A Day in Paradise

It’s been a while since I have been in a blogging mood, but I want to discuss the bruhaha which “Anonymous” has made about the CoS and how they are using Digg as their HQ to get the word out.
Firstly, the Church of Scientology has been under fire for decades, a couple kids protesting outside […]

So Gil Mayron is doing a bit of trash-talking in the article in the Sun Sentinal as well as Youtube.
So he spends “8 hours in his office”, I hadn’t touched the wii for weeks before I got into the “Finals” (which, lets be honest here Gil, involved beating 2 people and a 5-year-old), and haven’t […]

I was doing my daily godaddy run to reserve a domain name for a future project (which will probably never happen) when I realized that the godaddy front page had removed the godaddy girls and replaced them with godaddy dudes!

I am not sure how I feel about this. A site called godaddy with a bunch […]

Not sure if what I clicked through told me not to tell anyone about anything, but I just got my beta invite to Xcerion.
Xcerion is yet another OS-in-a-browser, although they prefer to call it “Cloud Computing” or “XML Internet OS”. I assume they say XML since that is probably the data transfer layer, as well […]

I am on hold with bellsouth, and the longer they keep me on hold the longer I am going to rant about them. The trouble started before I even got into work, I started getting reports of “flakey internet” so when I get in and do a quick diagnostic sweep and determine that it was […]

I opened my google docs this morning (like I open it up every morning) and noticed that we now have the ability to create web based presentations from within google docs.

Not only did I find the interface fairly intuitive (after a 3 minute clicking session), but it comes with the functionality to actually present your […]

… of getting bought up by google?
If 100% of your revenue is through google adsense, and google is making 100% (or more) on your 100%, then wouldn’t your worth to google be cut by 50%?
This is disregarding my “community in a box” article.

Don Dodge coined Web2.0 as “Web App + 2 Founders + 0 Revenue”. Funny, and not too far off the money.
Don goes into detail about the various ways that Web2.0 firms are funding their efforts. This goes from Freemium (free basic membership with paid premium package) to Subscriptions to simple Advertising.
One thing that he doesn’t […]

I played with Joost way back in January when it was still called “The Venice Project” and beta testers had to sign NDAs (although that didn’t stop a lot of them). Back then while the technology was great, due to the number of users the quality was mediocre.
I got into Joost again at Stella’s request, […]

This blog entry is an extension of an IRC discussion and email conversation that took place regarding the #phpc channel on Freenode.
Back in “the day” #phpc consisted of between 5 and 10 people, and as IRC channels go it was only us in there for about 2 years. This resulted in everyone getting to […]

I have had an active account at backpackit for the last 2 years, I used it for a lot of different collaborative writing I was doing until Google Docs started kicking ass google style and I decided to move to that.
Now that I have several hundred documents in google docs, I am wondering how I […]

This is something that really bothers people in the business world when switching to Thunderbird from Outlook. In my opinion Thunderbird should make the dash-dash-space sigblock separator optional, or at least have a config option to turn it off.
The reason is that many people do not use a “signature” as a random block of information […]

Here’s a Forum Post about IRC
Long before the days of the web and instant messaging as we knew it, there was IRC. Internet Relay Chat, was created in the late 80s but gained notoriety during the invasion of Kuwait and subsequent gulf war. Through IRC people who were lucky enough to have access […]
