Steve Rubel: Before I dip into the mailbag I want to thank fellow Scoble fan Randy Charles Morin for fixing my domain issues and Shawn Zehnder Lea for volunteering to upgrade my photograph, which now has a more suitable background color. It's incredibly kind people like Randy and Shawn that make me appreciate every day I get to have a seat on board this big ship called the HMS Blogosphere as it sails out to sea.
Randy: You balance the hate mail from Pierre and Dare against this and realize, it's worth it.
wizard_drongo on eBay: You can now rent my CLEAVAGE for a period of 15 days, during which I will display your company logo, slogan or web-site address in the form of a temporary tattoo you will supply to me.
Winning bid: £422.00
AlterNet: The year's most egregious price gougers, polluters, union-busters, dictator-coddlers, fraudsters, poisoners, deceivers and general miscreants.

Not in any particular order.
Friendster: You can now submit a photo for a friend. Choose the picture from your computer and add an optional caption. Your friend will then have the option to approve your picture and count it as one of their own.
Randy: Friendster seems to be stuck in dumb mode.
I've noticed that of late, many of the social software Websites have decided that jobs placement is part of their business model.

Of late, I'm being harassed by someone who claims to be an employee of Tribe. His username is P-Air W and Tribe portfolio is here; http://www.tribe.net/person/8c356f12-6213-4ae8-b5eb-1862b153c3da. I'd love to find out if this is really an employee of Tribe or not. Please send me an email, if you might know. He originally sent me an Tribe mail regarding a suspect user that I have as a Tribe friend. I responded "Sorry, I don't know anything." He persisted and I replied "Sorry, but I don't participate in witch hunts." He then sent me the following Tribe mail, in Italics.
Well Randy, already I can say that I appreciate your confirmation that she is indeed a witch. Thanks for all your help. It's evident that you have a good sense for how people in a community work together to make it a better place. You're fm Canada hunh? I guess things are changing there as much as they are in the U.S....sad.
I emailed this entire conversation to feedback@tribe.net and will send it to a few friends I have at Tribe.
Update: I received another reply from this user, insisting they are an employee of Tribe. In his response, he says "If you need any assistance removing yourself from Tribe feel free to let me know if I can facilitate this for you." This makes me doubt further that this is an employee of Tribe, as I would doubt that a Tribe employee would harass its users and compound this by encouraging them to delete their accounts.
Update: I received enough proof from P-Air W to believe he is an employee of Tribe and have asked him to delete my account. Wow! Seems this P-Air is one of the top execs at Tribe. I cannot believe that one of the top execs at Tribe wrote this to one of their users.
BoingBoing: A Londonder made a tsnuami-relief donation using lynx -- a text-based browser used by the blind, Unix-users and others -- on Sun's Solaris operating system. The site-operator decided that this "unusual" event in the system log indicated a hack-attempt, and the police broke down the donor's door and arrested him.
Microsoft: Diluted earnings per share exceeded the company’s guidance by $0.04 and were $0.32 including stock-based compensation expense.
Randy: $3-4 billion cash in the bank. That's $10-15 billion on a yearly basis. Will there be another multi-dollar per share dividend in 2006?
Mark Jen: hi, my name is mark jen. i used to work for microsoft, and now i work for google. this is a blog of my personal experience as a new google employee.
Randy: No USM! Sorry can't subscribed. Still, I'm gonna bookmark this one and stop by for a read or two. Worth the read.
As the years move forward, I find myself more and more amused by older entries on my own blog. Link.
Alec Saunders, the great CDNian, x-MSFT, VoIP Dude, blogger.
Today, I converted the iBLOGthere4iM blog to use USM. Universal Subscription Mechanism allows the user to subscribe to RSS feeds by clicking on that stupid little orange XML button. In order for this to work on your computer, you have to install a USM client. You can download the USM reference implementation client which works with 20 different RSS readers. USM works with several million blogs already. Most blog hosting services and software respond improperly, but the percentage of USM capable blogs is increasing rapidly.
This is the way the Web should work.
My next step, I'm redoing my blogroll, removing all non-USM blogs.
Tribe: Mature Female Slaves Wanted to help tend my grow op; wash, cook and clean up around the castel, as well as provide personal services. Oral skills are an asset as is a knowledge of Tantric rites and rituals and submissive attatute. Training is provided.... this is a 24/7 position..... must be willing to relocate to the mountains of Supper Natural British Columbia. (thats in Canada)
Randy: Why didn't I think of this?
MarketWatch: In a bid to boost badly needed revenues, the New York Stock Exchange is considering a plan to open two hours early, at 7:30 a.m. Eastern time.
Randy: This will mean the end of companies releasing news before the opening of trading. 4:30PM everyone?
