PRODUCTIVITY: Yahoo Groups are experiencing mail delays
Saturday, January 27, 2007*** begin quote ***
Yahoo! Groups Mail Delivery Issues, January 25
Due to a database-related issue earlier today, we are experiencing a Groups email backlog. Delivery of messages posted between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. (Pacific time) today, January 25, may be delayed several hours.
Messages posted now are being processed through our backup mail servers, so they will be delivered immediately. While our primary servers catch up, Groups users may see messages that were posted earlier today delivered out of order.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you and your group members.
The Yahoo! Groups Team
*** end quote ***
At least they communicate.

PRODUCTIVITY: How do you manage your contacts and data?
Friday, January 26, 2007I’m frustrated with the lack of the “killer application” comprehensive Contact Management.
Plaxo has a fragment of it (The great external pariticpation). LinkedIn has a fragment of it (The Bio and Connection). Corex Cardscan has a fragment of it (The rolodex metaphor). Outlook has a fragment of it (Speaks to Plaxo and Corex). Act has a fragment of it (the Sales Funnel). But no one has “it” (i.e., Like, in Lord of the Rings, One Ring to control them all).
I’ve even thought about writing my own app using MySQL. But, that’s a daunting task. Several have tried in Fat Client or Web-based, but they didn’t capture “it”. So I wonder if “it” is capture-able.
So does anyone else share my frustration? Sometimes I think I’d be better off with paper and pencil!
Fustratedly,
Fjohn

RANT: How stupid are the voters in New Jersey?
Friday, January 26, 2007101.5 is reporting the gutting of all the proposed property tax savings bills in Trenton. Why is this surprising? It’s business as usual for the thugs in Trenton who steal our money. It’s slavery.

NonFiction: things I found inspiring
NonFiction: The power of Negative Thinking
NonFiction: Find Your Next Job Like The Big Turkey You Are
NonFiction: Home Computer Techniques
Fiction: What I did in Church on Sunday
NonFiction: 2DO, or not to do?
Your feedback is welcome.

ALUMNI: 7 obits this week
Thursday, January 25, 2007Wow, What did everyone wait until after the holydays to die? While some were old fogies, some were pretty young (i.e., close to my age). It makes me sad.

Making Kids Worthless: Social Security’s Contribution to the Fertility Crisis
By Oskari Juurikkala
Posted on 1/24/2007
***Begin Quote***
Every kind of socialism creates perverse incentives, and socialism directed to the family perverts the family. Because everyone has to pay for the retirement of everyone else, it does not pay to have children. Of course, people will still continue to have some children, simply because they want to have children as ends in themselves. However, as far as economic incentives are concerned, it has become economically more “rational” to free ride on the children of others. No surprise that masses of people embrace present-oriented lifestyles and refuse to commit themselves to real marriage with children.
***End Quote***
One has to wonder what the true costs of America’s dabbling with socialism. We have allowed the politicians to create the Unites Socialist America.
How do we turn it around?
Honest money, private education, and ending the dole.
Seems simple but it would immediately reverse the perverse incentives discussed in the article.

RANT: A second site introduce “security theater”
Wednesday, January 24, 2007They have actually broken what roboform used to handle quite nicely.
They now have a screen for userid and then a screen for passwords.
Can, will, roboform support this “security theater”?
One is Paytrust and the other is Vangard.
Help?
I don’t understand how this helps ME. I understand that it gives them a more plausible defense should someone break in.
Knowing the answers to questions that can be relatively easily found out, ain’t gonna cut it.
How this stops replay or a keystroke logger beats me.
