What this means is that if you update your bookmar ks stored in del.ico.us\, changes might be reflected only 24 hours later. Similar problems plague Simpy and FeedDigest\, which makes service cascadi ng less reliable than it could be. Nevertheless\, both services are curren tly being improved and I would expect these problems to be resolved no lat er than in the second half of 2006.\n Status: Waiting for a Fix\n Creation Date: January 27\, 2006 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20060127 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20060127 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20081120T085046---2d1bdf8c-3c24-4b94-9410-534b71b08643@hood.smallthough t.com CREATED:20081120T085046Z SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Service cascading slows everything down PRIORITY:5 DESCRIPTION:Tag: slow\n Description: The more services are involved to perf orm a certain task\, the slower you'\;re likely to get your task done. This problem can be easily demonstrated when cascading a social bookmarkin g tool such as Simpy with a feed processing service like FeedDigest. Cachi ng would help accelerate things up but leads to outdated information being served in some instances.

My current Office 2.0 setup includes 14 different services\, 10 require a login and password\, and 8 separate logi ns and passwords are used. Clearly\, we need a better version of Microsoft Passport. Nevertheless\, using multiple services with different logins an d passwords also limits the risk of identity theft\, which certainly incre ases the more activities get performed online. Therefore\, this problem is a complex one and I am not convinced that it could be solved without sign ificant infrastructure changes\, such as the mainstream adoption of biomet ric identification devices. In the meantime\, multiple sign-on is not such a bad idea.\n Status: Partially Fixed\n Creation Date: January 27\, 2006\ n Fix Date: March 19\, 2006\n Fix Post: http://itredux.com/blog/2006/03/19 /office-20-single-sign-on/ DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20060127 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20060127 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20081120T085046---b7c1a03d-0b39-44ac-befa-0b942bded100@hood.smallthough t.com CREATED:20081120T085046Z SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Office 2.0 does not support custom branding PRIORITY:5 DESCRIPTION:Tag: branding\n Description: Granted\, most services will let y ou put your logo somewhere on the screen\, and change fonts and colors her e and there\, but beyond that\, service branding remains a luxury that mos t of us cannot afford. Services should be offered through an organization& #39\;s own domain name\, instead of a generic one.

Today\, the Gmail user interface could not be more differe nt than the one sported by Salesforce.com\, and this creates cognitive fri ction that significantly reduces one'\;s productivity. One of the most important features offered by desktop operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS is the consistency of user interfaces provided by applic ations that run on top of them. Such consistency is nowhere to be found on the web today\, first because no user interface framework managed to esta blish itself as a standard\, second because design guidelines are not defi ned\, nor widely adopted. Frameworks such as OpenAJAX are an attempt at ad dressing this issue\, but I doubt that they will have significant traction before some time\, mainly because so much is at stake: he who owns the AJ AX framework ends up owning Office 2.0\, much like Microsoft owning Micros oft Windows and the community of 8 million Visual Basic developers signifi cantly contributed to make Microsoft Office the standard office productivi ty tool.

That'\;s 30 cents a gigabyte. With that in min d\, the 2.866 GB quota I have with Gmail today seems kinda ridiculous. Tha t'\;s less than 86 cents! There are ways to work around it\, but I woul d rather not have to worry about it and pay whatever subscription that wou ld give me a terabyte of secure storage online. Rumors have been circulati ng that Apple might soon offer terabyte .Mac accounts\, and Google is the kind of company that thrives on bold challenges like that\, so I remain co nfident that this bug might be fixed before the end of the year.\n Status: Waiting for a Fix\n Creation Date: January 4\, 2006\n Creation Post: http ://itredux.com/blog/2006/01/04/working-around-gmails-quota/ DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20060104 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20060104 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20081120T085046---67c34bd5-b474-4eb3-85e3-df5782384094@hood.smallthough t.com CREATED:20081120T085046Z SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:DreamTeam needs a browser plugin PRIORITY:5 DESCRIPTION:Tag: plugin\n Description: I like DreamTeam because it gives me Gantt charts in Salesforce.com\, but I would rather have an AJAX interfac e instead of the funky DreamFactory plugin technology. A couple of years a go\, I built a project management spreadsheet with Microsoft Excel that sp orted a Gantt chart interface. It made extensive use of macros\, so I will try to run it into Zoho Websheet as soon as AdventNet comes up with a ver sion that supports them.\n Status: Waiting for a Fix\n Creation Date: Janu ary 27\, 2006 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20060127 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20060127 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20081120T085046---4b08905f-9c50-45db-89ea-452efb50f588@hood.smallthough t.com CREATED:20081120T085046Z SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Flickr does not support the RAW file format PRIORITY:5 DESCRIPTION:Tag: raw\n Description: Flickr certainly is the best tool to ma nage pictures online\, but it does not support the upload of native RAW im ages yet\, which makes the overall workflow slightly more complex than it should be. I would expect this limitation to be adressed soon\, but if it does not\, someone should come up with an online picture processing servic e that would provide a RAW image upload interface into Flickr or its close st match today\, 23.\n Status: Waiting for a Fix\n Creation Date: December 27\, 2005\n Creation Post: http://itredux.com/blog/2005/12/27/online-alte rnative-to-explorer/ DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20051227 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20051227 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
