100% Uptime?
February 13th, 2007
It’s been over 10 years since Al Gore invented the Internet and named it Information Super Highway RC1, which later became Web 1.0. Now, in the world of Web 2.0, we still lack 100% uptime of all services. As I sit at the library typing this, because the power is again out at my house, I am forced to realize that electricity, like DNS, is a 100% uptime service.
Of course the main thing I host at home is my subversion repository and a user at ListDC just informed me of a bug, which I was trying to fix this morning when the lights went out. My laptop is five revisions behind HEAD but the only things I’ve been working on since I updated the laptop is experimental stuff for Web 3.0 so I think I’ll be fine when it’s time to commit the fixes.
I’ll plan to move my repository to a remote box in the future. They have better uptime and the upload speed is better. I wouldn’t doubt it if this is the norm in the future. Folks will host ALL of their info remotely on a stable OS and put the fancy new stuff (like Compiz/Beryl) on their home PC and laptops.

This comment is actually in response to another post you wrote ( this one http://samdanielson.com/2007/1/3/counting-keywords-from-reddit-and-digg) since comments are inexplicably closed there. This is exactly the kind of stuff that fascinates me, as the focus of my research directly ties into what it is that people on social networks like. I was wondering if you did any more semantic analysis of social news sites like Digg and reddit. It’s a fascinating topic that definitely deserves more in-depth research.

This was just sort of a curiosity for me. It was really just a first look. There has been quite a bit of a fuss lately concerning net/search neutrality and I feel we can’t rely on regulation, or the lack of it, to maintain a neutral environment for the free exchange of ideas. I hope each citizen will have the ability to run their own search engine from their desktop. No matter how narrowly focused these searches must be to stay within bandwidth and storage constraints, it is the only way to protect ourselves against a negligent or interest-controlled media. Utube, digg, reddit, and google do nothing to empower the public because individuals have no control over the rating and search algorithms. The public power resides in the ability to simply not use an unfair search engine and find another. I am almost certain that we will ignorantly, under the direction of interested parties (AT&T), construct barriers to entry that will prevent search alternatives from materializing. We must develop software that will actually empower the user instead of providing the false power the current media uses as a marketing slogan. This preliminary experiment was a result of that wish. In general free software empowers while free service enslaves.
