I've sent an email to the Developer Day address asking if that thank 
you for your RSVP email means that I've been accepted. There's only a 
few cheap train tickets left, but I'd like to make sure I'm confirmed 
before booking!

I did talk to the twitter guys about this issue. I think from there

They're winding you up.

Have you noticed the tricks they're putting in to make you think your
updates are going live?

When you post the post is added to your list on the client side. It's
async-ajaxed to the backend as well. But if you refresh and it hasn't
got back yet it disappears from your list.

Whoops.

I think they know perfectly well how interactive it should be but
they've built it wrong and are now playing catch up.


Nic, sorry, but this is just wrong. The ajax updates are there to  
reduce page compute time, not to try and 'trick people' into thinking  
that it's 'faster'. They really did intend for it to be a status  
update tool, something people would update 2-3 times a day. However  
people are using it real time - and a number of bots are posting  
super frequently (eg, the beeb feeds).


So yes, it was architected badly in the first place, but this doesn't  
mean that they knew what was going to happen

I don't need to define any terms.  Architecht is not a verb.  An
architecht designs things.

Cheers,

Rich.

Re: [backstage] Backstage Podcast number 2

2007-04-16 Thread Jose-Carlos Mariategui
Bruce Schneier was invited last month to give the keynote at LSE for our
annual Social Study of ICT workshop (SSIT7).

You can view the video here:
http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/informationSystems/newsAndEvents/2007events
/schneier.htm

I think that it would be much refreshing to have somebody like the people
from last.fm which have a completely different business model.  Stefan
Glaenzer could be the most suitable.


Best,

Jose-Carlos

 Ok Agreed, but the chances of getting Bruce Schneier (whose blog I read daily)

RE: [backstage] Backstage Podcast number 2 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

2007-04-16 Thread David Gill


A discussion (even if it's a short one) on watermarking as a anti-piracy
approach for video would be good. The EMI deal is a bit of a
breakthrough for music, but video is not really affected. At the
EMI-Apple announcement Jobs seemed to rather heavily dismiss the idea of
dropping DRM for video anytime soon.  
Watermarking isn't something I am very familiar with, it would be good
to hear some knowledgeable people discussing it in a wider context.
