Removing contacts in LinkedIn
I use LinkedIn a lot, and find it of great benefit: I’ve had people contact me through LinkedIn about working with them, and I’ve used it to find people for the same reason. I have about 350 contacts, which gives me a network of over 1.5M people who I can search for and contact directly. As [...]
Geekiest thing that I saw today
Kieran has PuTTY on his phone, and he’s not afraid to use it.
Posts of links
Some time ago, I started running an automated script each night that posted my del.icio.us links to my business blog. However, most of the things that I link to seem to be more related to this blog, so I’m now directing those posts here, in the Links category. By some weird coincidence (or not), the [...]

I don’t think that I’m going to use this blog writer very often: doesn’t support categories, which means that I have to go in and edit each post after publication to set [...]
Reply, but not here
Rogers, you have to love them (or not). I use their Blackberry service (voice and data), which has good service but I find incredibly expensive when travelling: there doesn’t seem to be a good way to add US roaming onto my voice+data plan, and let’s not even talk about international. Anyway, they sent me an [...]
Canada’s middle-aged government
Catching up on my Harper’s reading, this caught my eye: stupid civil servant tricks, straight from Ottawa. “Canada’s New Government”? How long until they’re no longer considered “new”, and waste more time and money changing this?
Playing in your walled wurstgarten

Based on this chat, my assessment is that the mesh organizers exhibit little or no commitment to diversity, and [...]
Don’t piss off a blogger
