Replay Radio geek solutions to geek
problems
09/21/2004 06:38 AMThe building I work in does not receive Radio receptions real good.
The guys and I in the office like to listen to a particular radio show
and we knocked our heads together for a while trying to figure out how
to improve the reception. Fixing the reception problem proved to be
impossible but we did find a geeks way to fix the problem.
I purchased Replay Radio and set it up at home to record the
network stream of the program. It saves the recorded stream in MP3
format every 30 minutes and dumps it in a directory that I have mapped
to a FTP server. I have a standard FTP client running on my desktop
that downloads the MP3 to my laptop which is connected to the network
and we load the MP3 up and listen to the program time delay.
My work does not allow for streaming audio. So to avoid confusion I
asked permission to do this via our IT department and promised to keep
the file sizes under control. They thought it was cool and gave the
thumbs up. It worked out so well that several departments do the same
thing and we have 2-3 national talk radio programs to listen to each
day. Albeit time delay but it works. [Replay Radio]
" Replay Radio is an incredibly easy way to record radio
broadcasts. It's like a "TiVo™ DVR" for the radio. Just pick your
favorite radio show, or select a station and a time range, and Replay
Radio records it for you. Hundreds of shows and stations are
pre-programmed, making recording as easy as point and click."

08/27/2004 01:47 PMCongrats to Roland and Boris and.....
They've just launched Bryght -
a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was
in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving
there.
Vancouver is hot.
Here's Roland's post....
Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal
service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with
Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this
one. Yes, we are all Bryght
guys :-) !
We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to
give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required,
no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at
Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know
of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght
site, please contact us.
Whither StreamLine you might ask?
StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we
still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging
platform.

02/11/2004 09:36 PM Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people
represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they
want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to
account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to
friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions.
Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social
interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied
this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they
send email to (TO and CC) and how...

09/17/2004 12:59 AMSo I'm eating dinner and half-heartedly watching junk TiVo
recorded, including this episode of Landscaper's Challenge (in case
you're wondering, it's a homeowner thing), and I'm not actually
watching but listening kind of and I hear the client make some jokes
and I know that I know that voice from somewhere. I
start watching it intently and racking my brain for a few minutes.
Where have I heard that before? Books on tape? Narrator in a car
commercial? Cartoon voice? And then it hits me: I've heard this guy
"Al" dozens of times, but I've never seen him before. He does the
commentary tracks on all the Simpson's DVDs.

Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
09/20/2004 02:53 AMMy wife and I went to a work related party last night which turned
out to be pretty boring. So much for the $70.00 spent on tickets. We
left early and knew that the sitter was good to go decided to drop in
on a friend of hers.
We get to her house and I am admiring her house and see a big
Master Degree in Education hanging over her computer. I was surprised
to see it actually as we have known her for a while and she had never
mentioned it. Anyway to make a long story short she says hey my PC is
having problems can you look at it.
You guessed it 2 hours later and much under breath cursing I give
up and tell her I need to take it home or we can just pull the restore
disk out and start from scratch. I get this deer in the headlights
look when I explain that her computer has been hijacked and is
infected with nearly every piece of spyware known to man.
1. Virus Definitions 2 years old
2. She had never run Windows Update.
3. Systems is plugged directly into cable modem
4. No Spyware detection software
5. No Firewall
Remember now she has a Masters Degree in Education. She commented I
should open a business and fix peoples computers like hers. I guess my
21+ years working with advanced electronics now makes me qualified to
fix computers. I suppose I could charge her $750.00 for a days worth
of work. All I could do was smile and say drop it by the house and I
will get it fixed for you...
All my wife could say when we left was sorry. I hate stupid
educated people. Sometimes being a geek sucks.
From geek to chef
From geek to chef
09/14/2004 12:46 PMThis past May, when I decided to go on sabbatical I wrote that I
needed a break because:
I had no perspective on anything, I was so deep into my world of
weblogs and tech that I didn't have much sense of what was going on
outside of my geek circles... I've been burning my candle at both ends
for years now, and decided it was time to stop. Emotionally I was
drained. Physically I was drained.
But that wasn't the full truth of it, because there was something I'd
been feeling that I wasn't quite able to admit. It's taken me several
months of time away from computers and tech and geeks to accept the
fact that computers and technology are not my passion.
My interest in the web and tech was always more about people. With
weblogs, it was making it possible for everyone to write online and
share and communicate. And while I was doing it, I really did care
very deeply about my work -- the products we were creating, the people
for whom they were built, and the people who worked with me to build
them. As my career progressed, I pushed myself to be more visible as a
technology speaker, dabbled at freelance writing, and started another
tech company. But something was always missing, and I've realized that
was true passion for what I was doing.
So last night I ended my sabbatical and began my new career doing
something I've always felt passionate about: cooking. I'm working in
the kitchen of a restaurant called Fifty-Six Union (mentioned at the
bottom of thisFeasting on Nantucket article) here on Nantucket.
Yesterday at 3 PM I put on my black chef's clogs, my black pants and
white t-shirt, pulled my Red Sox cap over my hair and got to work
peeling and deveining shrimp. Seven hours later, sweatily scrubbing
the kitchen floors, I was still smiling.
I've learned a lot this summer during my sabbatical but it all can be
summarized in three words: follow your heart.

