monkey:
The server failed to load application '/blah'. The error was 'The
server process could not be started because the configured identity is
incorrect. Check the user name and password'.
The "Synciwam.vbs" script will actually work as advertised. We
installed some software that hosed all the user accounts on our IIS
box yesterday, and were left scratching our heads as to what the
bloody hell happened.
Apparently, this script can cause problems of its own -- so be careful out there.
My apologies if this is a well-known thing, but I hadn't seen it
prior to yesterday.

Great to meet Ted
Great to meet Ted
04/11/2004 04:13 AMOK - multi-post sequence - all based upon this post......
See my comments at the end........
Here's Ted Leung.......
Back. Well,
I"m finally back in the saddle after a week at OSAF. It was five
months since my last visit, which was probably a little too long. Some
of the things that I talked about this week included several meetings
on Item Clouds, a long clarifying discussion on our Data
Model, and several discussions on Item Sharing. Anthony Baxter dropped by to tell us
about shtoom,
encourage us to think about voice in Chandler and suggest some ways to get more involved with the python
community, so I suppose I'll forgive him for greeting me by telling me
that I looked like ****. It was also a good time to be around to
accelerate the coordination needed for planning the 0.4 release, and
since we've hired a number of new folks, it was good to meet all of
them, and spend some time developing existing relationships.
This trip I also managed to have an active evening social calendar.
I spent one evening with our old family friends David and Katherine Fedor.
It's been entirely too long since I saw them -- hopefully we'll be
able to get the families together sometime soon. I spent another
evening with fellow Brownies David Temkin and Sarah Allen who are both at Laszlo. David and I worked on
Newton together, and it was interesting to hear his reflections on the
project now that a number of years have passed.
I also ended up spending an evening with Marc Canter, his wife Lisa, and
Phil Wolff. Marc is doing a bunch of open source style projects in
addition to his consulting with various companies in the social
software space. A lot of what he's doing right now centers around
FOAF, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results soon. I think that
there could be a nice tie in between the PeopleAggregator and
Chandler's "sharing circles". One thing that Marc's
interested in is being able to build another user interface on top of
Chandler functionality. If we do a good job at MVC in CPIA, then this
shouldn't be that much labor. Something that struck me as I talked
with Marc was the long term view that he's taking of the stuff that
he's working on. He's thinking multiple years worth of effort, a point
of view that's been in short supply / disfavor since the dot com boom
and "internet time".
Phil Wolff has gotten a fair
amount of reading in our house -- he's hit both my and Julie's
aggregator. In fact, when I told Julie I was meeting Phil too, she
exclaimed "the thousand beers guy". You never know what will stick...
Phil's been doing a lot of work with the Kerry campaign, and thinking
about the issues related to taking the software artifacts created by
campaigns and making sure that they have a life so that succeeding
elections/campaigns could make use of them. He also asked me some
interesting questions about Chandler. How will Chandler compete with a
"Google in a box" appliance that includes search, e-mail, etc? How
will Chandler do calendar support for events like Muslim prayers which
occur a sunrise and sunset in your current location? This requires
knowing where you are in the world so that you can compute when
sunrise and sunset are. Food for thought, indeed. Phil had two thought
provoking posts earlier that day, one on the 'Perfect' Corporate
Weblogging 'Elevator Pitch' Competition (which he is judging) and
another on social network
software.
Lisa, Marc, and Phil got me the last night I was in town, and by
then I was slightly draggy (I didn't say that Anthony was wrong), so I
hope that I was suitably interesting company. [Ted Leung on the air]
It was great to meet Ted Leung - someone who I have been reading
and who's working at one of my favorite entities - OSAF. When
Mitch and Andy were on their original road show - showing off version
.1 of Chandler - they promised me that we'd be able to build on the
APIs and data structures - utilizing what's known as an 'object
store'.
Dave Winer had built an object store - it was called the XML storage system
- so I knew that the world needed an open source of of those.
When I heard Chandler had one - I got excited!
So we all have vested interests in seeing the OSAF succeed.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people all come up with the
same conclusions on FOAF, sharing and multiple accounts being
aggregated together. This meme is taking off.

Where Do Your Great Ideas Come from?
Where Do Your Great Ideas Come from?
