After 50 years on the American side of the curtain, I know a great deal more about the US and a great deal less about Britain, even though I go there at least once a year. The Atlantic is very wide, in very many ways.

Is that a fair comment? Yes — it was written ten years earlier, without any thought of related books. But within two or three chapters, Merriman Lyon came into my head, making me forget about the prize, and Over Sea, Under Stone became a fantasy instead. Ten years later, living in the US, I had an idea for a book about a boy who wakes up on his 11th birthday and finds he can work magic.

Something made me re-read Over Sea , and I realised that the new book wanted to connect with it, and one magical day I found myself making a list of the titles and characters of four more books in a sequence of five. Then I started to write the second of the five, The Dark is Rising.

How important was the Wheel of the Year in structuring the books? And so they all were. If authors could reboot their work, as TV programmes and films do , what would you change about The Dark is Rising sequence?

I was once hired to write a screenplay from The Dark is Rising , though the film was never made; it was much closer to the book than an adaptation by another writer filmed years later, which turned Will Stanton into an American teenager and gave him a twin brother who had spent 14 years locked up inside a snowglobe. Its entry in Wikipedia observes: Cornish fishing villages, Welsh mountains, Buckinghamshire forests…the landscape of Britain seems to be a character in itself.

What is it about these islands that sings to you… even in your current Massachusetts salt marsh! By birth I am three-quarters English and one quarter Welsh, and you could say the same of the books in The Dark is Rising sequence. Share this Rating Title: Use the HTML below.

It has a much more limited vocabulary, but still uses the original "Mary" as the voice interface. Most of the management that was involved in bringing Portico to market left by early to pursue other interests with Internet startups. A new team was brought in led by Kathleen Layton.

The new team took the company in the direction of turning its voice services into enterprise software offerings. Unfortunately, the tech market began to crater, taking telecom and enterprise software with it. After 12 years in existence, the company announced it would cease operations on September 18, The patents were auctioned by the court, and mostly purchased by Paul Allen. The basic idea behind the General Magic system was to distribute the computing load of a typical user's tasks across many machines in the network.

The company believed that handhelds would always be lacking power in comparison to the desktops and servers they would communicate with, so that making a clone of a desktop machine in a handheld form would be doomed to fail.

Instead, the devices would be based on a fairly minimal operating system known as Magic Cap , which is essentially a UI and the most basic services needed to run the machine. The UI is based on a "rooms" metaphor; for example, e-mail and an address book can be found in the office, and games might be found in a living room. User applications were generally written in a variant of the C programming language with object oriented extensions, calling the set of objects that made up the Magic Cap OS.

These programs are installed in packages that are quickly loaded and unloaded as needed in order to conserve space. These applications, and interactions between them, can be scripted using the utility language, Magic Script. Programs can also be written in the new Telescript programming language , which makes communications a first-class primitive of the language. Telescript is compiled into a cross-platform bytecode in much the same fashion as the Java programming language , but is able to migrate running processes between virtual machines.

This idea defined a robust agent that could serialize its code, data, and state, deploy itself across one or more remote computers, and resume execution at the next instruction with all state intact. For instance, a user might start a Telescript application on their handheld that purchased movie tickets; when they had complete the basic input, the agent would migrate itself over the cell phone network and begin running on the movie theatre's server.

There, the migrated user agent would interact with other agents running on the server to perform the actual purchase. The server would complete the transaction, fill out results data in the original agent, and migrate it back to the user's device. The agent might perform days- or weeks-long tasks after the client disconnected, and dispatch updates periodically to the client.

The user-end software was tasked primarily with request and display. The developers saw a time when Telescript application engines would be widely available across various communications systems, first the cell phone networks and desktop machines, and later the internet. Eventually Telescript would become ubiquitous, and interconnected Telescript engines would form a "Telescript Cloud" across which mobile applications could execute.

Stationary, long-lived processes called "places" would run in the cloud permanently and provide services to agents which would "go" from one place to another to access services, collect information, and eventually dispatch results back to the user.

Sony and Motorola introduced Magic Cap devices in late , based on the Motorola Dragon microprocessor. Unlike the Newton and other PDAs being introduced at the same time, the Magic Cap system did not rely on handwriting recognition , [1] which meant it was almost an afterthought in terms of media coverage when Apple introduced the Newton.

From that point on every PDA discussion was about the quality of the recognition, and the Magic Cap systems were basically ignored.
