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. 🙂

Work and things
I’ve been a bit busy since coming back yesterday working on some small, but important, things and haven’t really had time to blog much about what I’ve been doing. For example, I had an issue yesterday where someone tried to email one of my users with 2 video files and a news article attached to…
There’s a change in the air
Looks like Tony has left Penguin Shell. Someone else will be writing that particular Lockergnome newsletter. I can understand what Tony had to say about it, and I can also understand what Chris has to do as a businessman, and I wish them both the best of luck in their separate directions! Thanks for all…
MT-Blacklist
As many of you know, over at the child abuse site, I use Movable Type, and I have often raved about how well MT-Blacklist works to keep out comment spam. Well, thanks to a pointer from Christine, I see this morning that there is a bug in the latest version of MT-Blacklist. The rather simple…
Things I noticed over the weekend
Over at Christine’s I saw the term bloggerbated for the first time. “No honey I was up all nite bloggerbating, what did you think I said?” *L* I will have to bloggerbate by myself for a few days as Angela’s hosting provider, (aka her brother) is moving and will have the server down for a…
What I accomplished this weekend
Yeah I did get a copy of Red Hat 7.1 installed and running on Friday night, then I was able to figure out how to download and install the latest version of Mozilla on that installation and do a little web-surfing late Saturday night/Sunday morning. There’s definitely a learning curve to this bad-boy, and my…
I’m hating Symantec
Well last night I was REALLY hating Symantec, I’ve since cooled off a bit. A friend of ours purchased, and then tried to install, Norton’s System Works 2006. She thought she had a successful install, however when she restarted her computer, her new System Works immediately went into red stop sign mode, telling her that…

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.
