UWB Standards Efforts Break Down (Nov 13 2003 19:29 GMT) - The two groups developing ultrawideband (UWB) technology failed to come to agreement on a single solution: As a result, the IEEE group responsible for finalizing the standard didn't get the votes required to move onto the next stage of the standardization process. That means ultimately the two groups, the Multiband-OFDM Alliance on one side and Motorola, which recently announced intentions to acquire Xtreme Spectrum, on the other, may develop separate standards. Analysts are concerned that a splintered vendor market may prohibit UWB from success, and rightly so. |

a mighty wind (Nov 13 2003 19:27 GMT) - Kurt wrote a morning verse about the wind today. I guess we're getting that wind here now. This afternoon, here in Baltimore, the wind is blowing so hard my front door has opened for it to come in about a half-dozen times so far, and the trees are bowing to each other like they're at a squaredance. I'm watching the 60-foot sycamore out my office window, noting the direction of the wind and calculating the direction the boughs will fall if they snap off in the gusts. The wind doesn't so much whistle past my window as much as it moans, like tearing cloth. |

disreport.com (Nov 13 2003 19:26 GMT) - Over the next few weeks I am going to be working on a news site for all things Disney - anything that might have a positive or negative change in stock value. I own stock in Disney, so this is something I keep an eye on anyway, but I thought it might be beneficial to start a site where I could make a central location for that information to share it with others in a quick and intuitive manner. I'll be giving URL's for the work in progress soon, but in the meantime I thought I would get the idea out there so any readers who would be interested in such a site please let me know - and pass the word around to anyone else whom you think it might benefit. |

For the past year, I ... (Nov 13 2003 19:25 GMT) - For the past year, I have been fighting with character encoding problems in order to support a Japanese client. Unfortunately, the application that I am supporting was originally written without internationalization in mind and for a long time, we have been storing shift-JIS text as Latin. Over the past month or so, I have been working on a complete rewrite of that codebase to switch everything over to Unicode, but it has been a painful process. Trying to figure out how it all works has been like finding your way around an unfamiliar room blindfolded. Anyway, I have been successful, but only after a great deal of pain. |
