Note to coworkers regarding sick days


Note to coworkers regarding sick days 12/13/2003 10:27 AM
Fellow Yahoos, Apparently some of you have forgotten about our company's most excellent "sick days" policy. It basically states that there's no fixed number of sick days that you're allowed to use per year. You cannot accumulate sick days and they don't expire. Instead, when you're sick or have a medical obligation, you stay home or otherwise deal with it. The logical consequence of this policy, I thought, was quite simple--easy enough for a 5 year old to grasp. But...

Company Gets In Trouble For Ads
Promoting Fake Sick Days
08/04/2004 03:05 PM
Apparently, despite all the clever humor to come out of the UK over the years, the folks who work at the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK have no sense of humor at all. Tech giant Benq started an ad campaign this summer suggesting that with their products, your "bogus sick days will be 33% more enjoyable." Not laugh out loud funny, but an amusing little tagline to get some interest. Apparently, the ASA is scared to death that people will take this seriously and start calling in sick just to mess around with Benq computers -- because we're sure that before this ad came out no one ever faked a sick day.

Larry O'Brien says "It is a mistake for UI designers to heed debates such as going on in Scoble's comments on UI requests for Longhorn."

Oh, don't worry, I doubt the Aero team will listen to me. But, my goal wasn't really to get the Aero team to listen to me anyway. It was to get the market to think about what they'd like to see in Longhorn. Goal achieved!

My coworkers were chiding me during the day, though. Everyone has an opinion about settings in Windows.

Postini: Half of all e-mail requests

Postini: Half of all e-mail requests
rejected
07/08/2004 09:09 AM
Antispam company Postini Inc. said that it is now rejecting more than half of all attempts to send e-mail to its customers, due in part to increased activity from compromised home computers that have been turned into "zombies" for sending unsolicited commercial ("spam") e-mail. The company is dropping 53 percent of all e-mail connections that use the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) without reading the content of the e-mail messages. That's an almost 20 percent increase since the company began aggregating information about troublesome Internet addresses from across its customer base, said Andrew Lochart, director of product marketing at Postini.

Creating answers for the requests to the requests to your web server can sometimes be a hassle. 404s are the easiest - with a simple Apache directive, users can be directed to a nice simple page telling them of the error. Most of the others can be handled similarly, but this article might just be a better way.
