What does a bored geek do? Put his system logs in RSS, of course.

It works pretty well now that I got a good GUID scheme down and parsed out the dates properly. Cap it at 500 lines, run it every ten minutes ... I can monitor remote machines in situations where I could not be the syslog delegate. Trés nice.

Dami en Hirst has a new show up in New York. (NYT link) The British artist (previously discussed here, here, and here) has turned away from sheep in boxes and towards photo-realist painting. His subject matter hasn't gotten any cheerier - "The Devastating Impact of Crack Cocaine" is downright frightening. Slightly more accessible is "Six Pills," which is reminiscent of his Pharmacy installation.

Tom Coates, bored defender of webl0gs... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

I don't know whether it's articles like these (on why people give up weblogs) that I get annoyed by or responses like this from 2lmc, but either way I'm pissed. I don't know how obvious it has to be before people get it - lots of people have weblogs and find value in them, and - yes - lots of people don't! This is a shock to precisely no one! Moreover, there has never been anything on the web that some people have liked and some haven't. Every single online community, bulletin board, mailing-list, online social-networking tool, web-application or published site ever made has had people who start using them and then stop. There's even an industry word for it: "churn".

Getting three people's comments on why they don't read BBC News might be an interesting read but it wouldn't be a story. It wouldn't reveal anything particularly good or ill about BBC News. And anyone who was seriously using such a piece to illustrate their own counter-factual hobby-horse would just look highly selective in their source material, slightly duplicitous in their arguments or basically a bit stupid. Why is this any different?

Survey Says, US Net Surfers Bored Of
Taking Online Surveys 04/05/2005 04:42 AM
According to a study released by Nielsen/Netratings, Americans spent 2% less time online in March than they did a year ago. Is there reason to be alarmed? Not really. In order for this data to be truly useful, we need see the amounts of time spent online broken down by tasks and have comparative metrics for their offline counterparts. Something like: taking online surveys (down 2%), reading email (up 9%), deleting spam (down 11%), surfing the web (up 13%), surfing the ocean (down 3%), working at the office (down 10%), spending time with kids (up 17%), and making sure you're up on the latest pointless statistics (up 13%). It's not that statistics aren't important, it's just that 50% of all statistics are made up anyway.
