Corporations are more and more looking to running their employee campaign via the Internet in order to reduce their costs. Many are reluctant to supply the fundraiser operating the electronic pledging web site with the names and e-mail addresses of their employees, let alone salary information needed to compute pledges as a percentage of salary.

Best Way To IM In The Workplace?

Best Way To IM In The Workplace? 09/02/2004 01:49 PM
The latest study on instant messaging in the workplace holds very few surprises. As expected, instant messaging is growing in the workplace, and it's being used for both personal and work reasons. The way the report is worded, it's a little strange, but it sounds as though some people focus on IM for work, and others for personal communications, but not many do both. As expected, some find IM helpful towards productivity, while others aren't so enthusiastic about it. It's basically described as a "mixed blessing," since it can make important communications more efficient, but can also be distracting and may lead to more "gossip." What struck me, in reading this, is that for all the talk we have about how to make email more productive, there hasn't been that much on the instant messaging side. One of the things, personally, that I've noticed is that I needed to learn to not respond to instant messages so quickly and let that distract me from whatever I was working on. Also, I'm curious about how people handle IM list management. Back before IM, people would lose touch with certain friends or old colleagues over time, which may have actually been a good thing. But, with your IM buddy list, they're there forever. More people seem to be shifting their IM names when they change jobs, or even setting up specific "@work" IM addresses that can be changed -- but that makes it more difficult to manage (and how do you deal with people who are both personal and work connections?). It seems that, like with email, it's about time that there were more commonly established best practices in making IM productive in the workplace -- and doing so in a way that doesn't mean completely starting over from what you already have.

Damn you Japanese politicians!

Damn you Japanese politicians! 05/08/2004 07:53 AM

I rarely say "fuck" on my blog, but "Fuck you Japanese politicians!" (Lucky the FCC doesn't control my blog... yet.) I've paid about 1/2 of all of my life earnings in tax to the Japanese government and have paid my premiums to the national pension system even though studies that I worked on at the Association of Corporate Executives showed that I would most likely not benefit from these pensions. Now it turns out many Japanese politicians don't pay their national pension premiums. Actually, a third of the cabinet members haven't paid their pension premiums. The "Vice President" of Japan, Yasuo Fukuda just resigned for not paying his premiums. This is all amid a move by the government to increase premiums and lower pay-outs. The study we did showed that unless you were about retirement age today, would would most likely receive "0" from the pension system.

What's worse is that they use strong arm tactics like using the agricultural union (which hires retired bureaucrats and takes a commission) and other semi-public organizations to collect premiums from average citizens.

This is totally disgusting and I really wonder why I live and pay taxes in such a corrupt country.

Sorry I don't have links and references. This is a spur of the moment emotional post based on newspapers and radio that I skimmed today while I was trying to relax.

Hey, isn't John Kerry a pro-choice Catholic? This couldn't have anything to do with him could it?
Isn't a divisive move like this more likely to result in more people leaving the "faith"?

State Politicians Don't Understand P2P
Either 08/05/2004 03:50 AM
What is it with the difficulty politicians seem to have understanding what a P2P file sharing network is, and why none of the networks have control over the content being shared? The latest is that a group of 40 states have teamed up to write a threatening letter to file sharing companies accusing them of all sorts of bad things. In whose name are they doing this? Even though the courts have recognized file sharing networks for what they are, it appears that the state attorneys general seem to believe that they can ignore what the law says when the entertainment industry starts telling them how evil file sharing networks are. Update: Ernest Miller asks, "why shouldn't the state attorneys general condemn email and FTP as well? An awful lot of child porn is shared via email. Shouldn't email providers be doing more to stop it?"

Amazon shoppers now have something new they can spend their money on -- the presidential candidates of their choice. The new feature, which allows visitors to make contributions of up to $200 to their favorite candidate, is an effort "to take the friction out of grassroots contributions to presidential candidates," according to the Amazon Web
site. For that reason it is not endorsing any candidates and is charging each campaign its usual processing fees, which will be donated to a nonprofit, non-partisan group. "For us, we think this is an interesting but natural extension of what we do every day. Our goal here was to make it as easy for people to make contributions to presidential campaigns as it is to buy the latest Harry Potter book," says an Amazon spokesman. [Reuters 24 Jan 2004]

Foreigners are a bunch of sneaky thieves. As Ishihara has cracked down on them, they've all flowed into Kanagawa.

If anyone has any grand unified theories as to why Japanese politicians often say such dumbass things in public, I'd love to hear.

Because they can get away with it and the media doesn't call them on it.

It's been a week of light blogging because of my 2-day trip to Portugal and then a set of, um, computing setbacks that involved technical support groups on several continents and the reinstalling of anti-virus software. Then, for the past couple of days, I've been working on two presentations I'm giving on Monday in DC. Both are new and both are important to me. In the morning, I'm keynoting a conference of research librarians and am doing a mainly-new presentation about how we managed to "informationalize" the world so that it consists of thin gruel, and how it is...

Support our troops, question our
politicians 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
I have read various calls today for people to support our troops by stopping demonstrating, stopping questioning our (supposed) leaders, and stopping being against the war. What ridiculous nonsense. While I agree that it would be despicable to repeat the folly of some Vietnam era protesters who took out their anger about the United States government's Vietnam folly on the soldiers who fought it, the best way to support our troops is to question our leaders. Our troops are the sons and daughters of America, and it is our government that is wagering their lives. Our Congress effectively abdicated its constitutional responsibilities last fall. It would be unpatriotic of us not to question what the administration is doing with our children's lives, and not to protest if we think that our children's lives are being misspent. Backing us up is the authority of Dubya's favorite president, who said:

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Theodore Roosevelt

Or there is that other famous dissident, Abraham Lincoln, who protested that the Mexican-American war was an unnecessary and unconstitutional war of conquest, designed to add more slave states to the union. He was right, of course. It was a direct precursor to our Civil War. The United States has a long and glorious history of dissent to war. Let's support our troops and our country by ensuring that it continues.