04/09/2004 04:05 PMI’m going to be in the Bay Area a couple of days this week, and it
looks like I might be able to get out a bit Tuesday evening. I was
thinking about a geek dinner or something but then noticed that the
A’s are hosting Texas that evening.
I’ve never been to see them, but I’ve been told that it’s a nice
park. On the other hand, on the map it looks like a long way to go;
the game’s at 7:05. If I’m going to have to knock off real early
to make the game, that’s not realistic. So... is this a practical
idea? Anyone else interested?

05/06/2004 09:52 PMMeri has a great post up entitled Because We
Are Geeks, which highlights the differences between geeks and the
rest of the world and asks if geeks are really suited to designing and
marketing products for non-geeks.
I'll openly admit that I'm frequently baffled by non-geeks. How
could anyone not want a USB Devil
Duckie? More to the point, I've often wandered what it is that
makes some people more inclined to technical pursuits than others. Is
it something you've born with, or something that you pick up from your
surroundings? I attribute a lot of my geekiness to exposure to both
Lego technic and a C64 from an early age, but would I still have been
drawn towards geeky endeavours if I'd spent my childhood kicking a
football around instead? It's nice to know that Google's Larry Page
was influenced by lego as well.

One of the scariest nightmares I've had in the past decade or so was

black (I'd been playing on a Facit VT100-clone) and in 7-bit ASCII. I
distinctly remember being chased by a lower-case x, scared out of my
wits and at the same time feeling ashamed of being such a wimp that a
mere grid bug was a threat.

The Geek Squad Revisited
The Geek Squad Revisited
06/22/2005 01:56 AMPe
rplexed consumers dial up tech 'geeks': Our original
post on the Geek Squad is one of our most active. This is an
article about the surge in computer support jobs in general, and it
includes this bit on the Geek Squad:
Best Buy last week said it hired 1,500 more employees for its "Geek
Squad," a team of for-hire tech-support staffers. The retail giant now
has about 8,000 staffers taking phone calls, fixing electronics
brought to stores, and traveling to homes and offices to solve
problems. Best Buy hopes to have 12,000 next year.
That's 4,000 most agents in the next year — get your resumes
in, people.
And remember that desktop support is less likely to be offshored
that programming and network administration because it's so much more
helpful to have someone right there to (1) fix your problem, and (2)
show you how to prevent it in the future. I'm thinking these jobs
would be a little more secure than others in IT.
Who you gonna call "The geek squad
that's who!"
Who you gonna call "The geek squad
that's who!"
06/29/2004 04:25 AMSeems that Best Buy has some geeks dressed like geeks that go
around in a VW of all cars and make house calls to fix peoples sick
computers. From the prices that Best Buy is getting for these house
calls I think I need to start free-lancing. But seriously I have spent
100's of hours in people homes fixing their computers as a favor while
trying to get them clued in so I will never have to come back..
Usually when I say give me your credit card so I can buy a Antivirus
Software and a Firewall for their machines that have been sitting wide
open on the net for several years it gets their attention. Especially
when I tell them that their machines have been hacked for several
years. [SFGate]
