On taxi drivers in Los Angeles...

On taxi drivers in Los Angeles... 02/10/2004 02:46 AM

So I'm being churlish of course - you give a taxi-driver a written-down address on a piece of paper and you would of course expect them not to have heard of the large region of Los Angeles where things like the Sony Pictures Lot are located. I mean you'd obviously expect that right? That would be normal. And then you'd expect them to spend about ten minutes while driving very slowly typing the address into their GPS / map thingy while looking confused. And then of course you'd also expect them not to be able to read an American address and take you to completely the wrong place. And then - of course - you'd expect them to bitch not-so-very-quietly to themselves about how you actually told them to go to the wrong place and that it wasn't their fault, when in fact all you did was give them the bloody address written down on a piece of paper and frantically gesture at it while saying, "This is where I'd like to go please! Thank you very very much!" And then you'd expect to get into a huge row with them in which you say, "For God's sake, you ludicrous man! I gave you the bloody addres on a piece of bloody paper. The address was written down by an American. It's written in exactly the format and style that you'd expect it to be in. It's even in a large bloody font! So why the hell are you shouting at me about giving you the wrong bloody address!"

And then - of course - you'd expect to still pay then $50 for a $20 cab fare because it simply wouldn't occur to you that when a cab driver made an obvious mistake they'd still expect you to pay for the whole journey and not apologise or anything. And of course you'd give them a tip. Because it would be rude not to...

Anyway... Little taxi-bastards aside, Los Angeles is already proving tremendously good fun. At this point, I've done very little though - just spent a little time hanging around with Kerry, had beer and tequila in his office and watched the 100th episode of Angel. Shortly we're going to visit his ex, Sean, and at that point we shall have Tacos. Everything over here remains kind of beautiful and kind of monstrously tacky at the same time, but at least there's lots of sky, which matters to me. The flight was - unsurprisingly - good for sky, and we went over Iceland and Greenland again and just like last year I took far far too many pictures of the ice-flows, mountains and seas.

But the most important thing of all is that I'm not in bloody London! I can already feel my frantic and jellied-up brain shudder a little and let out the tiniest little gasp of relief. Should Kerry actually permit me to sleep at some point during the next few days I should be nicely fresh for ETCon. In the meantime, in my few remaining off-moments, I plot the death of taxi drivers and think about visiting the Apple store...

Yamaha Hybrid Pedal Taxi 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

Next year's World Expo in Tokyo Aichi Prefecture won't allow participants to use regular taxis on the grounds, so Yahama has designed this pedal-powered hackney with an electric motor-assist. And if I'm not mistaken, those look like solar panels on the top—that would be eco-licious.

Bogus-ify your outgoing caller ID

Bogus-ify your outgoing caller ID 08/31/2004 01:06 AM
Xeni Jardin: Ahoy, stalkers, crank yankers, and evil telemarketer scumbags! Beginning this Wednesday, September 1, US-based online company Star38.com will offer paying subscribers a Caller ID falsification service. Make-believe you're the White House! Or 1-800-CALL-ATT! Or, hell, get your '80s on and vamp out in 867-5309! Kevin Poulsen of SecurityFocus tried it out, and evidently the service checked out as providing what it promised. Users complete an online form with phone number, number they want to call, number they want to appear to be calling from; in a couple of seconds, the system rings back to patch them through to their call destination. But, like, in a secret numeric disguise: call recipients see the spoofed number displayed on Caller ID. Link to Register article (via /., which contains some interesting debate from readers over whether or not the system is a truly effective spoofing mechanism)

Roller 1.1 progress and bogus wuffie

Roller 1.1 progress and bogus wuffie 03/31/2005 12:01 AM

We deployed a beta of Roller 1.1 at blogs.sun.com today, featuring the new built-in "Planet Roller" blogs.sun.com aggregator, which includes both BSC hosted and externally hosted Sun bloggers.

On the planet page, we substitute Technorati rankings (via Te chnorati.java) for the normal hot-blogs listing because we don't track hit counts for external blogs.

And, if you're looking at the Technorati rankings and wondering what a bush-league blogger like me is doing up there with MaryMary and Tim Bray? Well, I'm sorry to say, it's all due to bo gus whuffie. At the time, I actually wrote to the Technorati folks to point out to them that my place in the Technorati 100 was undeserved. They have since rejiggered their formulas (sorry to get so technical) and I'm out of the list, but still highly ranked.

It's a great goal, but it remains to be seen how effective they are. Others have tried to do similar things (though, perhaps with different tactics) without much success so far.
