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. 🙂

IT Crowd
I finally got some time to watch the first two episodes of the IT Crowd over at BBC4. It’s pretty funny stuff and while most of it is farce there’s just enough truth to it to make your typical IT folks nod with familiarity. When Moss asks Roy “Did she continue talking to you AFTER…
Screensavers link
I was checking out my site server logs over my lunch hour today. (It’s snowing outside, what else am I going to do while sitting at my desk? *L*) I was puzzled by the sudden increase of people checking out Gnomedex pictures, so I started checking referers and found the Show Notes for Friday’s Screensavers…
Pleasant Sunday Afternoon
This is one of the photos I got while Angela and I were exploring Dawes Arboretum this afternoon. It was a sunny, albeit slightly windy, day and we took advantage of the weather to get out and spend some time with nature. Spending the afternoon here was a great way to spend time together, get…
The questions that defy answers.
Questions like, which is more annoying, sending an email to all of staff asking them not to do something, and less than three weeks later finding someone doing that exact thing, or having a request for something given to you, with important information missing, asking for that information, and not getting any response? And, is…
MS bashing in the media?
From Online Blog comes an interesting look at this article on Micrososft’s Windows profit margins. It seems that MS pulls off an 86% profit margin on all of it’s sales of Windows and some consumer groups are outraged. To quote: Cooper said the Microsoft profit margin had been sustained through illegal use of Microsoft’s monopoly…

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.
