Prove it:

April 19, 2000 by Michael Boyle

I don’t support the crap that “hackers” or “crackers” get up to – but with the questionable arrest of mafiaboy (a Montrealer, btw), I just want to ask the authorities to demonstrate how a short outage cost companies “hundreds of millions of dollars.”

I got the cam

April 19, 2000 by Michael Boyle

back up and running… I used to run it 24/7 as a video stream, but then we put in a firewall and I quit. But it seems to fit on this here blog, so – back in business. I’m not 100% convinced it’s going to stay yet though.

Notice the exposed brick, by the way. A webwerks trademark, I think.

Mikal.org: This could be confusing! But that’s OK, it’ll work out. Blogger must be really popular to have two such similar addresses both on board.

Contradiction:

April 19, 2000 by Michael Boyle

While Dr Dre and Metallica are both talking about suing Napster, record company people are starting to get it. Wired News reports that the majors are going to offer downloadable music in a big way this summer. Quote: “Although the recording industry has complained that some services that offer downloadable online music violate copyright laws and cut into a label’s profits, company sales actually are up.”

It’s promising in one way, but the article is also pretty depressing, because the contradiction between Metallica/Napster and what the labels are planning to do indicates that the artists are probably going to be squeezed by this whole thing.
