There's been a lot of buzz at, around, and about Yahoo and RSS and weblogs. Yahoo needs to realize that this technology is used to open up communication and that this really ought include communication with and among Yahoo's users. When Yahoo launches a new product or service, I think users deserve an open forum in which to communicate with Yahoo and each other about it.
A form to e-mail system ensures that Yahoo will see their feedback at least in aggregate , but nobody else will. Not even other interested users. I suspect that if Yahoo supplied a Yahoo Group for user feedback on a new product launch, the result would be open and honest feedback as well as new ideas. Users would interact with each other and share ideas for improving the new product or service. Yahoo would benefit and Yahoo's users would benefit. Yes, there'd be spam, bitching and moaning, and so on.

Does that mean it's not worth doing? I think not. Really, it's not all that different than Asking Questions in Public. By not offering a Yahoo hosted place to discuss such things, Yahoo is turning a blind eye to the positive effects of the communities that form around new ideas, products, and services.
Those who happen to have weblogs will probably end up posting their rants or praise in blogspace.

Don't get me started on the irony in that statement. I'm not saying people shouldn't blog their reactions and ideas. But if it's the only real mechanism to get it out in the open, that's bothersome to me. Isn't Yahoo, in large part, a communications platform? On the plus side, I think that in the near future it'll become apparent that Yahoo is not simply following Google's lead.

The intention is there. Trust me on that one. This morning I met with my new tax advisor to discuss things related to home buying and stock option related taxes. I brought the previously mentioned spreadsheet with me to get a sanity check on my thinking. Thanks, Nelson. So it looks like things are on track from his point of view. It was very helpful to get his validation of my approach to handling my money.
Sometime last year I setup a Google News Alert for my name. Because I can't read every damned thing that gets published and I'd like to know when my name appears in the press--for good or bad. And I'd like to know before someone else asks me about it. As the screenshot at the right shows, there are currently three matches. This is a milestone of sorts, I guess. The first one is from Jon Udell's latest Infoworld Column. The second is John Battelle's Foo Camp article from cnn. And the third sort of surprised me.
It's an article in the Hindustan Times India that points to my predictions. Cool stuff.

Thanks Google. I know I bitch about PageRank a lot, but nobody else seems to match your news alerts coverage. I made the mistake of installing Flash for Mozilla a while back to view a few web sites that Now I get all these dumb ass flash ads showing up on Yahoo and other sites. Is there a way to enable or disable it on a per-domain basis sorta like pop-up and ad blocking? I'm using Mozilla Firebird 0. Anyone know? Bye-bye flash ads. After the place I saw the other day , I got to wondering how big my apartment really is. The place I saw was in the 1, square feet ballpark and just didn't feel very big.

It seemed that I had quite a bit more room in my old 1, square foot house back in Ohio. I suspect a lot of that has to do with the floor plan. I wasn't very fond of what I saw. There seemed to be a lot of wasted space--at least from my ideas of where the space should be used. It was carved into too many smaller rooms. So I busted out the tape measure. My apartment is 24 feet by 34 feet, or square feet. And, except for wanting a bit more storage in the form of a garage it's basically big enough for me and the cats.
I really had thought it was bigger than that, so now I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't adjust my strategy a bit. Rather than looking for a 3 bedroom place where none of the rooms are quite large enough, perhaps I'd be better off looking at 2 bedroom places that are about square feet smaller. In doing so, it seems that I'd be able to save quite a bit of cash--especially if I go a bit farther away.
One example is here.
In the last week or so, I've developed a renewed appreciation for the File::Tail Perl module. If you haven't guessed from the name, this module provides a native Perl implementation of something akin to tail -f somefile and--better yet--it can do this on multiple files at the same time. In case you're wondering, the reason I find it so helpful is that I've been building various tools that need to perform real-time scanning of log files.
Specifically, I'm dealing with logs from a mail server Exim and a radius server. By putting the two together, I can determine, in real-time, which WCNet users may have infected machines which are using our designated mail relays for spamming. I've been idly looking at a few used vehicle models for the purpose of towing a glider and glider trailer, obviously. Recently I've been checking out Toyota 4runners and Jeep Cherokees. A few weeks ago it was Nissan Pathfinders.
Trying to gauge availability and pricing is a tricky business and one that I really didn't want to spent a lot of time on. Since the used car ads on craigslist are quite active, I figured that was a good place to look.
I don't have time to track all that. That last one really pisses me off, but it's a free service, so I can't complain too much I guess.
Much more than documents.
All in all the script has saved me a couple hours of time so far. What's that? You'd like the code? Oh, okay. I suppose I can share: cl-carfind. I headed out on Saturday to check out a few Mountain View neighborhoods where some townhouses are listed. It just so happens that the first one of them had an open house, so I got a chance to check it out. This one had the open house going on, so I poked around.
I liked the location a lot. The area didn't feel crowded at all and there was a fair amount of extra street parking for visitors. There were a few things I didn't really like about the place. First, the living room was quite small.