Martin Winer: There is much debate of late as to who is the patent holder on the term ‘Marriage’. Conservative heterosexual monogamists have put their moral stake in the ground claiming that 'Marriage' is their intellectual property.
So, my order last week for a Dell notebook was inexplicably cancelled. They say something was wrong with the billing information, but they can't tell me what was wrong. Really weird, because I was on the phone with a Dell sales person on Monday and they didn't mention anything. The customer care person told me that I'll be getting the free printer even though the order was cancelled, so long as I order another notebook. Nice. So, I re-order the notebook and this time apply the $200 coupon and it works with a little effort. I also got a free warranty upgrade. Total, I saved about $240 and I get the free printer. Very nice. I was very careful this time to enter the proper credit card information.
ETA: February 7th.
eWeek: SourceLabs found that difficulty in acquiring technology; concerns about licensing constraints; and a lack of integration, testing and support all contribute to the slow adoption of open-source technology.
Roadblocks - Why open-source adoption stalls:
- Difficult to acquire
- No integrated systems
- No system dependability commitment
- No mission-critical support.
Zorgloob: 62,34% de brésiliens, 10,91% d'américains, et 7,76% de japonais.
Randy: 62% of Orkut members are Brazilian.
724 Solutions, a leading provider of next-generation IP-based network and data services, today announced that it will reschedule the release of its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 and the subsequent conference call.
Randy: This was followed immediately with a 10%+ drop in the stock price.
Brad Fitzgerald: Another customer in the facility accidentally pressed the EPO button, then depressed it, replaced the protective case, and left the building.[cut] EPO, by the way, stands for Emergency Power Off and it's a national fire/electrical requirement for firefighters to be able to press these big red buttons near all exits that turn off all power in the entire data center. This is the second time this has happened to us in the years I've been there.
Randy: Read the whole thing, particularly about the configuration issues. You'd think, with a farm of 100 computers, that you'd have exactly one configuration, to avoid configuration problems, but from the post-mortem, it's pretty obvious that no two of the 100 computers were alike ;)
Allen Morgan: Get to the point -- FAST!
Randy: I have a severe "Get to the point" problem. I like to make every point a jouney. For instance, I hate flying, because I believe the road trip is worth the drive. It takes me three days to drive to Disney, Florida and I'd be happier if it took four days. My wife wishes it took two days.
treehugger: Their Z-Capsule bus runs on a low-emission, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engine, with a people friendly no-step low floor. On dedicated roadways, multiple Z-Capsules can travel unmanned and convoy-like (Toyota call them ‘platoons’) but then be human controlled on a standard street, The driverless trick is possible through magnet markers imbedded in the road. This guy left some great feedback on eBay.
For those that don't know, my car was broken into when I was at the Geek Dinner this month. I parked in a second class parking garage downtown. Stupid of me. The security told me they had two break-ins that day alone and that they have break-ins all the time. I told them, they lost a customer. It cost me $330 to park there that night; $20 to the parking log and $310 to Speedy Auto-Glass. Anyhow, I decided I need a new car, my 2001 Saturn SL1 seems to be targeted by thieves and bad drivers. I've decided on the JL421 Badonkadonk. What do you guys think? Thanks Oleg, for the suggestion.
Rule 1: Life is not fair. Get used to it.
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault. Don't whine about your mistakes -- learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how "cool" you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Note: It is actually the work of Charles J. Sykes, author of the book Dumbing Down Our Kids.
Source: I got this in an email (a.k.a. SPAM) from Whatis?.com. I tried to find a source, but most of the links in the email were relative. Think about it!
SiliconValleyWatcher: Google is about to announce technology that will allow its advertisers unprecedented levels of control over when, where, and who can view their advertising on Google search pages and those of Google partner web sites. For the first time, the search giant will provide its advertisers with an application programming interface (API), which will enable them link their computer systems with Google and control parts of the mammoth Google ad delivery system. The API will allow advertisers to self-administer the delivery, the timing and the price they will pay for their text ads.
I just bought myself a new Dell notebook. $1654 CDN with all the taxes. The most expensive part was the 3 yr on-site warranty and complete care.
- Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghz, XP Home
- 15-inch XGA, Color Printer (free with purchase)
- 512 MB memory, 40 GB storage
- 24X CD-RW/DVD, 802.11b/g wireless
In the confirmation email, there was a section called ESSENTIAL DELL CANADA ONLINE RESOURCES. The links (3 of 4) were 404. Obviously, they are not that essential. Incompetance is everywhere.
ETA: February 1st.
Jeff Sandquist: Bob the duck walks into a feed store...

