Apple's iPhone 3G is pretty darn impressive
When the first iPhone came out I dismissed it pretty quick because I was addicted to my AciveSync DirectPush on my Windows Mobile (WM) 6 device and because the ATT network it was tired to is just slow. All the while I switched my MP3 player over to an iPod Touch and fell in love with the UI & iTunes. Then, upon hearing Apple was adding support for ... [Source: http://andrewconnell.com]

Haha look at the fan-boy go, first a MBP and now an iPhone!
Just razzing ya AC.
But a real question/ comment. As a MOSS developer do you have any thoughts on generating iPhone-targeted content from MOSS?
We've just done our first iPhone targeted site (but using a different .NET based CMS) and it got me wondering how you would do iPhone targetting from MOSS...
Thanks for that tip AC.
Check out SharePoint on the iPhone:
http://sharepointmagazine.net/news/microsoft-sharepoint-on-the-iphone
its Yet to launch in India, once it does .. .. lets see.
I know the iPod Touch is pretty neat in all but I'm surprised you aren't sporting a player that supports subscription based content. For me music is the key to my media player so that's a pretty big deal.
I bought my fiance the Instinct from Sprint, I think it's the one you were mentioning, I liked it so much that I exchanged my Mogul in for it. Two 5.7 hr batters, voice command, turn by turn nav, text, picture & video messages (which I didn't ever get into until now). It only has 2gb storage but that's why we both have 80gb Zunes. I think it supports 25 email accounts including two flavors of exchange. I believe I setup mine to the owa option but I'm not sure. There hasn't been any features added yet but there are a few decent email settings. The voice activated Live Search is great and has good weather & wave report features I use. There are the other things I'm not to interested in, Sprint TV & Radio, news, etc. Sprint Desktop Sync keeps my contacts intact. $130 a pop was an easy decision (although the final deal was that I have a 3rd line up for renewal when WM7 is released).
Like you mentioned about the downloadable apps for WM, there are some really great ones that can really recreate all the features of these new phones. The screens just aren't great though.
In response to John Ross, there just hasn't been any demand for phones with power. The only real clients have been the corporations who would rather save a little cash than have a phone have some extra ram, brighter screen etc.
I'm going to let a little loose here because I'm curious what you think. Obviously it has to do with the iPhone, well it has more to do with the respectable mobile phone review sites. It is very annoying to read a mobile phone review which compares these new similar phones. They will list many of the features that most mobile phones do and that users want/use: Picture/Video Mail, voice command, real GPS navigation, keyboard options while text messaging. I then read that the iPhone can't perform them but the, wait all, reviewers start talking about a pretty screen for video playback, youtube access, the store, etc and then say that it's all worth it. I keep thinking to myself, "Is this a review for a mobile phone or is it a mobile media player review which includes mobile phones in the lineup?". I then start to drift off and imagine a mobile phone review which features mobile media players; "This phone can do free streaming HD movies & music, store a few hundred gigs, browse the internet with your mind, it just doesn't make phone calls… It sure has my vote though!

