Bytes and Bites

Bytes and Bites From Altitude Data And no, that's not my computer. Not me either, but hey. Sometimes I learn things that some folks might be interested in, sometimes I just run across a particularly interesting case, or make new connections or observations that eventually wind up in the bottom of my ever growing pile of other soon-to-be moot bits of data stored on my biological hard drive. Might call it a mental compost heap. Tech is sorta like a garden, if you think about it. The veggies you live on, the flowers for fun, the weeds that come from nowhere and the bugs you hate. The compost of the ancient stuff. (From, like, last year.)

World Wide Web or Wild Wild Web?


I am sometimes astounded myself at the sheer level of malevolence in the world. The scams, greed, and sheer nastiness toward others that some forms of life are capable of. I have recently witnessed complete computer meltdowns due to an attack that came through a cute little widget that some people just really enjoyed using, and heard about and personally witnessed internet scams and greed that just make my skin crawl. Remember when Charlie Brown used to say ARRRGHHH!!

What, you may say, does that matter? If you just said that, go back to what you were doing. Just leave this page and go read something else. Seriously, leave. If you were more like, right on, I remember, and poor Charlie, then read on, you have my permission ;D

See, the way I approach life and the world and work is that I want to be useful. By definition that means leave it better than you found it. When you leave the woods, take your trash and somebody else's. You KNOW there's some there, and don't pretend you didn't see it. Keep your nose in your own business, your mouth shut when it's not yours to tell, and just be generally respectful. Help when you can, say if you can't and charge a reasonable amount for the service. Is that so bad? Or, so hard?
