The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics
The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics
08/20/2004 02:25 AMWe've already talked about how the Olympics forced certain radio
stations to
pull
their internet streams because they weren't approved for internet
broadcasts of the Olympics, and now comes the news that
no athletes participating in the games are allowed to talk
about their experiences on websites. Considering the number of
empty seats (and the weak television coverage), giving the games a
more personal feel, letting the athletes talk for themselves (rather
than those sappy profiles on TV) would help people to connect more
with the games. That, though, would involve remembering that the
games are actually about what happens in the events, and not how much
the Olympics can squeeze out of sponsors. Haven't they figured out
yet, that if no one cares about the games, no one will want to sponsor
the Olympics any more? As for those who dare to disobey and actually
talk about their experiences online? The Olympics are threatening to
remove their credentials or possibly "take legal action for any
monetary damages." Monetary
damages? From posting your
thoughts on the games? Seems pretty clear just how focused the
Olympic organizers are on money instead of the athletes and the
contests.

03/08/2004 11:11 PMI just spent an hour on the phone with my father-in-law failing to
help him find his email client. It used to be there, but it vanished
from the tool bar at the bottom. Now we can't get it back. None of the
Finder options seem to actually help us find anything. I know it's
there. I know it's "easy." But it sure ain't intuitive. 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!" [Ten
minutes later] I can't even walk my father-in-law...

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.

Steve Dahl invited his listeners to bring a
disco record to a double-header White Sox game. Between games he was
going to blow them up. What happened was a
full
scale riot that caused the White Sox to forfeit and disco to die.

ARGH, MY MAC SUCKS!
05/12/2004 08:23 AMHow 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?)

spell checking being I could not get Firefox's spell checker to work.
I went googling and thought I found a good program I should have run
it a couple of days. What a piece of
crap. When it is running it seems to want to own the clipboard and
not give it back. 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

Passym sucks
Passym sucks
01/22/2004 03:17 AMTonight 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.
Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
09/20/2004 02:53 AMMy 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.

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

heaven forbid they let me cancel service. Instead I found a page that
explains that I must call Tivo to arrange for that. Nowhere on the

XHTML For Syndication Sucks
XHTML For Syndication Sucks
12/03/2002 11:46 AMI've been reading a lot lately about using XHTML
instead of RSS for syndication of a web site in a news aggregator.
The statement is this:
All that would be needed is standardization of names and classes
for page elements like DIVs and headers. A post/entry title would
always be an H3, with a class set to "title", for example. Permanent
links would always be P tags with their classes set to "permalink".
Simple.
To me, this is not only a terrible idea, but a lazy idea. (But, then
again, I could be speaking hastily.) How hard is it to create an RSS
file? How hard is it to setup MT? Why would I want to give up the
right to name my .title class .blogtitle or .articletitle? I like RSS,
it works well, and is automatically generated for me, as well as for
everybody who has a use for it.
So I guess the whole point of using XHTML for syndication is to get
away from having to type in http://noeljackson.com/index.xml instead
of just pointing your aggregator to the base URL
(http://noeljackson.com). But wait a sec isn't that what the <link
rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
href="http://www.noeljackson.com/index.xml" /> tag is for?
The only plus is not having to maintain multiple files. But the same
problem occurs, you have to mark-up your XHTML according to someone
elses specs, just like with RSS. Except with RSS you can separate your
content from your design, which makes RSS syndication faster than
XHTML and to me it seems like a "cleaner" idea. I don't know about
you, but I definitely don't want to see XHTML become the next
syndication form. Don't hate me for saying that, but I just think
there are better ways to do it. Having pure XML and an XSLT stylsheet
for XHTML and RSS seems like the best way to do it to me. I just wish
XSLT stylesheets could be easier to implement on the client side. Oh
bother, I sure hope RSS sticks around.
