Blogroll

Blogroll 12/19/2004 03:06 PM

Does anyone use my blogroll? People seem to like the random faces, but I have a feeling people don't look at the blogroll. I admit it's rather hidden, but it's become unwieldy.

Pruning Blogroll

Pruning Blogroll 01/07/2004 04:40 PM

I am cleaning up my blogroll just now, self-discovering blog feeds one by one.  Esther Dyson and Halley Suitt's blogs at Blogspot are apparently gone so I have removed them for now.  This feels too much like housecleaning.  Urgh.

Just finished N.  Choo-choo!  Are we there yet?  Choo-choo!  This is how a highly paid, amazingly creative, and supposedly well-respected consultant/visionary/guru spends the last day of a year.  My wife and I are not going anywhere tonight which leaves us wondering what we are going to eat for dinner.  I don't really care what I eat -- I hardly eat much of anything -- but my wife defines her life by what she ate and where she went.  So I care by proxy.

Kinja announcements 04/09/2004 04:06 PM

After 15 months in the making, I'm pleased to announce that Kinja, a new weblog reading tool, has launched today. We worked really hard on it and hope you'll check it out. On a personal note, I'm spending another month at Kinja and will be leaving at the end of April. I'm sure I'll have more to say about that in the future, but for now, check out Kinja and some assorted media coverage:

Kinja launches

Kinja launches 04/09/2004 04:11 PM
Kinja, the Web app for reading weblogs that Meg and Nick have been working on for the past year +, has launched as a beta. It's still a bit rough around the edges (especially design-wise) and a little schizophrenic as to who/what it's targetted at, but it's neat to play around with. I like that it reads like a weblog...which is not the case with RSS readers...something I never liked... (with comments)

Imageless RSS Feed Icon for Blogroll

Imageless RSS Feed Icon for Blogroll 01/09/2004 09:56 PM

Orange icon typically used for RSS feeds is nice but I had two problems with it:

First, it was too distracting when there are many of them together (i.e. blogroll).  Second, IE 6 sometimes fail to load such small images used many times in a single page.

Following is a modified version of a CSS-based solution suggested by Richard Soderberg which you can find in the comment section of my IE6 SP1 Small Image Loading Bug post.  This version has following changes:

• Size was reduced.
• Colors were toned down and inversed to reduce distraction.
• Original look is restored when mouse is hovering over it.

CSS fragment follows:

.feedIconStyle {
 font-family: arial, helvetica;
 font-size: 8px;
 font-weight: bold;
 text-decoration: none;
 border: 1px solid;
 padding: 0px 2px 0px 2px;
 margin: 0px;
 vertical-align: middle;
}

.feedIconStyle, .feedIconStyle:link, .feedIconStyle:visited, .feedIconStyle:active {
 color: #FF9966;
 background-color: white;
 border-color: #FF9966;
}

.feedIconStyle:hover {
 color: white;
 background-color: #FF6600;
 border-color: #FFC8A4 #7D3302 #3F1A01 #FF9A57;
}

Usage Examples:

<a href=“blah“ class=“feedIconStyle“>XML</a>

<a href=“blah“ class=“feedIconStyle“>RSS 2.0</a>

Visit my blog to see how they look.  I use the logo in my blogroll.

We're All Geeks Now

We're All Geeks Now 07/22/2004 03:13 PM
We've complained before about how the tech industry is way too focused on "jargon," but it appears that now that tech is going so mainstream, lots of people are picking up the jargon, even if they don't realize it. New Media Zero has an amusing anecdote about a focus group on a new digital video recorder advertising effort where there was a woman in the "over 70" age group who admitted she wasn't technically literate at all. However, when the ad system was being described to her, she apparently stated: "So it's a bit like the difference between streaming and downloading content over a broadband connection." Apparently, the woman who claimed she wasn't technically literate at all had picked up more than she realized -- she just assumed that everyone else knew more about tech than she did, because they always seemed to before. In other words, perhaps technolog y is making us all into geeks these days. The writer also points to the number of people (in the UK, where this is more common than the US) who use more advanced features on their mobile phones (and know all the terminology associated with it), saying that ten years ago, most of those people would insist they would never use such features. This doesn't mean that tech lingo is still good for marketing purposes, but it does suggest learning the lingo isn't as big a hurdle as some make it out to be.

Geeks and the Sun

Heard today at work, as I arrived to a meeting late: "Hey, you got some sun this weekend." "I get sun every weekend." It was only later that I realized how un-computer-geeky I've been this summer. I've spent every weekend I can outside and away from the computer. And, if the day is going well, I'm often 3,000 - 9,000 feet in the air. Sometimes more. It's good to have a hobby that gets me out of the house. As...

