- I've disabled the comments on the site for the time being due to continued comment spamming. I had tried the spam plugin for comments a while back but that broke KMpings so I had to back it out. Please use trackback to add comments to an entry or e-mail me and I'll update the post. I have left existing comments in place so they can still be viewed. I'll investigate the plugin again when I have time and will hopefully provide the comment feature again in the future. |

- The syndication link on my Global Guerrillas site is totally non-sensical. It won't open in my browser (it forces me to save) so I can't easily copy to my aggregators subscription box. |

- I tend to like projectphp's view but I don't think Google will do something that drastic. Its like what is going on at the airports in the US and other countries. Profiling all new sites in one bucket and making them stand on long lines. The point of putting these sites on a hold is to discourage the spammers. But that is obviously not fair to those non-spammers. |

- The library's copy of Paradox of Choice has gotten around to me. So far I'm disappointed. I guess I know too much about modern marketing. But, there is one very amusing item about half way thru. In the 1950s Herb Simon at CMU, as a side effect of the early work on Artifical Intellegence, introduced to the B School crowd the idea that economic entities rarely, if ever, seek the maximial outcome. |

- Dressed in a black suit and tie, a man asked the roomful of mourners to bow their heads. For a minute, they stood and faced the brightly lit altar in silence. On a stage, piled in a pyramid and surrounded by white daisies and lilies sat the dead: dozens of eggs in clear plastic cartons. |

- Do they use the Bible in determining judgments, too? If so, then I hope they remember that if you steal a man's ass (think donkey, you pervert), you can be stoned. I wonder what the punishment is if you steal a man's 401k, or send people to war for corporate profits... |

- Clemens Vasters is talking about a large sample application he is writing for TechEd. It is a distributed, transactional system, and he is working through the difficulty of handling failures. Specifically, he is wondering what to do if his transactional serviced component makes a call to a web service over HTTP, and a failure happens somewhere in the overall transaction.He goes on to describe a number of complicated ways around the problem. I see a couple of basic problems, issues with his approach: |

- The federal assault weapons ban is scheduled to sunset on September 13, 2004. Call me a peacenik, leftist, East-coast commie liberal, but I don't think the U.S. needs more high-power, rapid fire weapons. This would be a good time to contact your congressional representatives. |

- Depuis quelques mois, Nick Cave avait annoncé la sortie d'un album qui comporterait plusieurs pépites encores inédites. Aujourd'hui le site officiel de Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds annonce que cet album de faces B et de raretés du groupe australien devrait arriver dans les bacs le 7 février 2005. Pour l'instant, cette information n'est pas confirmée officiellement par la maison de disque de Nick Cave.Il faut donc s'armer de prudence...et de patience ! |

- PR TIP OF THE WEEK If a journalist calls asking for five minutes of your time for an on the spot interview or comment on something happening in your industry (and the more PR you do, the more likely this is to happen), and you’re feeling stressed or unsure about it, don’t be afraid to suggest that they jot their questions down in an email and you’ll get back to them at once. It makes it far less easy for them to misquote you, you get to think carefully about your responses and the journalist gets your interview or comments ready to cut and paste into their document. A win win situation. If you would like to receive the free www.doyourownpr. |