I don't ask for respect. Respect is earned. And earned by action, NOT by belief. No atheist deserves respect for being an atheist and I have never asked for it.
I only ask for theists to listen. I rail against insults, but in the end, all I demand is that you think and are consistant.
Why is it so hard for people like you to understand? The truth … the truth simply is. Why do you insist on blinding yourself to it? I know that now, as always, revealing the truth to people who refuse to see it.
As always, I can see. I can see that I am right and you are wrong. How do I know? What clue shows and informs me constantly?
The fact that theists CONSTANTLY claim knockout arguments… and then never give. Only those who claims are weak conceal their reasoning.
Comment by Samuel Skinner | July 13, 2008
I meant to say somewhere in this post that I do not respect others' atheism mainly because I do not respect my former atheism.
I went from an ignorant Christianity to an ignorant atheism. I realized that my bias against Christianity was based, not on whether or not it was true, but on my preferance for it not to be true. When I objectively looked at the information, I could no longer suppress the fact that Christianity is true.
Samuel, you say that "theists CONSTANTLY claim knockout arguments… and then never give."
You are right in that I gave no argument against atheism here, but my intention was not to give such an argument here. My intent in the post yesterday was to recommend Robertson's book, which shows the plethora of holes in Dawkins' book.
My purpose here was just to say that humility is indeed needed in discussing truth, but that atheism does not deserve respect because it has earned no respect. Atheist arguments take half-truths and non-truths, and argue as if they were knockout arguments.
We can discuss the numerous things that I think amount to a knockout argument in favor of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, if you would like.
Thanks,
David
Comment by bigham | July 13, 2008
I found the title to this post interesting because a vigorous debate has been taking place in atheist circles in recent years on the corresponding question from the opposite perspective: To what extent should we respect religion?
Some, observing that religion enjoys a privileged position in social discourse in which it is largely protected from criticism and even more so from disrespect by a social taboo on such behavior, argue that we should end this taboo and respect religious views no more than most other public social views in order to enable the merits of religious ideas to be freely and fully discussed and, they hope, debunked.
Others argue that religion should not be respected and, indeed, should be ridiculed, thinking that that may be an effective way to shake up people's thinking and, it is hoped, lead to their reconsideration and rejection of religion.
Others argue the opposite, i.e., that religion should be respected, or at least not ridiculed, because honey brings people around better than vinegar.
Others argue for respecting religion, fearing a backlash that would only complicate any larger dialogue about religion's validity and set back any prospect of reducing religion's sway.
It is interesting to see that folks on both sides of this discussion wonder about respecting the other's views.
Comment by Doug Indeap | July 13, 2008
Thanks for your comment, Doug.
It is great to be reminded of how central that Christ, and Him crucified, is to this debate. If not for the gospel of Jesus Christ and its importance, then I would say that I see where you are coming from. We could say that this is just an example of "six-to-one, half-a-dozen-to-the-other," where the only hope is just to "agree-to-disagree."
However, my response here is the same as my response to Samuel's comment, although your comment and his were quite different.
The centrality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although, as I said in the post, presenting the truth in humility is necessary to avoid rejection of truth based on the presentation rather than the truth itself, at the end of the day what really matters is the truth itself.
As the apostle Paul says, our hope for resurrection is directly related to Jesus' resurrection. If He was raised, those who believe in Him, repent of their sins, and persevere in faith to the end will also be raised. If He has not been raised, then we will not be raised, and we are of all men most to be pitied.
So, if you guys are up for discussing the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, I'm absolutely in.
Thanks for the comments, I'm honored that you guys read what I have to say!

"The Centrality of the Resurrection"
(That is a link to my latest post, where I argue about the centrality of the Resurrection from the Christian perspective. As of now, I'm planning for this to be the first part of 3, with the second being basically a "if the Resurrection happened, then what," and the third being my argument that the Resurrection did indeed happen. Love to hear any thoughts along the way from you guys, Chris, Samuel, and Doug, as well as anybody else who reads this!)

re: When doing research, ALWAYS consider the source 7/8/2008 4:58 PM Kanwal Khipple

