119 students who failed courses get group email: 119 kids are failing out of the University of Kansas, and now they all know each other.

The students were notified earlier this week that they were in jeopardy of having their financial aid revoked. The e-mail sent Monday by the Office of Student Financial Aid asked for additional information to determine if they were still eligible for aid.

The e-mail address list included the names of all 119 students, with the result that everyone on it could see the names of all the others.

Panel on bl0gs for PR folks

Panel on bl0gs for PR folks 06/05/2005 11:10 PM
The conference to which my tiny, content-free post referred was a get-together of Big Co marketing communication VPs. I was on a panel on blogging with Rebecca Blood, Alan Nelson of CommandPost (who chaired it), and John Hinderaker of Powerline. This panel was the first time in the group's history that they've allowed any proceedings to be on the record. The discussion went well. Rebecca explained what blogs are and aren't. John gave examples — e.g., Rathergate — of how blogs have beat the mainstream media at their own game. I tried to preempt some of the obvious marketers' misunderstandings...

Why the Safari folks are cool

Why the Safari folks are cool 06/17/2005 04:30 PM
I think my favorite folks at Apple are the people who work on WebKit and on Safari.

I got the chance to talk to Jens Alfke and Jessica Kahn a couple days ago: I told them both how Safari in Tiger has been nothing less than a gift. It does three super-important things:

1. It educates people about RSS.

2. It makes it amazingly easy to subscribe to feeds.

3. It allows you to choose a newsreader other than Safari as your default.

I don’t know the inner details of how the decision to support other newsreaders was made, but the people I talked to convinced those who needed convincing that it was the Right Thing to Do.

To them I say: thank you!



P.S. Because I’m sentimental, at the weblogger dinner I suggested to Buzz that we get a photograph of aggregator developers. Somewhere there’s a photograph of me, Jens Alfke, and David Watanabe. I don’t know it it’s been posted yet (since I can barely get online here) but I’ll link to it when it goes up or when I see it.

They just did a segment with me on blogging, and the impact it is having on the political conversation. Unfortunately, the speeches were going on at the same time, so I'm not sure how good the sound quality was, and we had to stop several times, but overall the interview went well. It should be on tomorrow night's NewsHour, which is on at 3PM PST if you're out on the west coast. Of course, this is TV, so who knows if it'll actually air, but I'm hoping it can get in. Either way, it was fun to meet the folks and do the interview. Spreading the gospel, spreading the gospel.

And that's Not All Folks: Welcome to KDE
Enhanced by Feedster

And that's Not All Folks: Welcome to KDE
Enhanced by Feedster 03/13/2003 02:16 PM

And that's Not All Folks: Welcome to KDE Enhanced by Feedster

And wait !  There's more.  And this one is just plain damn wonderful.  If you are a user of KDE, Feedster has now been integrated into KDE.  For right now you have to install it yourself but it has already been checked into the CVS tree for the 3.2 release.  Let me quote from the documentation:

Not really eye-candy, but I had to place this somewhere. I have commited a .desktop file for Konqueror's shortcuts to CVS HEAD. If you can't wait for KDE 3.2, you can download the .desktop file here. [_Go_]

Here's how it works:

1. In a url bar you can now type something like this: rss:Canadian or blog:Canadian or feedster:Canadian 
2. The search is automagically sent to Feedster and you get the results!

Feedster + KDE -- Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together !

What is KDE ?

In case you're not a part of the Open Source community, you may wonder "What's he saying?"  Or "What's KDE?" Or the ever popular "Is he on crack?".  To quote from the KDE.org site:

KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system. [_Go_]

KDE runs on top of Linux / Unix and provides the windows, menus, overall environment, the look and feel, etc.  Please note that is a simplified explanation that doesn't take into account lots of things.  I know its not 100% accurate. 

Depending on how you measure it, KDE is the #1 or #2 windowing environment for Linux.  Now do you see why I'm excited?

How this Happened

Now I'd love to tell you this was my idea.  It wasn't.  I'd also love to tell you that this was part of our strategy.  Nope.  Like so many *good* things, it was actually kind of random.  Yesterday out of the blue, I got an IM from a fellow blogger, the.amazing.us / Rob Kaper, who also works on KDE.  He came up with idea, implemented the idea and the committed it to the CVS repository for KDE 3.2 (due year end).  Wow!  And to think, we released Feedster last Thursday, got Slashdotted on Sunday and changed the name on Tuesday.  And now its already embedded in KDE ?

The Thank Yous

Thank you to everyone who pitched in:

• Rob Kaper who did all the work and really deserves all the credit (Netherlands)
• Ditesh who tested it (Malaysia)
• Sooz who pointed out that not everyone knows what KDE is
• A few folks who I don't have urls for (unfortunately but particular thanks to Macandyed, Jasonlotito and Traumwind)

Old Folks Get A Mobile Phone (Finally)

Old Folks Get A Mobile Phone (Finally) 07/28/2004 04:53 PM
A month ago, I had written a piece for TheFeature, noting that mobile phone designers were pretty much ignoring the older generation, and designing phones that were difficult for many senior citizens to use. While there have been a few random attempts (such as a phone that only used voice recognition and had no buttons) there had been no real effort to design phones for folks whose eyesight might not be as good as it once was. Of course, with baby boomers approaching retirement age, that's likely to change soon. Now, it looks like LG has got a headstart on the space, coming out with a mobile phone designed for the elderly. It's got big buttons and is fantastically ugly, but it's a start.

Internet Savvy Folks Fall For Phisher
Scams

Internet Savvy Folks Fall For Phisher
Scams 11/05/2003 06:04 PM
It's almost impossible these days not to see a story or two a day about the latest "phisher" scam, where a con artist sends an email looking as though it's from a trusted company such as eBay or a well known bank, and asking people to fill out a form that includes basically every little bit of information anyone would need to know to access all of their bank accounts and credit cards. You might be wondering who falls for this sort of thing, and the answer is that an awful lot of people do - and many claim to be internet savvy professionals. In many cases, they get the email and they fill out the form in a rush, and then realize it as soon as they hit the submit button. Scammers claim (and you have to take any such claims with a grain of salt) that such phisher emails yield about a 10% hit rate - which is pretty damn high. The folks who were conned often couldn't even remember filling out the form. Some, who track their finances online caught fraudulent transactions quickly, but had no idea how the info got out. Next thing someone needs to do is try to tie up a 419 Nigerian scam with a phisher scam and create ultimate email scam.

Take a vacation from your car

Take a vacation from your car 08/02/2004 03:20 PM
Having just returned to Paradise for a little visit, I am reminded just how cool this little place is (not that I needed much reminding *whimper*), and am looking for touristy things to do here without a car. While I was on my way up on the Pacific Surfliner train, a fellow rider told me about Santa Barbara Car Free. Awesome! Also props to CalTrans' alliance with Amtrak in California. The trains and service and overall quality of the passenger rail system is quite a bit different from what I've experienced thus far of the stuff handled by Amtrak alone.
