The future is fidgetal Frustration with technology is driving our new scatology

The future is fidgetal

28 December 10 00:54 GMT

"Technology, and the hype that surrounds it, is changing the way we speak. But we dont have to turn into drones, all spouting the latest i-word. Chris Bowlby says its time for the techno-bullied to fight back with their own subversive speak.

With the online Oxford English Dictionary recently re-launched and on the look-out for new language, maybe its time for a counter-revolution.

Can we create a new vocabulary that expresses not marketing mania, but the downside, the frustration, the terrible things we sometimes suspect modern technology is doing to us?

When your cursor makes you a curser, do the necessary words come to mind?

Lets start to talk about the crazily fidgetal, the MisApps, mobile drones and Skypeochondria that afflict us all.

The Trouble with IBM Connections Cloud

The Trouble with IBM Connections Cloud

Im finding myself being increasingly frustrated by IBM Connections.Cloud. It�s a great product, don�t get me wrong. Arguably the most full-featured of its kind. Unfortunately it�s mired by some terrible executive decisions. 

In fact, the problems are so great that it�s pushing us to investigate other products which are �like� connections but are provided by other vendors. 

I came away from an investigation of Microsoft�s Yammer system yesterday shaking my head and saying, �that�s it. Game over�. 

Yesterday afternoon was one of the few times Ive found myself in the uncomfortable position of recommending Microsoft over IBM. 


Today of course is another day. Im a dedicated IT professional, so when I can�t sleep because a system is overwhelming my thoughts, I get up and make a list of my problems.  So, IBM, it�s 3.30am and this one�s on you � and you owe me at least 2 hours of sleep.

Overall thoughts

I can�t fault IBM�s support teams both locally and internationally. They have been brilliant throughout the whole process. Far better than anything Microsoft or Google have ever managed. For the most part, I can�t even fault the product.  It�s technically sound and it does more or less what it�s supposed to, give or take a few silly limitations. Nope. Most of the blame  goes to the licensing team and to management for some truly horrendous decisions.

On-boarding

The gateway to any system is the on-boarding process. At the very least, you have to get this right. There are two parts to on-boarding;

• On-boarding a Company
• On-boarding Users

IBM Connections.cloud manages to screw both of these processes up, so if nothing else, at least it�s consistent. 

On-boarding a Company

Without covering old ground too much, (even though we still haven�t received a licence for our second company -- after about a month of waiting) there are three things wrong with the company on-boarding process;

Real Companies with ABNs Only Please

IBM feel the need to prove that the company is �real� - for example, in Australia, companies need to have an ABN (Australian Business Number). This is fine for registered companies but what happens if you want to on-board something larger than a company, perhaps an international forum?  A fledgling sub-company?  Good luck to you� if it doesnt have an ABN, it doesnt exist.

Microsoft�s Yammer on the other hand happily on-boards anything that has its own domain. 

A Fast Onboarding Process that Fails to Collect Information

Then there�s the on-line forms process for on-boarding.  It�s really slick and fast but it doesnt actually ask any of the questions that need to be answered. There�s a separate paper and signature based form for that -- and even then, the IBM provisioning team seem to ignore what you write and make their own choices. Again, Yammer wins hands down with a complete process that takes only a few minutes.

Segregated Data Centres

I said before that this was the single failing of IBM Connections.Cloud.  I was wrong, there are many other failings but I�d say this one is still the worst. When your company is created, it gets put (almost randomly) in one of three data centres (the US, Europe or Asia). This would be fine except that communication can�t happen between the data centres.  That�s right, people in the US can�t communicate with people in Asia.  For a platform based on collaboration, blocking messaging is a big, big mistake.

On-boarding a Person

The on-boarding process for a user is much better. It�s a bit wordy and �disclaimery� and a bit disjointed too but I would have said it was pretty good - if I hadnt seen the Yammer on-boarding process.  The two big flaws with personal on-boarding are;

• Single-Emails: If youve already used your email address somewhere else in connections, for example at one of the other data centres, then it�s �dead�. It�s tied to that data centre and as mentioned previously, there�s no communication between data centres. This might be fine if you have a single organisation collaborating together but if you�re an association which collects members and guests from other organisations around the world, it makes business impossible. 

• A lack of Wizardry: The Yammer on-boarding process used some very slick screens to navigate the new user through setting up their account, joining companies, adding friends, setting up their profile and introducing the system.  The IBM on-boarding process simply dumps the user in connections in the hope that they�ll figure out where to go to from there. 

Friends and @Mentions

This was bit that �broke� the system for our people.  They presumed that that, as with most social platforms, they could add guests and then draw their attention via @Mentions.  This works extremely well within companies, so clearly there�s no technical problem with the @Mention system itself.

Unfortunately, without some very, very painful user-based processes, you can�t @Mention anyone who is not a member of your company.  You can�t @Mention guests even though they are members of your community.

The Worst Friend-Request System Ever

In order to @Mention a guest, you need to �Friend Request� them first. Then they have to accept. This might not be so bad but the Friend Request system is absolutely terrible. In order to Friend Request someone, you need to go into your personal contacts and add the person manually to your contacts. To do this, you need to type in at least their name and email address. If you don�t know which email address they�re using for connections, then you can�t add them.

