Good luck again.

The workaround is using 127.0.0.1 of course, or editing /etc/hosts or (in windows) c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to give yourself a hostname.

If you are trying to experiment with tattertools, I would strongly recommend tistory. It’s a service run by daum (daum.net), which offers free tattertools (with unlimited traffic and unlimited storage). Another strong advantage is that you can use your own domain name instead of ugly tistory.com (example: http://trivial.tistory.com, which has a nice design). For example, you can see mine: http://blog.koreanjurist.com. The only thing you need to do is edit your A NAME (my case) or C NAME in your DNS server.

The service is currently beta, and you need an invitation. If interested, just drop me an email. I’ll be happy to invite you to the tistory.

Good luck! It’s not known as one of the greatest or most efficient blogging tools in the world.

Thanks for the comment.

No doubt, about getting medieval on their arses with the battering rams.

Until the traffic cops get smarter and given more enforcement authority than their current robocop status, drivers will continue disobeying them and their laws.

Thanks for the link in from my blog - just one small thing: I certainly agree with you that it’s structural – I would never say that Koreans are genetically risk-averse…hope that’s clear. I’m a structuralist, not an essentialist.

And I think the main problem is lack of support for good ideas, lack of respect for the genius and chutzpah of brash, young ideas, as well as a general feeling that stable is better – a bird in the hand (and money in the bank) is better than two in the bush (and the slim possibility of big riches).

So kids might get good ideas (although the education system tends to work overtime to beat the individuality out of its students), but they’d literally have to be crazy to drop out of school or take a part-time job to get the time to execute their ideas.

And even if they were brash, one can only be told for so long that your behavior is selfish, imprudent, impudent, or just plain “crazy” over and over. So the smart people try to get a “good” job and buy that apartment, get ready to start saving money for the cost of having kids, etc.

And if you’re 30 and a bright kid witha bright idea, but no money in the bank, you’re a pretty dim prospect for marriage (as a guy). And yeah, we won’t even get into the waste of time and breaker of the spirit that compulsory military service is in Korea.

Whew.”

Jun Lee pointed me to Michael Hurt’s blog article, The Mis-execution of Korean UCC. Michael points out that although Korea has had arguably the best broadband infrastructure since circa 1999, the country failed to produce Youtube. This led him to an obs..

First time here. You have a good point. I use and encourage my client’s to use del.icio.us to discover new ideas. Hey, you never know what you’ll uncover reading tags/bookmarks.

How differently ‘management-attack’ blogs are being regarded in the U.S. versus Canada. The tolerance of a blog highly critical of management at the secretive Los Alamos National Labs makes Calgary Police Chief Jack Beaton’s overbearing moves to squelc…