PCs for non-geeks

PCs for non-geeks 10/29/2003 01:14 AM

A couple of interesting links about the security problems faced by the vast majority of the home PC using public, who don't know how to install security updates (or even what they are) and don't have a corporate IT department to bail them out when they run in to problems. Joe Average User Is In Trouble is a column by a security expert bemoaning the scale of the problem. Do we all need a personal system administrator? is a call for advice from Steve Garrity for tips on minimising the support calls he gets from his parents, and includes an excellent response from Matt Haughey in the comments.

I've been called to a less-geeky friend's PC before to find it so infested with malware that it had slowed to a crawl. Most security breaches seem to come from Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, so Matt's advice to replace them with Firebird and Thunderbird seems like a particularly good idea. Placing PCs behind a hardware router is a great idea as well as it at least prevents nasty traffic from the internet from probing the computer - although as Adam Kalsey points out such a set up won't prevent malicious software that has already snuck its way on to a PC from calling home.

Where do geeks go to die?

Where do geeks go to die? 02/13/2004 01:13 PM
Answer: The Apple Store. A bunch of us decided to do a pilgrimage to the nearest Apple sales point, and unfortunately nobody got out unharmed. I survived with only some scratches (a couple of games and a TV adapter), but one of the guys who came "just to browse" ended up buying a 15" Powerbook, and a French guy could not resist buying a 23" Cinema Display.

The question is not whether we are still sane, but whether the French guy can fit the display in his carry-on baggage...

ETech is NOT a good place to be if you have ever wondered about buying a Mac, because everyone there is such an Mac Ć¼beruser. You just cannot help but be sucked in after seeing how cool it is to edit documents with SubEthaEdit and chat with everyone in the same Rendezvous circle.

Using a Mac is not about speed or the latest 3D games. It is about the aesthetic experience of completeness and satisfaction.

Firefox: Only for the Geeks?

Firefox: Only for the Geeks? 09/06/2004 06:24 PM

Why I don't recommend Firefox: Adam doesn't think that Firefox is ready to be unleashed on all users just yet. He makes some good points.

Firefox right now is very good for an experienced net user, but is not at all ready for the average person. If you plan on targeting the general public, you need to understand the general public.

Most Web users don't know what a browser is. That blue E they click on the desktop isn't a browser, it's "The Internet."¯ Or maybe it's "Yahoo" if that's what their home page is set to.

Now my story —

I installed Firefox on my parents' computer because IE bugs were making me nervous. My folks are 61 and 72. I just removed the IE link from the desktop, configured the Firefox shortcut to look use blue "E" icon, and named it "Internet." I never even told them.

They haven't yet noticed, and I don't expect them to. The only problem we've had is that Firefox doesn't do Flash natively, and I had to go get a plugin for that. Otherwise, it's been smooth as anything. (And believe, if Mom were to have a problem, she'd tell me — I'm on speed-dial...)

My home machine uses Firefox exclusively. I just told me wife to use the new icon with the bird instead of one with the blue "E". She's never had Problem One.

Annie (my wife) is a bright girl, but I don't think she knows what a "browser" is either. She just knows about "The Internet," and Firefox works as good as IE does. She's a "power browser" too: eBay, online banking, shopping, etc. She doesn't just go to Yahoo once a week — she's on this thing more than me.

So, I don't agree with Adam, but it's a point worthy of debate. Does anyone else have some "Firefox for the non-geek" stories they can share?

Mac Mini: The Emperor's New Computer: Attention: Before you rip the living hell out of this guy, please remember that he went to DeVry. And he has an MCSE.

The Mini boots up into a stripped-down operating system which Apple calls OS X, similar to the stripped-down WindowsCE OS found on many handhelds. The mini OS is going to be a significant hurdle for many buyers who are used to Windows or have favorite Windows software packages they need to use. Think of it more as a first computer for your daughter or niece than as a machine to get any serious work done and youā€™ll get the point of the Mini and its target market. It might also be the perfect computer for grandmothers or autistic children, for example.

Firefly Phone Mini-Review (Verdict:
Great For Kids)

Firefly Phone Mini-Review (Verdict:
Great For Kids) 04/01/2005 09:28 AM

Mobileburn talks about their brief hands-on experience with the Firefly kids cell phone in this piece. We first saw the Firefly last month and noted then that it lacks a standard numeric keypad, instead limiting the user to a "Mom" key, a "Dad" key, and a phonebook which can store up to 20 preset numbers. The phone was "a breeze to use, and certainly was entertaining to look at," according to the guys at Mobileburn and may potentially have some appeal in the senior market. Swappable faceplates and a prepaid system make the idea of handing a cell phone to your preteen a bit more palatable. The Firefly is available now for $200 which includes 1200 nationwide (GSM) minutes for the year.