MSN Money: Now, let’s say you emptied your closets and gave everything to Goodwill or a similar charity. The value of your donated items -- clothes, furniture, whatever -- is deductible. Get a written receipt. With noncash charitable contributions, the rule is simple: No receipt means no deduction if you get audited. If you've already dumped your old clothes in a Salvation Army box and walked away without a receipt, take the deduction anyway. You’ve legitimately made the contribution. You just may not be able to prove it in an audit. Play the audit lottery. You’re still an honest person. (If you can, reconstruct as much as you can the list of items you donated and then figure out their market value. The easiest way is to go to a Salvation Army or thrift store and check prices there. And then, of course, get that receipt.)
Randy: Awesome tax gift.
Joey deVilla: Somewhere, someone who is not Melinda Gates finds this photo arousing.
Randy: Disturbing.
Randy: Tim Bray has an enhancement to Google's rel="nofollow" anchor attribute.
Tim Bray: It’s nice to see that Google has taken up the cudgels against comment spam in what seems like an effective way. I can see another application: it allows me to express negative feelings hypertextually without collateral Google-juice damage. For example, the recent referrer-spam perps, who are pathetic losers, ineffectual morons, abusive predators, and probably deserve to be in jail. There, wasn’t that fun? Which suggests an enhancement: rel="justlabel", which says “don’t count this link for ranking purposes, but do take its content seriously as relevant to the indicated site.”
I find the Scoble factor quite funny. Every once in awhile, Scoble will say he doesn't like this blog entry or that and why. He'll say he's going to unsub from your blog because you said something he doesn't like. But, this often creates an interest in your blog and you get a bunch of new subscribers. Like me. Subscribed.
... but is there a blog in there somewhere? Some blogs have gotten so full of advertising that you can't actually see the blog thru the ads. Is there any real content or is it just one big advertisement? What do I read? Even the RSS feeds are ad filled. Unsub.
This blog entry brought to you by The RSS Blog. << please clicks, I get 5 cents per click. Click many times, if you have the time.
Richard MacManus: Upgrade to Google's free photo editing software.
Randy: More Picasa 2 on the Google Blog.
Tim Bray: Near as I can tell, pretty well every somewhat-visible website in the world is seeing its logfiles fill up with with bogus page fetches there only as a vehicle for a spammish “referrer” field; whether or not the site posts referrer data.
Randy: Confirmed, I've spent considerable time the last while building up my blocklist. I also see a abnormal spike in my referrer hits starting on January 3rd.
Wow, it's amazing how the holiday season slows time down. It seems like months since we had our last meetup. This Wednesday, PeelPub, 7PM. See y'all there!
Don't forget to invite a friend. The more people, the more fun. If we can get our numbers up into the dozens, then we can consider an all day Toronto Geek's Convention. TOGeekCon?
See y'all Wednesday.
CNet: Is Google planning to build a global fiber optic network from scratch? And, if so, why? The question has cropped up in light of a recent job posting on the search engine giant's Web site seeking experts in the field. "Google is looking for Strategic Negotiator candidates with experience in...(i)dentification, selection, and negotiation of dark fiber contracts both in metropolitan areas and over long distances as part of development of a global backbone network," the posting reads, in part.
Ever go to a Website and realize you can't go in because you've forgotten the password you used to create your account? Then you hit the forgot password link and request they email you the password. You check your email and bingo there's the password you'd forgotten.
Well, guess what? If they just emailed you your password, then that means they can engineer your password at any time. They can print a table of emails and passwords, sell it to the highest bidder and we'd have a lot more fraud. I hope you don't use the same password on eBay or Paypal that you use on every other Website?
Next time you login to a Website account. Check if they can send you your password in an email. If they can, then your password is not properly encrypted (using a one-way hash) in their database. Not only do such sites have lax security, but they are also compromising the security of other Websites.

