New I\O is an network application browser, daemon, and programming library.
The goal of the program is to make it easy for users to run appications across the Internet. I want the power of X Windows with the ease of use of a web browser.

This old marketing<br />phrase from Sun Microsystems will be fulfilled literally.<br /><br />Right now people still think of computers as individual entities, but<br />that is changing. We build supercomputers not with big iron, but with<br />collections of smaller computers. For example, the fastest computer in<br />the world as I write this, the IBM Roadrunner consists of a cluster of<br />3240 computers.<br /><br />Another example is grid computing where you can add or subtract<br />computers to depending on the needs of the users. From Grid computing<br />we get cloud computing where real-time scalable resources are provided<br />as a service over the Internet. These services are typically provided<br />from a collection of, you guessed it, PCs in a data center somewhere.<br /><br />The current situation is that there is not one cloud right now, but a<br />number of individual clouds each provided by a vendor. Now here is the<br />deal. When these clouds seamlessly inter-operate, then we will have<br />one global computer and one global operating system.<br /><br />For this reason, I think this might be very important going forward:<br /><br /><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/cloudforum">http://groups.google.com/group/cloudforum</a><br /><br />Unfortunately, it looks to me like they still want to base this on an<br />HTTP like protocol.<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.gogrid.com/wiki/index.php/API_Getting_Started_Guide">http://wiki.gogrid.com/wiki/index.php/API_Getting_Started_Guide</a><br /><br />I would love to see the internet as a massively distributed operating<br />system something like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs">Plan 9</a> but on a much larger scale, with public<br />APIs for storage servers, authentication servers, and I/O or<br />application servers. And, of course, the application I/O should be<br />something more suitable for the purpose like NewIO instead<br />of HTTP.<br /><p>Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03246714213323573778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-19091063298004233262008-03-05T08:25:00.000-08:002008-03-25T07:42:32.244-07:00NewIO Presentation for UTACM<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gv7MvZQ6oO0/R87K1XR2ZsI/AAAAAAAAAVk/dgWzN2GexWQ/s1600-h/tay.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Gv7MvZQ6oO0/R87K1XR2ZsI/AAAAAAAAAVk/dgWzN2GexWQ/s400/tay.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174296040026040002" /></a><br />I will be giving a presentation on <a href="http://www.newio.org">NewIO</a> for the <a href="http://www.utacm.org">University of Texas Association for Computing Machinery</a> on Tuesday, March 25th, 2008.

What I was trying to do with my NewIO project was to lead the desktop developers to the Internet, bypassing the web.<br /><br />However what appears to be happening is the opposite: The web developers are breaking out to the dekstop.<br /><br />The nightmare of the whole thing is that the instead of the nice desktop development environments being used to create Internet applications, we are ending up with the opposite: the horrible web<br />development environments being used to create desktop apps.<br /><br />I get depressed if I think too much about it.<br /><p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-42721154625791437482007-09-23T22:36:00.000-07:002007-11-01T06:53:39.828-07:00Rails DisasterThere was an article on Slashdot about a <a href="http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/23/1249235">rails disaster</a>.<br /><br />Sure part of the problem was poor project management. However, the main problem is that web apps are so unnecessarily complicated that it takes perfect project management to pull it off. It does not have to be this hard.<br /><br />I have never said that web apps are impossible. I, myself use g-mail for example. I just think web apps are way more complicated than they have to be. <a href="http://www.newio.org">NewIO</a> is the least complicated, shortest path to the Internet apps that we want.<p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-50988083194305467452007-07-31T09:20:00.001-07:002007-07-31T09:26:09.584-07:00Dreadnought SoftwareDreadnought Software licenses software and provides training and consulting on an open source Internet application platform that we created called NewI\O. This non-web based system overcomes the<br />limitations of the world wide web as an application platform by using a custom secure duplex messaging protocol that we intend to make an Internet standard. The NewI\O system consists of a universal client that we call the Dreadnought Application Browser, a small server process and a library/API.<br /><br />With this library/API the NewI\O system allows organizations to develop powerful and easy to use applications and still keep the data confined to servers in the data center where the data can be properly managed and secured. NewI\O provides all of the advantages of a thin client architecture, without the limitations of the web and without the lock-in of hardware and proprietary solutions. The cost and risk to transition to NewI\O is minimal.<br /><br />The primary market for Dreadnought Software is the software as a service industry. We intend to save the world from web based applications and profit from that transformation. We are looking for financial, legal and general business assistance to accomplish our mission from high character partners we can trust.<p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-38560875370088392812007-07-26T05:14:00.000-07:002007-07-26T05:17:04.263-07:00Recent Comment on NewIOI am told that a VC/Angel recently said that "what we've got is more lightweight and more efficient than IBM's competing software (they have a cross-platform flash based thing similar to NewIO but its not as lightweight or as powerful) and he said it makes [Microsoft] Silverlight look like dirt"<p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-92122231016181599362007-07-14T20:05:00.000-07:002007-07-14T20:11:08.252-07:00nIdeJason Reynold is using NewI\O for an Internet Web editor called nIde and getting some <a href="http://www.blogger.riscit.info/">business interest</a> from investors.<p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-38878633890115234162007-05-08T05:57:00.000-07:002007-05-08T06:01:44.676-07:00The Emerging Economic Paradigm of Open SourceFamily and friends, mostly those not involved in the tech industry, caution me about releasing my code via open source.

