High Tech Phishing

High Tech Phishing 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
The NYT's weekly Circuits examines how "Concertgoers Experience Phish Far Beyond the Stage".

The high-speed T-1 data line that was meant to convey the audio signal from the trailer to a radio transmission tower about 15 miles away still wasn't working. The line had been struck by lightning earlier in the week.
...
Maybe, just maybe, [the chief engineer] could stream the station's signal through his laptop computer's Wi-Fi wireless card over a microwave link to Houlton, Me., about 55 miles away, then over the Internet, through a Web page and over the cable modem at the transmission tower to get the Bunny on the air. Not quite textbook radio engineering, that.

And speaking of gifts

And speaking of gifts 12/19/2004 03:40 PM
So the most significant change in my technology-related life in the last year is the elimination of spam without a white-list technology. I used to use Mailblocks for my main account, but Marc Perkel convinced me to try his own Bayesian spam filter. I'm on record saying such systems could never work. I was wrong. Marc's system is amazing. I get endless email. His system filters the mail into three boxes -- my inbox, a low probability box, and a high probability box. I have never found a mistake in the high probability box, so I no longer look at it. I very rarely find a mistake in the low probability box, so I scan it about once a week (maybe 1% error). And it is almost fun to get an error in my inbox, reminding me that there still is this problem of spam out there. Anyway, I'm giving Marc's spam filter service to my family for Christmas (no, they don't read my blog). And I'd recommend it to anyone else out there looking for a gift (note, I don't have any financial interest in this). As Marc described to me:

I sell it as a service. I can do it several ways. If someone wants a single email address I can give them a something@marxmail.net account. $25/year. Or I can host their email domain for $95/year. Or I can be a front end spam filter where I clean it and pass it on to their existing email server $75/year.

You can reach him for at this MarxMail address.

Micropatron gifts (L@@K L@@K)

Micropatron gifts (L@@K L@@K) 03/14/2005 04:24 PM

Well, we're a week and a half into the three-week "fund drive" (if you're just tuning in, start here) and it's time for a shout-out to the kind people and companies who have contributed gifts for some lucky kottke.org micropatrons (contribute $30+ and you have a chance). If you haven't looked at the list in awhile, you'll notice some additions.

I chose the gift contributors fairly carefully. With one or two exceptions, most of the list is comprised of either friends/acquaintances of mine who are supportive of what I'm doing, companies that have an interest in blogs and blogging, products I've used, or people who have gone or are going out on a limb to do something entreprenurial in their lives (selling photography, software, soap, books, etc...labors of love and commerce). I have a special place in my heart for the latter group because they're in a boat similar to mine and it makes me happy than I can help get the word out about their projects.

Recent additions to the list:

• Copies of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. What's there left to say about Gladwell?
• Gift certificate to Threadless. My near-exclusive supplier of tshirts.
• Signed copies of Spacebloom: A Field Guide to Cosmic Xflora. This looks fantastic...and published in the year 2267?
• Signed first edition hardcover of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom from Cory Doctorow. Cory co-edits BoingBoing and somehow manages to write award-winning novels in the meantime.
• One handmade Italian journal from Eastgate Systems. These look beautiful.
• Gift certificate for handmade jewelry from I Like Beads. I like Alison.
• One VIP Rip gift certificate from Ripshark. Ship 'em your CDs and they'll convert 'em all to MP3.
• One 12" x 18" signed print by Marshall Sokoloff. Love Marshall's photography.
• T-shirts from Diesel Sweeties. Note the sweet use of Silkscreen.
• Gift sets of bath and beauty products from Petal My favorite is the Oatmeal & Honey soap.

