This means that the light we're seeing from that star today actually left the star around when you were born, and has taken your entire life to reach Earth. |

embedding image directly in a page (Dec 15 2003 23:49 GMT) - Ha ha, Alistair being witty again. Well yes okay I admit I have a crap sense of humour, but that's not the point of this entry. Look closer, use your web browser's "view source" functionality to see how I added the picture. The first thing you'll notice is that there's a huge ugly HTML table there. The second is that there's no tag. |

Mining the intranet. Of course ... (Dec 15 2003 23:47 GMT) - Mining the intranet. Of course sites such as Amazon and Google have reasons to create formal APIs and gate access to them. But on an enterprise intranet the threat is disuse, not overuse. You're publishing information that you want people to find, exploit, and recombine. When it's appropriate to use SOAP and WSDL -- for example, when queries require fancy authorization or complex inputs -- then do so. |

Frank Nuovo of Nokia at the Design Museum (Dec 15 2003 23:46 GMT) - I wandered up to London this evening to go and see Frank Nuovo of Nokia talk at the Design Museum. I hadn't seen him before, and found him a good speaker, if a little self-promotional (which is hardly surprising given his achievements - I'm sure in his position I'd be insufferable). I didn't take any notes during the talk itself, but a few points I can remember now (sitting on my train back down to the seaside) include: Details of how the design group at Nokia were first responsible for many of the aspects of phone UI which we take for granted today: the grouping of keys into control keys (softkeys etc) and alphanumeric keypad, the placement of the on/off button well away from these, and so on. |
