Argh! Doesn’t anyone really think about what they are doing? Do they really think we are fooled by this “caring” email? And, what about all the “barbara streisand” in and around it?
Finally, can they make the font any smaller?
Argh!

HARDWARE: Thermostat absurdity
Saturday, February 26, 2011
OK, here’s a hospital room thermostat. It’s cold in the room. How do I make it warmer? Or, colder.
Those three buttons must DO something, I feel like I’ve been dropped into a future civilization. Or stuff changes, and I didn’t get the memo.
How about a big + and – sign?
Argh!

SERVICE: Cute little video about calling via GMAIL
Wednesday, February 23, 2011http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/make-and-receive-calls-in-gmail.html
*** begin quote ***
We’re rolling out this feature to U.S. based Gmail users over the next few days, so you’ll be ready to get started once “Call Phones” shows up in your chat list (you will need to install the voice and video plug-in if you haven’t already). If you’re using Google Apps for your school or business, then you won’t see it quite yet. We’re working on making this available more broadly – so stay tuned!

TECHNOLOGY: Having one is really having none

The 10 Essentials for Outdoor Adventures
by CHRIS on NOVEMBER 15, 2010
*** begin quote ***
Navigation: As mentioned above, the navigation system could include traditional forms of orienteering such as a good topographic map of the area you are in and a compass, or it could include a GPS unit. Just remember, should you choose to rely solely on GPS, you put yourself at risk of poor signal coverage, dead batteries, water damage, and other mishaps that could leave you without a navigational aid.
*** end quote ***
In the tin foil hat TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) crowd, there is a very relevant expression:
“Having one is really having none.”
First heard that in the USAF Survival School. And, having done that two weeks of hell on earth, I can attest that in every field exercise, every man had TWO compasses. True the secondary one, your eye sight better be good to read it. But there was TWO.
Two ways to make a fire. Two knives — one big and one small. Two canteens — one which was required to always be full and secured to your personal belt. Your only excuse for losing that belt was to be sawed in half.
And, you certainly didn’t want to fail that course and have to repeat it if you were lucky. Otherwise, you were scratched and sent back to “personnel”. Euphemistically call “Human Resource Assignments”. There was always a need for garbagemen, grease trap cleaners, or “weeds ‘n’ seeds”. (We were told that one flunk out was sent to do gardening at “Than Sue Nutt, VeitNam, Republic of”! But we thought that was a fairy tale to scare us. Since we all had our next stations assignments, it did. If I’d have flunked, I’d have lost my gig in Maryland. Sweet.)
SO I have a quibble with the navigation advice, one GPS and TWO compasses and one analog watch, are the minimum.

SERVICE: Google’s two factor authentication
Sunday, February 20, 2011Google’s two factor authentication has arrived at one of my accounts.
It’s an excellent idea and turns one’s cell phone into the equivalent of a SecureId token. Maybe better?
Basically, before you turn it on, you have to consider THREE things.
(1) Understand that the initialization process takes a few minutes of your undivided attention. (If you screw it up, then I’m not sure how you fix it.) So “multi taskers” be forewarned.
(2) Understand what you need to do for all things that access your Google Account but don’t support two factor authentication (i.e., you email program). You’ll generate a special password for each of these applications. (It doesn’t say to, but makes it easy to generate on unique on for each such use.)
(3) Understand you have to have a plan if you loose your cell phone (i.e., losing one of your two factors will lock you out). Google allows you to specify another number and to print out a bunch of backup one time use passwords. Don’t fail to do this.
All in all, seems like a good working implementation.
I’d suggest that you do it on a test id. (Like I didn’t. I was excited to see it finally. That’s could be a bad blunder.)
I assume that you can revert if you want to. But I don’t know that for a fact.
Do as I say; not as I do?

SERVICE: DROPBOX client didn’t restart after reboot
Saturday, February 19, 2011Interesting!?!
Could have been disastrous. So there is nothing in the MACOSX operating system that ensures everything that should be in your environment is. And, by extension, nothing that shouldn’t be there isn’t either.
Argh!
What else can’t we see?

SOFTWARE: LibreOffice 3.3 recommended “Office” suite
Saturday, February 19, 2011http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7959?hq_e=el&hq_m=1174302&hq_l=4&hq_v=e357d8d5d7
LibreOffice
*** begin quote ***
Sure, LibreOffice 3.3 is basically a recolored OO.o, at this point. But, adding its own fixes and features sets it in a new direction. LibreOffice should retain its compatibility with OO.o so that extensions, fixes, patches, and code enhancements can be used in either product.
*** end quote ***
RECOMMENDED!
