Overblown

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Discussion over at Lockergnome about Google’s ability to locate people when you type in their telephone number. If you read the comments it’s obvious that I think the whole thing is overblown, and things like this are being used by certain people to scare people about using the internet. What do you think?

I’ll be at ITEC most of the day, so posting will be light. Also, updates are on hold while YACCS works out a problem with their export engine, although I might move on to some other back end things tonight. At least Hossein was nice enough to email me back and let me know there was a problem. 🙂

    Thanks to a suggestion from Anita, I found a different referrer script that, while still not running locally, at least did include instructions on how to limit the number of characters it shows of a title. That should keep the table layout from getting screwy. I’ll tweak it as referrers start showing up and I…

    In response to some of the comments on the post below: Marc wonders what my platform would be, he suggests “Two PC’s in every house”. I’m thinking more along the lines of “What do I look like, Santa Claus? Get a job and buy your own stuff!”It’s not exactly the “caring” platform, but you know…

    OK I was up until 4AM making sure everything here worked and writing the full article on the problems I had with That Hosting Company. It seems everything is ok with the exception of comments from Sunday and Monday. Sorry, those seem to be gone. Given that much work, I’m taking most of the rest…

    Was interesting. Mostly just marketing hype BS, but some interesting demo’s of stuff that you can do with Server 2003 and Visual Studio .Net. The most exciting thing for me, and I’m sure all other people who do help desk work is the “Shadow Copy” feature that lets you revert back to a previous version…
