Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PMOne of the downsides to the fact that people
can
work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to
stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly
stressed out workers are
asking their bosses to
cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over
their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried
that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could
be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant
to do so.

06/22/2004 06:48 PMEFF is hiring! EFF is the best employer I've ever had -- including
myself, when I was self-employed, and the company I helped found --
and it's hiring a new Membership Coordinator: the person in charge of
satisfying current members and increasing membership. If this sounds
like you, apply!
The Membership Coordinator reports to the Director of Development and
is a key part of EFF's fundraising team. The MC is responsible for
managing all contact with EFF's 12,000+ members, helping to develop
strategies to grow the membership, processing all donations to EFF,
mailing regular "thank-yous"and renewal notices to donors, ensuring an
efficient donation system, managing the donation pages of the website,
and responding to any issues donors may have. The MC also manages all
aspects of EFF's online shop, including order fulfillment. Additional
responsibilities include various marketing projects, including
oversight of the design and printing of t-shirts, hats, stickers,
brochures, and other materials. The MC also attends a number of
commercial conferences each year, managing the EFF booth presence and
speaking informally with conference attendees.

zone differences) NotCon
2004, London's premiere low-cost, informal, one-day technology
conference. Friday's MiniNTK promised the unveiling of a new project from
the people behind FaxYourMP and PublicWhip
and sure enough, here
it is: TheyWorkForYou.com.
TheyWorkForYou.com is the finest example of a political hack I've ever
seen. It's basically an ultra-user-friendly front-end to the Hansard
public record of all speeches and debates in the houses of commons,
with each MP getting
their own page complete with a summary of their recent performance and
member's interests and a list of their recently recorded parliamentary
appearances.
The community features are pretty impressive as well: you
can add comments to any speech made in any debate, and there's also a
user-populated
glossary which is automatically linked in to the speech
transcripts.
But with all that, the most useful feature is probably the
most subtle: you can subscribe to an RSS feed of your MP's appearances, meaning you can keep track of
everything they say on your behalf. It's simple, powerful and a
perfect example of the political hacker ethic at work.
We can work it out
We can work it out
09/24/2004 05:45 PMBBC commentator Bill Thompson, riffing on
the ongoing dispute between Apple Computer and Apple Corps (the
Beatles), has a suggestion:
In the days they set up Apple Corps they were radical hippies who
challenged the establishment in many ways.
Wouldn't it be nice if they did the same thing now, and made the
music available without rights management systems, under a
non-commercial Creative Commons license that let others reuse their
songs?
It would be a wonderful gesture to the future, recognising that the
Fab Four only succeeded because they were inspired by those who came
before, taking riffs and musical forms from others.
Maybe it'll never happen with the Beatles. However, today's radical
musicians may wish to consider the message that wraps up Justin Cone's
Building on the Past before selling out:
Creativity always builds on the past.
And you're building the past right now.

07/02/2004 09:53 AM20q.net is an online game of 20 questions that apparently starts off

how it works, but I'm having trouble finding any explanations, and
mail to the address given on the site is going unanswered. Anyone know
of a place that discusses how it works? In particular, how does it
come up with the questions? E.g., where does "Does it come in packs?"
come from? TIA (no, not Total Information Awareness.)...

How Finns work
How Finns work
01/16/2004 11:03 AMI guess this tells something about the nature of Finns:
I was up uncharacteristically early this morning, and waiting for a
tram with a bunch of other random people. The tram comes, and the
driver can be clearly seen waving around, as if she had flies in her
driving compartment - or as if she was simply mad. This is slightly
worrying.
The tram stops, and the doors take a while to open. The driver looks
at us and says "This tram will turn."
People stare at her, uncomprehending.
"This tram will TURN!" she says, sounding a bit angry this
time. "There's another tram right behind us", she
continues.
Nobody asks the obvious question "where will the tram turn
and why there are then people in it and what the fuck do you mean by
the whole thing anyway, lady", and everybody steps politely back
and lets the tram go. Apparently a tram which turns is a very bad
thing, and you are not to board one.
Comes the next tram, and people hop onto it. This tram follows the
previous one very carefully for many minutes, until it turns out that
the first one does not actually turn anywhere, but it goes
straight from a crossing that it was supposed to take a right
turn at. Regardless, I could've taken either route - both got me very
close to where I was going anyway...
This is so highly confusing at 8 am.
Games In Ads Still Work
Games In Ads Still Work
11/06/2003 05:21 AMBack in 1996 or 1997 when banner ads were first becoming popular
online, I (like so many folks) quickly learned to ignore them. Then,
one day, I came across the banner ad that got me hooked. I was
ashamed to admit it, but there was a banner ad from HP for a product
called the mopier (yes, I still remember), and within the banner ad,
you could play the game pong. Yes, it's a very simple game, and there
were probably other places online I could have found pong, but I got
hooked for at least half an hour playing pong in a banner ad.
Afterwards, I was a little ashamed, but later spent time trying to
search out the same ad. The HP mopier product never went anywhere,
but that ad has stayed in my head ever since. Of course, since then,
there have been plenty of other ads that have involved games, and I've
learned to ignore all of them as well. However, I'm reminded of that
story in reading this article from an editor at PC Mag who basically
went
through an identical game-in-ad playing experience recently - but
in a pop up ad. It seems that no matter how much you dislike ads,
sometimes you just can't ignore a little game.
Work and Camp

08/14/2004 10:52 PM
I have been really busy with a client for the past few days, trying
to get a good
handle around a misbehaving web service benchmark. Oracle
JDBC drivers played
a key role by hanging instead of complaining. My opinion of
Axis, an open source web
service toolkit, took a dive as well. It's a
complicated, buggy, and slow
tool that makes you want to chuck it aside as soon as you use
it. Unfortunately,
it's what most people are using on the Java side these days.
Thankfully, I'll be camping at Tahoe again starting this
Sunday. But before
that, I got a ton of work to do Saturday. Decent weekends are
rare for me.
When I was young, I dedicated my weekends to my singles life,
dating and clubing.
These days, I am working for either myself or my clients every
weekend.
If I am not working on weekends, it's usually because I am
recovering from too much
work during the weekdays. My method of recovery is to read or
watch two three
books or movies in a single sitting. Of course, this leaves
little room for
quality family time so I am glad for the occasional camping.
So the work begins....
So the work begins....
09/06/2004 03:35 AMWe did an IRC chat last night (my time) for the OpenMedia
project.
Here's the beginnings of those efforts - An XSPF-based schema for
OpenMedia playlists from Lucas
Gonze.
Now I gotta go figure out what's XSPF (something tells me it has
something to do with Kevin Marks) and how this works with all the
OTHER playlist formats out there.
There's nothing I hate more - than redeundant work, overlapping
cofusions and tech politics in general. That seems to take up most of
my time.
Like yet another digital ID format - from Atom.
Ugh.
Anyway - thanks to Lucas for this - it's great getting this effort
started. Maybe we should call it ourMedia.org
instead.
What do you think?
We couldn't really nail down the other domain.

How colds work
The nose contains shelf-like structures called turbinates, which help
trap particles entering the nasal passages. Material deposited in the
nose is transported by ciliary action to the back of the throat in
10-15 minutes. Cold viruses are believed to be carried to the back of
the throat where they are deposited in the area of the adenoid. The
adenoid is a lymph gland structure that contains cells to which cold
viruses attach.
