Can a Customer take their IP’s with them? (Court says yes!)

Can a Customer take their IP’s with them?

Exerpt:

There has been a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued by state court that customers may take non-portable IP space with them when they leave their provider. Important to realize: THIS TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER HAS BEEN GRANTED, AND IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED. THERE IS AN ABILITY TO DISSOLVE IT, AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO.

This is a complicated issue and is not as straightforward as the above message seems to insinuate. A colleague comments:

I am following this. It is not as simple as it seems, and in fact two things have not been pointed out yet. a) NAC is being compensated for this. b) As the court affidavit points out, NAC has previous history of blackmailing the client.

Just came back from a great presentation by Sam Greenblatt of Computer Associates

He was very charismatic but I felt that he chanted the Open Source thing too much. I use Open Source everyday, what does it mean for CA? His topic was CA’s use of Plone and its integration into their management tools.

And Sam needs to blog!

Had a Great Weekend

Posted on by

As I mentioned on Thursday, I was out camping this weekend. We had great weather, the food turned out well (except for the pancakes, which were terrible) and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Notes: 1. maple syrup 1. more oil 1. bannock works, experiment with it

I really need to get a digital camera.

As it is important for us all to notice, particulary those far too young to remember, that today is an important date in human history; please take a moment to reflect.

Pulver on Mesh

Posted on by

Jeff Pulver is meeting with people from LocustWorld: The Jeff Pulver Blog: Wireless Mess for VoIP… I can’t wait to hear what he has to say. Mesh networking is one of the most disruptive technologies on the horizon. I has the potential to really empower us all.

So Jeff, please take the time to write down your thoughts on this! (And, BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation in Ottawa.)

Going Canoeing

I’m off tomorrow morning for what I’m sure will be a terrific weekend of relaxation!

My good friends, Cristina and I are headed to Gatineau Park. Lac Lapêche has great canoe accessible sites.

Just finished preparing all the grub. It is going to be good! Got my Bannock mix ready. :-)

Now coming to you from WordPress

Posted on by

After some deliberation, I’ve settled on WordPress for my blogging needs. It mostly came down to ease of use, since I realized that I simply was not producing anything of interest and that the smoothest solution would help this.

On my list of additions is still a Wiki, with integration into my blog posts. Any ideas?
