Card tricks

Jay Cross

Back in the push era, I scanned cards and maintained a mailing list. I’m jettisoning six years of business cards. So many people I met once and never saw again. Now that I’m into pull, I figure people will find me if they need me. No reason to bug them with spam.

Hacked: A Descent into the Malware Inferno

Jay Cross

I was frantically scanning files on jaycross.com and internettime.com, the sites that seems to be generating the error messages. They have a free malware scanning tool at Sucuri.net. My associate Paul Simbeck-Hampson got on the case, feeding me information on malware he found on the net. Needles in haystacks. This was going nowhere.

For example, we’d walk through the Informal Learning blog to look at an RSS feed, an internal search engine, scanning the 100 most recent posts, a Creative Commons license, and so on. Time after time in my recent workshops on web-enabled informal learning, I found myself using my own sites as examples of learning technologies.

Six topics for the price of one

Jay Cross

Brian Dusablon turned me on to a WordPress plug-in that scans your site and calls out slow plug-ins. Do I have to do manual backups? I’ll talk with Apple about this but I am going back to Dropbox. Pokey Plug-ins. Called P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler), it’s free and it works. Quiet , the power of introverts.

More Kindling

Jay Cross

There's no way to scan for illustrations. If I'm bored, I jump ahead. Kindle doesn't accommodate these functions well. Jumping to major sections requires returning to the top menu. Riffing through the pages isn't an option. In lieu of yellow highlighting, Kindle lets me embed comments. I find this less visceral.
