Now I am getting flooded by hundreds of "quota exceeded" or "virus found" mail server auto responds -- some with the full 100k virus attachments. What the hell is wrong with the adminstrators of these mail servers? Don't they know they are part of the problem? Are they asleep at the wheel? 9:44:17 AM        comment []    Train Wi-Fi Wired: "Come September, Silicon Valley commuters will be able to log on from the train. The first wireless Internet access from a rail line in the United States was bound to happen here where most commuters tote laptops." [Scripting News] Interesting that there is all this hoopla about Silicon Valley being the logical place for this to happen. This service was instituted in Canada by Via Rail earlier this summer(as the article indicates). From the article it seems that installation in Silicon Valley is provided by a Canadian company. Seems like some irony and a logical contradiction here. 9:35:32 AM        comment []    Let the Lawyers begin - "LiveMeeting" A quick search on Google for Livemeeting turns up this product called LiveMeeting from a company called LiveWorks. Their products appear to be ruggedized video phone equipment (like that used by embedded reporters in the Iraq war from what I can tell). There would appear to be some confusion created by the new Microsoft Office/Placeware product called "LiveMeeting" ( or is it "Live Meeting"?). From what I can tell the LiveWorks product predates Microsoft's by quite a while. Could it be that Microsoft's lawyers didn't really do a very good job in their name search? Or maybe they did and they just don't care? 8:51:18 AM        comment []    © Copyright 2008 Brian Sullivan.
