Banning Emailed Executables

Banning Emailed Executables 11/14/2003 05:14 PM
The latest tactic in stopping emailed virus attacks is to stop letting a mail server pass on emailed executables. MIT is apparently rejecting all such messages. Of course, the virus writers will quickly figure out a social engineering trick around this, and will try to get people to download the executable from somewhere else. Besides, there certainly are cases where it does make sense to email an executable, and suddenly people are going to need to figure out a way around that block.

Ben and Mena come to London...

Ben and Mena come to London... 07/09/2004 03:00 AM

So Ben and Mena and Loic have been in London for meetings and a few of us managed to get together and hang out with them for a bit. We've got Ben drinking warm flavoursome beer, Mena puffing away on cigarettes in pubs and Loic's been trying to run over small children with his push trolley. We even got to roam around Television Centre with them a bit today - Mena making a particularly fetching weather presenter.

Loic took some pictures too:

• Arriving in London
• A really nasty picture of me looking like I have a comb-over
• M ena posing with cigarette
• M ena presenting the weather

Ben and Mena Trott have made up in a big way for their earlier silence on future plans for MovableType. In a series of postings on Six Apart and MovableType, they have announced release of a security update to MT, support for Atom 0.3, and a feature list and time frame for MovableType 3.0.. It all sounds great, and to my surprise it seems that they intend to keep the current pricing structure, e.g. free for non-commercial use. I hereby volunteer to be a Beta tester. I and some others have complained publically and privately to about the lack of news regarding MovableType. I received some kind private email from Mena, but this kind of an announcement demonstrates better than anything that the Trotts listen to user feedback, and that they have not forgotten their first users. It makes me feel a little sheepish about my earlier criticism -- I hope that it was useful, in the way it was intended to be. Certainly the least I can do now is volunteer as a Beta tester and send some of my Christmas pin money their way, to help pay for all the engineering and usability work. To Ben and Mena and the rest of the team at MT/SA, thanks for all the news, and thanks for the hard work that it represents....

Mena Trott steps down as SixApart CEO

Mena Trott steps down as SixApart CEO 07/14/2004 03:38 PM
Mena Trott has stepped down as CEO of SixApart, makers of Movable Type and TypePad, in favour of Barak Berkowitz, one of their Series A investors. Mena's written a heartfelt appreciation of Barak that is an instant classic -- a unique example of a company founder's sincere desire to see her efforts bear fruit, even if she's not's in charge any longer (though she's staying on as President).

At our office, we had phone cables running up and down walls and doorframes and across the floor. This mess was around for months until one day Barak came to work with a T-shirt, some tool-belt type thing and some device to do phone wiring. During the course of the afternoon, Barak installed our phone lines and cleaned up the office.

Incidentally, while he was doing this, Maile, our administrative assistant came in for her first interview with us and saw Barak. A week or two later when we called her in for a second interview I asked that she speak with Barak so that he could interview her as well. After we hired Maile and explained who Barak was she laughed and said "Oh, I thought he was the handyman and that this company really liked to get everyone involved!"

After I wrote the post this morning, Ben and Mena Trott sucker punch the weblogging community, I had second thoughts about it, especially the title, which has a moralistic and judgmental tone that isn't appropriate. If it wasn't for my belief that it is almost always dishonest to rewrite something that you have already published (and that others have linked to), I would take the post down. Instead, I'm writing a new version of it: As I said earlier, Six Apart has the right to charge whatever the market will bear for their labor. So why are people so outraged, and why is it a questionable business decision? Is it just because Movable Type users are a bunch of whiners who want something for nothing, as some believe? I don't think so. Six Apart is reneging on a very public promise, and is treating the people who helped make Movable Type a success very poorly. A little history from a long-time user: Movable Type owes its success first of all to Ben and Mena having done a great job designing, implementing and updating a product with an excellent user interface and superb documentation, and secondly to having it ready at just the right time to catch the blogging wave. But the third factor in Movable Type's success was the army of evangelists and contributors who sold the products to their friends, businesses and community organizations, and who contributed bug reports, bug fixes, responses on the bulletin boards, and great plug-ins. In many ways, Movable Type was treated by the community like a Free Software project, which it wasn't. But the ethos of the MT 2.x license, if you make money off this software you have to pay, if you don't you don't, was very similar to that of MySQL and other open source companies, so people, in spite of warnings, ignored the significant differences between it and free open source. From a business point of view, Movable Type Personal was the seed product, or the loss- leader, that sold Movable Type Commercial. The other part of the history is that when Six Apart got VC funding and shortly thereafter started work on TypePad, it stopped work on its already announced 3.0 product, but didn't say anything publically about it for many months. Meanwhile, the Movable Type comment spam problem started and quickly threatened to grow to unmanageable proportions. As resentment...

Of course Six Apart has the right to charge whatever they want for MovableType, but having repeatedly said that they would provide a free version of MovableType 3.0 for personal use then announcing this crippleware that is MT 3.0 personal is stupid at best, dishonest at worst. Enraging your first customers and your developer community is a strange path to business success. Hopefully they will reconsider after being enveloped in the perfect storm that is brewing....

Geodog signs off on criticism 09/16/2004 03:40 AM
I wasn't planning on ever writing anything about SixApart and MovableType again, but today Kris Krug sent me mail alerting me to a lengthy interview he did with Mena Trott, where she responds to some of the recent criticism of Six Apart and the MT 3.0, and 3.1 releases: MT: One of the biggest things that I want to get through (and that I probably don't a good enough job of getting through) is that it's completely untrue that we're this big corporate company and that we don't care about the users-that it's all about just Ben and Mena and the venture capitalists. It's not so; there are so many smart people here who love what they're doing and love blogging. It dismisses their value when people say the company is just a big corporation that doesn't care about its users. People should understand that when you're insulting the company, you're insulting a lot of people. We're all good people and I wish everyone would take some time to see that. There are so many other targets to focus on; our little company from San Mateo is the least among them. The interview is worth reading in its entirety, if you are interested in the whole MovableType saga and some of the issues around the recent releases. To round out the view, or if you want a different perspective, check out long time MT user Ben Hammersley's opinion, Ben Trott's response, and 6A supporter and plug-in writer Timothy Appnel's comments. I myself have said more than enough about MovableType and SixApart, and gained some unwanted notoriety through a poor choice of weblog post titles. I've also have had my criticisms misrepresented, and Anil Dash has fairly called upon me to examine my criticisms. As a result I reread Anil's post about criticism, and reread for about the 10th time Phil Ringnalda's classic post on the same subject, there is no they, and I've decided not to spend any more time offering what Anil called "unsolicited criticism." We all have more important things to do. I will just note that I as I have said elsewhere thought MovableType was a was a brilliant product when I first encountered it. The documentation, user interface, features and support were superb. I enjoyed the time learning how to hack the templates and add plugins. I appreciated the ethos of the old MT license --...

It was brought to my attention today that Yahoo is copyrighting the RSS feeds for those that are setting up Yahoo 360 accounts. Some are already refusing to use the service because in a sense Yahoo now owns your content.

This may be a oversight on Yahoo's part and I hope it is, I will probaly use their service anyway but probably not the blog portion and give them some time to answer these issues. [Yahoo 360 Copyrights Personal RSS Feeds]

Obviously, this is separate from the free web-based email service from Yahoo, but 2 Gigs is bar far the most storage available to date, worldwide."
