Ev Williams must have had a Lobotomy
Ev Williams must have had a Lobotomy
05/26/2004 10:22 AMI was surprised today to read a post from Ev Williams founder of
Blogger who must have had a Lobotomy when his company was purchased by
Google. His continued disregard to support RSS on his site is
apparent. He has the audacity to tell a person who sent him flowers
over his comments on RSS recently to go and use a service that will
convert Atom to RSS. Why would she want to use a outside service when
their all powerful weblog engine should be able to create multiple
flavors for her automatically.
He obviously has lost touch with those that helped him get to the
position he is today or the powers that be at Google have tied his
hands. [Evhead

Chris Nolan says I'm "stingy"
Chris Nolan says I'm "stingy"
03/17/2005 03:22 AM
Chris
Nolan calls me "stingy" with the links. Of course, I don't think I
am. Chris, here's some feedback on how you could make it easier for
people to point to you. (This may prove useful for others.)
1. Make your RSS feed easier to subscribe to. You have the
badges for Yahoo, Bloglines and MSN, but I use Radio. You could have
put up a badge for Radio, that would be super-convenient, or just put
up a white-on-orange XML button. I tried clicking on your Feedburner
icon, but that didn't get me the URL, it offered to save it to my hard
drive. And Feedburner is really
gross, I don't like supporting them. But sheez, if need-be put the
URL of your feed on the page itself. (PS: I was able to figure out
where the feed
is, and have subscribed.)
2. If you call people names and expect them to link to you,
well, don't. Didn't your mother teach you that when you were a kid.
Don't stare and don't call the other kids names.
3. You didn't even point to me when you called me a name. At
least then I would have seen you in my referer log. And I'm like
everyone else, I like flow and I like new readers. I have point
ed to you Chris, many times. How many times have you pointed to
me? You may be surprised that there are people who's sites I helped
build by sending readers to them, who have never pointed back
to me.
4. If you've written something you want to be read by Scripting
News readers, send me an email with a link. That's what I do when I
want to be read by the readers of someone else's blog. I'm polite
about it, I don't come out and ask for the link, I say something like
"Thought you'd find this interesting" or "FYI" and leave it at that.
If I don't get the pointer, no big deal. And I try not to do it too
often, so it's seen as a welcome source of a link to the person I send
it to, rather than some kind of obligation.
5. I don't often point to political blogs, whether they're
written by men or women, black or white, although I do subscribe to
quite a few. So maybe what you experience as "stingy" is just a
difference in focus.

a trip is really not an important event anymore except that the
likelihood that something bad is going to happen to you increases for
a period of time.
Anyway, for those of you who are going to ETech, see you you

06/29/2004 05:12 PM As it appears we’re about to move to a town with DSL
capabilities, it would be good to hear from anyone with strong opinion
on Wanadoo vs Freebox vs Tiscali vs Noos and so on,
haut-débit-wise.
I’d rather not give more money than absolutely necessary to
the bloated France Telecom, and the dinks at Tiscali haven’t
exactly curried a lot of favour, but if the big-pipes 2048k offers
they’re flinging about actually work, then so be it.

The Relief of Leaving a Job
The Relief of Leaving a Job
03/14/2005 05:01 PMI've noticed a funny thing in the last year or so. The vast majority
of the time someone I know leaves a job (or is fired) two trends seem
to recur: A sense of relief: "I'm so glad I'm not at that place
anymore." A complete loss of "spare" time: "I'm busier now than when I
was working full-time!" Maybe everyone should change jobs once or
twice a decade? Maybe people should ask themselves a bit more often
one question:...
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving Las Vegas
01/16/2004 10:57 AMSorry for the absence, folks... I've just limped back into New York
from a lost weekend of fear and loathing in Las Vegas, during which
just about the last thing on my mind was this blog. Before I post
anything real - and I have several rants percolating - I want to thank
you for having maintained what I consider a commendable civility while
I was off contributing to the decline of civilization, despite your
passionately conflicting political beliefs. There's been froth and
pitch and a lot of wit. Best of all, you've been sounding like
grown-ups. (A virtue I've come to appreciate a lot more of late.) I
think the "constructive combat" I wished for in my last post may
actually be arising here. This can be a venue where the vectors of
opinion that presently rend our beloved country can come to appreciate
each other a little better, if only for our sense of humor. I don't
think either side is likely to win many converts. We're all pretty
convinced. But if we maintain our currently reduced level of
name-calling, we might grow back some of the tolerance that has become
all too rare among our fellow citizens and upon which democracy itself
depends. I be back at it myself as soon as I've had a chance to clear
my head. In that service, I'm off to find myself a latte. Since my
place here is in Little Italy, that will be easy enough to do. Might
even pick up a New York Times while I'm at it......

Leaving Pompignan II
07/28/2004 12:51 PM So yeah, we moved.
Everyone says it’s stressful to move, up there with divorce and
sudden unemployment, but christ on a bike it takes a lot out of you.
Never mind the backache and barked knuckles: you’re left without
a soul.
We’re now about an hour and a half east of Pompignan, in the
Rhône Valley, hugged up next to the vaguely shitty
Bagnols-sur-Cèze. Actually strike that – it’s only
shitty if all you see of it is the shopping malls and supermarkets and
their parking lots while you rush around for food and drink between
time spent figuring where to put all the god damn stuff that was
schlepped over from the old place. The town has a heart, we found out
this morning: each Wednesday every street and sidestreet is filled
with market stalls, patrolled by women pushing baby strollers, cops in
funny pillbox hats, and Dutch tourists. Olives, baby: buckets of
them.
The new house is nice. There is interesting plaster moulding. All
doorways are higher than my forehead. The dogs have a yard to destroy.
Here are some
pictures.

03/06/2004 02:03 AMRannva dropped this URL on an older blog entry, so I figured I should
pop it up to a larger readership, since it's just too cool:
Orion's
Arm Worldbuilding Group.
A huge collection of Creative Commons -licensed
alternative world history (and future) that should make the soul of
every hardcore sci-fi fan tickle. I only took a quick glance through
it, but already I started getting ideas...
I think this is another good example on how uncoordinated efforts of
dedicated amateurs can produce things that rival commercial
alternatives. I don't think it replaces them, though, but it
can be a good choice among many. The Internet has really allowed a
whole new kind of collaboration efforts to take place, things that
were rather difficult to do before. Essentially the Internet is now
doing the job of the scientific journals, and it is not surprising
that many of the academic papers are being published on the Internet
first these days...

Are Spammers Leaving The Business?
05/06/2004 02:53 AMIt appears that the combination of technology solutions and legal
crackdowns on spammers may be having some effect on a few of the
weaker willed spammers. USA Today is reporting that
some spammers are finding other lines of work. I'd
be more encouraged if there were a corresponding decrease in the
amount of spam - but most studies seem to show that it's increasing
(and my own personal stats support this). One interesting note is
that some spammers say they plan on becoming "reformed" spammers who
try to come up with better anti-spam solutions. Can you trust a
spammer to help stop spam? I'm not so sure.

following by treating the audience with respect. They combined
sophisticated comedy with slapstick, joy with angst, and never lost
their warm view of humanity.
Even the occasional low points were better than most of the
"entertainment" that pollutes today's heartless, brainless TV
wasteland. The highs were sublime. It's been fun.