Once people are added to your contacts list, you then need to go in and individually send them �invitations to connect�, and then you have to wait for them to accept.  By this time, your requirement to @mention them has pretty much expired.

Of course, I found a way to upload a CSV file which takes a little of the pain out of the first part of the process but considering that Microsoft�s Yammer lets you talk directly to members in your community without any further action, I think it�s too little, too late.

Broken by Design

The worst part about this however is that it was apparently �broken by design�.  The earlier versions of IBM connections.cloud were far more open and for legal or other reasons, those loopholes were closed. This means that there is no technical reason why the system couldnt be better.  It also means that because the �holes� were clumsily closed, the system tends to go to horrible error-message screens when you hit parts of the old functionality.

This is simply a very bad choice of reaction from IBM. A much better choice would be to change the person profiles so that you could have a choice of;

• A community-public edge to your profile (ie visible to all - @mentions within shared communities without needing explicit friendships)
  
• A completely hidden to all profile (ie: the current friend request system)
  
• A list of Trusted domains or companies (ie: @mentions restricted to domains/companies and profiles visible to certain domains/companies only).

All existing Connections.cloud profiles should default to �completely hidden� and all members of the community should be sent a message explaining the differences and how to change it. This would fix the problems in the current system.  From there, all new users could be asked to make the choice as part of the user on-boarding process. The default setting could be set at the company level too.

It�s a simple fix that IBM needs to implement ASAP.

The Capabilities of Guests

One of the most important features of IBM Connections is the Guest System.  The idea that you can invite a guest to connections in order to exchange files with you or participate in your communities.

Apart from the guest problems Ive discussed earlier;

• A sloppy on-boarding process 
• Inability to invite guests if their email has been used at another data centre
• Inability to @mention guests without completing a process too complex for new users

There�s also a few other issues;

Lack of Status Updates

One of the first things I noticed about Yammer was that guests have a status update bar. That�s right, guests can post updates (which can include @mentions and hashtags).  In fact, Yammer encourages guests to introduce themselves when they are added to a community. Connections on the other hand does not allow guests to post status updates.

No Collaborative Document Editing for Guests

Then there�s collaborative document editing. If you�re a fully paid subscriber of IBM Connections, you can edit documents using the built in �IBM Docs� editor.  It�s not a particularly good editor, not compared to Office 365 online or the even better (in my opinion) Google Docs but it does the trick.

Unfortunately, if you�re a guest, you are denied the use of these tools and have to download documents, edit them and then re-upload them.

Initially I was okay with this but then I looked a Yammer. Yammer lets people use the online versions of Office 365

Really?  If Microsoft can run their flagship cash-cow product on a freemium model for Yammer users then IBM must be able to offer IBM Docs to guests. In a world full of free apps (thank you Google Docs) and quality open source alternatives (thank you Libre Office), who pays for the bare essentials of content creation these days?

This is simply unacceptable. 

The Outline Screen and Clutter

The last major flaw of IBM Connections.cloud is, in my opinion, the outline screen. As I said before, connections is far more fully-featured than any of the competing systems. It has great sub-systems like wiki�s, blogs, surveys and activities � and it seems that new modules are coming all the time.

There�s nothing really wrong with these options. It�s all a matter of the outline screen.

The focal point of any community is its start page and in IBM connections, you can choose from several options for the start page. The Wiki is offered as an option but it�s restricted to the welcome page -- and you can�t have any �side apps�, such as tags and calendars.

The outline page is really the best start page of the lot. Unfortunately, there are a few major flaws;

Graphics cant be Directly Added to Outlines

Despite years of badgering (Ive read the forums), you can�t add graphics to the outline, at least not directly. You have to upload them to the Wiki (or files if you enjoy lots of broadcasts) and then link to them from there. Since the rest of connections seems to support uploads, it makes no sense why the one part that would benefit from this feature misses out.

All Components (except updates) Must be Shown on the Outline

If you decide to have a component in your community, for example a survey or a wiki, then you MUST show it on the outline screen -- even if it�s not relevant at the time. You can collapse these items to start with but they still expand for new users.  There�s an option to �hide� these items but hiding them essentially removes them from your community. If you�re going to use the outline screen, you�re going to have to get used to clutter.

Compare this to the Yammer screens, they�re calm, clean and easily navigable. 

Community Status Updates Cannot be shown on the Outline

You can�t include community status updates on the outline screen. This is pretty amazing, as one of the most important things about any community is the status updates.  You�d think that the outline layout which introduces far too much clutter would at least be all-inclusive but it�s not. Status updates are simply not available there. It�s a shame because people have been asking for them too, for years, in the IBM forums.

No HTML in the Outline

If theres one part of Community that would benefit from HTML, its the outline page. This would allow you to integrate your own systems (via iFrames and other devices) and it would allow you to use widgets from other sources. More importantly, having HTML would allow you a lot more control over the layout of the outline.

Where to Now?

