so how loud are the cicadas?
Here's a video from my side yard:
it's actually interesting because they start the day out of sync, and by about 3pm, they are all singing in sync. There is a definite pattern with crescendos and decrescendos that you can hear alternating from tree to tree.

18 hours to upgrade to Vista
Last night after dinner I settled down with CSI, Scrubs, and the Office on my Comcast HD DVRs with the intention of upgrading my Fujitsu 7120D to Vista in the background. I had oy mac G4 laptop as a secondary to answer email, and search for answers to upgrade problems, etc.
Luckily, I had the foresight to go to the Fujitsu site and grab all the Vista drivers and put them in a folder on my desktop (my computer desktop is a lot like my real desk - see above) so I could easily access them during the upgrade.
Like every large software migration project, nothing went as planned!
First, my Mac G4 crashed. I heard the hard drive clicking, and then death. Now it starts up and can't find a drive to boot from. Great. Another thing to deal with later.
Second, upgrading an existing system to Vista takes a long, long time. I had previously installed a beta clean on an old laptop, and that wasn't too bad. But when it has to go through and check every program and driver already installed for compatibilty, you can probably triple the time.
Of course, none of my drivers came with Vista, so this morning after the install finished (yes, it was running all night) i had to go through the arduous task of de-install and reboot about 10 times.
Finally, about 18 hours later, I had a running copy of Vista! I still have 2 bum drivers I can't track down and annoying message about a ZoneLabs driver for which i cannot seem to locate the source program, but so far, everything seems to work from the software side of things, which is pretty surprising, actually.
Well, there's a few things like it renames all your personal folders from names like "My Music" to "Music" - so every program that had these as a preference can no longer find my files, but that's just a minor annoyance.

IEBlog : IE Developer Toolbar Beta 3 - Now Available
we're kind of in that stage right now where a lot of applications don't fully support IE7 because it is so new (or perhaps because it isn't standards compliant - i'm not here to argue that) - but anyway, if you are developing for IE7 - you might want to take a look at this debugging aid from the IE7 team themselves.

Casino Royale
awesome, the official Casino Royale blog (powered by FeedBurner).
one of these days, when we get a projector in the office we are going to watch all the Bond movies back to back. one of my prize possessions is a bootleg bond DVD collection i got off Ebay from Hong Kong, way before they were really available in the states.
i love bond films because they are all so remarkably bad that they are great. the music, the opening scenes, the ladies, the gadgets - you always know what to expect.
at 724, when i ran product management, we codenamed all our releases after bond villians. that was fun.
what a rambling post with absolutely no cohesion between sentences.

kids and tech
I often ponder how exposure to technology will change the next generation. As a card-carrying gadget freak, it won't surprise you that my kids have been hands-on with computers, multiple videogame consoles, cellphones, and search engines
for quite some time. my take on this is that it can only be good. humans differentiate themselves from the rest of the animal kingdom by evolving the tools we use from generation to generation very quickly. I shudder to think what my grandchildren will be using as tools.

if you're looking for a new router/wireless access point, i just bought this one a few weeks ago, and it has been absolutely stellar. my previous router ranged about one or two rooms in my house, but this one broadcasts over the whole thing and beyond. highly recommended.
UPDATE: in the comments someone reminded me, i had to turn off the stateful DOS inspection to get this to work with VOIP when the VOIP box was behind the router. after i did that, it worked fine.

Prediction: TechCrunch becomes the new FuckedCompany-type site
I love reading TechCrunch. It's one of the few blogs I read religiously, so I can see what shiny new toys there are to play with every morning. But just as Arrington is going to build them up, he's equal opportunity in reporting when they go down. This is going to be very entertaining to watch, as I've noticed he's already started to report on the closings of all the companies he has previousl reported the launchings of. Rock on, Michael.
Actually, since the FuckedCompany dude, Phil Kaplan, just left AdBrite today, he should just re-start FuckedCompany. It's about that time. It's a goldmine waiting to happen.

