the happiest days of our lives







the happiest days of our lives

the happiest days of our lives 04/14/2004 03:55 PM

The last two weeks have been incredible trip back across the last three years (and in some places, the last fifteen years) as I've worked on my Just A Geek rewrite . . . and I'm down to the final scene in the book, which I will finish today.

I sent the 99% completed manuscript to my editor two days ago, and after reading it, he sent back a note, that he asked I share with WWdN readers.

A mandala is a symbol of the universe. It is a diagram whose colo rs, lines, and forms all have meaning. In the Buddhist religion, mandalas are used in sacred ceremonies and meditation, to help people on their journey toward spiritual enlightenment. Mandalas have been made since ancient times. They can be painted on clo th or carve d or c reated from sand.
If you don't like those, you can just make pretty sand pictures on your monitor.

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 AM
A 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.

A new Probe Droid is on the prowl; this week asks whether collectors would like to see a ‘non-spirit’ version of the new OTC Obi-Wan figure. Similar to what Hasbro did with the Jabba's Palace Luke, the rather impressive OTC Spirit figure has many fans begging for an opaque version; should Hasbro comply?

256mb_mmc.jpg imageIO Data Device has announced a 256MB MultiMediaCard, the "MMC2-256M." I had pretty much ruled out MMC as a popular flash media ever since the days of the Diamond Rio. Panasonic and friends basically ate it alive with SD, but it seems IO Data hasn't given up hope. Since modern SD slot devices can also take MMC (the dimenisons are the same), you're still good to go.

New generation lives to see another Che


New generation lives to see another Che 05/26/2004 07:59 PM
New generation lives to see another Che "Che Guevara is widely remembered as a revolutionary figure, to some a heroic, Christ-like martyr, to others the embodiment of a failed ideology. To still others, he is just a commercialized emblem on a T-shirt. But for Latin Americans just now coming of age, yet another image of Che is starting to emerge: the romantic and tragic young adventurer who had as much in common with Jack Kerouac or James Dean as with Fidel Castro. The phenomenon began a decade ago with the publication of his long-suppressed memoir known in English as "The Motorcycle Diaries," which has become a cult favorite among Latin American college students and young intellectuals..."

GPLFlash lives again


GPLFlash lives again 06/05/2005 11:36 PM
The original GPLFlash project, which was meant to bring to GNU/Linux the ability to play Macromedia Flash movies, stalled when Macromedia released a 32-bit binary Flash Player for Linux. Because of that, and because of a lack of development help, the last significant update to GPLFlash was in June 2000. But in the past year there has been a surge in developer interest in the GPLFlash project, and now it's back, with greater stability and fewer bugs. Unfortunately, it would take a complete rewrite of GPLFlash to play the vastly different Flash 6 and Flash 7 file formats. That's why GPLFlash2 is now under development, with the goal of being a fully Flash 7-compliant replacement for the restrictively licensed Macromedia Flash Player and browser plugin.

Expensing's Seven Lives


Expensing's Seven Lives 06/16/2004 11:33 AM

  • Mercury News (reg req): Panel OKs measure to block expensing. A congressional committee overwhelmingly approved legislation Tuesday that would block a proposal to force companies to deduct the cost of stock options.
  • This is a cheap vote by committee members for legislation they surely suspect will never become law. It shouldn't become law. The system has worked to the vast benefit of Silicon Valley companies, which understandably want to keep the gravy train rolling, but now they should do the right thing. The time has long since passed when companies should honestly reflect the value -- the cost to shareholders -- of stock options in their income statements. Shareholders will understand, if reported earnings drop due to expensing of options, that nothing fundamental in the company has changed. Today, profits are overstated, and shareholders seem to grasp that without much trouble. They aren't as stupid as the tech industry seems to think.

    DaynaFile Lives! 01/09/2004 09:56 PM

    Going from one memory to another, I was surprised to find many references to DaynaFi le by Google.  Ages ago, I was contacted by a company based in Salt Lake City: Dayna Communications.  They needed someone to write system software that enables Macintosh to read PC disks.  What a crazy idea, I thought.

    Anyway, I was one of the few guys outside Apple who could write such stuff so I spent a year communiting back and forth.  Why so long?  Well, I had to convince Mac that 5 1/4 inch PC disks were Mac disks and integrate seamlessly with the Finder as well as other Mac applications.  Bridging various differences between DOS and MacFS, particularly Mac's resource fork, was real fun too.

    After the product shipped, I ran across some Dayna folks at a MacWorld show demoing the stuff and they told me that, when one of their customers found my name displayed prominently on the boot screen and asked about it, they had to make up a story about Don Park being a code name for the project.  Oops!;-p
