Nielsen Norman Group to work with Macromedia to improve web usability
Hmm, this is interesting, considering that Chris Wenham wrote about Jakob Nielsen last week.

Sun’s Newest Strategy Leaves Linux Community in the Dark
A really interesting piece forwarded via email from my friend Mikhail Evstiounin this morning. Mikhail and I were discussing the role of linux in the enterprise since I had been digging around trying to find a linux distro to put on our sparc hardware. This is a very interesting look inside the sociopolitical environment surrounding Linux and it's threat to Sun.[sw-soft.com]

Dog days of summer
When I came out of work and got into the car yesterday afternoon, the temperature gauge on the dash read 100 degrees fahrenheit. Now, I don't live in Phoenix, Arizona and somehow, it doesn't seem like working in that temperature is rational. Sipping lemonade perhaps, but working? Just say no.

Cocoon, JBoss 3, Ugo Cei, Geoffrey Moore, install & config
Ugo Cei says: David, in case you care, CocoBlog is now hosted on SourceForge and the latest source is available via CVS. The module name is CocoBlog.[Be Blogging]
Thanks, Ugo. Yes, I do care. Unfortunately, right now,the biggest problem I've got is trying to get Cocoon 2 to run on JBoss 3 with JDK 1.4. On the positive side, it deploys cleanly. However, when I try to load the default context path /cocoon/ it throws a class not found exception on one of the SAX classes. I don't have the machine here, or I'd be more specific. I dug around in the various places looking for results and while there are a few notes from people trying to run this configuration, none are definitive.
Hopefully, now that Cocoon is post 2.0, install and config will become more of a priority. This remains a real impediment to progress for a lot of open source tools. That is, penetrating markets beyond an elite hacker club is virtually impossible without having broad interop and ease of install/config as design goals. It's a phenomenon that I believe was described best by Geoffrey Moore.