I really can�t be sure where we are going now.  For a while there I was so sure that our future was going to be IBM Connections but it�s really not looking like the product will meet our needs. It�s a big decision to make because it won�t just affect connections going forward. It will affect all of our systems, our domino systems, the intended move to bluemix and our xpages development plans.

If nothing else, I�m at least reassured. If we lose IBM now, it won�t be for lack of trying and it won�t be because people made an emotional decision to go to Microsoft.  It will simply be that IBM has �mismanaged� themselves into delivering a sub-par set of rules around an otherwise quality product.

The trouble with parking

The trouble with parking

Theres a high school about a block away. Kids park all along the streets nearby. I shook my head at seeing someone back into a spot so that the car behind them had, at most, two feet of clearance on both ends of their car. Good luck getting out of that spot.

You know how it is. You park, you go into the store or restaurant or wherever, and your shoulders slump when you come and see that some impossible parking situation has developed. (Click)

[After I took this photo, I laughed when a guy (with his buddies) started to pull his car into the spot to the right of my car. The expressions on their faces...you could tell they were trying to make sense of consequences of parking their car.]

The love affair with freenx is over time to make the marriage work

The love affair with freenx is over time to make the marriage work

It seems that not much survives contact with students!

Basically if the freenx session isnt correctly terminated or established then desktop processes and a nx process are left running to the server which will prevent them logging in again.

However I am not the first person to notice this:

PSI Labs who use the technology have developed a RPM of scripts to manage this properly called nxcleanup. A user session has the standard number of processes for the desktop however there is an associated nx process that the student doesnt own. So the script nxclean would need to be run as root.

How do I enable a student to run a script as root that wipes out processes of an arbitary user?

Simple: Use a setuid "shim"! Write a trivial C program that takes no inputs (or has very, very thorough sanity checking!) which identifies the current user using posix calls and then execs the script after passing it the current username. Nifty eh? This is a standard way of making scripts run safely as root. Ill post it as soon as I am done.

The Memory Problems with the Blackberry Bold

The Memory Problems with the Blackberry Bold

Ive been complaining for some time about the horrible memory problems on the Blackberry Bold. Ive been running most of the same applications on the 9000 as I did on the 8800 and its clear that theres a massive memory leak.

Not only that, but the battery life has been abysmal compared to the the 8800.

Well.... no more.

Problem Solved
Blackberry have released a patch for the Bold which updates the firmware to 4.6.0.365

Ive been running for several weeks on this patch and havent had to reboot once since applying it. The battery life is back up to the 3+ days Ive come to expect from the Blackberry too.

The Many Faces Of God Mode In Windows 7 With Script

The Many Faces Of God Mode In Windows 7 With Script

Some of you may already be familiar with "God Mode" in windows 7. It was a special tool which the Windows developer team left for their sake to make enabling and disabling several of Windows functions quick and easy. However there are more than one of these, I have found 39 and will show you how to access them and also provide a script to do that. It should be noted that these are for Windows 7 and will not work on windows XP (although there are some GUID tricks there to, these just arent them). The default God Mode was to add ".{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" to the end of a folder. So for example if you create a folder titled "Main GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" it would create a folder called "Main GodMode" which when double-clicked would give you what you see below instead of an empty folder.


However, this is just another parlor trick by the windows explorer. Looking at it from the command line and you will see its still just a folder, But windows handles it differently.


Looking into the Windows Registry, you can see it is actually accessing a DLL Function in the shell32.dll file in the system32 folder.


With some searching I was able to create a batch file script that will create these "Modules". The script will create a folder in where every it is run called "GodModes" then create 39 known God Mode folders under it for you to use, which gives you a decent "this is what the Control Panel should have been" Folder.


Without further delay. Here is the script.
==================================================================
@echo off
rem \\\\\\\\\\\\
rem this script will create a folder in its
rem Current Directory called GodModes and then
rem create several "God Mode folders under it
rem Which in Windows vista7 will trigger some
rem Control Panel as well as hidden functions
rem Hidden in some of windows system DLLs.
rem
rem Note: Some of these do NOT work on vista.
rem For Those it will just show a folder.
rem Also one of these only works on win7 Ultimate
rem Which is the BitLocker Module
rem \\\\\\\\\\\\

The Homeworld IP Is Seeing a Resurgence with the Remastered Collection and Homeworld Shipbreakers

The Homeworld IP Is Seeing a Resurgence with the Remastered Collection and Homeworld Shipbreakers

So several months ago, I saw this video:




thought it too good to be true and didnt pay it any heed. I was thinking it wouldnt disappoint me if the project crashed and burned but I didnt emotionally invest in it.




Now however, with Gearbox just having release the Homeworld: Remastered Collection on Steam, I viewed the video again and holy @$^@# it just dawned on me: is the game going to take place before the very first Homeworld game? Because the wreck---even the way it juts out from the desert---looks like the derelict the Hiigarans dug out from the dunes and so paved the way to make interstellar flight possible for their race.

UPDATE: I googled for Homeworld: Shipbreakers and yes, it turns out that it is indeed a prequel! WOOT!