JDP-
You totally missed my point. I'm saying they are haters on the product because they aren't "cheerleaders"... there's a way you can be unbiased and critical in a report. The experimentation / business forced comments were straight from Tony's blog post that I cited... NOT from the report.
Well, our takeaway from CMSWatch is that Sharepoint isn't a total "slam-dunk" for ease of deployment. We carefully planned out our usage scenarios and had to deal with (and therefore mitigate) a lot of potential problems before, and reinforced the importance of IT governance in sharepoint; working hand in hand with your users . Their report was a good guide, and helped us quite a bit.
And honestly, there is a bit of "nobody ever got fired for buying microsoft" when it comes to sharepoint -- I've talked with people who expected it to be a replacement for shared drives, or a way for users to control their own content, and wound up with dense, unmanagable sites. These people who didn't do their planning, or just "threw it over the wall" will wind up with disappointed users. I'm personally happy that that wasn't the case with our deployment.
Hi there,
as one of the authors of the CMS Watch report on SharePoint (The SharePoint Report 2008) and a principal at CMS Watch I felt I had to answer this one ;-)
The fact is there is a lot of positive comment from us regarding MOSS, and any reader of our extensive research would know that - at every presentation we make on the topic we stress the fact that we think MOSS is an excellent product.
However, it is not perfect - and there are occasions when it is not a good fit for buyers, and buyers are who we write for not vendors. Vendors are criticized equally by CMS Watch - and we never ever work for vendors. This is a stark contrast to other analyst firms out there.
MOSS is a good product - but unfortunately too many people have bought it to use in unsuitable situations - it has been miss sold by the channel - sometimes accidentally sometimes deliberately. Microsoft's own definition of ECM differs from the rest of the industry causing more confusion. And frankly there are some major deployments out there in Fortune 500 firms that have gone terribly wrong.
So we see our job as dishing out the good and the bad - ensuring buyers are well informed and well armed. The cheerleading we will leave to the vendors - be that Microsoft, EMC, IBM or anyone else.
Hope this helps to clarify ;-)
Best
Alan
Alan-
I beg to disagree. I have read the content and everything I read puts a negative spin on SharePoint... nothing seems unbiased. My comments are being confused with unbiased evaluations and cheerleading. I am not saying you are not cheerleaders... you shouldn't be based on who you are. I'm simply saying that everything I see publically from CMS Watch finds the positives in SharePoint, while assuming the negatives rather than presenting both of them in an unbiased fashion. Have I read every single report? No... but I've seen some and it matches the tone that I read in your public RSS feeds.
You speak about presentations too. I have had numerous customers who have had the exact same experience after reading your reports that attend your presentations: they require cleanup after consuming your content. I will say that all of this seems to come from just a few specific people at CMS Watch.
Even if you think CMSWatch went a little hard against SharePoint WCM, overall I think it's good to have them around.
And I attended a recent session by Tony Byrne, and while he had several criticisms of SharePoint, he could back up his criticism with details, i.e. it wasn't just uninformed MS-bashing, it was informed MS-bashing :)
It seems like CMSWatch is the only place in the world that provides a detailed critique of SharePoint; everyone else is either selling software (MS), services (consultants, includes me), or even just currying favor with Microsoft (everyone, includes me). Maybe they're too critical; I don't know. But I'd rather have one biased report than no report at all.
I'd also rather "clean up" after criticism than "clean up" after cheerleaders--I seem to do a lot more of the "cleaning up after cheerleaders," and I'm not totally happy about that.
Final note, before I go way long: I think you, AC [MVP], the WCM guy, can do any WCM implementation successfully, whereas many of us just don't have the skills or experience--e.g. the rest of us struggle with content deployment failures--so a lot of their criticisms are valid, just not for your projects.

Just saw the movie and I think this is an excellent analysis Sadie. This movie reminded me of the perils of hoarding our knowledge. Interestingly, the fact that Wall-E WAS so willing to share his knowledge turned out to be critical to his very survival. His sharing of knowledge enabled others to help him when he needed it. Sometimes we think there is value in being the only one who can do something, but quite the opposite is true. In the corporate world, we've been led to believe that sharing our knowledge hinders our value in the company. Wall-E beautifully reminds us that often it is those who readily share their knowledge who often are the greatest beneficiaries of that sharing.