Inforworld: Web search titan Google on Thursday will unveil Google Mini, a new search appliance designed for small and midsize businesses, and an upgrade to its existing Google Search Appliance for larger organizations.
Randy: I don't understand this corporate search market. Do people actually buy stuff like this?
Robert Scoble: Ed, Ed, Ed, don't you know that you're not allowed to talk about when that other company's demos crash?
Randy: When will people learn to do pre-canned demos? To test them repeatedly in the environment where they will be presented. To have alternate material in case of technology failures outside of your control. I remember, a couple years ago, crashing a demo in front of Scoble and the Microsoft gang. I wasn't pleased. I wonder if Scoble remembers.
IBM: IBM today pledged open access to key innovations covered by 500 IBM software patents to individuals and groups working on open source software.
Mr. Anonymous: So is this:
- A genuine act of philanthropy by a concerned corporate citizen who's business is transitioning to the service sector.
- A pathetic ruse by the software patenting department of a multinational now that the tide is turning against them.
Tim Bray: Oh yes, and a perusal of these patent titles would tend to reinforce the cynical view that most software patents are complete unadulterated bullshit.
Here's a boulder worthy of a blog entry.
Yahoo! Blog: As noted last month, there's been a lot of interest and excitement around Desktop Search products and technology. Today you get a chance to try out the beta version of what we call YDS (Yahoo! Desktop Search).
Randy: Something to play w/ tomorrow. Hopefully better than Google or MSN's hard drive indexer grinders. Also, didn't know there was a Yahoo! Search Blog. Looks good. Subscribed.
Review: Wow! I can't believe Yahoo! came up with such a great desktop search. It doesn't grind my harddrive. It indexed quite nicely. It's even indexing my C# files and making them ultra searchable. The developers @ MSN and Google desktop search should be embarrassed.
LinkedIn.com: LinkedIn is brought to you by OPEN: The Small Business Network from American Express to enable you to find and reach the people you need to get business done.
Randy: Interesting.

I just showed my wife how to send an email. I can't believe she's never sent one before. The Web has a long way to go.
d.w.: Randy, I find these "Google-hit" threads fascinating... Such a weird cross-section of posters...
Randy: Thanks Dave, the Paris Hilton blogpost is cool! I get several hundred google referred hits per day on that one page. I love watching the comments too. I refrain myself from posting there to avoid tainting the experiment. I do from time to time clean up the language left behind.
Dave Winer: Yahoo lists planned sales of Google stock.
Randy: Never a good sign when the insiders are selling like mad. The same thing started happening in the summer of 2000 at 724. In the next year, the company effectively collapsed. I'm not predicting anything.
Must see flash.
Googlism: Googlism.com will find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or anything!
Randy: Google thinks I'm 22 years old. I generated that result using 'randy morin' as the search term. Using 'randy charles morin' as the search term resulted in 'randy charles morin is the chief architect of sportmarkets development from toronto'. Which use to be correct.
MSN: Married men hold higher positions, get promoted more often and receive better performance appraisals than single men.
Randy: I don't think you have to wonder why this is true. Just take a look at my wife. She does most everything at home, which enables me to focus more on my career; more money.
theBubbler: Our goal at theBubbler.com is to provide convenient, efficient, family-friendly, and FUN Wisconsin-based information.
Hiroshi Yamaushi: Hey Ballmer why don't you suck my tiny yellow balls.

