Ajax, AjaxPatterns
As foretweeted last week , I created a little Ajax app called BlingText .
As you can see, it takes a message and provides some ASCII renderings. In particular, it includes a port of the old UNIX/C Banner utility .
If I do more work on it, the main improvements will be:
Options. Let the user specify, for each transformation, parameters such as the fill character ("*") and amount of spacing.
Better OO (internal change). Each of the transformations is at present a terse strategy object, which is good. However, there’s no inheritance going on, so it could be better.

I recently learned about a team which had adopted a proprietary Windows application to do agile (Agile [TM]) project management. Eeek! Wrong at so many levels, but I’m going to focus on the web vs desktop angle.
In an ideal world, there would be multiple UI platforms available for any application. e.g. do your project management on Windows, Macs, the web, and the phone. In practice, there’s usually just one.

Confirming that enterprise reuse can be a bit of a joke at times, Jason Gorman shares this fable on enterprise reuse (via another inspired Jason ). Short summary: Two ladies could save 8 cents by boiling tea in the same kettle. But the cunning analyst forgets that, since they live 20 miles from each other, there will be overheads to the tune of a $20 cab ride and the travelling time.

“The novel’s success brought the term “pollyanna” (along with the adjective “pollyannaish” and the noun “Pollyannaism”) into the language to describe someone who is cheerfully optimistic and who always maintains a generous attitude toward the motives of other people. It also became, by extension – and contrary to the spirit of the book – a derogatory term for a naïve optimist who always expects people to act de... more  OAuth-OpenID: You’re Barking Up the Wrong Tree if you Think They’re the Same ThingFrom: softwareas.com Post Date: 2007-11-10 12:56:11 Identity , OAuth , OpenID , Security , Web , Web 2.0
OAuth is not Open ID . They have a different purpose. I’ve been playing around with OAuth a bit in the past couple weeks and have a grip on what it’s aiming to do and what it’s not aiming to do.
To start with, here’s what OAuth does have in common with Open ID:
