Comment on Sorry OpenID - Maybe Later by Will Norris

Will Norris — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:12:58 +0000

I agree completely that the wp-openid plugin did a lot of strange things, especially in regards to excessive logging. We released version 3.0 of the plugin this last week, and I would strongly encourage you to give it another look. In addition to cleaning up the code and logging, we added a few significant new features, including providing OpenIDs.

My students laughed at me the other day when I said “Arghhh” in class. They didn’t know it was Talk Like A Pirate Day. Sigh.

Comment on Virtualize your Mac? DiscCloud Wants to Put Apple Leopard in the by Disc Cloud

ps - we agree, go buy a Mac (as your client). And IF you want your Macbook Air’s desktop to have 10Terabytes instead of 64GB, and if you want that desktop to be always available, accessible from anywhere, and automatically backed up, access your 10Tera Byte Mac Desktop (with your favorite Mac) in the Cloud. DiscCloud ! Thanks again

Hi,

Thanks for the write up. DiscCloud is definitely 100% Apple License compliant. It vastly differs in its approach to the “bad guys”. DiscCloud doesn’t not require or even permit Leopard to be installed on non Apple hardware. Rather, it requires that Leopard reside on an Mac Client. The desktop however can be virtualized and reside inside the DiscCloud virtual machine running on a non Mac server. The Apple License components stay safe and sound on Apple Hardware (the Mac client).

Non Mac clients ARE NOT supported.

Too bad I have already joined and paid my FF at work. I would have used that opportunity to join this league. Rats! Rules and point system is nearly the same, a bit more to join in, but the rewards can be MUCH more! Next Year Baby!

PayTheFan.com has some of the best cash prizes I’ve ever seen. I’ll be playing again this year as well as trying out Ditka’s new game at Ditkasports.com. His game is for a good cause as a portion of the proceeds benefit the Gridiron Greats. After you win the big money at PTF, send some over to Ditkasports.com. It’s for a good cause, plus winner gets cash and dinner with da coach!

I followed this story loosely on Plurk. Glad you finally have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Comment on Comcast is Watching You. Good or Bad? by frank

frank — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:55:28 +0000

Comcast is aggressively trying to turn around their reputation for poor customer service.

Maybe they are being just a little too aggressive.

At the same time, I have always been amazed by the number of persons who would rather complain about a problem to third parties, rather than complain to the people who might be able to help them.

I even heard Bob Garfield say, in an interview, that he thought they were actually trying to improve.

Full disclosure: I use Comcast and I have received only good customer service from them.

When they bought the local cable company so long ago I can’t remember the name of the company they bought, they promised to upgrade the system. We used to have frequent outages and blips; since Comcast completed the upgrade, the only outage we have had was when someone ran into a lightpole at the end of the street or the power went out–and they aren’t responsible for the power..

When I got cable internet, I couldn’t get it to work; they had someone here the next day who tracked down the problem (a bunch of antidelivian couplers which couldn’t handle the bandwidth) and fixed it in less than an hour.

Then, again, I’m close to Philadelphia and this was when Comcast had just started to buy up everything in sight. I suspect their customer service problems had more to do with getting too big too fast then with an active desire to irritate their customer base–kind of like when AOL first offered flat-rate unlimited connectivity with an included internet gateway and were overwhelmed by a response that ten times what they expected or prepared for.

And, yes, I’m against Comcast’s packet sniffing.