Hi. Lovely script. Just wanted to say that there really should be an option for just passing on the max length on function call instead of having it somewhere in the HTML. When using it in my own system, I made a tiny hack to add the option 'length'.
edit: The hack was to change this code (around line 34):
limit = settings.useInput ? $form.find('input[name=maxlength]').val() : $field.attr('maxlength'),
to this:
limit = settings.length ? settings.length : settings.useInput ? $form.find('input[name=maxlength]').val() : $field.attr('maxlength'),
shirl August 18th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Hey, thanks for this. Is there any way we can use this on a page with multiple controls (all have the same word limit though)? Sorry if this sounds naive..im still very much a beginner in jQuery!
shirl August 19th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Think I figured it out.. Basically, replaced line $charsLeft = $form.find(settings.feedback); with
$charsLeft = $field.parent().find("span[class=wordsLeft]"); . Hence, instead of specifying a particular span tag, it automatically finds corresponding sibling span tag and updates with words/characters left.
shirl September 4th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Word count doesn't seem to work in IE7.
field.value.split(/(s+)/, (limit*2)-1).join('')
In firefox, the split keeps the whitespace in array, in IE7 it looses the whitespace.
Is there a fix for this? Thanks!
Daniel Kim September 10th, 2008 at 5:34 am
any thoughts on supporting the metadata plugin? not sure if I did it correctly, but I made the following changes to utilize the metadata plugin:
1. moved the length function within the "return this.each(function() { . . . })" block
2. added this line within the block:
var opts = $.metadata ? $.extend( {}, settings, $(this).metadata() ) : settings;
3. changed all references to the "settings" variable within the block to "opts"
4. changed the assignment of the limit variable
limit = settings.useInput ? $form.find('input[name=maxlength]').val() : opts.maxlength ? opts.maxlength : $field.attr('maxlength'),

Charlie,
Just be wary of "hiding" verses access control. A large portion of SharePoint functionality is predictable. I'm not the only query string hacker out there.
If I see a list with a hidden toolbar, I display an item then switch the URL to EditForm.aspx instead of DispForm.aspx to see if I have edit permissions.
If I don't have edit permissions, I "step-through" ID's to check if I have access to other records not listed. Auto-increment integers are predictable and open to manipulation if you don't set permissions properly.
If the information is in any way private DO NOT SETTLE for hiding list objects.

Hey Michael,
You have a conflict between 2 sets of meta robots tags in your header file.
Right now your site is set to noindex, nofollow. Meaning that the search engines will not follow your links to index your content.
I don't think this is on purpose but thought you should know.

@Michael: Yes, I meant in v.1 which you made available for public release. That whole tutorial was about v.1. So you might want to (a) alert people to now add that and (2) update your CSS file in the theme.
I knew why it wasn't included, but now you can. So just like alerting your users to the jQuery tip you should also (IMHO) alert them to that.

There really shouldn't be any question about what people prefer. As far as web developers should be concerned, XHTML2 is irrelevant. There will be no standards war, HTML5 is the only real choice. If there are features in XHTML2 that people like, then such features are most likely already covered by an equivalent feature in HTML5 or are considered impractical and/or useless.

I will probably use both, depending on what suits the content best. More than likely, I'll use HTML 5 for web-apps/blog-posts and XHTML 2 for traditional documents. (That is assuming the specs do not alter radically before they become official recommendations.)
However, I think that HTML 5 will be favoured by "real-world" websites, as it contains a lot more snazzy features than the more conservative XHTML 2.

I've been drooling over HTML 5 for awhile now and believe this will be the way I will be going for most web work. I just wish it was in place NOW. My greatest concern, however, is browser support. Standards seem to be taking just too long to get into place. Take CSS3 for example - there is already limited support in some browsers and I am already taking advantage of that. The longer it takes for the new standards to be finalised and for new formats to be put in place, the greater the risk that we will see hybrid development based around what browsers can support.

This was the approach we used when I worked with the Air Force. They didn't use SharePoint (instead a GOTS product), but they had people that came in the middle of the technology and the information consumer.

Chris, thanks for your comment! I'd love to hear more about how that role worked at the Air Force.
I should clarify, also, that I'm not talking about expanding the role of the higher-level knowledge manager or librarian that an organization may already have. The "coordinator" role I discuss, above, could be a full-time position on its own.

Yes, I know what you meant by having a full time coordinator. We had 4 that did that as well as help desk, but they were all retired military so they were more than help desk. They pointed users in the right direction to find the information they were looking for.