02/05/2005 09:32 PM
Some more 'fun with numbers'
today. A while ago I mentioned IdeaChampions' When & Where
Do You Get Your Best Ideas? survey. If you haven't taken the
survey already, you can still do
so.
But before you click to post your answers, write them down. Then you
can use this article to create your Personal Creativity Profile, as
I've done above. The Profile will tell you:
- When and where you get your best ideas
- How your
sources of great ideas differ from others, and why
- How you can
make more time and space for creative activities
The chart above compares my scores on the 36 questions with the
normalized* answers of other respondents. If you want to create your
own chart like this, using Excel or a similar spreadsheet software,
here's how to do it:
- From the IdeaChampions' survey page, copy the 36
questions, and paste them to the first column of your spreadsheet
using Paste SpecialText.
Copy your scores into the next column. Then copy the normalized
average
scores from the bottom of this post into the third column, using Paste SpecialText.
Highlight the entire table you've created and sort it in ascending
order by your scores. Then add a row at the top of the chart and type
in column headings.
- Then highlight the entire table you've created and
Insert a bar chart, which
should look something like the chart above.
Interpreting your
Profile:
In my case, brainstorming, creative thinking techniques, talking with
customers, taking time just upon waking, taking breaks, and listening
to music are my six 'sure-fire' ways to generate creativity, so I
should learn to draw on one or more of them whenever creative thinking
is needed. I should keep a pencil and paper beside the bed for
waking-hour inspirations. And since I take a lot of breaks and walk
around, I should get wireless headphones so my music goes with me. I
should study creative
thinking techniques so that they become second nature. And I
should spend more time talking with, and listening to, current and potential customers.
What's more, the last three of these six creativity sources are
unusual
to me, and not effective for most others, so if I'm in a group
creativity setting I should be cautious about suggesting others take
breaks or listen to music. I should be sensitive to the fact that
happiness is an essential precondition to creativity for most people,
though it isn't for me, and also that most others will be more
creative
if they take a walk, read books, talk with friends, or spend time
thinking just before bed, even though those techniques don't work
particularly well for me.
There are some other interesting differences between my creative
places
and times, and those of most others. I find flying and commuting very
stimulating -- perhaps it's the movement,
and the fact that my commutes are off-rush-hour and hence fast-paced
and relaxing. I find television stimulates my thinking more than it
does for most others, but that's probably because of what
I watch -- documentaries, mysteries, in-depth investigative reports
and
foreign programming. And the least effective three sources for me --
internet surfing, vacationing and exercising, are all fairly intense,
focused activities for me, that don't leave many 'cycles of
brainpower'
for creative thinking, though I can appreciate that others who find
these activities more recreational could also find them more
creatively
stimulating.
Next I asked myself how I could find more time and space for the
creative activities that work best for me. To answer this I added
another column to the spreadsheet, and entered for each of the 36
activities the amount of time
each week I currently spent on each. I again used a scale of 1-5 for
this:
- Activities that consume >20 hours of time a week --
5
- Activities that consume 15-20 hours a week --
4
- Activities that consume 10-15 hours a week --
3
- Activities that consume 5-10 hours a week --
2
- Activities that consume <5 hours a week -- 1
Now I added one more column that showed, for each of the 36
activities, my rating (1-5), divided
by
the amount of time I spend at it each week (1-5, using the scale
above). If you do this and re-sort the 36 activities in ascending
order
of this last 'Personal Score/Time Spent' column, the resulting chart
looks like this:
What this second chart reveals is what, ideally speaking, you should
try to spend more time doing (the activities at the top of the chart,
which you've rated as a source of great ideas, but which you spend
relatively little time doing) and what you should try to spend less
time doing (the activities at the bottom of the chart). In my case, I
should 'get out more' -- spend more time brainstorming with others and
just moving around, and less time in front of the computer. I also
need
to use creative thinking techniques more often. My 'catch-all' #36
'other source' answer was spending time in the hot tub, which I
suppose
must somehow work for me the way showers work for others. What is it
about being in the water that gets us thinking creatively? No wonder
dolphins are such imaginative creatures! Though to my surprise,
others'
top 'write-in' answer for question #36 was 'on the toilet', so perhaps
we should see whether porcelain has some mysterious power to spark
ideation.
