• Seems I Wasn't the Only One...

  Looks like Michael Arrington of TechCrunch got uninvited to the Google and Vanity Fair party at the Democratic National Convention too (though he had missed his invitation email). I had RSVP'd "yes" but I guess too late and then after booking my flight got an email a week later saying they had reached full capacity. Oh well... Read More...

• The "Open Data Foundation"?!?

  Chris Saad, of DataPortability, seems to think I'll be announcing the "Open Data Foundation" tomorrow morning at OSCON . I won't even be at OSCON tomorrow. Go figure. Update: Apparently TechCrunch is trusting Chris Saad as a source as well . Do I need to post a picture of my airline ticket leaving PDX tomorrow at 8am before OSCON starts? Read More...

• easy to impress

  Perhaps I am easy to impress or maybe I have a misconception about IP addresses, but I am still impressed by Jurassic ones. Apple has 17.149.160.10 HP has 15.192.45.21 Everything smaller than 32 is from the Stone Age. In the era of classless routing this is not that impressive anymore, but still... openinfocard.org (today) is 68.178.232.100 which is smaller than 128 but nothing to be proud of. And anyway the rule "smaller is bigger" does not count anymore. And I have to make up my mind what I do Read More...

• Don't Steal the Receptionist's Phone

  If you've seen this woman around SOMA, she has a white cell phone. Watch the elevator around 18 seconds. From http://colleenmcgarry.vox.com/library/post/caught-on-tape.html . Read More... Posted Thursday, February 14, 2008 6:09 PM from David Recordon's Blog | 1 Comments Filed under: lame++

• Thinly Veiled Spam

  So JetBlue emails me today saying "We're Giving Away up to 800 Roundtrip Flights!". Ok, cool. I login using my TrueBlue account and it asks for my information, alright, but then it requires I give them names and email addresses of seven friends to "win with me". They just wanted to expand their spam list and instead try to make it seem like an awesome content. So lame. Read More...

• Novell's javascript mania

  Today I was looking for a mailing list that announces new versions of the DigitalMe identity selector. I started looking at the Bandit's project home page . And surfed to " bandit-announcements " which sounded interesting too. From there the browser gets redirected to Novell's login page where I choose " create account ". This looks like this when you have scripts disabled : And like this when javascript is allowed for novell.com: CSS anyone? And than: this is another example of a page that has a Read More...

• Thanks for telling me who my friends are Google!

  Google says I know Erik Arvidsson though as far as I know I've never met him or remember talking to him. I guess he knows Aaron Boodman so maybe I met him.?. At least Google is 100% certain we're friends according to their text within Reader! "You have been automatically subscribed to items shared by Erik Arvidsson, because Erik Arvidsson is your friend ." Read More...

• How to Wear Shoes Through Airport Security

  Step #1: Dress as a soldier. Step #2: Where your gigantic issued boots. Step #3: Profit! So it seems that assuming you're in a military uniform you're not required to remove your boots when going through the metal detector. Rather you're only required to do so if they set it off. This might make some bit of sense if the person watching the metal detector was also checking to make sure they had valid military ID. In other travel law news, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in August that Read More...