Another good essay on running a startup
this is an old post that i'm just discovering via evhead, which i catch up on every few months. i need to read ev's blog more frequently, because he posts in bite sized morsels which are easy to digest. he's also the genuine article, which i like.
anyway, these are all good and relevant. usually in lists such as this, there's one or two i don't agree with, but i'm on board with all ten here. I especially agree with #1 and #5.
selling to the wrong customers can definitely sink a business by dragging it down a rathole. how's that for mixing metaphors? if a customer feels like trouble, he probably is. that dovetails nicely with the intuition point.
business relationships are all about the convenants you set with a handshake. too many times i've seen legal contracts get in the way of good business. the contract should be there only as a safety net when a covenant is broken, or when a business relationship no longer exists, say, when one of the deal makers moves on to a new job.

gmail vs yahoo mail spam filters: no contest
we actually don't have any spam filters on our mail at work. it's every man for himself on the spam filter front, so and i generally use spamarrest as my method for keeping the wolves at bay. some people don't like it but i consider it an intelligence test for anyone who wants to email me.
i also forward a copy of my email to both yahoo mail (the paid version) and gmail, for ease of reading, and more importantly, archiving and searching.
so basically, the same email traffic goes to all three services. spamarrest is challenge and response, so basically spam only gets through if i've allowed a mailing list to come through with no challenge. you can see from the spamarrest stats, most of my email is indeed spam. (click picture below for full size)
of the other two services, i gotta say - gmail's spam filter kicks yahoo mail's ass any day of the week. i'd say yahoo probably lets 5X the spam through that gmail does, and that's with the paid upgrade to yahoo that supposedly has better spam filtering.

Web 2.0, Korean Style
Earlier this week, I was fortunate enough to have spoken at the WEB 2.0 + Mobile conference in Seoul. It was quite amazing to see the fervor in which the Korean development community is following this phenomenon. Of course, they are also interested in how the web converges with mobile business - like, they care about it about 100 times more than anyone here cares about that convergence, except maybe Russ.
First and foremost, .this conference was perhaps the most well organized and accomodating i have experienced as a speaker (for a conference this size), from the instructions and help while creating the presentation, to the logistics of getting to a city 6500 miles away from home. It was put on by BORA EnC at the COEX Conference Center, a place where the most technologically advanced contrast with the Buddhist shrines across the street (as seen below).
But while in a country that was very different from the US in many ways, was also a culture that is amazingly accomodating of American culture, and extremly welcoming to guests and visitors. Below is a translation device that was provided to all participants, 
with an earpiece that could be tuned into English or Korean during every presentation. Here I was, sitting in a room of 1000 Koreans, enjoying presentations in English via a translator by the likes of Nakyang Seong, CEO of Yahoo! Korea on how Flickr and del.icio.us was going to change their experience on the web, and the folks at onnet.co.kr, who launched a P2P feed reader called Fish so the Korean web community can experience the power of feeds.
Even thought the thirst was there for learning more about the new world of the web, one got the sincere feeling that South Korea was not far behind in understanding the open APIs of the Web 2.0 world - prepared to create their own crop of mashups and businesses that might go well beyond the tired examples of oneupmanship we see in the U.S. week after week. It was refreshing to see some new faces up on stage presenting instead of the same old Scobles and Searls, and refreshing not to have the audience pounding away on laptops during the presentation (no WI-FI !).
And let us not forget mobile. In a country where things like streaming video at 15 FPS are old hat, this crowd was defintiely interested in how to create applications that merged user-created content with the montezation stream provided by mobile devices. It was so refreshing to see this from a society where mobile is so baked into the web economy, where mobile services are not an afterthought. And it's a case study of how mobile and home broadband can coexist together, in a place where penetration of both into society is among the highest in the world.
So what else is different about the Korean web economy?
For one, the industry clearly looks beyond South Korea for providing its services. Every startup I talked to was not only creating services for Korea, but also was extremely interested in launching products in China, Japan, and the U.S. One company, nhn corporation, famous for the NAVER search engine and portal in Korea, also has a very successful online game, hangame (which i think literally means "Korean Game" oddly enough) and has recently opened an office in Mountan View to try those services in the North American market.
Most Koreans I met had been to the U.S. at least once, and are generally more proficient in English than anywhere else in Asia where English is not a primary language (e.g. Hong Kong, Phillipines).
As one Korean internet CEO explained to me - Koreans are in the middle of China and Japan more than geographically - the Chinese think very broadly and abstractly, and the Japanese are more focused and precise, but Koreans are exactly in the middle - seeing the big picture but also putting a focus on execution.
I thought this was apt, and very much followed my own perception of the three cultures. I'll definitely be following this market more closely having experienced this conference, and look to see some very cool things coming out the Korean internet and mobile communities in the near future.

