want to use the hot corners (I already have them overloaded with
Exposé and I want to have the top left corner free so I don't have to
worry about counting pixels when I try and access the Apple menu), but
so far the best way to lock the Powerbook is to go and turn the lid
down and then back up again. which turns on the screen saver (and
stops iTunes, BTW, since the computer goes to sleep for a second).
I know there are Mac people reading me, so please: tell me which key
combination I have to use, or which freeware application I have to
install to just be able to press Apple-F12 to lock the computer! I've
been trying to find the info from Google, but apparently I haven't
been able to figure out the right keywords.

Passym sucks
Passym sucks
01/22/2004 03:17 AMTonight is my second night in an Embassy Suites with Passym
Wireless internet access, and I have to say that Passym really
sucks.
Connectivity is just horrible. I don't know why the service sucks
so badly... it might be because I'm in a corner room (they're larger
at the Embassy Suites) or it might be because I'm using a Macintosh,
but neither of those two things should be reasons that the
connectivity sucks so badly...
Maybe there are too many people using the service to keep up with
what I want to do, but that shouldn't be a problem. I've normally
stayed in Wyndham and Marriot hotels with Wayport access, and even
though most of the time those hotels only provide wired access, they
always worked just fine. I could connect to my office's VPN at the
most complicated end of connectivity issues, and I could definitely
send email through my own servers, but with this silly Passym service,
I can't connect to the VPN and I can't even send email through my own
service... and the speeds are terribly slow compared to what I expect
them to be... especially at $10/day.
The worst part is that to get technical support, I'm supposed to
email their support@ email address... no one here at the hotel knows
anything about the service from a technical/troubleshooting
stand-point, and I can't get email out through my email client. Good
thing I have a webmail client set up on my server...
So, next time I stay in a hotel, I'll ask them if they have
internet access, and I'll ask who the provider is. If it's Passym,
I'll choose a different hotel if internet connectivity will be a
need.

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.

Why JSP Sucks So Hard
Why JSP Sucks So Hard
12/19/2002 11:43 PMonce again my UI engineers will be taking perfectly good HTML
written in Dreamweaver and tearing it apart, throwing out some of it
and rewriting other parts of it, just to make it work with the JSP
they're writing. Once they're done, the HTML author will have
absolutely no clue what the page does any more, and will have no
desire or ability to edit it. When we insist that no really we need
this redesigned, we'll spend twice as long doing it (doubling our
costs, negative ROI, bad technology choice, yadda yadda yadda) since
the HTML author will need that long to write in sample data and then
have the JSP author tear it out again. -- Marc Hedlund

Maybe. But not sufficiently so for the

much anything about it.
Maybe the Judge could have recommended the same sex-ed scheme that
shows, in parts of England and Wales where it [called A Pause] was
trialled in 104 schools, sexual intercourse among 16-year-olds fell by
up to 20 per cent.
Now that may mean we have to have
more
discussion of oral and manual, with less genital-genital emphasis.
Anything that promotes the right to say 'no' amongst vulnerable young
folks is alright by me.

XHTML For Syndication Sucks
XHTML For Syndication Sucks
12/03/2002 11:46 AMI've been reading a lot lately about using XHTML
instead of RSS for syndication of a web site in a news aggregator.
The statement is this:
All that would be needed is standardization of names and classes
for page elements like DIVs and headers. A post/entry title would
always be an H3, with a class set to "title", for example. Permanent
links would always be P tags with their classes set to "permalink".
Simple.
To me, this is not only a terrible idea, but a lazy idea. (But, then
again, I could be speaking hastily.) How hard is it to create an RSS
file? How hard is it to setup MT? Why would I want to give up the
right to name my .title class .blogtitle or .articletitle? I like RSS,
it works well, and is automatically generated for me, as well as for
everybody who has a use for it.
So I guess the whole point of using XHTML for syndication is to get
away from having to type in http://noeljackson.com/index.xml instead
of just pointing your aggregator to the base URL
(http://noeljackson.com). But wait a sec isn't that what the <link
rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
href="http://www.noeljackson.com/index.xml" /> tag is for?
The only plus is not having to maintain multiple files. But the same
problem occurs, you have to mark-up your XHTML according to someone
elses specs, just like with RSS. Except with RSS you can separate your
content from your design, which makes RSS syndication faster than
XHTML and to me it seems like a "cleaner" idea. I don't know about
you, but I definitely don't want to see XHTML become the next
syndication form. Don't hate me for saying that, but I just think
there are better ways to do it. Having pure XML and an XSLT stylsheet
for XHTML and RSS seems like the best way to do it to me. I just wish
XSLT stylesheets could be easier to implement on the client side. Oh
bother, I sure hope RSS sticks around.

Sucks Sites Get Some More Support
Sucks Sites Get Some More Support
04/05/2005 04:42 AMThe issue of so-called
"suck
s sites" has come up plenty of times before. Someone upset by
something a company did puts up a website all about how that company
"sucks" and (almost invariably) the company proceeds to sue the person
for trademark infringement, thereby guaranteeing that their heavy
handed tactics get more attention. A smarter move might be to
actually address the issues on the site or simply leave it alone, but
somehow many corporate lawyers just can't resist. While some of these
sites
have been awarded to the companies, it looks like the
courts are increasingly realizing that people have the right to
criticize companies online. The latest such decision, about someone
angry with a hair-replacement service,
has some great quotes from the court explaining why this
isn't trademark infringement (though, the court also chose to go the
pun route with phrases like "bald-faced" and "splitting hairs").
"The Supreme Court has made it clear that trademark infringement law
prevents only unauthorized uses of a trademark in connection with a
commercial transaction in which the trademark is being used to confuse
potential consumers. Kremer's use of the Bosley Medical mark simply
cannot mislead consumers into buying a competing product -- no
customer will mistakenly purchase a hair replacement service from
Kremer under the belief that the service is being offered by Bosley."
Once again, the courts have been called in to explain that a trademark
doesn't mean you control every instance of the trademark -- but just
those where someone is trying to mislead and confuse potential
customers. You would think that lawyers (you know, experts in the
law) would understand this concept by now.
Update: Apparently,
confusion over this matter is fairly common. Even the AP's "legal
affairs writer" seems to think copyright and trademarks are
interchangeable terms.

Paolo is wondering why Apple went from

06/29/2004 12:21 PMI assume that Paolo (by now) realizes that Apple will take
standards and change them - just to be different.
It has happened with cables and connectors, browsers and now XML
icons. I wonder what is next?
But we all love Apple - right? They're doing our R&D for us!
=========
Here is
Paolo's post.....
Among the other news from yesterday's Apple Developers Conference
keynote, it's interesting to note that apple picked the blue RSS icon
and not the orange XML one to represent RSS (and Atom).
Even if I'm a long time orange icon user and fan, I think I can
imagine Apple thinking: "why using an icon with the word 'XML' to link
to something we call 'RSS'?". It's true: users are smart, but why
making their life harder?
For some time XML icons were popping up everywhere. They linked RSS
feeds but also other kind of XML files such as OPML blogrolls (oops, I
have just realized that I still have such an icon here) and I do agree
that it might have been confusing for users not living in our
loop.
It's not that by choosing the blue icon Apple has closed all games
but they definetly made a significant step in one direction. Soon we
will see if users will start switching to the blue icon. Meanwhile I
guess I'll adopt both for my site.
Also, from the demo's I've seen, Safari should solve another issue:
users clicking on an RSS icon will not end up watching a page of code
anymore but should see a nicely displayed set of posts. Cool.