DemoCamp San Diego</b><br /><br />I am pleased to report that the DemoCamp in San Diego on Wednesday, March 28th was a big success. Everything went well. The audience was really interested and asked lots of good questions. I interacted with lots of friendly tech people, including a member of the Firefox team. What was really great was that my Dad and his wife and my sister Tracy and her two boys were there, so it was particularly gratifying to do well with family watching.<br /><br />On the downside there was no follow-up res ponces from the demo. It may be that we need to work harder to provide handouts and also to take names and contact information at these events. On the other hand at this point I am really looking for self motivated people to partner with to help develop this technology into a commercial product, so perhaps if they can not motivate themselves to contact me after the event, than perhaps they are not the right person for the job anyway.<br /><br />In any case my philosophy is to keep talking and work on building the momentum and over time we will attract the kind of talent we need to be successful. I do think that like compound interest that at some point we will reach a tipping point and that momentum will become self feeding.<br /><br /><b>2. Future Demos</b><br /><br />DemoCamp Portland (<a href="http://barcamp.org/DemoCampPortland1">http://barcamp.org/DemoCampPortland1</a>)<br /><br /><b>3. Developers</b><br /><br />I am pleased to report that our new developer Alan is working out very well. I have met with him several times to get him up to speed. We are taking the opportunity to perform code cleanups and to port the server side (in addition to the client side) over to MS Windows. In addition to his significant programming ability Alan also has an interest in entrepreneurialism and business, so I think he is going to be a tremendous asset to the success of NewIO.<br /><br />Our previous programmer Steve who did so much good work for the project has recently taken a full time programming position that pays benefits. I am happy for him and his wife, as they really need this, but I am sad to report that as much as he likes the project, he does not have the energy to both work his job and work on the project. I<br />offered him the opportunity to continue in a reduced role, but he declined. On the other hand he just contributed a fabulous new demo today, so who knows? Maybe he will not be able to resist us.<br /><br /><b>4. Competition</b><br /><br />Alan recently talked to a potential NewIO customer. The customer mentioned that they believed Microsoft was working diligently on a secret competitive technology, so we eagerly await any announcement to see if this is correct, and to evaluate the possible competition.<br /><br />There are a couple interesting aspects of this possibility. For one thing, Microsoft receives huge amounts of money for selling software for each computer. NewIO is a direct challenge to that business model. For Microsoft to risk stabbing its own cash cow would be a very gutsy move on their part. On the other hand they are not stupid. Perhaps they can see the writing on the wall?<br /><br />The other thing is that even if they come up with a direct competitor to NewIO they usually only support their own operating system. So the door still might be open for NewIO since our strategy is to support all computers in a vendor neutral way which might be a decisive advantage.<br /><br />However until we have specific information all of the above is mere speculation. However I am very aware that we probably have a limited window of opportunity to be successful.<br /><br /><b>5. Book</b><br /><br />After I submitted my in depth outline the editor of the series expressed excitement about the book, however I did not hear from the publisher's rep. I wrote and she replied that I would hear from a reviewer and also a contact proposal would be forthcoming within a week. Alas, this was 2 weeks ago, and I have not heard anything. I wrote back again to her Friday, so hopefully I will hear from her again within a day or two.<br /><br /><b>6. Code</b><br /><br />There are three main focuses in software development at the moment:<br /><br />1. Windows Server - We need this to help make the code clean and portable and also to allow Alan to be productive since his background is in Windows programming and all of the application programming is on the server. This should help make the project attractive to the huge mass of other Windows programmers out there.<br /><br />2. Widgets - Steve was working on using native widgets in the client code. This was proving to be complicated and difficult. Our focus will probably turn to creating our own widgets by drawing them and reacting to events on the server (server side widgets).<br /><br />3. Apple OSX client. We would like to cover all of the major consumer platforms. However currently we have no programming expertise for OSX. We have been careful to pick third party libraries that work with OSX to make this possible. We are keeping an eye out in particular for someone who maybe be a good fit to take care of this need. We may need to hire someone for this, or I may give it a shot myself when I have more time.<br /><br /><b>7. Finances</b><br /><br />We raised about $11, 800 for the project all from close relatives of mine. Almost all of it was used to pay Steve for 4 months worth of work. I think we got a good deal. This money (and then some out of my own pocket) is now gone. Several have expressed interest in investing more money, but at this time we have no direct need for it and I want to accept as little money as possible and bootstrap as much as possible.<br /><br />I am keeping a list in my head of who is interested in case the need arises in the future. Possible future uses would be business or marketing expenses, or perhaps to fund an OSX developer.<br /><br /><b>8. Business</b><br /><br />The next business step will be to incorporate at a Limited Liability Company (LLC). I have a lawyer in mind who will do this and other work for a flat fee of $1500. I am holding off at this time to resolve a personal matter with the IRS first to avoid complications. I expect to have this resolved within 3 months.<br /><br />As usual if anyone has an questions or comments feel free to contact me.<br /><p>Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03246714213323573778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12117245.post-83160747303247121032007-03-09T14:56:00.000-08:002007-03-09T14:58:16.522-08:00BarCamp AustinI signed up to speak at <a href="http://barcamp.org/BarCampAustin">BarCamp Austin</a> tomorrow.
