Great IIS Site

place saved our necks yesterday (at work, not Gadgetopia). If you
ever find yourself working with an IIS box and run into this little
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.

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
a> 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):

Wow - has anyone else been watching the list of attendees at this
year's Gnomedex? It's like a
"who's who" of the blogging world. Here are just a few of the people
who are planning to be there:
Gnomedex is at the top of my list of favorite conferences, not just
because of the people attending, but because I always learn something
new there. For example, last year's Gnomedex is where I learned about
podcasting, which resulted in me adding podcast downloading and synching to FeedDemon.
And it looks like there will be a lot of RSS aggregator developers
there, too - including Brent
Simmons (NetNewsWire), Greg Reinacker
(NewsGator), Mark Fletcher
(Bloglines), Tim
Catlin (Rojo), J.J.
Allaire (Onfolio) and (of course) myself (FeedDemon).
If you're thinking of attending, you might want to register now - I
wouldn't be surprised if this fills up soon.

Dude! This is too cool!
Tomorrow, I have an audition to do voicework for Twisted Metal:
World Tour!
I've played so much Twisted Metal over the years that if I hear Rob
Zombie in the car, I have to change the station, or I may get a little
. . . aggressive.
This would be like a Trekkie getting to work on TNG, or me getting to
work on Family Guy or Futurama.
Apparently, a
Video
game news site ran a story which quoted the entry, but incorrectly
asserted that I had been "cast" in the game. I sent them feedback and
asked for a correction, but they never ran it, nor did they respond to
my request.
And now, of course, Sony is pissed.
At me.
Because they think I claimed that I was cast in the project (except
that I didn't.)
They've asked me to issue a retraction, which I don't think is
appropriate, since I never made the incorrect claim in the first
place, but I love Sony's games, and I especially love the entire
Twisted Metal series, and since I don't want to hurt them, and I
especially don't want to hurt my chances of ever working with them
(provided it's not already too late) I would like to issue the
following clarification:
I completely respect Sony, and everyone involved with
the production of all the Twisted Metal games. I wrote about my
audition on my blog because I was so excited about the opportunity to
audition for something that I love so much.
I understand the importance of not revealing any confidential or
sensitive information, which is why I didn't talk about the characters
I read for, or discuss any storyline specifics. I've been a
professional actor for over 25 years, and confidentiality is nothing
new to me.
I deeply regret that I was misquoted by psp.ign.com, and I am very
upset that they did not respond to my request to clarify their story.
I hope this hasn't caused any harm to Sony, or anyone involved with
the production of Twisted Metal: World Tour, and I sincerely hope that
I will get an opportunity to work with them in the future.
If nothing else, I can't wait to get my hands on the wheel, and jump
back into Calypso's newest tournament, when the game is
released.

06/17/2005 03:45 PMIf our las
t post on bots in online poker is any indication, a lot of you
might be interested in this LA Times
Article:
The march of the machines will be celebrated in Las Vegas next
month with the world's first money tournament for robots — and the
$100,000 prize is drawing a handful of coders out of anonymity.
The emerging technology does more than raise the stakes for real
people and online casinos. It also raises fundamental questions about
how far computers have come in mimicking and improving on human
behavior, and about how far they can go in the future.
The article goes on to quote some AI folks stating that getting a
computer to master poker will probably drive AI forward far more than
a computer winning chess or backgammon, since it's such a
psychological game, and involves understanding human patterns.
Sadly, this poker tournament will not include my favorite parts of
a local Texas Hold'em tournament. Namely, eating too many chips and
laughing so hard that I nearly fall out of my chair.

tale. Robinson admitted Monday to common-law cheating a rare
crime for turning in what looked to be a thawed-out fish with a
belly full of lead weights at a 2002 Lake County bass-fishing
tournament.