Hi Sadalit,
I've blogged about the event here, slides are also available.

Wordpress Plugin: Post Version Control (v1.0)
Posts can be grouped in many ways in Wordpress but there is no direct version control system. This plugin offers a lightweight solution if you want version control for a group of posts. To make this work you define a keyword for each version control group you want to create. Then use that keyword as a prefix in the post name of each post in that gr...

Chris, I had a look at the link you proposed but honestly I wouldn't consider that a good alternative.
It's not as lightweight and could have compatibility issues with future versions of Wordpress.
But apart from that, isn't that plugin meant to be an administrator's tool - saving versions of the same post externally but publishing only one?
Nice try though

:saving versions of the same post externally but publishing only one:
I thought that was the nature of version control. It sounds like your plugin compares to the old way of version control (rename files _old), but the other one is Subversion.
Maybe I misunderstand something.

I think the last paragraph is helpful enough to understand how to use this plugin.
Use it if you don't want to change the permalinks of your older posts (which is a big no-no) but still want your visitors to find the latest updates on the subject.

A new look for a new blog
We recently re-launched the Harvest blog to align its design with Harvest site's new look. Under the hood, we moved the entire blog over from Typo (a Ruby on Rails blog engine which has seen better days) to the brand new WordPress 2.5 engine. This means you can now comment on our posts to let us know what you think about the tidbits we bring you he... [Source: http://news.getharvest.com]

The Vossed World: In Galatians, "Paul is not saying that only 2/3 of the law has passed."

My apologies if I am recovering old ground. While I read your blog regularly, and have followed some of your exchanges in other fora as well, I believe this is our first interaction. If you will point me toward the archives where this has been covered in the past I will happily retreat there to read what has already been written.
"I gave the passages in the original post. (Leviticus 18:5; Luke 10:28; Romans 2:13; 10:5; Galatians 3:12; see also Genesis 42:18, the BT "precursor" passage)Christ and Paul both cite Lev. 18:5(and by redemptive-historical extension Gen. 42:18) with soteriological import and in doing so, interpret Leviticus as soteriological in import. Christ tells the young lawyer if he wants to have eternal life he must "do this and live".
Proof texts abstracted from their Redemptive Historical context can be interpreted many ways. None of these, read in context and apart from reading one's presuppositions back into them, actually support your argument.
"Again, the law never offered freedom from guilt, but it did offer life to the one who could obey it perfectly."
Redemption regardless of guilt? Or were the promises and sanctions strictly in regard to life and continued blessing in the land?
"The law given to Israel may have been contextualized by grace, but the law itself was not gracious... and that is where the heart of the covenant lies (not the context).The gracious sacrificial system was given against the backdrop of the ministry of death. The covenant was one of works... life was offered in return for perfect obedience. While this had salvific import for the individual, it was generally expressed as a nation... obedience in return for life in the land."
The law was given to a people who had been delivered out of bondage; a deliverance based on a promise given 430 years earlier. The sacrificial system served as proof that the law was not salvific, but given to point them to a perfect sacrifice who would be born free from original sin. Continued life and blessing within the promised land in exchange for perfect obedience. Which, in testimony to its scope, was forfeited.
"The covenant is not given within the context of Israel's *final* salvation, but Israel's salvation is contingent on lawkeeping obedience. At best, we can say it was the beginning of Israel's salvation. But given the contingencies of "do this and live", "keep my commandments or else", that salvation was not perfected and in fact was always in eschatological jeopardy."
You are right, the covenant was not "given within the context of Israel's *final* salvation," but was, as stated, temporal, earthly, and provisional. It was given as a "pedagogue" "because of transgressions" to reveal to mankind his sinfulness and point him to the Second Adam. The eschatological jeopardy came as a result of the fall, and the only hope was in looking to the One who would trample the serpents head.
I fear we are at an impasse, both remaining intransigent, and in danger of generating heat without light. Perhaps we should, as you say, agree to disagree.
Just A. :-)

