POPULARITY
...in which we tell the 1,000-year story of cartography in the historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire with author, academic and cartophile Bill Shannon. When does the name 'Cumbria' first appear on a map? Who were the men – entrepreneurs, oddballs, fraudsters and visionaries – who developed the skills of surveying and map-making over generations, often for scant financial rewards? How did the remarkable Christopher Saxton undertake the first county surveys – to make the definitive maps of England that were still being used two centuries later? When were the first scientific surveys carried out, and what role did the Ordnance Survey play in popularing maps for the 'everyman'? In this amiable chat covering ten centuries of map-making, we talk triangulation and tourism; contours and cartouches; and nymphs, monks and memories of map-reading on a misty Blencathra.

The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association is proud to present a very special "Bob Barry's Unearthed Interviews - podcast #200". #200!!! The WBA wondered how this came about. Bob says "It was suggested we do something special for the 200th podcast, so we are flashing “way back” to 1972, to me and my morning show on WOKY. As far as we know, this is the first time anyone has heard my morning radio show in 51 years. Can you believe it? That goes for my newsman David Haines and his colorful high-energy delivery too." Bob's morning show on WOKY was usually #1 in the ratings. This meant Bob could spend company money on long distance phone calls. And he did. In 1972, long distance calls cost dollars per minute. The Milwaukee Journal reported monthly phone bills at WOKY were over $1000. Adjusted for inflation, that's $7300 a month! Bob spent WOKY's money wisely, making his show so popular he was voted #1 DJ in the USA in 1975 by Billboard magazine, beating out DJ's from New York and LA. Bob says "That was quite an honor and thank you to everyone who listened to me back in the day." Several people helped put this "200th special" together. Thank you's to WOKY alum Jack Lee who brought back Milwaukee's very own “Lady of Charm”, to radio vet and voice talent Bill Shannon for playing the role of "Mr. Announcer", and to marketing guru Kipper McGee for handling promotion. Continuing thanks to Kyle Geissler, Vice President of the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association for coordinating and getting these podcasts to you on Youtube, Spotify, Apple, etc. And special thanks to Mark David (MD) Heleniak of MixMasterMD.com for restoring the 1972 WOKY aircheck, and for producing, writing, and engineering the 200th special podcast. If you enjoy this special, let us know. email: bbarryunearthed@gmail.com We'll do more in the future. And thanks for listening!

Bill Shannon ricevette il battesimo di un'immensa responsabilità.Non si tirò indietro, sarebbe stato lui insieme al suo team ricevere il carico di siero antitossina per condurlo nei primi 84 chilometri della grande corsa.Siero che nel frattempo era appena arrivato da Anchorage a Nenana, seguendo una linea ferroviaria che strisciava come una biscia nella taiga intrappolata dal ghiaccio, lasciandosi alle spalle le montagne strapazzate dalle bufere di neve, mentre il fischio della locomotiva annunciava l'arrivo del treno lanciato ad alta velocità.Nel frattempo a Nome era stato pianificato l'intervento di un'altra squadra.Sarebbe scesa in campo un'altra muta capitanata da un certo Leonard Seppala.Un norvegese particolarmente legato al suo cane leader: un siberian husky di nome Togo. Entrambi campioni di corse in condizioni estreme, svilupparono negli anni un'intesa che li portò ai vertici delle competizioni.E nel 1925 la grande corsa al siero divenne un appuntamento col destino, da non fallire.Contatto mail: andataeritorno.podcast@gmail.comMusic by Epidemic SoundNewsletter: https://andataeritornopodcast.substack.com/

An airhacks.fm conversation with Romain Grecourt (@rgrecourt) about: introduction of clean Java EE 6 API guidelines by Bill Shannon, the guidelines were implemented by Romain, the Maven Versioning Rules by Bill Shannon, predictable groupids, artifactids and package names in Java EE 6, helidon comes with a flat classloader, in helidon there is no distinction between helidon's and third party libraries, Java EE 7 fixed the uncompilable API issue, API jar is the implementation of the API, Java EE APIs from different vendors may vary, javax API was not meant to be universal, Bill Shannon was one of Solaris architects, the "Oracle Native Developer", GlassFish v2 and v3 was "bleeding edge", early GlassFIsh versions were built with Apache Ant, WebLogic multi-tenancy and vertical scaling, WebLogic build system modernization, migration from Jira and Mercurial to GitHub, migration from svn to git, GlassFish started with cvs then transition to svn, KDE's svn to git, during the transition from Java EE