Somewhere on the path to Mordor....

"We hates them, the nasty Linuxies!", hissed Darllum. "They STOLE the precious from us. Evil Linuxies! We hates them!"
"But Linuxies helps us!", he wimpered. "They gives us nice IPO...they gives us Kernel Personality. SAMBA is our friend!"
"We don't have any friends!", he spat, eyes glowing with hatred and fury. "Evil, tricksie Linuxies! They STOLE it! We HATES them!"

"OK, Sam", sighed Frodo, "I've changed my mind. You can kill him now."

Double Murder Rocks Neighborhood

The bodies of a prominent Paradise Valley couple were found after fire crews put out a fire in their home.

Two other henious crimes in Paradise Valley recently

"One of the neighbors, I won't mention who, is just frightened to death," Sorenson said.

NeoOffice/J
NeoOffice/J 0.8.2 is highly recommended if you're on OS X. It has tons of scary this-is-beta-and-might-not-even-work warnings, but it does. It seems snappier, looks somehow better (is it the font smoothing?), the command/ctrl keys work like you'd expect (not reversed, as with the X11 version), and it works better for drag-n-drop opening files. -m
Why Pick XForms?
This is essentially a snapshot of today's talk at the Gilbane conference.

So why should you pick XForms vs. some non-XForms system?

1) The uninstaller argument
If you had two functionally similar pieces of software, one with a great uninstaller, and one with a tedious/manual uninstall, which would you install first on your own system? I thought so. Ironically, having a great uninstaller gives users peace of mind, making them *less* likely to actually uninstall the program. Open standards, with the associated non-lock-in, have the same effect.

2) Cost of change
Another way to look at the lock-in situation: even a mid-sized organization can have 1000 forms around. If each has a design/production/review cycle of 8hrs, that's an investment of 4 Man-years. Does it make more sense to invest that much in a single-source solution, or something that could be reused/shopped around? If you have a dozen forms, go ahead and try anything. For serious amounts of, use standards.

3) Metadata needs standards too
Forms are metadata. It doesn't seem obvious at first, but it's true. Forms provide a context and interpretation for a core piece of data. Metadata needs to be standardized as much as regular data, maybe more.

4) Choosing your point on the continuum
It's not like you can draw a black and white diagram of "standards-based" and "non-standards-based" software. It's all shades of gray. The flipside of this is that useful standards support isn't a checklist feature. Lots of forms systems have long lists of individual standards supported, but still use a proprietary layer that effectively negates many of the usual benefits of open standards. You have to pick the point on the continuum at which you are comfortable. -m

Lost Songs
Apparently, the Apple store does not let you redownload songs you've paid for. Despite the "FairPlay" DRM, that the tracks are only authorized to play on up to 3 computers. It would be trivial for them to allow this, but they prefer to have their customers pay again. Since you're not buying any physical media, you'd think they'd attempt to make it a little more robust.

The system seems to conspire against you. Tracks on your iPod aren't visible as files. Then when you connect your iPod to a newly-formatted Mac, it cheerfully offers to wipe all the tracks off your iPod. So there's a point there where you still have the track--could even listen to it--but have no choice but to erase it. Grr. -m
Posting Frequency
Notice I've been posting more lately? I have. At the day job, I've switched to an online note format (plain text + jEdit is an amazing combination).

It's probably not a coincidence that getting into the habit of posting your thoughts online carries over to the off hours. -m
