These web sites should be put in the dog house or sent back to obedience school
Do you want to have fewer blog readers? Are you tired of pesky commenters who disagree with your posts? Is there something to be gained by frustrating users? Here’s how… Just set up your blog so users have to create accounts and log in to post a comment. Heck, they already have 50 gazillion accounts, […]
It’s been a while since I barked about the clumsiness of LinkedIn but just had another one of those near deaths by lame interface design. But before that, i am still trying to fathom what LinkedIn offers beyond the ability to just link. It seems utterly recursive with no ending condition to stop the loop. I am sure I am missing the supreme benefit, and get tripped up by their spurious claims of benefit.

Good golly, 2008 is not even 24 hours in the bag, and I am blogging about spammers. You can certainly see something I did not put on my resolution list (which, in fact, is another one of those zero item lists). Spotting spam sometimes takes some detection, but other times its a simple matter of: […]
Something that always gets my fur up is the blatant use of fishy language dressed up like “fact” or science. Last week when i was so idly bored (by choice) I was watching late night TV, and there were two different ads for things like “Gut Buster” or “Pilates Plus” – those ones where people […]
Last week I was at an NMC Board meeting, hosted at a very special location in Cupertino, and was oh, so overwrought with jealousy as colleagues pawed, swashed, swooshed with their shiny new iPhones.

Considering the blog post immediately before this one drew a link farm spam trackback in near real time, I am testing them to see how quickly they pick this one up. The site that spammed ne is purportedly called “Social Networking News for Myspace / Facebook / Etc.” but is composed entirely of blog post […]
This dog has put down a paw on the dominant proliferating swine source of email bacn. Getting an email notification of an “X me” message (no idea why that is different from any other message), I wasted my time/bandwidth to find someone sent me a snowman. Thanks, sweet thought, but… I will not put up […]
Thanks to Marie C here at Tulane for sharing this BBC Story, In pictures: Nepal dogs honouredImage from BBC Nepal is celebrating the festival of Tihar, its equivalent of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. In Nepal, on the second day of the feast, special honour is bestowed on dogs. On this day, called Kukur […]
This is really disturbing. I was looking quickly to embed a quick poll into a web page, so why not reach for a free easy tool? The first google hit on free web poll, nupolls.com, was nothing fancy, but seemed to do the job (ugh, decrepit 1999 vintage HTML generated). Until I glanced at the […]
