狭い世界だねえ

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

お付き合いのある営業の方と食事をしたときに、私はお酒を飲まないという話をしたら、

「僕の友達は大浦さんと飲んだことがあるっていっていましたよ」

といわれてびっくりした。他社の営業の人のことだったのだが、狭い世界だね。

Who's SOA

SOA (Service Oriented Infrastructure) is a convinient word. But it has various meanings from people to people. So when you use SOA, you must clarify its meanings or definition.

Yes, I had very bad meeting today. With this problem.

Posibirities of RSS

| No Comments

Amazon sent me this book after my order. From this book, I could realize the history of RSS.

Apple, Netscape, Userland, ... Many companies and people developed this framework for describing information.
This also causes the different version of RSS or Atom.

Under this recognition, I hope this freedom of development will last long.

The final manuscript of firefox book was out

| No Comments

Finally, the final manuscript of my new book was printed out today. I must check the expression and answer it on Saturday.

This was a long way since this March. Yes, it was tough period for me. But I love firefox. I believe open source. And I have a fever to tell people this.
Without them, I can not come this day.

Where is firefox about:config reference?

| No Comments

To add useful reference to firefox book, I was seeking web sites. But unfortunately, I could not find it.

Instead of it, mozilla reference was found. Most of the description could be fit to firefox, but not all. And the worse, I found this reference was not under maintenance.

One of the most serious problems for open source project is documentation.

Block popups made by flash

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Firefox's popup block function does not care about popups made by plugins.
So flash can make popup window.

But to add these descriptions to your user.js, you can block this kind of popups.

user_pref("privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins", 2);

Install eXist to confirm xquery

| No Comments

When I wake up, I thought that I need to confirm the power of xquery and xupdate.

Saxon implements xquery but does not implement xupdate.
eXist implements both of them. So I tried to use eXist today.

But in Mac OS X, WebDAV is now working well. I can not write any data on WebDAV folders.

Though many problems, I can find xquery is very powerful.

Buy many books for making plans for new book

| No Comments

Amazon.com is kind enough to find books.
I've ordered four books to them.

Can you guess what I am interested in now?

The second manuscript for firefox book

| No Comments

My editor passed me the second manuscript for comming book.
In this manuscript, I made many mistakes. But he corrected them all.

I must thank him.

Write reference of user.js

| No Comments

user.js is the file to customize firefox. Mozilla.org prepare (almost) complete references for this file.

I decide to add this reference to my new book. Because it is useful for reader.

But I need the reference of extension or firefox's javascript more. They are not exist in public.

Of course development itself is very important. But the documents are important, too.

Get the first manuscript of new book

| No Comments

In the evening, I visited publisher to get manuscript of my new firefox book.

It is almost perfect for me. Book designer did great job. I want to buy it when I find this book in a bookstore.

This weekend, I must check the contents of it.

以前苦労したのだが、今回はとても簡単だということが分かった。
そのやり方は、xoopsの方を参照。

Finally, iTunes Music Store Japan launched

| No Comments

I am waiting this day for two years.
First, I should thank Apple Japan. They launched this service almost the same as US.
This is not easy thing.

Japanese elder people prevent reformation. These years, Japanese music industry let their customer inconvenient situation. High price, low usability. When iTunes are popular Japanese consumers, they made copy control CD, to prevent their customers' rights.

This will change our situation.

Mozilla Corporation

| No Comments

Mozilla org will launch Mozilla Corporation. I'm not sure what bring this to me and all mozilla products users.
I believe mozilla products should be used widely. This corporation will support enterprise users, I want to welcome them.

Visit publishing company

But I could not get manuscripts today. I was regrettable. Because I would like to watch StarWars movie today.

My book will target firefox 1.0.6

| No Comments

After announcement of stop developing firefox 1.1, we discuss which version should we target?
Version 1.5 will delay. So we decide our book will target version 1.0.

Deer Park alpha was really bad quality. Especially developing extensions.

Good bye deer park, hello firefox 1.0.6.

MAMP

| No Comments

Name is important. I wrote yesterday. MAMP is another example of this statement.

LAMP is more famous. Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. And MAMP is Mac OS X, Apache, MySQL, PHP.

To tell the truth, I had wrote this word in my book for three years ago. But no one knows this.

DHTML, XMLHttpRequest, AJAX?

| No Comments

I know about DHTML. I know XML. I know javascript. I know XMLHttpRequest.

But, someone named them as "AJAX". This turns out everything. Now many developers are interested them as some new technology.

Yes, name is very important.
