, 30 Dec 2002 05:12:07 +0000

Today Doc posts about retiring an old “1980-vintage Panafax PX-100 fax machine”.

However, I have a bigger request. When will we rid the planet of fax machines entirely? I mean, technically do they really have a purpose these days?

It seems that the workflow for faxing is ridiculously wasteful for most fax transmissions.

Basically, I print something just so I can fax it. Why waste the paper? When all I really need to do is email or “remote print” the document.

PHP Caching with JPCACHE

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 09:12:43 +0000

Sweet! I just configured jpcache to cache and gzip compiled pages on hatch.org. So the b2 powered blog should feel snappier. I need to work out a few of the kinks with respect to expiring the cache when there are new posts and/or comments. Plus, I had to trap the gzip compression function in b2, because jpcache does it as well, but for the most part it seems to be working well.

In-Room Chat as a Social Tool

Fri, 27 Dec 2002 09:12:51 +0000

Clay Shirky “… hosted a two-day brainstorming session for 30 or so
people on the subject of social software. In addition to the usual “sit
around a big table and talk to each other” format, [they] set up an
in-room chat channel accessible over the WiFi network which created a
two-channel experience — a live conversation in the room, and an
overlapping real-time text conversation.”

I spent some time today learning about and installing a test version of eZ Publish. I’m still investigating, but so far it seems to have decent workflow and user permissions system. However, it might be overly complex for a blog or small site, but for a site with many contributors and content forms it should be well worth the initial hurdle. I’ll post more as I dig deeper.

“Information technology companies today have a hidden resource that they have

considerable amount of money equipping themselves with strong relational
database expertise. But these relational teams are traditionally isolated and
kept behind the glass doors, primarily supporting the development teams that
churn out end-user applications. This practice largely continues even today as
the programming face of IT moves to the Web.”

“And the company behind the innovative form of advertising is appealing for
owners of larger dogs to register their pooches for future “dogverts”. ”

Seeing Both Sides

Sun, 15 Dec 2002 03:12:22 +0000

Jeremy Zawodny writes, “It’s a rare engineer who can see both sides of the coin: the technology and its application toward achieving a company’s business goals.”

“However, there’s a stranger breed … the engineer who … has little trouble explaining how his work supports the company’s broader goals…”

I think as we put the .com era behind us and as engineers from that time mature, you will see more and more of this “odd creature” — at least I hope so (sans the part about the “difficultly communicating with the more common engineers” :)

Business Model for Music in the Internet Age

Sat, 14 Dec 2002 12:12:48 +0000

Interesting quotes from: I, Cringely | The Pulpit: ” .. classical or jazz, those two genres are already living in the future where musicians survive by performance rather than because they have a recording contract. If they had to rely solely on record sales, Branford Marsalis and Yo-Yo Ma would starve.”

“An enlightened music company would see itself as being in the venture capital business. “

Blogger API 2.0 documentation

Fri, 13 Dec 2002 10:12:33 +0000

Well, I’m happy to see that (so far) the Blogger API 2.0 now supports Titles and Categories. However, I suppose this is also the case with the MetaWeblog API via the struct element. Hmm …

Google introduces Froogle

Thu, 12 Dec 2002 03:12:56 +0000

“Froogle is a new service from Google that makes it easy to find information
about products for sale online. By focusing entirely on product search, Froogle
applies the power of Google’s search technology to a very specific task:
locating stores that sell the item you want to find and pointing you directly to
the place where you can make a purchase.”

I wonder if this is available via Google’s web services API … it would be interesting to expand on Calin Uioreanu’s Amazon PHP API powered Simplest-Shop idea with Froogle.

because they make money breeding dogs with their close relatives. The result is
the doggy equivalent of banjo players and European royals.”

“… the growth of PVRs is inevitable. Almost every Tivo user will tell you that controlling the TV experience is a killer app. The costs are falling inexorably because the devices are based on familiar hardware and software. Broadcasters won’t be able to stop them; they need to develop new business models and marketing mechanisms that don’t depend on 30-second commercials.”

