Wednesday, May 15, 2002Digital Information Expiration Dates
Should personal information available on the Internet have an expiration date? This is a question I have been contemplating since I posted a comment to another story. As more and more schools, companies, political/religious/social/professional associations come to realize the benefits and ease of keeping in touch with their membership via email and the internet, more and more information about specific individuals is being made publicly accessible. Information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, association memberships, email addresses, professional/social affiliations and such are not "sensitive" information, per se, but do leave a significant trail for a specific individual who may not want all that information available to the general public. So, the question I have is: should there be a moratorium on how long this information is kept on public web pages?

Multi-Interface Web Services Made Easy
This is not about the relative merits or weaknesses of SOAP, XML-RPC, or REST, nor will it attempt address the reasons why you might choose one and not another. The goal here is to demonstrate that, with a little forethought and a few Perl modules, you can easily create useful Web applications that can accessed from any or all of these types of clients.

Web Services for the Real World: A User-Centered Examination
To date, many web services discussions have focused on the creation, rather than the implementation, of services. This session takes a user-centered approach and examines what can be done with existing services to easily add functionality to a website. Meg Hourihan avoids the technical vocabulary of web services (UDDI, WSML, etc.) to focus on ease-of-use and practicality. We will also discuss the real world repercussions for a site that depends on external sources for content and/or functionality.

PKI and SSL: house of cards?
Richard Forno, chief security officer for ShadowLogic, takes a dim view of the PKI industry. Digital trust is a slick marketing tool put out by the PKI industry. DoD wants smartcards with certs by 2004. What's the value of that? I don't know. They don't know. Un article de fond, qui pose les vrais bonnes questions...

Alternatives to the Registry
Microsoft Corp. now stores system configuration information in binary format in its Windows registry, but other vendors take different approaches to achieve the same goal. Discusses GConf, MacOSX's scheme, Sun's scheme, etc. Apple Computer Inc.'s Mac OS X already stores user settings in standard flat files using the XML format, company spokesman Bill Evans says. The operating system has an application called System Preferences that contains the controls users need to customize system settings... Allez lire la suite!

Gregor, the next generation XSLT compiler
Gregor compiles XSLT stylesheets into binary Java classes that can be executed anywhere, stored in databases, collected in jar files, sent over the net, etc. Gregor's output, Java classes called 'translets' (the term coined for the author's first presentation of XSLTC at WWW9 Conference in Amsterdam 2000), are just a regular Java classes of the form Java compilers produce.

Blogger Pro Goes All RSS on Us!
RSS generation (is) working in Blogger Pro now. It took a while to get it in there, but I like how it works. It gives a fair amount of control, so your feed is something you won't mind people synidicating—without having to change drastically how you write your blog.