GlassFish to Jakarta EE GlassFish some history got lost, the "Java For Cloud" project, "Java For Cloud" is the ancestor of Helidon, weblogic 8 was very fast, GlassFish v3 was internally modularized, Helidon was inspired by Java 8 functional programming capabilities and expressjs, Java For Cloud was "Functional First and Reactive First", Java For Cloud became the Helidon Web Server, Helidon SE would compete with Vert.x, Reactive Programming is Helidon's implementation detail, Helidon supports Java Loom, Helidon SE is faster, than Helidon MicroProfile, CQRS might help with database scalability, Helidon CLI is written in Java and translated with GraalVM to a native executable, vuejs CLI developer experience inspired Helidon CLI, GraalVM: goodness of Go and greatness of Java, Helidon CLI will support pluggable extensions, Helidon comes with home-made templating framework, wad.sh - the "Watch and Deploy" tool, jib - demon-less docker image builds, incremental Docker re-builds, Helidon and direct support for Kubernetes, the minimilastic, beatiful YAML, xdoclet and Attribute Oriented Programming, maven has no knowledge about plugins, maven vs. gradle, the Thirsty Bear GlassFish party, Romain Grecourt on twitter: @rgrecourt, helidon's slack channel
Today on Your Beautiful Day on The Gratitude Radio Network, Jenn MOG and Neil Haley will interview Bill Shannon of Crutch. CRUTCH, co-director/producers Sachi Cunningham and Chandler Evans' sprawling, exhaustive chronicle of performance/visual artist and action sports athlete Bill Shannon's life and work across myriad artistic and athletic disciplines, will have its world premiere in November at DOC NYC, the United States' premier documentary film festival. Far more than a chronological survey of one person's life and achievements, CRUTCH does so much more: the film shatters conventional notions of disability; it challenges the viewers to abandon conventional ideas of what “ability” means, and crosses over from artistry—in skate and dance and performance art—to education on issues of key cultural and political relevance. For the subject of a film decades in the making, Shannon's life is remarkably well-documented. Early in his childhood in Nashville, TN, he was diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a degenerative condition of the hip that affects one in 20,000 children aged 3-12 years; it severely degrades the smooth ball of the hip inside the pelvic joint (which Shannon describes in his own animations in the film). Breaking free of his disability but never losing sight of it, Shannon began to create skate tricks and dance moves, first as recreation and transportation but ultimately as his own unique art forms. He rose to the pantheon of artistic physical movement, Cirque du Soleil, who commissioned him to choreograph two works in their production Varekai back in 2003. “Bill Shannon defies gravity as he floats just above the ground, sweeping forward in long, smooth strides on titanium crutches. He spins, twirls, then freezes, looking like an oddly beautiful sculpture of flesh and metal. His gliding mobility seems almost magical,” wrote Sally Sommer in the New York Times. “Bill comes from a different world, does not move like I see before -- not sport, not acrobatic, not nothing I see before,'' said fellow Cirque performer Vladimir Ignatenkov. He's since developed collaborative and one-man shows year-on-year, and still makes time to teach and perform at a Legg-Calvé-Perthes camp in Florida.
CRUTCH takes the audience on a journey that literally spans the entire globe. The documentary features the abandoned Pittsburgh steel mills of Bill’s childhood; his diagnosis with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a rare, degenerative condition of the hip; the underground NYC break dance battles of his twenties; his groundbreaking performances in Sydney, Quebec, Madrid, Helsinki, Moscow, London, Paris, Tokyo, and more. CRUTCH is a global story, a powerful story, a transformational story, and one which will have you re-evaluating your own perspectives. From childhood "cripple" to international provocateur, CRUTCH is an engrossing, emotional story of an artist’s struggle to be understood and an auspicious DOC NYC debut. Two decades in the making and employing a kinetic tapestry of 8mm film from the 70’s, Hi-8 and VHS tapes from the 80’s, mini-DV tapes from the 90’s, and stunning HD footage from the 2000’s, CRUTCH documents Bill’s extraordinary life’s story: the history of Bill’s medical odyssey, his struggles with chronic pain, the evolution of his crutch dancing and skating, his rise to become a world-renowned performance artist, and his transformation from an angry skate punk to an international hero. Co-directors Sachi Cunningham and Vayabobo (Chandler Evans) join us to talk about Bill Shannon’s fierce determination to breakthrough cultural perceptions of what it is to be a dancer, skateboarder and performance artist.