From MSNBC: “Coffee prices are at their lowest level in decades. So why does so much of the coffee you buy taste so bad?”

“This year, coffee makers are increasingly substituting low-quality beans in their ground coffee for high-quality beans … In addition, the purity of the average cup of coffee Â— the ratio of debris like twigs and rotten beans to actual fresh beans Â— has shifted markedly in the unappetizing direction over the past two years.”

My buddy Marc sent me a collection of old gig posters advertising shows from the 80’s at the legendary club City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. Wow! They certainly bring back great memories …

As an angst ridden teenager (who wasn’t ;-), living in the shadow of NYC during the 80’s, my room was wallpapered with these posters. I wish I could find some posters from the old Ritz, Irving Plaza and of course CBGB’s.

Microsoft’s Weblog Software

Fri, 01 Nov 2002 01:11:26 +0000

I wish I wrote this article because I had the same epiphany last year after I evaluated SharePoint Team Services, in that it was ideally suited to be a Webloging tool and many Office XP users didn’t even realize they had it!

Quotes:
“The one player which seems to be fully aware of both the weblog space and SharePoint’s potential is Ray Ozzie‘s Groove Networks, which has fully embraced the SharePoint platform…”

“SharePoint is probably not going to have an impact in the short term. It’s possible that Microsoft will realize the potential of their bCentral service hosting SharePoint sites, and that the MSN team will seize the opportunity to improve the friendliness of the interface and turn it into a commercial mass-market product. The likelihood of that, however, is completly negligible. On the business side, though, Microsoft has pieces in place that put it a full year ahead of any competitor in the areas of network identity integration, document management, and project management functions. “

Giving WiFi equipment away?

Thu, 31 Oct 2002 12:10:05 +0000

This article on CNet almost sounds like it’s from 1999: “The nation’s oldest “hot spot” network plans to give away Wi-Fi equipment starting Friday, in an aggressive push to increase the number of urban areas that offer wireless Web access.”

Woof! Can you hear me now?

Thu, 31 Oct 2002 04:10:43 +0000

This is a fascinating article from NY Times: “A dog collar equipped with a wireless microphone that records a pet’s barks, interprets them as emotions and transmits them as text messages like “I’m bored, let’s play.” (I think I already know that bark all too well ;) …

However, “…could meow-activated cat doors or drug-sniffing police dogs whose barks can be decoded be far behind? “If you can classify the morphology of the signal, it can be synthesized,” said Marc Hauser, a professor of psychology and neurosciences at Harvard University who imagined a system that would let pet owners track down runaway dogs. Playing aloud recorded samples of Rover’s bark while canvassing the neighborhood would elicit responses from nearby dogs, whose voiceprints could then be analyzed instantly for a match. If this sounds far-fetched, remember that Americans spent $30 billion on their pets last year, more than twice as much as in 1994.” Woof!

“WiFi Trek Badges” — The Vocera Communications System consists of Vocera Server Software, residing on a customer premise server, and Vocera Communications Badges, which operate over a wireless LAN (802.11b). The badge – which weighs less than 2 ounces – includes a microphone and speaker, LCD readout to display text messages, and an 802.11b wireless radio. It can be clipped to a shirt pocket or collar, or worn on a lanyard."

Small Business Blogging

Tue, 13 Aug 2002 06:08:31 +0000

A quote from Dan Bricklin’s post about Small Biz Blogging : “An area where blogs can really shine is in crisis management. In addition to internal communications like normal project management, a public blog can be a major way to conduct effective communication with the public and press. Remember the Tylenol package tampering years back? Frequent forthright communication from a senior executive was crucial for maintaining public trust — it is the “textbook” case.”

Blogs May Provide Valuable PR Opportunities

Thu, 08 Aug 2002 11:08:31 +0000

“Publicists have long sought means for reaching highly targeted audiences, including media reps, in order to drive buzz about their clients. With the kind of traffic and targeting that any of the aforementioned sites generate, topic-specific blogs can fit the bill.”