While others spend their time in airport lounges, airplanes and
traffic
either bored or fuming, I find these activities 'transport' me and get
me thinking very creatively. Because it's dangerous to write while
driving, I've learned to use mnemonic
devices
to capture and remember ideas that occur to me until I can safely
write
them down (works in the shower, too). If I could find a dictating
machine that worked with my voice-recognition software I'd probably
use
it instead -- maybe even write a whole paper or blog post simply
thinking out loud while I drive. It's quite possible, though, that
since much of my travel is early-morning, it's actually that time of
day that's responsible for the flurry of ideas, rather than the
movement. Though since I'm a night-owl, usually miserable in the
morning, I'm not sure that my body clock, or the ones around me, could
handle it if I tried early-to-bed, early-to-rise. It hurts just
thinking about it.
What works for you, and why? Are there times and places and techniques
that aren't on this list at all that seem to surface great ideas for
you? In what ways does your ideal environment for idea generation
differ from mine, and from the other survey respondents'? And are
there
ways you could be spending your time a little differently to allow
your
right brain to get some more exercise?
* How I normalized the 'average' answers to the survey:
First of all, I double-counted the '5' scores, the proportion of
people
who found each time or place a 'sure-fire' source of great ideas,
because I think that's just as important as 'average' score. Then,
because when you average scores you get most of them clustered around
the 3 average, I 'stretched' the results so that the top-scoring
source
(brainstorming) received a normalized score of 5 and the
lowest-scoring
source (being sad or depressed) received a normalized score of 2.
Finally, I rounded the results to the nearest 0.5. The results then
more closely map, in standard deviation and distribution of results,
an
individual's scoring.
Here are the normalized scores in order for the 36 questions (for
copying and pasting into your own spreadsheet):

Whose Website Is It, Anyway?
Whose Website Is It, Anyway?
09/07/2004 12:34 PMGlitzy graphics showcasing this year's latest technological
developments, surveys and questionnaires supported by product
literature designed to help prospects select the models that best fit
their needs or technical support FAQs and repair diagrams that
facilitate self-repair and minimize the number of request for
telephone and onsite technical service: which of these services is the
focus of the company's website? Maybe, all three?
Earlier this year, Jupiter Research, a division of Jupitermedia
Corporation, reported, "Often there is neither an incentive for
[business] units to work together to accommodate each other's
objectives, nor a governance mechanism to maximize the overall value
of the Web site as a corporate asset." "The Web [site] represents a
confluence among different part so the company," Says David Schatsky,
Jupiter Research senior vice president and the author of the
report.
One of my graduate business students is a senior at a well-known
international travel services company. He is responsible for the
proper handling of millions of dollars in corporate travel
arrangements each year. During an e-business management class this
year he described the company's plan to incorporate a marketing effort
designed to develop personal travel management services into the same
website that currently serves only corporate clients. The chance for
success in the new effort seems slight, at best, and the opportunity
for incurring damage to the company's primary niche is amply clear.
So, why would a team of experienced marketers make such an obvious
blunder?
The answer is more obvious than you may imagine.
When departments compete for clients' attention, the overall
corporate message can become muddled. Multiple, sometimes competing,
messages are presented via single website that confuses the clients
and creates an improper public image for the organization. Worse,
clients may leave (both the website and corporate account) and
encourage others to do the same.
Companies must be clear, from the outset, about the goal and
expected outcome of the website. It is vital that clarity and buy-in
from all stakeholders is created at each of the three major phases of
website development: conception, design, and rollout. Senior
leadership must participate in or delegate full authority to
representatives who participate in the concept development and
formative design processes. Cross-departmental coordination, focusing
on fundamental needs and expectations, is most likely to ensure a
final website product that, rather than seeming a Rube Goldberg
invention, is actually a clearly-presented and crisp display of
information that becomes a properly functioning business tool and
creates significant return on investment.

09/21/2004 03:01 AMThere once was a boy who for no apparent reason went around knifing
his classmates. This boy's parents took him to nearly every mental
health professional with no success... until one day a famous
hypnotist came to town. There was a long line to speak to him, and as
they waited medical doctors hovered around them trying to convince
them it was all quackery. But the parents, figuring they had nothing
to lose, continued standing in line with their disturbed son. At long
last they told the doctor about their son's twisted history, and after
a long pause the doctor looked the boy square in the eye and said,
"My, won't you be surprised when you never do anything like this
again."
