ICANN emancipate domain owners from
scummy registrars
07/14/2004 03:38 PM

Congrats to the good fighters at ICANN, who have won an important battle today that makes it easier to transfer your domain from one registrar to another without risking losing it in the process (my last two Network Solutions registrations ran out this month and they're now safely ensconsed with the good people at Tucows/DomainDirect, who are my absolute favourite registrars). Ross calls this the Emancipation Proclamation for domain-owners, and he's not far wrong.

* streamlined definition of responsibilities as it relates to the management of the domain name. Under the new policy, only the Administrative Contact or Registrant can authorize a domain name transfer to a new service provider. This was extremely unclear in the old policy and led to a lot of abuse and confusion.
* minimizing Registrar gaming and abuse. Under the old policy, it was quite common for unseemly Registrars to abuse their position and prevent outgoing customers from transferring to a different service provider.
* introduction of arbitration. The new policy includes several policies designed to "fix" problems before they are taken to the courts. The old policy didn't make it easy to fix problems and often relied on the good graces of usually uncooperative policies. The new policies fix this by introducing undo procedures and a dispute resolution process designed to make it fairly easy and relatively inexpensive for Registrants and Registrars to fix problematic transfers.

Anyone want to give me the most basic instruction about how to find things on the !@#$% Mac, OS X? As Dr. Dean would say, "Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!"

Passym sucks


Passym sucks 01/22/2004 03:17 AM

Tonight 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.

How do I turn on the screensaver with a key combination!?! I don't 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.

Frustrated now!

(Sorry for the headline, just wanted to grab your attention there. My Mac Powerbook does NOT suck, it is a wonderful little machine and I grow more attached to it every day. It is by far the best computer I've ever owned. I just need this one thing to make it perfect. Please?)

Monroe County Family Court Judge Marilyn O'Connor ruled March 31 that two parents "should not have yet another child which must be cared for at public expense."
Unconstitutional? Maybe. But not sufficiently so for the NY ACLU to say 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.

Why JSP Sucks So Hard


Why JSP Sucks So Hard 12/19/2002 11:43 PM
once 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

It doesn't recognize when I have put the cursor in a different window. The list goes on. I will be invoking their 30 day satisfaction guaranteed clause. Anyone have a good suggestion for a spell checker to use with Firefox


Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek


Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek 09/20/2004 02:53 AM

My 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.
