2007 Events

 Tuesday, September 3, 2002 Permanent link to archive for 9/3/02.

Think of it as product placement 
 The guys at the entertainment site DigitalHit.com are looking for a portable something-or-other from which they hope to blog the Toronto Film Festival.
 Will there be wi-fi there? Maybe some of you wi-fi providers can help out the festival folks, and make the blogging easier.
 
Like he said 
 Andrew Sullivan in Slate: How andrewsullivan.com beat Inside.com.
 If there's a better explanation of blogging for everybody who isn't doing it yet, I haven't seen it.
 
Makes me feel young. And slow. 
 Andrew McCaskey Sr. has been writing at least 500 words a day for seventy years. Now he's writing them on a blog. Pointer credit goes to Ev, who says that rocks. An understatement.
 
Say no less 
 DJ bought a slot media card reader that came with the usual Windows software, got the dreaded blue screen of dissuasion. The conclusion of the story:
 Plugging in the device crashed Windows. Period.
 About to package the thing up to take it back, I passed the house server running Linux. What the heck, I thought, and plugged it in the back. "Ooh, hello", said the kernel. I mounted the emulated SCSI device, and grabbed the pictures off the Smart Media card. Easy as that.
 The tables have turned. In times past, it used to be that peripherals Just Worked with Windows (mostly because the vendors targeted the drivers to that platform). Not any more.
 
Your government at work 
 The bloggin' CIO of the State of Utah went warflying yesterday. From 1000 feet up, he found 27 access points, only 5 of them encrypted.
 
Hyperlinkages 
 Moved ahead of BoingBoing and Instapundit in the Blogging Ecosystem.
 Speaking of which, Cory points to Microsoft's new "Entertainment" PC for desk potatoes (which is thick with DRM shit and thin on useful features), while Glenn says "heck, maybe what we need is an Arab Elvis." (The last one's a two-fer, as Glenn points to one of his columns.)
 Let's see if we just moved those blogs back ahead of this one.
 Just testing. Still trying to see how this Web Thing works.
 
Flowers for Tricia 
 If you think you've got it tough, check out Magickal Musings. Found via Rackbrowser, which I didn't notice (amazingly) until yesterday. Here's the Rackbrowser code.
 
Coincidence? 
 I don't know why, but I have often associated, even sometimes confused, Howard Greenstein and Dave Sifry in my mind, even though I know them from utterly different contexts.
 So yesterday I learned that they went to high school together.
 
Where's Burbank's Tara Sue? 
 In Arguendo blogs from the district of Howard Berman, author of the infamous Coble-Berman bill, reporting on contact with the Congressman's office: What astonished us was the alacrity in which the Congressman's office wanted to help us once they knew we had a website.
 Backlinks go to Andrea Harris and Glenn Reynolds.
 
Invention unchained 
 Dave defines permalinks.
 Matt Jones rebrands broadband: permanet.
 Matt's last invention: warchalking.
 
Launching a trend 
 Beth Goza's blog is now b. That's b-dot. I like it. Let's see if we can populate the blogverse with the entire alphabet-dot.
