The Waiting is the Hardest Part

The Waiting is the Hardest Part 01/22/2004 02:41 AM
[This is part of a series of posts on the home buying process I'm going thru. To see the full set, visit the house category archives.] I put an offer on a townhouse today. I've supposed to hear back by 9pm, but my realtor just e-mailed me to say she hasn't heard anything yet. Grr. I'll say know more when I know more. Needless to say, it's been a completely insane day. The housing market in the Bay Area is...

Wish list: Wait for Message

Wish list: Wait for Message 06/19/2004 07:40 AM
Here's a feature I'd like in a mail client: Wait for Message (WFM). Sometimes I'm expecting a message from someone that I want to make sure doesn't get washed down the spam drain. So, I'd like to specify an address or keywords and have my mail client notify me when it arrives. After I acknowledge receipt of the message, by default it removes the search string from the WFM list. This is like a white list that plays favorites. I tried building this in VBA for Outlook but succeeded only in creating a time-space loop that dims lights all across...

Despite Various Lawsuits, ICANN Approves
VeriSign's Wait List Service

Despite Various Lawsuits, ICANN Approves
VeriSign's Wait List Service 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
I imagine that this is not the last we are going to hear on this topic. Despite lawsuits from VeriSig n and a group of domain registrars over this very issue, ICANN has moved forward and approved VeriSign's plans for a "wait-listing" service. The service is designed so that people can basically put in bids for domain names before they even expired, thus creating a master list. One potential benefit (or problem, depending on your point of view) is that it could act as insurance against companies who forget to renew their own domain. The smaller registrars claim this will harm their own business in selling expired domain names - which is likely to be true. However, not all actions that harm other companies' ability to make money are illegal. In many areas, that's just business. The real question, from a legal standpoint, is whether or not this goes beyond VeriSign's granted rights, and is basically allowing them to leverage their (legal) monopoly position into other areas. That's something for the courts to decide, but I'm sure many will find the timing of ICANN's approval (so soon after being sued by everyone) questionable.

Hardest core person so far

Hardest core person so far 02/10/2004 02:44 AM
The hardest core person encountered so far on this trip is Eric Duquenoy (http://eduquenoy.chez.tiscali. fr).  He left France a little more than two years ago in a smallish 4WD diesel Mitsubishi, drove down through French Northwest Africa, shipped his car/home from Togo to Brazil, drove down to Ushuaia, Argentina, then came up the West Coast of South America as far as Ecuador before shipping the car up here to Panama City (there is no road link between Columbia and Panama and it is dangerous to drive through Columbia).  Eric is a 44-year-old former computer programmer who sleeps in a pop-up mattress/tent mounted to his car's roof (similar to what you see at http://www.loftyshelters.com/ ).  Eric and I met in the old city this afternoon and he gave me a lift back to my hotel where I discovered the hardest core element of all in his story:  the Mitsubishi is unairconditioned.

In an academic setting, a score of 90 percent earns an automatic "A". By that measure, the team shaping Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 merits a similar high passing grade. When the innovative application debuted last October, it reflected the pioneering edge of the digital note-taking category. Today, Microsoft honed that edge by announcing the preview release of Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 (OneNote SP1). Ninety percent of the features included in the software update are a direct result of customer input and feedback -- with the remaining 10 percent coming from indirect customer feedback.

John Lautner's Chemosphere: part
Jetsons, part Bond and vintage L.A.
Modern. 04/07/2005 12:53 PM
The most modern home built in the world. "From the outside it looks like a spaceship you cannot enter. But if you go inside, it feels very cozy… very Zen and calming. Maybe because you are floating above the city, in the sky". John Lautner's Chemosphere residence is the product of a fortuitous union of architect, client, time and place. Leonard Malin was a young aerospace engineer in late-1950s L.A. whose father-in-law had just given him a plot north of Mulholland Drive, near Laurel Canyon. The only catch: at roughly 45 degrees, the slope was all but unbuildable. Lautner sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it. "Draw it up," he told his assistant. Now publisher Benedik t Taschen owns Chemosphere (NSFW), and after 20 years of neglect the house has been beautifully restored (.pdf) by Frank Escher.

Michael Harrison, an English poet, was once asked how to become a good writer. He replied, "If you want to be a good writer, write. You don't wait for inspiration."

Don Box, co-author of SOAP, gives similar advice in the above link:

• Read fewer specifications,
• write more applications,
• write less code by using tools that generate code automatically,
• and remember that humans matter, so if you must write a specification, make it legible.

And John's advice is: "You can be hasty, but keep a backup!"
