Remind 3.0.23 (Default branch)
04/15/2005 03:23 PM
Remind is a full-featured calendar/reminder program featuring
sophisticated date calculation, moon phases, sunrise/sunset, Hebrew
calendar, alarms, PostScript output, an X front-end, multilingual
messages, and proper handling of holidays. It also includes scripts
for making a nice WWW calendar server.
Changes:
The COLOR special reminder has been added to generate colored entries
in Tk, PostScript, and HTML calendars. Support for the Icelandic
language has been added. There are many small tweaks to TkRemind,
including the ability to open a text editor on a reminder by
right-clicking it.
You remind me of those people who said
they'd never get cell phones
You remind me of those people who said
they'd never get cell phones
01/08/2004 08:06 PMI remember when everyone shouted into their cell phones and thought
that their batteries drained faster when they made long distance
phones. I remember when people (who now have cell phones) swore to me
that they'd never have a cell phone. I remember when cell phones
looked more like military radios. I think it's fine to gripe about
technology, but I would warn those people who swear they'll never use
a technology. Technology evolves and so do social norms.
We've been having a dialog recently about the relationship
between social norms and technology. I think this is part of the
same dialog. New technologies disrupt our habits and our norms and
what we feel comfortable with. I am an early adopter type who uses
every technology possible and I try to wrap my life around it all.
Some people try the technology and point out the tensions. Some people
ignore the technology. Technology evolves along with the social norms.
When it works well, we end up with a technology that contributes to
society in some way and becomes a seamless part of our social norms.
When it doesn't work well it either damages society or does not
integrate and is discarded.
Being the techno-ut
opian optimist that I am, I think that writing off Skype and IM as annoying is a big
mistake. They are what military radios were to the cell phones of
today. I think it's important to take what David Weinberger and da
nah have to say about the tensions they create and thinking about
how to make presence more granular, how to make it easier to manage
the emission of your presence information and control access to you.
What DOES free VoIP really mean? Can it be a background thing that allows us to continue to focus
on our work instead of being an interruption? I am very excited by
IM and VoIP and think that the tensions and the annoyances they are
creating is a good a reason as any to dive into the privacy, identity,
presence and interop issues that we've been talking about for so long.
The more annoying it becomes, the more people will care about these
issues.

How Dotster cost me days and days of

How Dotster cost me days and days of
downtime: stay away from this registrar
08/12/2004 07:36 AMA year ago, the DNS for craphound.com disappeared. Which was weird,
because I was paying for DNS with Dotster, my registrar.
I called them up and spoke to their tech support people. "Oh yeah,"
they said, "your paid service ended a month ago but our billing system
was broken so we didn't send out a notice. So we terminated you for
nonpayment. But dude, you're lucky! We gave you a free month's DNS!"
Lucky lucky me. I got a free month's DNS and to pay for it, I was
bouncing mail all over the Internet and my Website wasn't resolving.
Bastards. I bought two years' worth of DNS and vowed that when the
domain came up for renewal, I'd switch away from Dotster. I sent them
an email telling them as much and got an email back apologizing and
saying that they would certainly never terminate my DNS wihtout notice
again (you see where this is going, I trust)
Craphound.com is up for renewal at the end of August. Not wanting to
leave things to the last minute, I changed over early this month,
switching registrars to Domain
Direct, who are now the registrar for all of my domains, and
boingboing.net besides.
I didn't move over the DNS -- I figured I'd paid Dotster for another
year's service, I might as well get it. Instead, I left myself a
reminder in my iCal for next July to set up DNS at DomainDirect a
month ahead of the service running out on Dotster.
This morning, Dotster terminated my DNS. Without warning. And when I
called, they told me there was nothing they could do about it. Even
though there's nothing in my DNS contract that says that DNS is
provided to domains registered with Dotster and no others, that is,
apparently, their policy. And they can't make exceptions. Not even for
48h while I effect a graceful change to DomainDirect (who have been
fantastic throughout and now have 100 percent of my domain
registration and DNS business).
Bastards.

01/07/2004 03:11 PMThe origins of the term "inside baseball" are in one writer's view of
sports reporting during the 1980s. He's Bill James, now a famous
scholar of baseball. The arguments he made then explain why the term
migrated so easily to politics. The inside, said James, is a hall of
mirrors.

VCs Only Do Tech These Days
VCs Only Do Tech These Days
08/09/2004 12:51 PMVCs have been
complai
ning lately that there's too much money going into "me too"
companies, making it more difficult for them to make themselves even
richer. This is, of course, a ridiculous complaint, since those very
same VCs go on to claim that
their investment and their
expertise makes a difference much more than money. If that were true,
they wouldn't worry about other, lesser VCs who couldn't make quite
the same difference. Of course, another reason this is ridiculous is
because it's a problem that VCs have created by themselves by rushing
in to invest in the same space. It's become a pretty common joke on
Sand Hill if one of the big name firms makes an investment in a space,
all the others need to place their bets as well. That means, of
course, that businesses outside of the norm don't get funded -- which
is nothing new at all -- but, right now "the norm" is
all about technology. If you have a non-tech business, don't
expect to raise venture capital. Of course, what the article here
doesn't say is that many non-tech businesses
don't need venture
capital. It's an unfortunate sign of the times that many
entrepreneurs have been brainwashed to believe that part of the
startup process is about raising venture capital (there are even those
who seem to think that's the
entire purpose of starting a
company, forgetting the whole "building a product and getting revenue"
part of the equation). Many non-tech businesses simply don't fit the
type of business that a VC would invest in anyway, since VCs are
looking for high growth opportunities. On the other hand, however,
many VCs lately have gotten locked into this silly idea that patents
are the only way to have a competitive advantage, without realizing
that patents are a very weak, and not particularly sustainable form of
competitive advantage. VCs who invest in companies who cite their
patent portfolio as one of their strengths are deluding themselves.
However, right now, tech companies are
stockpi
ling patents, and it gives the VCs an easy number which they can
use to keep score ("Oooh, we need to invest with this company, since
they have 25 patents in this hot space that so-and-so just invested
in").

of The
365
Days Project. This legendary project, in which an MP3 a day - of
mostly
outsider, novelty, and oddball recordings - was made available for the
public to download over the course of 2003. Briefly taken offline, it
is now
presented here in its entirety, complete with images and vast
commentary on
each selection. The 365 Days Project is part of UbuWeb's redesigned,
newly-named and much-expanded Outsiders section.

06/11/2004 12:51 PMThe strangest of days
The strangest of days
06/30/2004 11:04 AMMet someone yesterday, a new acquaintance. Someone who had touched my
life only in passing previously, like a falling autumn leaf. In less
than 24 hours we clocked over eight hours of talk. It's really
amazing how some people are just so much
in tune with your
thoughts, that discussion ceases to be a struggle for supremacy, and
it just
flows. It's like dance. Or riding (on a good day),
for that matter.
This proves to me, more than anything else, that it is important never
to stop searching, never to stop learning, never to stop trying.
And I fully realize how much this contradicts my previou
s story about letting go. They do contradict, and yet they don't.
:-). Perhaps I'll write about it some day.
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
