Ass-kicking Computer Nerds
Ass-kicking Computer Nerds
02/10/2004 02:44 AMComputer nerds are stereotyped by the public as a bunch of meek
cubicle-dwellers who sit quietly staring at screens, taking orders
from MBAs 6 levels up in a bureaucracy, until their jobs get
outsourced to some villagers in India. Though we might regret
the U.S. government's decision to grant citizenship to people who hate
Americans we can be grateful to Maher Mofeid
Hawash, the Intel programmer sentenced today for his efforts on
behalf of Al-Qaeda (Mr. Hawash was attempting to enter Afghanistan in
2001 and fight directly against American troops... imagine Rambo with
a copy of K&R). Mr. Hawash picks up the struggle to reform the
public image of computer nerds taken up by Sami Al-Arian, the
University of South Florida computer engineering professor who
was, in addition to a naturalized American citizen and member of the
American Muslim Council, a leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
A few more guys like this and Hollywood will start making films
about action heroes with day jobs coding Java.

More on porting suit-productivity to
nerds
12/30/2004 07:20 PMCory Doctorow:
Merlin Mann has posted part two of his year-end roundup of his project
to port
Getting Things Done, a productivity book aimed at suits, to
nerdy types whose life is organized around technology.
I have had the worst time setting up a single, integrated workflow
that works for me. I've flitted endlessly between text files,
Entourage, Mail.app, vim, online RSS-based calendars, all-in-one apps,
paper planners, Moleskines, index cards, and more in search of the
right combination. Each tool and habit has its benefits, to be sure,
but I never seem to land on a really satisfying set of apps and
practices that feels like it has exactly the right "flow" to it. Most
corrosively, I often (really often) blow tons of time ramping up to
some new bauble only to ultimately discover it lacks some critical
piece (export, reminders, etc. etc.). Bad habits for someone who
ostensibly wants his work life to be more productive and waste-free.
Of course, I can write some of the time and effort down to "research"
and the fact that part of my work involves learning about new
productivity widgets, but I can't avoid the fact that I still don't
have a method of handling all my information (and actual work) in a
way that I find satisfying and intuitive. Plus I have to admit to some
terrible habits surrounding my ongoing search for "The Perfect
System(TM)."

Suit-productivity tips for nerds roundup

Suit-productivity tips for nerds roundup
concluded
12/31/2004 12:49 PMCory Doctorow:
Merlin Mann has concluded his end-of-year roundup of his attempt to
port the excellent-but-suit-oriented productivity book
Getting Things Done to a system that suits geeks who rely
heavily on computers and related devices to organize their lives.
I doubt that I'm the only GTD nerd who now has faster and more
ubiquitous access to the internet than back in 2001, when Getting
Things Done was first published. Just as one data point, I work
primarily on internet-related projects from home on a 1.5Mb DSL line
and house-wide wifi: "@online" is virtually all of the time for me.
So, the GTD contexts associated with my work demand more subtlety to
be useful (or even worth the bother of maintaining them).
Take me and multiply it by an order of magnitude for students with
Hiptops, full-time AIM access, and a completely wifi campus with
unlimited, lightning-fast bandwidth. I suspect that this desk-free,
under-25 crowd are a group worth Davidco devoting some avid attention
to.

.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?pr03146Of all the personal
computers to be unwrapped during the holiday season, more than 80
percent will be used to go online and search the Web's more than 92
million gigabytes of data (comparable to a 2 billion-volume
encyclopedia). Getting online is the easy part, finding a useful Web
page is a bit harder—keeping track of a useful Web page is another
issue altogether.
People have devised many tricks—such as
sending e-mails to themselves or jotting on sticky notes—for keeping
track of Web pages, but William Jones and Harry Bruce at the
University of Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of
Microsoft Research have found that often people don't use any of them
when it comes time to revisit a Web page. Instead, they rely on their
ability to find the Web page all over again.

01/28/2004 08:56 AMKeeping Found Things Found on the Web - A Research Project of
the Information School at the University of Washingtonhttp://kftf.isc
hool.washington.edu/projKFTF.asphttp://kftf
.ischool.washington.edu/publications.aspThe goal of
this study is to understand better the ways in which people manage
information for subsequent re-access and re-use. The study focuses on
the management of information found on the Word Wide Web. Follow-on
studies will look at similar problems and practices of personal
information management for other information types including email and
personal files (electronic and paper-based). The classic problem of
information retrieval, simply put, is to help people find the
relatively small number of things they are looking for (books,
articles, web pages, CDs, etc.) from a very large set of
possibilities. This classic problem has been studied in many
variations and has been addressed through a rich diversity of
information retrieval tools and techniques.
A follow-on
problem also exists which has received relatively less study: Once
found, how are things organized for re-access and re-use later on?
What can be done to avoid the need to repeat the entire search
process? We refer to this as the problem of Keeping Found Things
Found. The current study addresses this problem in the context of
World Wide Web use. The study focuses on use of the Web by managers,
researchers, librarians and other information specialists. But it is
expected that the results of the study will be relevant to most users
of the Web.

Les 3
3, rue Saint Croix de la Bretonnerie (Marais)
Paris, 75004
Another amazing dinner at Les 3 around the corner from our
house. This place was recommended by Gil, who's a chef and whose
apartment we're renting. He was not wrong about this place. More
au current than Le Colimaçon and similar to something
one would find in San Francisco, the food was spectacular. I started
with a cream of chestnut soup, accompanied by a slice of fois gras on
toast (YUM!) and then had rouget in a sauce of some sort and a side of
potatoes gratinee. Wow. So good....chestnuts are my new favorite
thing. I'm going to buy a little bag of roasted ones to try out soon
from the guys that sell them on the corner. Was going to today in the
cold rain but forgot. Will report on how they taste soon. Expect most
reports from France to be about food and nothing else. Musee d'Orsay
was good, but you would have expected that.

Very nice lunch in a stylish café in Montmartre. While the
entrees (English entrees) were fairly expensive, and much more than we
wanted to spend for lunch, the salads and omelettes were priced more
reasonably and were delicious. I had an omelette
provençcal which was filled with wonderful cooked veggies
like red peppers, eggplant, and zucchini. It was served with some nice
red leaf lettuce dressed lightly in a simple vinaigrette. A glass of
red wine bouch du Rhône accompanied. 21.30 euros for
two.
