Helping people start bl0gs

Helping people start bl0gs 06/11/2004 11:11 AM

I've helped 2 friends of mine start blogs in the past year: Jay and Melina (I don't even remember her URL). They don't blog much though, think they aren't getting that bloggin' feeling. Jay sends me URL's sometimes that I tell him he should put on his blog instead.

What are your experiences with helping people start blogs?

The Start of Library Conference Blogs?

The Start of Library Conference Blogs? 12/02/2003 01:27 AM

InfoToday Blog

"Information Today, Inc. editors will be blogging the news and events live from Online Information 2003 in London. Bookmark this site — http://www.infotodayblog.com/ — and hear about all of the show action directly from the information industry's leading editors." [via Peter Scott's Library Blog]

Excellent - library conferences finally start to catch up! And InfoToday is smart enough to give the blog its own domain name. We're still missing the collaborative, aggregate library conference blog, but we're getting there. Unfortunately, that won't really happen until we get open WiFi at these conferences. At the Internet Librarian conference, Liz Lawley noted the lack of open notebook computers in the audience. I did, too, but I chalked this up in part to the lack of wireless. No need for me to lug around a disconnected brick. So wil InfoToday and/or their conference sponsors figure this out and distinguish their conferences from other library-related ones?

Suggestion: use LISFeeds to create an feed for the site so that we RSS bigots can follow the blog!

Blogs are 'unsourced rantings' says former NY Times editor

From the 'Department of Supreme Irony' comes a statement by Howell Raines (the former Executive Editor of the New York Times) that blogging is 'unsourced ranting' (the link is to a News.com article that links to an Atlantic Monthly article that you have to subscribe to in order to view).

First of all, Raines' statement is so completely ludicrous as to be laughable. Weblogs have a lot of shortcomings, but lack of sourcing isn't one of them. In fact, if you want to criticize weblogs you would do better to complain about the excess of linking to other sources and the dearth of original material. But the more important point is the one filled with irony. Here is Howell Raines, who lost his job at the NYT because he was at the helm during the Jayson Blair scandal, complaining about problems with 'sourcing.' You remember the Jayson Blair scandal don't you? He was a young rising star reporter who was Raines' 'golden boy' at the Times. It turned that the way that he rose quickly was by not wasting time doing the usual investigative grunt work; instead he completely fabricated stories and sources.

“Blogging is the Same as Stamp Collecting for the Semi-Retired”

I still keep running into references to New York Times’ technology reporter John Markoff’s off-handed remarks that he does a blog, it’s called “Newyorktimes.com” In a recent conversation he told me that as far as he was concerned blogging is essentially the same as “stamp collecting” for the semi-retired.

We should have "funniest characterization of blogging by New York Times people" awards.

Pruning Blogroll

Pruning Blogroll 01/07/2004 04:40 PM

I am cleaning up my blogroll just now, self-discovering blog feeds one by one.  Esther Dyson and Halley Suitt's blogs at Blogspot are apparently gone so I have removed them for now.  This feels too much like housecleaning.  Urgh.

Just finished N.  Choo-choo!  Are we there yet?  Choo-choo!  This is how a highly paid, amazingly creative, and supposedly well-respected consultant/visionary/guru spends the last day of a year.  My wife and I are not going anywhere tonight which leaves us wondering what we are going to eat for dinner.  I don't really care what I eat -- I hardly eat much of anything -- but my wife defines her life by what she ate and where she went.  So I care by proxy.

Koreans Start International Election
Campaign against Bush 01/18/2004 07:04 PM

OhmyNews is reporting that an NGO group in Korea (sorry, their name is difficult to translate) has launched an international campaign named “Defeat Bush Network” to defeat Bush in the upcoming election.  Here is a picture of some Indians holding Defeat Bush Network tabloids that were handed out in Moombai (?), India in their efforts to get citizens of other countries involved.

Looks like Bush loses by one vote in this group

While non-Americans trying to influence the outcome of an American election is weird and I have mixed feelings about it, I must say they got some balls.  If I had to guess, I think their argument is that it's their business if they are affected by the result of the election.

Oxford May Suspend Students Who Pointed
Out Network Flaws

Oxford May Suspend Students Who Pointed
Out Network Flaws 07/16/2004 04:50 AM
Stories like these are way too common these days. Two Oxford University students, working for the school newspaper, figured out how easy it was to break into the school's network and access private student data. They wrote up a front page article on the vulnerabilities in the system, and were promptly handed over to the police. The police told the university to handle it internally, but Oxford is now looking at suspending the students and potentially fining them as well. Of course, there's no word whatsoever on whether the university actually patched the holes in their system. Why is it that so many people who point out security vulnerabilities are immediately accused of criminal acts? This only gives good people the incentive not to find and point out these vulnerabilities -- but you can be quite sure that those up to no good are already exploiting them.

Imageless RSS Feed Icon for Blogroll

Imageless RSS Feed Icon for Blogroll 01/09/2004 09:56 PM

Orange icon typically used for RSS feeds is nice but I had two problems with it:

First, it was too distracting when there are many of them together (i.e. blogroll).  Second, IE 6 sometimes fail to load such small images used many times in a single page.

Following is a modified version of a CSS-based solution suggested by Richard Soderberg which you can find in the comment section of my IE6 SP1 Small Image Loading Bug post.  This version has following changes:

• Size was reduced.
• Colors were toned down and inversed to reduce distraction.
• Original look is restored when mouse is hovering over it.

CSS fragment follows:

.feedIconStyle {
 font-family: arial, helvetica;
 font-size: 8px;
 font-weight: bold;
 text-decoration: none;
 border: 1px solid;
 padding: 0px 2px 0px 2px;
 margin: 0px;
 vertical-align: middle;
}

.feedIconStyle, .feedIconStyle:link, .feedIconStyle:visited, .feedIconStyle:active {
 color: #FF9966;
 background-color: white;
 border-color: #FF9966;
}

.feedIconStyle:hover {
 color: white;
 background-color: #FF6600;
 border-color: #FFC8A4 #7D3302 #3F1A01 #FF9A57;
}

Usage Examples:

<a href=“blah“ class=“feedIconStyle“>XML</a>

<a href=“blah“ class=“feedIconStyle“>RSS 2.0</a>

Visit my blog to see how they look.  I use the logo in my blogroll.
