Calling All Wingnuts ... 
Mike Stark called in to Bill O'Reilly's show and just mentioned Keith Olberman, no comparison, no praise, just mentioned him. O'Reilly dumped the call and went a little loony.
"Fox Security"? The Network has a paramilitary or para-police force? The blog posting has the audio.
You can't make stuff like this up. You can't compete with the weirdness of this kind of reality.
On being deep in the long tail ...
I've been thinking about ranting about all those A-List bloggers at the head of the lists. They get invited to all these conferences and everyone wants their opinion about what to do next.
I'm trying to work up some resentment. But ...
| | it just isn't coming. There just isn't a firm enough foundation for a case of righteous indignation. |
| | Celebrity, in any endeavor, is the result of long campaigns and dedication. All of these A-List people and most of the serious B-List people have worked at it for years. And there are real skills involved, skills that have to be developed and then assiduously and perseverantly deployed. |
| | Like, you gotta become good at getting famous and then working your butt off. And I've been too lazy on both fronts to complain that I haven't succeeded. |
| | Of course, that means I've saved a lot of energy to do all the other things I do. And a lot of time. |
| | But, somehow, if you want to be famous, have more than half a brain, and are willing to really work at it, cracking into the A-List shouldn't take you more than a couple of years to accomplish. |
| | It's taken most of the A-List a lot longer than that. They had to build the medium, first. |
The New Blog ... for Symas ...
is the Connexitor Blog. Hopefully, I can reconstruct a lot of the content from the crashed shawm.
| | This has been a source of a great deal of frustration. The power didn't just go out. It flickered on and off for a while before I could get back to the shuttle PC. By then, something had corrupted on the drives. |
| | The next move is to get a monitor on it and see if it's possible to get it to the point where I can copy stuff off of it. Then, I cuspect a totally clean RHEL or SuSE equivalent is in order ... or do I get crazy and go GenToo or worse? |
| | Only after I get phpBB2 up on connexitor.com. |
Well, the terrorists are growing faster now ...
in spite of the President's wishful thinking rhetoric. At least that's what The Washington Times claims the Pentagon's Deputy Director for the War On Terror said.
| | The juxtaposition of the President and his experts is becoming a tradition. Nobody listens to the experts. They don't follow Rove's talking points and aren't on Cheney's strategy anyway. |
Yo, myoppix, where have you been?
In this entry you say, "this is a common bug" but the FAQ entry was posted in Dec. 04 and refers to OpenLDAP 2.1.29 and Berkeley DB 4.1.25!? Try CDS, a current version of OpenLDAP and BDB.
| | Yeah, we know, Red Hat continues to ship way back-level versions of OpenLDAP. Most people figure it's just laziness and not crass commercialism. It's a shame because it exposes all those happy users to old, obsolete code. |
Is your staff a threat ...?
Dave Learms at NetworkWorld asks whether the staff is a threat to the organization's security. Short answer? Yes.
| | The piece was triggered by a "thought piece" from the CTO of Consul. I was intrigued by Dave's reaction, so I went over to RiskCenter to read it and found a trivial blurb and a sales pitch to buy access for $3.95. |
| | I should have known it was a paid commercial announcement. |
| | Other than that, Dave's piece is a verse out of Symas's hymn book. Consider us the choir. |
More Origami rumors
Engadget had an article this morning with conjecture that Origami will be an Intel chip in a Samsung product running Tablet PC.
| | That's consistent with the video. It's consistent with the 7" Samsung LCD that's been begging for an application in this space. |
| | Wonder which power-hungry Intel processor they'll use? |
Only HP ... "HP: Pen-based PDA market on death bed" from Australian cnet.com... and then there was Origami! (?) Thanks Slashdot!
And the quote says that HP is turning attention from PDAs to Smart Phones and is increasing its investment in its smart phone efforts.
| | Origami must be doomed. I wonder who will buy UMPC.com after Intel folds its tents? |
Today
Rowed 5828 in 30m at moderate heart rate (a little on the high side maybe)! 
They say the snow level dropped to 1100 feet, but I don't see any snow on the 1300 foot ridge across the valley. Cheated for the second time this weak.
