Lunch 2.0

“I am not the cheerleader” in Hero. I am not “special”. But, I do think the web can save the world.

“Save The Web Save The World”

I am just a “geek” like Chuck. I like to spill out beans on technology that I am passionate about especially with free lunch offers. I find the NBC production crews do follow me here. Lately I receive email requests from advertisers who express interests to advertise on my blog posts here. Those highly paid SEM hackers are spamming my posts with casino and insurance links. The music industry insiders think I am a celebrity from the geek world, not because I am related to Britney Spears.

Like the cheerleader in Hero, I have been hiding out to avoid brutal attacks online. Thanks to Tim O’Reilly and Robert Scoble to step out to support the minority gender group. I feel a little bit safer to start a blog. I am letting the kitty out of the bag. I am officially releasing our official blog here. This is where we will gather the world experts, rock-star developers and smart geeks to explain and discuss very cutting edge and cool information, that is beyond our monthly meetings.

Stock market sank when I announced our “Browser Wars Episode II: Attack of the DOM”. Stock market sank when Google announced the release of browser Google Chrome. It is the lack of confidence that is eroding our American Dreams. Our next special meeting is on a very dark Halloween week, Oct 29 Wed. My plan is not to give chances for the traders to short our stock market.

Our Halloween special event “The Chronicles of Web Standard: the HTML5, the Comet, and the WebSocket” is not directly related to browsers. Our event theme title is based on my favorite novels, The Chronicles of Narnia, where time travel is possible and the good fight against the evil.

Comet, nicknamed “Reverse Ajax”, allow low-latency (less delay). Ajax Push, Full Duplex Ajax, and Streaming Ajax are the design patterns for Comet. WebSocket standard (TCP/IP Connection) is part of the HTML 5 that is going to be ready to implement for browsers while the entire HTML 5 release is in 2022.

WebSocket standard is designed to increase the efficiency of networking for browser applications and to remove the limitations of the HTTP request-response communication model. Use it wisely to replace Ajax-based infrastructure will lower your scalability cost significantly. Too much Ajax can be expensive on bandwidth cost.

While our government officials are busy fixing Wall Street, we will be planning our discussion on the existing and next Web Standard. Can our next Web Standard get more support from AJAX library and platforms? Can our next Web Standard scheduled to be implemented by Browsers? Can the ECMA Technical Committee put aside the voices and sing in harmony on the next JavaScript standard? Can W3C hurry up in drafting standard?

While the social security, banking, real estate, and financial markets are in serious troubles with no easy quick fixes, web has the best chance to change the world.