Solid gold platinum executive class founder gifts:

• Photo prints from Eliot Shepard. Great photography.
• Print of an explodingdog drawing from Sam Brown.
• Copy of "Thinking of You" by Sam Brown. Various works from explodingdog collected into a book.
• Copies of PulpFiction from Fresh Squeezed Software. Mail.app-like newsreader for OS X.
• Subscriptions to Heather Champ's Print Club 2005. One print a month for a whole year!
• Flickr Pro accounts from Ludicorp. Everyone loves Flickr.
• Basecamp accounts. Web-based project management made easy.
• Copies of NetNewsWire and MarsEdit. Award winning newsreader and blog editor for OS X.
• Copy of TopStyle from Bradbury Software. An XHTML/CSS editor for Windows from the creator of HomeSite.
• Copies of FeedDemon from Bradbury Software. Feature-packed newsreader for Windows.
• Movie-sized jewel cases from Jewelboxing. High quality jewel cases for your DVD projects.
• Pixiesdiscs. Audio CDs of each of the Pixies stops on their recent tour.
• 2006 SXSW Interactive Festival registration. The conference of choice for bloggers everywhere.
• Copy of Studio MX 2004 with Flash Professional from Macromedia. Flash, Freehand, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks for Windows or OS X.
• Signed hardcover copies of Emergence from Steven Johnson. One of my favorites from the past few years.
• A coveted spot in TextDrive's "webhosting for life" offer. They will host your site until you or the company dies.
• Personal license for Movable Type or a lifetime discount on Typepad from Six Apart. Choose from two popular blogging systems.
• Signed copies of The Wisdom of Crowds from James Surowiecki. He writes the excellent financial column for the New Yorker.

Again, here's the detailed list and here's how you become a micropatron for a shot at one of the above.

In a round-up of affordable holiday gifts, Julio Ojeda-Zapata writes in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, “The iTunes cards, in $15 and $25 denominations, are good for the purchase and download of individual tracks. Get the cards at local Apple retail stores and at Target, Best Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA stores, or snag them online at store.apple.com or Amazon.com. The online Apple store offers paper or electronic gift certificates good for iTunes purchases, too.” [Dec 14]

Birthday gifts

Birthday gifts 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
On birthdays I like to give a gift. If I had a new beta of NetNewsWire to post, I would, but it’s not quite there yet. Instead I’ll just tell you a little about it.

After doing an upgrade just about every month last year, we needed to take a little longer to do a bigger upgrade, to add a bunch of new features.

I’m not going to tell you about all the new features today, but I will talk about two of them. (There are many more... this just scratches the surface.)

Browsing in place

This is perhaps the most-requested feature, the ability to view pages directly in NetNewsWire.

Some notes about this feature...

1. NetNewsWire already uses Web Kit (the Safari HTML renderer) to render item descriptions—in the current version, there is extra code to prevent browsing-in-place from working. So the first step in making this work was to remove code, which is not what you’d normally expect when adding a new feature.

2. NetNewsWire, like many newsreaders, is a hybrid of email/Usenet apps and browsers. This feature is at the very intersection of these two types of applications, which makes it quite a user interface challenge.

3. Even though this feature is requested so often, and even though it’s demonstrably useful, a number of NetNewsWire testers were against having it appear at all. They’re in the camp that says, “Each app should do just one thing and do it well.” I’m in the same camp, by the way—the disagreement comes in when you try to define what “just one thing” is. In the case of newsreaders, it’s increasingly obvious that browsing is part of that “one thing” that a newsreader does. But, just so you know, this feature is an option.

Weblog editor overhaul

The new weblog editor is a 99% re-do. The user interface has been completely redesigned, and most of the under-the-hood code has been rewritten.

There are several goals:

1. Make the weblog editor easier to use and, at the same time, more powerful, with a more intuitive and more aesthetic interface.

2. Fix bugs (things like categories not always showing up).

3. Support more of the special features of various weblog systems (things like image uploading, support for Movable Type and TypePad keywords, etc.).

4. Make the text editor itself more powerful.

5. Add some other new features which I’m going to leave as a surprise for now.

Anyway...

There are lots of other new features to talk about...

But for now I’m just going to get back to work.

1. Double what you paid for! Your original 1 year pro account has been doubled to 2 years, and your new expiry date is Nov 22, 2006.

2. More capacity! Now you can upload 2 GB per month.

3. 2 free Pro Accounts to give away to your friends! This won't be activated for a day or two, but when it is, you'll see a note on your home page telling you what to do.

Thanks, Flickr!
