Note to coworkers regarding sick days
12/13/2003 10:27 AMFellow Yahoos, Apparently some of you have forgotten about our
company's most excellent "sick days" policy. It basically states that
there's no fixed number of sick days that you're allowed to use per
year. You cannot accumulate sick days and they don't expire. Instead,
when you're sick or have a medical obligation, you stay home or
otherwise deal with it. The logical consequence of this policy, I
thought, was quite simple--easy enough for a 5 year old to grasp.
But...

Promoting Fake Sick Days
08/04/2004 03:05 PMApparently, despite all the clever humor to come out of the UK over
the years, the folks who work at the Advertising Standards Authority
in the UK have no sense of humor at all. Tech giant Benq started an
ad campaign this summer suggesting that with their products, your
"bogus sick days will be 33% more enjoyable." Not laugh out loud
funny, but an amusing little tagline to get some interest.
Apparently, the ASA is scared to death that people will take this
seriously and start
calling in sick just
to mess around with Benq computers -- because we're sure that
before this ad came out no one ever faked a sick day.

How Dotster cost me days and days of

How Dotster cost me days and days of
downtime: stay away from this registrar
08/12/2004 07:36 AMA year ago, the DNS for craphound.com disappeared. Which was weird,
because I was paying for DNS with Dotster, my registrar.
I called them up and spoke to their tech support people. "Oh yeah,"
they said, "your paid service ended a month ago but our billing system
was broken so we didn't send out a notice. So we terminated you for
nonpayment. But dude, you're lucky! We gave you a free month's DNS!"
Lucky lucky me. I got a free month's DNS and to pay for it, I was
bouncing mail all over the Internet and my Website wasn't resolving.
Bastards. I bought two years' worth of DNS and vowed that when the
domain came up for renewal, I'd switch away from Dotster. I sent them
an email telling them as much and got an email back apologizing and
saying that they would certainly never terminate my DNS wihtout notice
again (you see where this is going, I trust)
Craphound.com is up for renewal at the end of August. Not wanting to
leave things to the last minute, I changed over early this month,
switching registrars to Domain
Direct, who are now the registrar for all of my domains, and
boingboing.net besides.
I didn't move over the DNS -- I figured I'd paid Dotster for another
year's service, I might as well get it. Instead, I left myself a
reminder in my iCal for next July to set up DNS at DomainDirect a
month ahead of the service running out on Dotster.
This morning, Dotster terminated my DNS. Without warning. And when I
called, they told me there was nothing they could do about it. Even
though there's nothing in my DNS contract that says that DNS is
provided to domains registered with Dotster and no others, that is,
apparently, their policy. And they can't make exceptions. Not even for
48h while I effect a graceful change to DomainDirect (who have been
fantastic throughout and now have 100 percent of my domain
registration and DNS business).
Bastards.

PCs out sick more than users
06/25/2004 08:37 AMThe average UK PC is rendered unusable for the equivalent of around
nine working days every year because the owner is cleaning up spam or
fighting viruses. This is two days a year more than the average UK
worker takes off as sick leave, according to Yahoo. A survey of 2,500
UK e-mail users found that 70 percent of users had been infected by a
virus in the past year and 42 percent say they found it less stressful
fighting their way through rush-hour traffic than finding legitimate
e-mails among the spam in their inboxes. Spam is a problem for all
e-mail users but some companies are hit harder than others.

Computers Make You Sick
Computers Make You Sick
09/09/2004 12:33 PMNot feeling so good? Perhaps you should blame your computer. A new
study says that
three out of every four office workers have
health problems because they're not properly trained to use their
computer. The problems are pretty obvious: back problems, eyesight
problems or headaches. As this becomes a bigger and bigger problem,
the suggestion is that corporations need to be more proactive in
training people on good computing and good ergonomics. Of course,
none of this seems particularly new, and many companies already have
ergonomics groups that make sure people are well set up to use their
computer in a healthy manner. At some point, good computing practices
and good ergonomics are going to be issues that people are trained in
at an early age -- and not at the office. However, in the meantime,
companies who want to protect their employees' eyes, back and head
might want to do a better job ensuring good computing ergonomic
practices.

Professor Michael Hawley [Slashdot]
"Today's CBS This
Morning ran an interesting profile on MIT Professor Michael
Hawley. Aside from recently publishing a
super-jumbo-sized book about the Kingdom of Bhutan, he has
invented (among other things) an interactive
kitchen counter, designed a heart monitor embedded in jewelry,
contributed to the MIT Toys of
Tomorrow project and has written several classical compositions
for piano. What really struck me was Hawley's observation that
'today's computers aren't musical enough.' For him, there is 'no
difference between an ivory keyboard and a QWERTY keyboard.' I think
it's a good thing that the mainstream media is starting to show how
'computer nerds' (as the correspondent identified Hawley) can be rich
individuals with much more to their lives than hardware upgrades,
programming languages and pocket protectors."

Cory Doctorow:
USAToday has hired Michael Moore to cover the Republican National
Convention:
Hanging out around the convention, I've encountered a number of the
Republican faithful who aren't delegates. They warm up to me when they
don't find horns or a tail. Talking to them, I discover they're like
many people who call themselves Republicans but aren't really
Republicans. At least not in the radical-right way that George W.
Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft and Co. have defined Republicans.
I asked one man who told me he was a "proud Republican," "Do you think
we need strong laws to protect our air and water?"
"Well, sure," he said. "Who doesn't?"
I asked whether women should have equal rights, including the same pay
as men.
"Absolutely," he replied.
"Would you discriminate against someone because he or she is gay?"
"Um, no." The pause — I get that a lot when I ask this question
— is usually because the average good-hearted person instantly
thinks about a gay family member or friend.
