Sean Gallagher: "The government case was crafted by morons."   An idea is in the air in blogging land, a global identity system so you don't have to re-enter your name, email address and weblog url in every comment system you visit. Of course the idea has been around for a while, but perhaps there's a will to implement it now. Centralized systems definitely have a place in the panoply of Internet software. Or is it pantheon. Perhaps it's the parthenon. Anyway, speaking of centralized systems, it appears Daypop is gone again? Ohhh do I miss it. Thanks for all the kind email about my dad. I think the prayers will help. I expect I'll be in NY before the end of the week. He's the one person I'd most like to have a talk with. Ain't that funny. A couple of weeks ago, no problem -- pick up the phone, make a call. Today, it's impossible. You know the moral of the story, but I'll say it anyway. Do it today, tomorrow may be too late. Jon Udell explains that early next year Groove will add a SOAP-over-HTTP interface. This is good. It means that then, an enterprising developer should be able to integrate Groove capabilities with website authoring for Radio and/or Manila. NY Times: "A start-up company plans to announce new antenna technology on Monday that it says can expand the limits of a popular wireless Internet format, providing access to hundreds or even thousands of portable computer users at distances of more than 2,000 feet within buildings and about four miles outdoors." Wired: "Vivato's prototype panel is about 2-by-4 feet in size and a few inches thick. Resembling a cubicle half-wall left lying around the office, it contains the array of antennas, a 1-unit high rack mount server (or at least the components of one), and sports only a power cord and gigabit Ethernet jack on its exterior." Mitch Kapor: "Announcing a project without having code to show, that is, committing an act of vaporware, is generally not regarded as a best practice in the software world. It lessens credibility and heightens cynicism. So why did we do just that?" |
