I am told

I am told 06/27/2004 11:17 AM

I should write something on this site every once in awhile.

Okay, what’s been going on. I started a webhosting company, turned Textpattern formally open-source, incorporated on two continents, wrote business plans in two languages, talked to more bank managers than reasonably possible, tried and failed to buy the last remaining affordable dream house in the Languedoc, got very angry, was reminded fully and sharply why I’m no longer a graphic designer, got sternly talked-to by the far-more-patient and impossibly lovely Herself during some of the more flaily moments, found (we think) a pretty good alternative house, and turned 38.

Hell of a ride, this life.

Oh, somewhere in the middle of all that the thumbnail link to the Daily Oliver dropped off the front page, even though daily pictures were still being put up. You can go catch up if you like.

Other gang members were prosecuted before this for terrorism, other groups who maybe should have haven't - so what's the new law for? Is this the first of many prosecutions under new laws wh ich some said would do one thing but are actually doing something else?

Getting Through College, Thanks To
Plagiarism 11/13/2003 05:25 AM
There have been plenty of stories about college kids cheating by buying or just cutting and pasting complete assignments for their classes, but this BBC piece includes a quote from someone claiming that she basically did that on every paper she's turned in throughout college, and is now using the same cut-and-paste method to finish up her dissertation. Clearly, that's an outlier example, but it does show how far people will go. The article includes lots of quotes from people who complain about the dumbing down of our education system that has allowed this to happen, but I'm not sure that's the case. Kids have always cheated in school. This just makes the process easier. Of course, what they don't mention is that the real punishment is already being handed out to these kids. They're attending (and in many cases paying quite a bit) four years of college and not learning a damn thing, because all they're doing is cutting and pasting.

College To Do Away With Fair Use

College To Do Away With Fair Use 12/17/2003 09:34 PM
The latest silliness from our college campuses is this bit of news from Ithaca College, where they're planning to tell professors that fair use no longer exists when it comes to course packs (the photocopied excerpts from various sources that many professors use to give students short excerpts from a variety of sources). While most such course packs do involve some approved material, much of it is often used on a fair-use basis - but university administrators are afraid of getting sued. Thus, they're going to tell professors that they need to license every last bit of content they use. This means that (a) professors will ditch a lot of materials, because they don't have time to get approval from everyone or because the publisher wants too much money to include a single paragraph and (b) the course packs will be much more expensive with less useful stuff for students. In some cases, professors will simply put the materials on library loan, where students will go and photocopy it anyway - basically adding an "annoyance" factor to the process. It's a great lesson we're teaching the students of today when they don't get to read certain materials because it's just too damn expensive.

A few months ago, I found myself in a drawn out stupid argument about MySQL with a self-proclaimed database expert. Along the way, I mentioned that Sabre was using MySQL in a pretty serious way. Not only did he tell me how completely wrong I was (because he knew people there and must be right), he refused to entertain the possibility of a company with such mission-critical systems using little old MySQL. Well, Mr. Database Jackass, I've got news for...

I hate to say I told you so - #324

I hate to say I told you so - #324 07/20/2004 07:45 PM

Throughout the 90's I got a rep of a screaming maniac - insisting that HTML sucked, dial-up sucked and that what they were calling broadband - was in fact mid-band.

I knew that without at least 5Mbps to the home - we'd never achieve the oft sought after broadband always on revolution.

So now Verizon is offering 5Mbps for $35 - 15Mbps for $45 and well - we plan on offering 30Mbps - but we haven't priced it yet.

So my reaction is a) it won't work - it'll bottleneck at the head-end, b) what's to download? Nobody can feed them data fast enough - but I end with an optimistic c) 'bout fucking time!

I was starting to feel old - but maybe we WILL see true broadband before I hit 50.

Oh yah - god bless Verizon. Is it true that it's Cory Doctorow in those commercials? "Can you hear me now?"

A huge number of internships are illegal. So claims a labor lawyer in this USA Today story. Are unpaid internships a form of white collar exploitation we should crack down on? Just how much of the workforce is unpaid, or working on tiny stipends? And is it like this in other Western countries?
