In for a penny: micropayments on the Internet

By Jon: First published in Online Currents 2004 – 19(3) 16-17

Why micropayments?

A graph of payment amounts made for Internet transactions would show a large number at the ‘free’ end, representing accesses of the tremendous amount of material funded by advertising, government sponsorship, and just plain altruism. There would be a smaller, extended hump starting at about the $US5 mark and trailing off gradually up in the thousands; included here would be some of the paid reports supplied by Internet research services like Forrester and Gartner. But between zero and, $US5 there would be very little activity. This is the area of micropayments; the region in which the current cost of carrying out a transaction through established methods is greater than the amount of the transaction itself. read more

Internet chat for business

By Jon: First published in Online Currents 2002 – 17(4): 4-6

Abstract

Real-time conversation via the Internet – ‘chat’ – has been overlooked as a means of business communication.  Despite its reputation as a recreational system, chat offers many powerful features of use to everyone in business or government.  Different types of chat systems and chat software are examined here: Web chat, IRC, NetMeeting, ICQ and Yahoo Group chat.  All have their own strengths and weaknesses, but an appropriate system can open new channels of communication for teams of workers. read more

Internet radio

By Jon: First published in Online Currents – 20 (2) March 2005

Got a fast PC? Got a broadband Internet connection with lots of spare capacity? Bored with your own music and want to hear someone else’s? Need to keep up with a specialised news feed? Have a special interest in rare radio programmes? Or are you just looking for a wider choice of information and entertainment than you can get through the local media?

You may be a candidate for listening to Internet radio.

Here’s how it works.

The Basics

Internet radio (IR) is not, of course, radio. Transmission of IR is by cable, like all the other material transmitted over the Internet – unless, of course, you have a wireless connection to the Internet or to your network hub, in which case the last step is by radio after all. But if you only have a wireless connection you probably won’t have the broadband capacity to properly receive IR anyway. Complicated, isn’t it? read more

Internet telephony

By Jon: First published in Online Currents – 20(8) October 2005

Internet telephony, also known as Voice Over Internet (VOI), is the transmission of voice communications in real time using the Internet rather than a proprietary telephone system.  It has two advantages over conventional telephony (known as ‘Plain Old Telephone System’ or POTS); firstly, the cost of calls is lower – sometimes much lower – and secondly, the introduction of a computer into the process allows powerful software to be used for making, monitoring, timing and recording calls. read more

Keyboard macros with AutoHotkey

By Jon: First published in Online Currents – 20 (7) September 2005

Many years ago, at university, I overheard a snippet of conversation between two female students: “I’ve heard of garlic bread,” said one, “but I’ve never tried it.”

Many people feel the same way about macros.  They know that it’s possible to automate repetitive processes on the computer by creating macros, but it all seems too complicated.  There are too many decisions.  Local or global?  Relative or absolute?  Keystroke or toolbar button?  Also, how to create a macro that involves two or more programs?   read more

Education

In 1980 I completed a four-year degree in Psychology at the University of NSW, graduating with a double major B.Sc (Hons). My course included strands of research methods, statistics and industrial psychology. My final year entailed a project in Social Psychology, during which I analysed the results with the statistical analysis program SPSS and wrote them up into a 25,000-word thesis. read more
