Afer all, Elizabeth has been around. She's lived through Elvis and Sinatra, the Beatles and the Stones, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. She was there when they invented rock 'n' roll, skiffle and swing. Disco? There are rumors of pictures floating around involving her. By Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle

Milne heirs don't own Pooh

Milne heirs don't own Pooh 01/22/2004 03:35 PM
AA Milne's granddaughter has had her bid to recapture the licensing rights to Winnie the Pooh denied by a UK court. The Milne heirs licensed the rights to Pooh to Disney, only to discover that Milne had previously sold them to his literary agent, who is now suing Disney for all they're worth. The UK court ruling is the latest setback on the way to what could be the Disney company's financial ruination for (ironically!) trademark infringement. Link

And projects just go on and on and there's no resolution to them whatsoever and it's quite normal for them to take every working hour of the day and it's just as normal for you to have no real sense of what you've accomplished at the end of the day. I'm in a bit of a funk at the moment - trying to get some sense of what I'm accomplishing and how to accomplish it better - how to make something truly worthwhile and valuable. A lot is going out the window while I try to make better sense of everything. Back shortly...

Jakob Nielsen's remotes are out of control. I bought the Sony universal remote with the most buttons I could find, and yet it still doesn't have enough buttons to properly control a Sony DVD player (it's missing the prev/next chapter buttons). So you don't even need multi-vendor equipment to suffer from problems.

Elizabeth Lawley's Breaking Into the
Boys' Club ETCON talk 02/10/2004 04:10 PM
Here're my running notes from El izabeth Lawley's Breaking Into the Boys' Club: How Diversifying Your Team Can Expand Your Market at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.

RIT is struggling with enrolment, but the enrolment is overwhelmingly male. Why not bring in more women? It's an untapped field and it makes men happier.

People say that women don't want want to be there, why are your forcing them to go? But this is what people said about math 30 years ago.

Today there's gender parity in math classes, but subtle pressures steered them away.

We design products for men -- women get killed by airbags. If you include women in the devleopment of product, you diversify the view. Women aren't the only viewpoint you need to include, but it's half the potential market.

Anil Dash: It's no coincidence that the two popular blogging packages (Blogger and MT) were co-developmed by women (Meg Hourihan and Mena Trott).

Well, I've got the laptop back from repair (for the fourth time) and after two days of getting it in order (It went in with a bad 20G drive with 10.3.4 on it, came back with a 30G drive with 10.2 on it, and my full-system backups turned out to be useless. Important safey tip--rsync is useless for any file with a resource fork, including all OS 9 apps, many (if not all) Carbon apps, and a goodly number of data and system files) I'm finally up and running. It's kind of amazing how many update passes the damned thing...
