Just a little test
This is just a little test blog post so I can check out creating an ESBN. Feel free to pay no attention to this. 🙂

Cleveland rocks
I’ve been meaning to write about my time in Cleveland the past couple of days, but I just never seemed to find the time. On Thursday, had a great time spending the evening at the In The Trenches Cleveland Geek Dinner. It was late, very late, by the time I turned in for the night….
Tiger
Message to Angela: the copy of Mac OS X “Tiger” arrived safely at my office. It’ll be awaiting you when you get home this evening. Since I haven’t even installed my upgrade to VMWare 5.0 yet, I’m going to do that this evening, hopefully, and let her install Tiger, it is her Mac afterall. (But…
20 hours later
So I got here this morning, and our internet connection was still down. The nice folks at the phone company did get it working just before 9AM, approximately 20 hours or so after they did something to cause the problem to begin with. Now everyone can get back to online shopping, online banking, sending personal…
Sparks fly
Yes, first thing this morning, sparks flew, and I had to lug monitors around the office to replace the shorted one before I even had my first cup of coffee. Not the way I like to start my day. Heavy lifting in the morning is no good for me. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized
Thinking out loud
I have some more “notes” on Outlook 2003, but before I post them I’m considering the possibility of giving those Office Beta Notes a blog of their own. What, another blog? Isn’t 2 enough? Well yes, but this one would only be temporary, until Nov. 30 when the beta period ends, and it would then…

I really don’t see the point in ESBN’s – after all the whole point of a unique id is also known as a URL
I guess it can be used for copyright proof – to prove that you were the first person to write the piece…..or are you? Whats to stop someone taking a document from a previous esbn and then posting their comment and esbn’ing it? Therefore to prove that you were the first person to write the document you have to search esbn (which is going to be incomplete) or use google – which leads me back to my first comment – what is the point if you can just use google?
I’m not sure there’s much of a point either, that’s why I’m testing it out. 🙂
ESBNs can used to provide author/content authentication or nonrepudiation in copyright disputes. They can also be used to track blog views to see how many people are reading your content.
In the near future, ESBNs will be able to be used as plagiarism checks as new ESBNs are created. Original authors will be notified of such possible violations in their copyright.
In addition to blogs, ESBNs can be used for podcasts, websites, emails, digital documents (online or offline), images, e-books, etc.

Chris – i’d like to see how any of your points are valid – HOW does it provide content authentication? Whats to stop someone copy pasting my first comment and giving the new comment an esbn number – that doesn’t prove that they own the copyright to my comment. Also blog views would only work if the people went to esbn or a browser to read Mike’s blog.
Likewise esbn’s could do violations, but only if the plagiariser is daft enough to give their own work an esbn….
Sorry – don’t think this is going to catch on.