Using Blogs in Business

Thu, 25 Jul 2002 11:07:35 +0000

OMG, I actually agree with Cam … a quote from a quote on Blogroots :

“Where I work, much of the company-wide memorandums and communication is done via e-mail, with some e-mails containing numerous attachments that sometimes weigh in at a hefty one-to-two megabytes. It’d be so much better if these e-mails only referenced documents somewhere on the intranet instead of including them as attachments. The intranet page for each department could be a regularly updated weblog of information currently being circulated. This would solve so many problems with disk space and deleted e-mails, it puzzles me that some corporate intranets haven’t adopted these simple concepts for the easy distribution of information. —Cameron Barrett”

Web journals could have business value

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 06:07:58 +0000

Quotes from an InformationWeek article on Blogging’s business value [Thanks John]:

“weblogging will be a grassroots movement in business in the same way that, say, instant messaging has been.”

“… there’s built-in motivation for people to participate in blogging: They get credit for their ideas. A blog is essentially a repository of a person’s intellectual capital–a record of their thoughts, observations, contributions. People may switch employers, but they’ll take with them electronic journals of their best ideas. Blogging is a way to protect the most important brand of all: yourself.”

Blogging hits the mainstream, for better or worse

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 01:07:48 +0000

Clearly, the hundreds of thousands creating their own blogs, as well as the collective millions who read the blogs, are looking for something they’re not getting in the daily paper.” [more here]

Traction: Enterprise Weblog System

Tue, 16 Jul 2002 10:07:20 +0000

Quote from a review of Traction in InfoWorld “THERE IS STILL NO sure-fire recipe for KM (knowledge management) success, but the ingredients must include the staples of the knowledge worker: e-mail, the Web, and Microsoft Office. With Traction Software’s KM solution, content flowing through all these channels is easily captured by the Java-based Traction Server, which can be best described as an enterprise Weblog system . Documents posted to the server are stored as XML, tagged (in a Web interface) with system-and user-defined terms, made available for full-text and structured search, and served back out as team workspaces, enterprise information portals, or both.” [ more here ]

An interesting sidebar by Jon Udell to an article in InfoWorld on the Google search appliance…

Quotes: “Webloggers are becoming the guerrilla warriors of a KM revolution. And on both sides of the firewall, they and Google are natural allies.”

“The presence of Google motivates in ways that go beyond the trendy appeal of Weblogs. Of course, posted items can be found later on. But more subtly, they participate in a status hierarchy. Google’s PageRank algorithm is all about finding the best document — that is, the most relevant, most authoritative — for each query-defined domain.”

These companies engage in a variety of business practices that are, in our opinion, unethical, fraudulent, and calculated to be opaque and unfriendly to consumers. Despite many well-publicized, and in some cases, frankly nefarious, scandals involving these companies, millions of people continue to patronize them as the registrars for their domain names.”

SpamNet: New spam filtering

Wed, 19 Jun 2002 10:06:51 +0000

For the past few hours I’ve been using Cloudmark’s new P2P based spam filter plug-in for Outlook and so far so good. In addition to my own simple home grown server-based phrase matching spam filter, I’ve only had one bogus message reach my inbox. If I factor out what my own spam filter nabbed, that’s roughly 1 spam out of 5. Not bad. However, given the P2P roots of Coundmark’s spam filter, I can only imagine that it’ll get better and better as more people use the system. So, start using it!

Some quotes: “Beir: A proprietary, fat-client, peer-to-peer, replicated, $49-a-client strategy is not a modern strategy. It’s a very ’90s strategy. Let’s step back to the business problem. A team of people needs to come together rapidly to collaborate on a mission-critical project. There’s rich content, and there are lots of applications. That dictates an architecture that must work very easily across enterprises; it needs to be agnostic about the platform; it needs to be thin-client so it’s easy to deploy; it needs to be enterprise-scalable and 24-by-7.”

