Preachy about geeks–again.

Friday, March 14th, 2008
Enrollment in computer science programs is down across the country. After hearing this story on NPR last night, I couldn’t help but have a second of selfish glee. Of course, any good feelings about this were quickly crushed when I heard the news that many students applying for college regard computer science as a quick [...]

The fish-slapping shopping cart

Thursday, February 28th, 2008
Most online shoppers spend a lot of time with different shopping carts. Not to mention the ones actually at the store, a lot of our time online is spent interacting with e-commerce software. I don’t think I’m alone that when somebody says the phrase “shopping cart,” I generally think of a Web-based cart, not [...]

Choosing a band name: The Armadillos

Friday, February 15th, 2008
In the ongoing crusade to find new band names inspired by concepts related to information technology here at Respond2, let’s talk about Systems Administrators. There’s a reason why systems administrators have the reputation of being hard-nosed, inflexible jerks who control your company’s information infrastructure.

Choosing a band name: Apache Graceful

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008
In the ongoing crusade to find new band names inspired by concepts related to information technology here at Respond2, let’s talk about the Apache Web server. In the mid-1990s, most folks who wanted to host a website used one piece of software to serve web pages—the National Center for Supercomputing Applications’ “httpd” software. It was [...]

Choosing a band name: The Janitors of Subversion

Thursday, December 6th, 2007
Rock band names should be somehow cryptically reflective of real life. This is the first part of a short series of descriptive band names for a systems administrator at Respond2 New Media. Back when I was a kid in grade school we had a custodian we called “Archie.” First impressions of Archie were always a [...]

Should we be hosting websites for our clients?

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007
Short answer: it depends on the service and the client. Cookie-cutter sites are generally best hosted externally, while custom jobs are better off hosted internally. My rowing-crazy brother bought a hand-made, mahogany racing shell from a Canadian woodworker in the late 80s. I still remember him telling the story of how he gingerly strapped it to [...]

Should we be blogging?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007
For the last three years, it seems that every web marketer within earshot has been saying the word “blog” about 15 times a day. And yes, your crotchety system administrator (that’s me) is embarrassed when people use phrases like “technological innovation” to describe blogs, spouting other things like “this has never been done before.” How [...]

Hey, where’d the geeks go?

Monday, October 8th, 2007
… And who are these posers all over television wearing thick, black-rimmed glasses and enjoying their PDAs so publicly? Oh, wait, they’re models – these people were the kids who were popular in junior high, now dressing up as the kids they ignored at the school dances. Um, okay, so now it’s cool to be a [...]

Free to Work

Thursday, September 6th, 2007
Here’s a strange job interview question: “If you were told by your supervisor that you couldn’t use a certain piece of software due to license restrictions, what would your response be?” I’ve actually been asked this question twice in two different interviews. It’s a question formulated to weed out anybody who might be disappointed that they can’t [...]
