NetFlash: Of love and pagers: The life
of married network pros 03/27/2005 05:36 AM
“I don't think our daughter would be too happy if we announced that this year's family vacation was going to be at Comdex,” says one network engineer. But when both parents are in the networking industry, sometimes such sacrifices seem necessary. Being in IT has a way of demanding quite a bit. This week’s A Wider Net looks at networkers who are married to each other - and to the industry.

Visiting the old capital

Visiting the old capital 06/17/2005 05:09 PM
Ever since I blogged about the anti-Japanese protests in China, I have been having a dialog with a number of people about Japanese history. One of my Chinese friends recommended "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan" (Herbert P. Bix) for a more objective and critical view of the Emperor's role in the War. I am reading the book now. I believe this book does a great job of uncovering a fairly systematic coverup by the US occupation and the Japanese media of the role of the Emperor in World War II. However, I do think that Bix tends to makes some conclusions based on the facts he uncovers that I would not necessarily agree with. It is, in any case, a very good book for anyone interested in Japan to read.

With this fresh in my mind, I visited Kyoto, my home town, and was amazed at just how much Japanese tradition is organized around the Emperor. The Emperor went though various levels of influence in the governing of the nation, but has remained in place for 125 generations. Regardless of his level of influence, the Emperor has been the center of most of Japanese culture. Kyoto, for instance, is divided into the "Right Kyoto" and the "Left Kyoto". This has nothing to do with East or West, but is the right or left side of the city when viewed from the Emperor. The bullet train "climbs" from Kyoto to Tokyo (the new capital) toward the Emperor and any road that points away from the Emperor is pointed "down". All kinds of symbols and names allow you to understand exactly what each Temple's relationship to the royal family is. Maybe it was just our guide, or maybe it was that I was sensitized, but I think he talked about the Emperor in almost every explanation he made.

I question whether we should still have an Emperor in Japan and I believe that the facts about the Emperor's involvement in the war should be more publicly known. However, I wonder how the cultural foundation of Japan will change if the Emperor and the royal family were removed.

I　have Flickr'ed the trip.

Visiting Bangalore, India. Any Tips? 11/06/2003 11:07 AM
In roughly 3 weeks, I'll be traveling to Bangalore, India to speak about MySQL at Linux Bangalore/2003 and to spend some time at Yahoo's Software Development Center (SDC) doing some training and hanging out with the crew there. Getting there involves some long-ass flights (stopping in Frankfurt), but it should be very worthwhile. Now, I've never been to India before, so I'd appreciate any travel and cultural tips that might be helpful to a visiting American. Also, if you happen...

Visiting every tube stop in Zone 1

Visiting every tube stop in Zone 1 07/09/2004 05:19 AM
Ewan, a Scotsman living in London, is moving back to Edinburgh, and before he does, he has resolved to visit every tube station in Zone 1, and he's inviting the general public along on his tube-crawl:

Here's the deal, I'll be starting at 12.30 on a weekday in the last week of July (probably Friday the 30th July, but don't quote me just yet). If you'd like to join me as I rattle round Central London and visiting every station of note (and Hyde Park Corner) then make sure you're at Vauxhall Ticket Office for around 12.20 to find me.

Anyone wishing to set up a Rival team to try and beat me on the day is more than welcome, I'd only ask you to also start at Vauxhall with us. Once it's all over, we'll retire to a pub at around 4pm for a late lunch/early dinner, some farewell drinks, and I'll invite you all to the housewarming in Edinburgh.

While we try not to keep it too geeky here, because that would be the easiest way to expose what a fraud I am bore you, this little script from John Muehlhausen is too useful to pass over. It lets you, with a tiny bit of Python wrangling, add Iridium paging failover to compliment your existing pager, meaning you'll have pager service anywhere in the world without cresting the 150 page-a-month limit of Iridium-only service.

Of course, you would have to wear two pagers and look sort of dorky, but if you're already telling your computer to page you via a Python script you're probably well past the gadget dork threshold (and good on you).

Oh, and it's not limited to Iridium, either, so you could tweak to support a second terrestrial pager, so that if a message never makes it to the first pager, a second person could be contacted. SNPP is useful stuff.

The 411 on 411 for cellphones

The 411 on 411 for cellphones 03/19/2003 10:25 PM

Cellphone numbers are going to start showing up in directory assistance sometime next year:

Individual carriers would determine whether subscribers would have to pay to be unlisted. Other privacy options are possible, too. For example, wireless phone users might choose to be unlisted but willing to receive a short text message, sent through the directory service, from someone trying to contact them.

Cellphones vulnerable to SMS-bomb

Cellphones vulnerable to SMS-bomb 03/19/2003 10:45 PM
A certain make of Siemens cellular handset, popular in Europe, can be shut down by sending an SMS-encoded message to it. Hilarity ensues.

The e-mails contain a single word, taken from the phone's language menu, surrounded by quote marks and preceded by an asterisk, such as "*English" or "*Deutsch," Siemens said.

Opening the short-text message on a Siemens 35 series cell completely disables it, Rice said. Siemens 45 series phones are less affected and can be resuscitated after about two minutes of work, Rice said. Both phones are sold only in Europe.