VMS and OpenVMS Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us to innovate (and sometimes cope with) the future! Today we're going to talk through the history of VMS. Digital Equipment Corporation gave us many things. Once upon a time, I used a DEC Alpha running OpenVMS. The PDP-11 had changed the world, introducing us to a number of modern concepts in computers such as time sharing. The PDP was a minicomputer, smaller and more modern than mainframes. But by 1977 it was time for the next generation and the VAX ushered in the 32-bit era of computers and through the evolutions evolve into the VaXServer, helping to usher in the modern era of client-server architectures. It supported Branch delay slots and suppressed instructions. The VAX adopted virtual memory, privilege modes, and needed an operating system capable of harnessing all the new innovations packed into the VAX-11 and on. That OS would be Virtual Memory System, or VMS. The PDP had an operating system called RSX-11, which had been released in 1972. The architect was Dan Brevik, who had originally called it DEX as a homonym with DEC. But that was trademarked so he and Bob Decker over in marketing wrote down a bunch of acronyms and then found one that wasn't trademarked. Then they had to reverse engineer a meaning out of the acronym to be Real-Time System Executive, or RSX. But for the VAX they needed more and so Dave Cutler from the RSX team, then in his early 30s, did much of the design work. Dick Hustvedt and Peter Lipman would join him and they would roll up to Roger Gourd, who worked with DECs VP of engineering Gordon Bell to build the environment. The project began as Starlet, named because it was meant to support the Startlet family of processors. A name that still lives on in various files in the operating system. The VMS Operating System would support RISC instructions, support 32-bit virtual address extension, would work with DECnet, would have virtual memory of course, as the name implies. VMS would bring a number of innovations in the world of clustering. VMS would use a modified Julian Day system to keep track of system time, which subtracts the Julian Date from 2,400,000.5. Why? Because it begins on November 17th, 1858. THat's not why, that the day it starts. Why? Because it's not Y10,000 compliant only having 4 slots for dates. Wait, that's not a thing. Anyway, how did VMS come to be? One of the killer apps for the system though, was that DECnet was built on DIGITAL Network Architecture, or DNA. It first showed up in RSX, where you could like two PDPs but you could have 32 nodes by the time VaX showed up and 255 with VMS 2. Suddenly there was a simple way to network these machines, built into the OS. Version 1 was released in 1977 in support of the VAX-11/780. Version 2 would come along in 1980 for the 750 and Version 3 would come in 1982 for the 730. The VAX 8600 would ship in 84 with version 4. And here's where it gets interesting. The advent of what were originally called microcomputers but are now called personal computers had come in the late 70s and early 80s. By 1984, MicroVMS was released as a port for running on the MicroVAX, Digitals attempt to go down-market. Much as IBM had missed minicomputers initially, Digital had missed the advent of microcomputers though and the platform never took off. Bill Gates would adorn the cover of Time that year. Of course, by 84, Apple had AppleTalk and DOS was ready to plug in as well. Bill Joy moved BSD away from VAX in 1986, after having been with the PDP and then VAX for years, before leaving for Sun. At this point the platform was getting a bit long in the tooth. Intel and Microsoft were just starting to emerge as dominant players in computing and DEC was the number two software company in the world, with a dominant sales team and world class research scientists. They released ULTRIX the same year though, as well as the DECStation with a desktop environment called UW for ULTRIX Workstation. Ultrix was based on BSD 4 and given that most Unixes had been written on PDPs, Bill Joy knew many of the group launched by Bill Munson, Jerry Brenner, Fred Canter and Bill Shannon. Cutler from that OpenVMS team hates Unix. Rather than have a unified approach, the strategy was fragmented. You see a number of times in the history of computing where a company begins to fail not because team members are releasing things that don't fit within the strategy but because they release things that compete directly with a core product without informing their customers why. Thus bogging down the sales process and subsequent adoption in confusion. This led to brain drain. Cutler ended up going to the Windows NT team and bringing all of his knowledge about security and his sincere midwestern charm to Microsoft, managing the initial development after relations with IBM in the OS/2 world soured. He helped make NT available for the Alpha but also helping make NT dominate the operating system from his old home. Cutler would end up working on XP, Server operating systems, Azure and getting the Xbox to run as a host for Hyper-V . He's just that rad and his experience goes back to the mid 60s, working on IBM 7044 mainframes. Generational changes in software development, like the move to object oriented programming or micro services, can force a lot of people into new career trajectories. But he was never one of those. That's the kind of talent you just really, really, really hate to watch leave an organization - someone that even Microsoft name drops in developer conference session to get ooohs and aaahs. And there were a lot of them leaving as DEC shifted into more of a sales and marketing company and less into a product and research company as it had founded to be back when Ken Olsen was at MIT. We saw the same thing happen in other areas of DEC - competing chips coming out of different groups. But still they continued on. And the lack of centralizing resources and innovating quickly and new technical debt being created caused the release of 5 to slip from a 2 year horizon to a 4 year horizon, shipping in 1988 with Easynet, so you could connect 2,000 computers together. Version 6 took 5 years to get out the door in 1993. In a sign of the times, 1991 saw VMS become OpenVMS and would make OpenVMS POSIX compliant. 