Google GDrive - yes, please
ars technica is spreading the good rumor that Google will soon launch unlimited storage for its users and they propose the question "will users trust Google with their data?"
I sure will. My experience in having worked with Google engineering in the past is that they are pretty rigorous about security and try to think through all the ways their systems can be gamed. They have some pretty ingenious engineers whose job it is to just try and hack things - and I'm pretty sure they usually succeed on the first try with most projects.
More than that though, Google demonstrates bar none that they know how to scale systems infinitely on a global basis, and if they want to throw ads around my search results when I search for a word doc on my GDrive, so be it if that's what it takes to underwrite the costs of unlimited storage.
Google Desktop is great, but a 2 Gig index file on my hard drive is a bit bulky for me...but I sure loved having those file results up there on top of my web search results. If this were all server stored and indexed and I could quickly get to archived files via some secure WebDAV equivalent, bring it on!
see the story at ars technica:
Is the GDrive Google's next big thing?

time for someone to do personal aggregation again
Back in Bubble 1.0 when we were doing Spyonit.com, there were a slew of companies in a similar space (we were doing consumer "alerts") that were in the business of "personal aggregation". That is, they logged into all of your accounts for you, scraped the HTML off those sites, and re-presented them to you in one dashboard.
remember companies like :
VerticalOne now points to a domain squatter.
All these companies failed miserably at what they were trying to do, mostly because scraping HTML sucks. It really does, trust me. HTML web sites change all the time, in all sorts of little ways. You just can't run a business scraping HTML; it doesn't scale. It takes too many monkeys to keep up.
But in these days of mashups, and Web 2.0 open APIs and structured data (read XML), I'm surprised someone isn't taking another crack at this. One place to go to get all the stats, balances, etc that can all be fetched securly over HTTPS in the background, and presented with that all that cool web 2.0-like flair.
I'm sure MyYahoo! and the other portals do some of this, and it seems kind of to be what Swivel is going after, but more individualized and not business focused.
Quite frankly, a new startup would probably do a better job at this than the portals, just because they could be more nimble and not worry about all the legal ramifications of dealing with the unwashed masses.
I'm sure also that it will be suggested that all this just piggyback on RSS and be presented in the right feed aggregator, which might someday be a good idea once RSS shakes it's authentication problems.
alright, it's late here, and this James Bond movie is starting to get scenic. ciao.

sorry for the noise and naughty language, i was testing some things. what i can tell you is this:
1. content owner tagging creates a big tag-spam problem. the places that use them don't seem to have any countermeasures in place
2. tag spamming raises ad revenues (new traffic, i guess)
3. there are some interesting user agents that seek out special things
4. technorati users tend to use firefox. everyone else in the world uses IE
5. there are some sick people who execute some sick searches. we all knew that

