commercial e-mail, nicknamed spam, which jams inboxes and clogs
Internet traffic worldwide.

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up
05/24/2004 05:37 PMThe latest study on spam trends appears to show that
financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam
- though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really
hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that
porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers
have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter
what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to
slow down the amount of spam sent.

06/05/2004 07:31 PM I am now getting 2,000+ spams a day. There are 1,440 minutes in a day
The rate of incoming spams is therefore getting close to the interval
it takes me to check my email and dispose of a single spam: By the
time I'm done checking, more spam has arrived. That is the point at
which the spam droplets form a continuous stream. And that is the
point at which no interval of my life will ever be spam-free again....

Market Failure
Market Failure
09/19/2004 11:31 PMRight now we are encountering an irritating failure of
the free market. We had some ductwork done a
couple of months ago, and have a chunk of missing drywall in our
living room. There are some other bits and pieces of drywalling that
need doing here and there around the house, too. No problem, call up
an expert, right? Wrong. At this moment in Vancouver, no drywaller
can be bothered to take on a job that’s only one or two days’
work; they’re all coasting along doing ten-thousand-dollar-and-up
mansion renovations. Drywalling is tricky, irritating, messy work best
left to professionals... but it looks like we’re going to be taking
it on. At any Vancouver social gathering, the general unavailability
of tradespeople is a reliable conversation-starter. Hey kids, consider
staying away from that expensive and arduous college education and
taking up a trade; for damn sure your job won’t get outsourced to
another continent.

The Passion of the
Present
A failure of will
Forces from across the world are poised to help the people of
Darfur, but no nation has the will to move forward.
We are in a tragic and signal moment, a catalytic moment, where the
world sees the need, has the means, and yet continues to experience a
failure of will.
...Now it is the public's turn. It is our turn. The time is now for
our action. We must ask our leaders to act now, not in 30 days.
All key elements are in place, except the will to launch the rescue
of Darfur in earnest.
A call to action that you should all
read. This is "low hanging fruit" on the "lets do something good
today" tree. Take some action today.

Army Vice Chief of Staff (the Army's #2) in testimony before the
House Armed Services Committe on July 15th.
“The intellectual capital to prepare ourselves
properly for an insurgency was not there,”
“There were very few people who actually envisioned,
honestly, before the war, what we are dealing with now after the
regime went down.”
“We have a lot of young folks that paid the
price for that lack of foresight. Am I correct?” Rep. Ike Skelton
(D-MO), the committee’s ranking Democrat, asked.
“Right, yes, sir,” Keane replied.
NOTE: Of course, not everyone had a failure of vision on
this.

Failure to communicate
01/16/2004 10:57 AMA growing segment of the technologically-enabled population is
developing what I would best describe as a "derision" towards those
who are not technically competent, for whatever reason. This sentiment
is immediately apparent in the technical support industry, but I've
seen it from peers who've never been formally introduced to tech
support as well. The common factor in the derision appears to be a
result of differences between the two groups of people involved: those
who feel they have invested much time in competence, and those who
they feel have not. Over time, repeated communication failures left
unaddressed appear to result in a build-up of resentment towards one
(or, more often, both) parties. One of the clearest examples of this
can be found in comics that focus on these conflicts, such as Dilbert,
Userfriendly, or w00t; in each, one can find...

08/27/2004 02:03 PMA new train system in the UK is causing problems with commuters, with
doors not opening at stations because of
problems with satellite.
"Keep a sense of perspective on this,"
claims Southern spokesman. "We run over 1,700 services every day, day
in, day out."
Well, keep a sense of perspective on this, Mr.
Spokesman. Do we send new doctors into the field and tolerate them
when the these new doctors kill one or two patients daily? Give them
time, the doctors will get better.
Do we employ new cooks in
restaurants, and have a few cases of food poisoning daily? Give them
time, the cooks will get better.
Granted, this is no
life-or-death situation here, but hey, we learnt in Computer Science
101 that when you introduce new systems, make sure you have fall-back
plans that will work.
It will be a sad day when it is taken for
granted that new systems will always not work perfectly. It will be a
sad day when it is the norm for the actual users to be the beta
testers.

(via my friend C-Dawg) How To Comply With A Total Failure
How To Comply With A Total Failure
01/23/2004 02:23 PMThere was a conference yesterday all about the CAN-SPAM law, where
speakers took turns either
bashing the
law for being a total failure - or telling people how to comply with
it. Of course, for the most part, the people looking to comply
with it, aren't spammers - but companies that already send out emails
and are suddenly afraid that they're going to get in trouble. The
article also mentions (thankfully!) that just because you comply with
CAN-SPAM it doesn't mean you should spam people. Though, the
reasoning presented was a little suspect. They point out that if
Nordstrom's spammed people, all anti-spam programs would block them
and they would have killed off email as a marketing channel. That's
true. However, a much better point would have been that if they had
gone and spammed people, many people would be incredibly pissed off at
Nordstrom's - and, generally speaking, pissing off everyone you're
trying to market to isn't the greatest technique for building a
sustainable business. In the meantime, the FTC still won't say what
they're doing to enforce CAN SPAM, and my spam count keeps going up.

Many languages have failed honorably -- Eiffel, Dylan, Oberon, Icon,
CLP(R), C+@, Oak, PL/1, Bliss, Algol-68, Pascal -- some more
honorably, some less, but far too many to list, or indeed to count.
Others struggle vainly along, confined forever to subsidized niches --
Erlang, Common LISP, REXX, Objective-C, Delphi, Ada. Only a handful of
languages sustain a vigorous population of programmers using them,
industrially, for their original purpose; we need not list them.
