Interesting discussion

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

In the comments for that last post we’ve been discussing the possibility of adding the comment link into the RSS feed item, so that you could click a link in your aggregator to leave a comment and skip the whole “Going to the site” thing.

Andrew first suggested it, and then he went and figured out how to do it in MT. Pretty impressive.

I played around with Blogger and while I could get an absolute link to the comments, I don’t think Blogger supports adding things inside the XML “item” tags. At least my efforts to move the comments link all wound up with it outside the tag and thus, not part of the feed.

    Despite Andy’s excellent suggestions on the last comment, I decided to go with a simple Blogger blog, like this one.

    While there may be growth opportunities in blue-collar industries, you don’t suddenly become a plumber or electrician. It’s a long learning process that doesn’t scale well for that many unemployed people. This is reskilling at a massive, rapid scale, but we have to admit that whatever reskilling we’ve done in the past hasn’t been that good. 

    Do we expect what we’ve done before to ever match current and future needs? I don’t think it will, and that’s a problem that should be addressed. We need different, serious ideas, but I don’t see many of them out there.

    This week is shaping up to be as good as last week. Our Positni filters redirected hundreds of copies of the Sober virus into our quarantine over the weekend. I’m glad they all got detected and redirected but all of those emails in the quarantine means it takes me longer to go through and make…

    Specifically, let’s talk about work hours and home hours. Much is being made about this article, which quotes a new study that says that people with home internet access wind up spending more time working from home than they waste surfing at work. It raises some interesting points. Here, we understand that there is occasionally…

    I spent almost 6 hours at work today. Ugh. I managed the get all the last Norton installs done and that’s off my plate. I managed to get all the new PC’s documented and entered into the helpdesk/specs database, and I tried a number of things to get those USB Dual PS/2 adapters but it’s…