AOL puts Mailblocks out to pasture
well, it finally happened - AOL has decided to mothball my beloved mailblocks email service and is attempting to move people over to AIM mail.
The mailblocks homepage tells the story:
"Mailblocks Announces Service DiscontinuationPer the email sent to all current Mailblocks customers, the Mailblocks email service will be discontinued on November 16, 2005.
We hope you’ve enjoyed your spam-free Mailblocks account and thank you for your continued support. We apologize for any inconvenience this transition may cause and we hope you continue enjoying our free spam-free and virus-free email service from AIM Mail. "
Mailblocks was great because not only was it a great spam deterrent with challenge/response, but more importantly, it was a rock solid POP3/IMAP server.
Now, i am an atypical user of most software.
Email is no different. i use email as follows:
1) i only use POP. IMAP is way to slow for me, and i'm on the go all the time so i want to make sure i have full copies of all email and attachments. i always leave mail on the server, and have my clients (see next) delete stuff every 30 days or so. I forward a copy of everything to gmail for safekeeping.
2) at any given time, i have 4-5 email clients hitting my mail server. my main laptop, a few computers at home, my blackberry.net service, and whatever phone/PDA i am carrying at the time (sometimes more). This is not trivial!!! Try this with any out-of-the-box Linux or Outlook server and you will get tons of connection timeouts, lost mailbox lock files, and connection kick-offs as multiple clients access the server.
3) i get a LOT of email, and my mailboxes are BIG. I can't have a server that slows down as the mail piles up.
4) i do use the webclient a lot. it's important to have a good webclient as well that i can respond from different email addresses with.
So i am trying out some different services - here are my choices as i see them:
1. Gmail - gmail has free POP access, but it's only on secure ports over SSL. I also hate their threading on the web client. their spam filter doesn't seem to really do the job for me either.
2. Yahoo! Mail - I love the new beta Yahoo! Mail interface, but POP access is a premium service. might be worth it if nothing else works.
3. AIM Mail - AOL is making a resurgence - perhaps i should put my eggs in the hands of the same team that created Mailblocks. They do have free POP.
At any rate, I plan to do a bake-off and see who does best to meet my needs. I'll keep y'all posted.

back from asia
whew! Eric and I just got back from a whirlwind tour of China and Japan - it was really amazing on a lot of levels, but especially the excitement around blogging and feeds. we were glad to finally have annouced both of our partners over there - Bokee in China and GMO-A in Japan, who have both started integrating FeedBurner in different ways.
Bokee will integrate the services into some upcoming offerings, which without giving anything away, are already pretty impressive and I am sure will take the Chinese market by storm. They have some talented developers on the case. And yes, the Chinese food in China is *totally* different than the Chinese food in the U.S. - and really, really, good.
GMO-A is partnering with us to create feedburner.jp, a localized version of feedburner.com as well as be a distributor of our services for feed publishers in Japan. We will also integrate our services into JUGEM, yaplog, and Autopage - three of the leading blogging services in Japan. We met with a number of commercial publishers in Japan as well and the excitement is clearly growing there in Japan!
Finally, I probably don't have to mention how big mobile services are in both China and Japan. Having spent a few days going from place to place in Tokyo - it became so clear how i-Mode got it right - people use i-Mode like they would any other website for finding information, including navigation around the city. No click and wait experience - it's just second nature for everyone in our generation. very, very cool. the interest around 3G in Japan is also huge judging by the activity at the Vodafone.jp phone stands.
mobile content is such an afterthought for media publishers in the US right now. that is changing, but i wonder if it will ever get to the level you see in Asia.

one thought on google wallet - Google is a marketplace for content
Google Wallet seems like a no-brainer to me. they already have a ton of payment infrastructure to support AdWords and AdSense, right? Ebay is a marketplace for things, Google is a marketplace for content.
as a content publisher, you can already buy AdWords and use AdSense to peddle your content. makes total sense that you could also sell it via the same account as well.
very smart, if this rumor indeed is true. (i know no info)