1992 saw the release of the DEC Alpha and OpenVMS would quickly get support for the RISC processor which OpenVMS would support through the transition of Alpha to Itanium when Intel bought the rights for the Alpha architecture. Version 7 of OpenVMS shipped in 1996 but by then the company was in a serious period of decline and corporate infighting and politics killed them. 1998 came along and they practically bankrupted Compaq by being acquired and then HP swooped in and got both for a steal. Enterprise computing has never been the same. HP made some smart decisions though. They inked a deal with Intel and Alpha would become the HP Itanium and made by Intel. Intel then had a RISC processor and all the IP that goes along with that. Version 8 would not be released until 2003. 7 years without an OS update while the companies were merged and remerged had been too long. Market share had all but disappeared. DECnet would go on to live in the Linux kernel until 2010. Use of the protocol was replaced by TCP/IP much the same way most of the other protocols got replaced. OpenVMS development has now been licensed to VSI and is now run by vmssoftware, which supports many former DEC and HP employees. There are a lot of great, innovative, unique features of OpenVMS. There's a common language environment, that allows for calling functions easily and independently of various languages. You can basically mix Fortran, C, BASIC, and other languages. It's kinda' like my grandmas okra. She said I'd like it but I didn't. VMS is built much the same way. They built it one piece at a time. To quote Johnny Cash: “The transmission was a fifty three, And the motor turned out to be a seventy three, And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.” You can of course install PHP, Ruby, Java, and other more modern languages if you want. And the System Services, Run Time Libraries, and language support make it easy to use whatever works for a task across them pretty equally and provides a number of helpful debugging tools along the way. And beyond debugging, OpenVMS pretty much supports anything you find required by the National Computer Security Center and the DoD. And after giving the middle finger to Intel for decades… As with most operating systems, VMS is finally being ported to the x86 architecture signaling the end of one of the few holdouts to the dominance of the x86 architecture in some ways. The Itatiums have shipped less and less chips every year, so maybe we're finally at that point. Once OpenVMS has been ported to x86 we may see the final end to the chip line as the last windows versions to support them stopped actually being supported by Microsoft about a month before this recording. The end of an era. I hope Dave Cutler looks back on his time on the VMS project fondly. Sometimes a few decades of crushing an old employer can help heal some old wounds. His contributions to computing are immense, as are those of Digital. And we owe them all a huge thanks for the techniques and lessons learned in the development of VMS in the early days, as with the early days of BSD, the Mac, Windows 1, and others. It all helped build a massive body of knowledge that we continue to iterate off of to this day. I also owe them a thank you for the time I got to spend on my first DEC Alpha. I didn't get to touch another 64 bit machine for over a decade. And I owe them a thanks for everything I learned using OpenVMS on that machine! And to you, wonderful listers. Thank you for listening. And especially Derek, for reaching out to tell me I should move OpenVMS up in the queue. I guess it goes without saying… I did! Hope you all have a great day!

"Mental illness? Questioning common assumptions." Bill Shannon of The Master's Seminary today on the podcast.
Bill Shannon - Vice President of Post and Carrier Solutions at Pitney Bowes. Bill is on the front lines of a long forgotten staple of communication, the mail. That's right - not email, or vmail, but actual, physical mail. Bill has been an integral part of the juggernaut that is Pitney Bowes for over 30 years. Pitney Bowes is a fortune 500 company that is nearly a century old and has managed to navigate through a world of change. There is a lot we can learn from a company with such longevity! What we learn in this episode: • What really caused the decline in mail? It's not just technology and email! • Have you ever asked yourself, exactly what is mail? You may not have realized but there are a number of different types of mail. Not just the letter you send your grandmother, or the junk mail you put straight in the trashcan. There is a world of mail out there that is actually really interesting...we promise! • What type of mail has actually been growing in popularity? • What types of technology are used behind the scenes that help get mail where it needs to go? • How does a big company like Pitney Bowes, or any company for that matter, succeed in this rapidly changing environment?
Bill Shannon is a multidisciplinary artist based in Pittsburgh. In 1992, Shannon attended the The Art Institute of Chicago, earning a BFA in 1995. In 1996 Shannon moved to NYC and immersed himself in the art, dance and skate cultures of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Over the past two decades, Shannon's installations, performances, choreography and video work have been presented nationally and internationally at numerous venues, festivals and events including the Sydney Opera House, Tate Liverpool Museum, NYC Town Hall, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, The Holland Festival, Amsterdam, Temple Bar Dublin, Kiasma Museum Finland, the Hirshhorn Museum, and many more. Shannon also completed a project with Cirque du Soleil: he choreographed an aerial duet and a solo on crutches for their 2002 production "Varekai," which continues to tour.