When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think ’the people of Afghanistan’ think ’the Jews in the concentration camps.’ It’s not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country.”

Salesforce to record $25 million in revenue

Sat, 25 Aug 2001 04:08:31 +0000

not bad for an ASP “… privately held Salesforce has 2,800 companies that pay it to manage about 50,000 people worldwide, and it is on track to record some $25 million in revenue this year. “The quality of our revenue is special because it’s an annuity, so we know within 1 [percent] to 2 percent what we’ll have in revenue next month,” he says. The company has cash on hand to take it to breakeven early next year, Benioff says. “Our gross margins are on the order of 70 percent, and we could break even sooner, but we are investing in R&D, marketing, branding and increasing our enterprise capability.”

They cover the gamut from self-service access to … portals aimed at improving collaboration and communications among staff. What they have in common is a relatively low cost of implementation and a high return on investment (ROI).”

Best Exercise That’s Also Fun: Mountain Biking

Thu, 14 Jun 2001 04:06:00 +0000

ha! as if we didn’t know … so, who’s up for a ride?

from Men’s Health: “Mountain biking uses tons of energy and tons of muscles and takes a ton of balls, and you aren’t even aware of what it’s doing for your body. A 180-pound guy mountain-biking for an hour will burn almost 700 calories. Bring the mountain to you: Mountain biking has a fitness payoff even when you have no mountain handy. Hit the flat road. Riding a mountain bike takes about a third more effort than riding a road bike, largely because of the increased rolling resistance from the fatter tires and the increased weight of the bike. So if your time is limited and you have a choice of bikes, it’s always better to choose the mountain bike, even if you’ll be riding it on the road. Riding 12 miles on fat tires is the equivalent of doing 15 on skinny.”

Tue, 01 May 2001 02:05:01 +0000

Bike New York is this Sunday (May 6th 2001)! (note: you still can register at the event) However, based on our past experience I put together the following list of things to remember.
before the ride:

tune your bike at least three days before the ride
put on slicks (if you’re riding a mt. bike)
check and adjust your break pads (get new ones if they seem flat)
check your spokes and rims for any loose spokes or rubbing

Online Communities Endure

Mon, 30 Apr 2001 11:04:58 +0000

a good article about how online communities have endured despite the shortage of service offerings.

some good quotes:
“For every story about Internet addiction leading victims to ignore their families and become withdrawn, anti-social, and depressed, there is a countervailing example of a person who has found a support group, employment prospects, or a community of like-minded topical enthusiasts through the ’net.”

“If broadcast, run by large entertainment companies, takes back some of the mindshare that had been gained by interactive media, we risk a tilting of our focus back towards the mindless television watching that threatens to turn our brains to sauerkraut.”

what is project JXTA?

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 11:04:49 +0000

find out today @ 11 am [PDT] during a live webcast when Sun’s Bill Joy and John Gage unveil the P2P philosophy and vision of Project JXTA.

from what i’ve read, “Jxta will offer features such as the ability to create communities, monitoring of the network, fast polling of nodes, and encryption”

Q: What is Project JXTA?

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 02:04:49 +0000

A: Project JXTA started as a research project incubated at Sun Microsystems under the guidance of Bill Joy and Mike Clary. Its goal is to explore a vision of distributed computing using peer-to-peer topology, and to develop basic building blocks and services that would enable innovative applications for peer groups. Recognizing this effort would benefit from expert coders outside of Sun (Joys Law: Innovation Happens Elsewhere), the project has posted a draft of a specification and some prototype code to a web site, www.jxta.org under the Apache Software License, encouraging others to join in our efforts. The project now is evolving daily.

“After remaining virtually unchanged for the past several years, the cost of monthly Internet access via high-speed cable modems could be headed higher. Millions of cable-based Internet customers have grown accustomed to paying about $40 monthly for access. But that fee could become just a fond memory for two recent developments: Leading provider Excite@Home is under extreme pressure to raise cash, and the competition from the DSL (digital subscriber line) industry has already started to raise prices.”
