What You See and What You Get When You Follow Me

May 28, 2019 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Social media ought to be social, not just a broadcast platform. That's my feeling at least. It's been a while since I've ranted about "write-only" social media accounts, so I thought I might as well do it again. And at the same time, I thought I would update you on my promise to the people who read, follow, and interact with me online. Don't Be Anti-Social It's easy to … [Read more...] about What You See and What You Get When You Follow Me

Regarding My Symbolic Links and Good Reads

April 16, 2015 By Stephen 2 Comments

A question came up today about something I've been doing for years but never adequately explained. In addition to this blog (which contains long-form articles written by me), I also maintain two other link blogs: Symlinks.Tumblr.Com is my collection of interesting tech articles, and SFoskett.Tumblr.Com is for non-technical "Good Reads". Symbolic Links In UNIX file systems, a … [Read more...] about Regarding My Symbolic Links and Good Reads

Top VMware Blogs 2014: How I Voted

February 25, 2014 By Stephen 2 Comments

And once again, I didn't base my votes on their begs or my own hunches. Follow along as I explain how I actually voted and why I think you should use the same mechanism. And no, I'm not going to say who I … [Read more...] about Top VMware Blogs 2014: How I Voted

Twitter’s Anti-Client Moves Aren’t Crazy (But It’s a Stupid Strategy)

October 5, 2012 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Has Twitter gone nuts? They've spent the year blocking the most popular third-party applications and restricting user access, all the while limiting the features of their own applications. What are they thinking? It seems a calculated move to drive users toward their website, but in this age of mobile, that just might be the stupidest thing a company could … [Read more...] about Twitter’s Anti-Client Moves Aren’t Crazy (But It’s a Stupid Strategy)

Why I’m Supporting Twitter Competitor App.Net, Even Though It Will Fail

August 8, 2012 By Stephen 1 Comment

Twitter has some serious critical mass behind it. Honestly, it's unstoppable. So why did I just pledge actual money to support App.Net, a competing project that will most certainly fail? Because twitter is too important a communication channel to leave to Twitter, Inc. And they need to hear from us, the users, before they destroy their service. A Sad Old Story It's the … [Read more...] about Why I’m Supporting Twitter Competitor App.Net, Even Though It Will Fail
