schestowitz"It is strange that he's says Microsoft tools will write code that works under Mac or GNU/Linux but that there's no demand for those tools. He can't really have it both ways but I'm about as interested in Microsoft's non free development tools as I am in a week old McDonalds burger. "Nov 13 02:29

TechrightsSocial@Florian Mueller (fosspatents)'s status on Saturday, 12-Nov-11 20:16:05 UTC - Identi.ca: @schestowitz Your insults are sometimes downright crazy. What's the factual basis for calling me a "crook"? What crooked thing did I ever doNov 13 11:39
TechrightsSocial@Florian Mueller (fosspatents)'s status on Saturday, 12-Nov-11 20:17:59 UTC - Identi.ca: @schestowitz Yesterday before the Samsung-Apple court session, lawyers from *both* camps told me how well-researched they find my blog.Nov 13 11:39
TechrightsSocial@Florian Mueller (fosspatents)'s status on Saturday, 12-Nov-11 20:19:30 UTC - Identi.ca: @schestowitz That, of course, belies your claim that I'm a "charlatan". Professionals value my work. Uninformed people dismiss it.Nov 13 11:40

schestowitzPeople who judge others by money./belonging as though it helps evaludate a person rather than ethics, freedom, etc.Nov 13 15:34
schestowitzSo eventually they manage to 'convert' -- through peer pressure -- more people into that cultNov 13 15:35

schestowitz"Nov 13 17:17
schestowitz> In the attachment you will find the Stats I have been following for almost aNov 13 17:17
schestowitz> year and have been very disappointed. Your Stats show ten times the amountNov 13 17:17
schestowitz> of traffic, so you have made my day.Nov 13 17:17
schestowitz> Nov 13 17:17
schestowitz> But why the wild difference?Nov 13 17:17
schestowitzAs I explained about a year ago (and tried to repeat in the context of AWstats-derived data), measuring traffic is a tricky thing for more reasons that I can fit in an E-mail. In one site of mine it's further complicated by cache/proxy, which means that some of my visitors read pages without even being detectable. The important thing is, there is an audience. More than 99% of bloggers write to just a handful of people and Nov 13 17:17
schestowitzsoon give up (they find excuses for why they stopped). For me, I haven't checked stats since around 2007. They became a distraction and they did nothing to improve what I produced. Rather than ego trips they can sometimes be disappointment, so why bother spending time watching them? Any time spent watching some numbers can instead be spent writing an insightful post, knowing that more than 1 person will read it. :-)Nov 13 17:17