Microsoft: They're back! PowerToys are additional programs that developers work on after a product has been released to manufacturing. They add fun and functionality to the Windows experience.
Randy: I'm gonna have some fun for the next hour.
MHO, if Vic plays, then Atlanta wins the NFC, else if McNabb plays, then Philly win, else if both are injured, then Philly wins. St Louis, Minnesota, Green Bay and Seattle would all be hard pressed to beat Atlanta or Philly, because all four have no defense. All four allowed 100+ more pts than Philly this season. I would love to see Atlanta and Philly play.
On the AFC side, there are three teams I see moving forward; NE, Pitts and Indy. IMHO, Indy is the team to watch. In all likelyhood, they will play NE in two weeks (remember last year) and Manning remembers last year and Manning is likely the best QB coach in the NFL (and the best QB of all-time).
Super Bowl: Indy over Atlanta.
My brother really wants Green Bay to win. He's a cheesehead.
Hypergene: Last night (Dec. 30) on ABC World News Tonight, bloggers were named People of the Year.
Randy: Wow, I'm so honoured. I'd like to thank my wife and kids for putting up with my endless Internet time. And my parents, for raising me to be an introvert.

TSN: Canada is in familiar territory at the world junior hockey championship after advancing to the final for the fourth straight year. [cut] And for the third time in four years at the world junior tournament, Canada will face Russia for the gold medal.

Orkut Terms: By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the orkut.com service, you automatically grant to us a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicenseable, transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to copy, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly perform and display such Materials.
Tribe/Orkut user: This is a similar issue to Gmail allowing Google to automatically scan the text of users' private emails in order to target ads toward them.
Randy: I find it funny when people point to standard terms of use such as Orkut's as a reason not to use the service. Without such terms, how is Orkut suppose to display your submitted posts to the other users?
Inspiration aims to break the record next summer |
Newsweek: The goal is to have everything at your fingertips, instantly available to anyone who wants to see it.
Randy: I was talking with my brother last night about search. He gives me a unique perspective, because he's technically capable, but doesn't make technology his life (like I do). He found that trying to do research on the Internet with the existing search engines was not possible. We found there to be two problems; there are gaps in the data and much of the data is false.
Maybe a little bored, I decided to make my own 10 best events in the blogosphere of 2004. By best, I mean good best, not just big news. So, bad news events don't qualify, no matter how horrifying.

Last week, while at a Shell gas station, I found the previous customer had left his receipt behind. For those that don't know, you can redeem your Shell receipts (in Ontario) for cash at Dominian or A&P grocery stores. Earlier in the day, I bought 2 tins of Tim Hortons coffee at A&P and saved $7.50 by remitting Shell receipts. Note, you also get Air Miles at Shell and A&P. I got 10 air miles for the 2 tins of coffee and one or two air miles everytime I pump at Shell.
The receipt left behind was for 10 liters of gas, which is less than the minimum 20 liters required to get your 50 cents. I tossed it, but I did consider using it. Today, while pumping 45 liters, equals $1.50 off, I also found a receipt left behind. It was for 45 liters, equals another $1.50 off. I quickly looked around and found another receipt for 80 liters, equals $2 off. Wow, I'm saving $5 on my $30 of gas today.
Question? Is taking receipts left behind from others and redeeming them for cash unethical? Illegal?
