Who Are Your Press Contacts? (Online Media Outreach, Part 2). Human contact remains the core of quality journalism, even though most journalists increasingly rely on the internet for their work. Every journalist knows that when you're on deadline, the best way to get questions answered correctly and fast is to talk to a cooperative and knowledgeable source – that is, a real person, an individual. This is why it's crucial, in your online pressroom, to prominently list the names, direct phone and e-mail, and areas of responsibility for each of your press officers... [Contentious] 9:30:53 PM

Why Journalists Hate Web-Based Contact Forms (Online Media Outreach, Part 3). When offered alone, with no other communication options (such as phone or e-mail, preferably for specific individuals), web-based forms send some very, very negative messages to journalists who may wish to contact your organization... (NOTE: This is part 3 of a 10-part series.) [Contentious] 9:30:26 PM

limits reached @ the castle.
Unbelievable. After I upgraded our home cable connection a couple months ago, there apparently is still no way to obtain an unmetered broadband pipe. I've managed to exceed the 30 gig in 30 days limit my provider continues to impose.
I've asked so many times for more bandwidth, money in hand willing to pay.
I don't get it, they should be blowing me for being such a great customer, willing to pay for more.
Instead, I'm in the dog house again. Modem speed reduced to 56k/sec. Guess I'll have to go find a hotspot to upload the source code today.
iPoddder = Off :(

daily source code october 14 2004.
I finished recording and compressing today's Source Code by about 3pm and needed to find some bandwidth for the 35 meg upload.
Two hotspot locators told me to go to the Total gas station on the E19 highway which runs south to France and North to Holland, about 15 minutes from the house. Since it was raining and I knew I would need maximum battery power to complete the lengthy upload, I didn't war drive on the way and doubt I would've found anything anyway.
Do I need to tell the part about there not being any wifi at the gas station? Didn't think so.
Then I remembered that I had installed 4 eMacs and 2 airports at Christina's old neighborhood grade school. But that was a few years ago. I drove to the school and cracked the laptop and sure enough the network came up and I was connected!
Now the school was already closed by this time so I had to find a spot in the parking lot that would get maximum strength. Unfortunately no spots were ideal to park the car and there was no cover readily available. So I wound up parking nearby the gym with the window rolled won, laptop's butt sticking out about 2 inches and using the laptop carrying case as a rain shield. See photo.
The upload speed wasn't great, god knows what those kids have running by now on the machines... But I was able to complete a complete iPodder scan and download while uploading today's show. Hopefully everythig will be back to normal by tomorrow morning! Enjoy today's Source Code, it's 43 minutes long.