Mr. A, thanks for the interaction.
I don't see any reconciliation between our views because we are both presupposing vast amounts of biblical theology that has been developed along certain lines of interpretation. So my answers are going to be briefer than they should be. :-)
>Proof texts abstracted from their >Redemptive Historical context can >be interpreted many ways.
I wholeheartedly agree.
>None of these, read in context >and apart from reading one's >presuppositions back into them, >actually support your argument.
I disagree on multiple levels.
We have Christ (Luke 10) and Paul (Romans 10) interpreting the Lev. 18 soteriologically and eschatologically. Given their interpretation is inspired and given their interpretation is always *within* the original author's and original text's context, Lev. 18 isn't to be interpreted merely as temporal reality (Israel's life in the land).
The soteriological and eschatological nature of "keep my commandments or else" and "do this and live" can be proven in the Pentateuch itself. If I had the time, would point you to the curses... to be cut off from the land, to be cut off from God's people had "salvific" implications. Eternal matters hung in the balance of the curses. And so too eternal matters hung in the balance of the blessings, both personal and corporate.
If I had the time, I would cut and paste from Schreiner's "Law and Its Fulfillment" here. :-)
>Redemption regardless of guilt?
No. Perfect obedience to the law is not redemption. It is merit. :-) The law holds out eternal life to those who would obey it (see Luke 10:28). Original sin is irrelevant to the giving of the law and its nature. God gave the law to show sin. In doing so, the law offer life in antithetical contrast.
In fact, if the law reveals sin, that in and of itself points to the soteriological and eschatological nature of the law. It's not merely about land. If the potential damnation of the law is eternal, so to is its potential blessing.
>Or were the promises and >sanctions strictly in regard to >life and continued blessing in >the land?
This I wholeheartedly deny. It wasn't merely about life and continued blessing in the land.
>The law was given to a people who >had been delivered out of bondage
True, but that deliverance was incomplete. The law placed Israel right back into eschatological jeopardy upon which their very life was at stake. Hence, even the exodus is pointing to the positive and negative demands of God's commandment. It wasn't enough for Israel to be delivered (forgiveness from the negative consequences). Israel also had to obey (positive righteousness required) in order to save her life in the land.
Only Christ did away with the soteriological and eschatological jeopardy. That kind of jeopardy, contra all the various justification errors out there right now, is *over*.
>The eschatological jeopardy came >as a result of the fall
I disagree. Eschatological jeopardy came as a result of God's command to not eat of the tree or die. Eschatological jeopardy came as a result of God's demanding perfect obedience to the law or die. In fact, the law's eschatological jeopardy reveals the severe realities of the first.
>I fear we are at an impasse
that's probably the case. :-)

Breuss Wane said...
I should add, via Kline :-), that while the original command to not eat of the tree speaks to the eschatological jeopardy, man was created in eschatological jeopardy. Obedience for life is inherent to his existence.

The Old Covenant was unkeepable. Period. Any notion to the contrary leads toward the very predicament I had this Sunday morning as I preached grace through the Lord Jesus. Some actually want to root for the Pharisee rather than the Publican - they don't want to believe they can't keep the rules - even as Christians. Without a proper understanding of the OC, a proper understanding of the NC is impossible - eventually works will overthrow grace.

Amen to that.
I would add one comment though, that for a human to obey would imply perfect and *eternal* righteousness - and that would require a God Man with the very Spirit of God joined to his humanity.
It was intended to be obeyed, but not by the mere nation of humans already separated from God.
Rather by Messiah - The God Man.
The real Israel, who would return to indwell His real progeny and complete in them ultimate Love for God and neighbor as it's eternal fulfillment.

Word yo. So when is CS going off of Prototype?

For the record, I love prototype! It's a great library that extends javascript to look and behave like Ruby. But for many it's overkill for what they're looking to achieve.
As far as CS goes, jquery is something we're looking at. More info as it becomes available! :)
