| schestowitz__ | "URGENT: Crime in our building | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Dear RMG/Urban Splash, | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | I am writing regarding a very serious matter which seems more serious | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | now that the police reports gunshots near our apartment in Christabel. | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Yesterday my wife was assaulted inside our building, Christabel. Two | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | young boys stalked her in the elevator and then followed her to the | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | bin room. When she entered they locked her inside and propped the door | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | locked with a broom. She yelled for help and a nearby neighbour came | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | to the ground floor and scared the boys away after they had admitted | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | they did not even live in the building. | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | My wife was horrified. | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | A couple of hours later we both saw two dodgy-looking people in their | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | 40s or 50s hanging about in a nearby apartments building (marionette) | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | waiting to be demolished. Their behaviour could be described as odd | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | and we thought about calling the police though saying two people are | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | "up to no good" is a spurious complaint (the police would not | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | appreciate it). I had other menacing incidents like this in the paste, | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | but never a gunshot (domestic violence across the hall, intruder in my | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | house, and the nearby building routinely had ambulances and police | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | vans next to it). At 11pm gunshot was fired at a window (the police | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | confirms this) and this morning the road below us was closed by the | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | police with two vans, including TAU, parked at both ends. One of the | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | guys we saw last night (one of the two dodgy-looking one) was carried | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | to a police van in a wheel chair. The police does not say much about | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | the incident except the gunshots. This is far from reassuring. We now | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | feel unsafe even inside our house. | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | I demand that you investigate all these incidents and inform residents | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | what exactly was happening. If you fail to do so, you are liable and I | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | shall then spread the word about what happened in this area, holding | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | accountable those who are not doing enough to protect the residents | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | (we pay a lot of money for RNG to do so every year). There is a risk | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | to life here and since intruders assaulted my wife inside the building | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | we cannot tolerate this. | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Cooperation with the police has proved useless in the past (in fact it | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | put me at risk because the criminals then perceived me as their | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | enemy), so I am approaching you first. You have extensive CCTV footage | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | inside the building and around it. Given the separation of just 4 | Jun 16 21:49 |
| schestowitz__ | hours between these events there is likelihood that they are relate | Jun 16 21:50 |
| schestowitz__ | and one took place right inside Christabel. | Jun 16 21:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Please do not share my identity with the police (it would most likely | Jun 16 21:50 |
| schestowitz__ | not help as much as my testimony to you). I recently thought about | Jun 16 21:50 |
| schestowitz__ | buying this property, but after these incidents I have other, less | Jun 16 21:50 |
| schestowitz__ | favourable plans. | Jun 16 21:50 |

| roy_ | Just gor a new client: | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | " | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | I'm delighted to hear from you. Last time we properly spoke was before I started my Ph.D. because you gave me advice. Now I work with some British government departments and am very happy with your advice to me (I still have the E-mail you sent me). | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | As a start, here is what I suggest: | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | - Think carefully of the domain name you want for your site. This is a very important decision because changing domains later is a complicated process. Availability of a domain can be checked in the site www.whois.net | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | Make sure the domain is short, memorable, and probably a .com | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | - 'Shop around' for site designs that you fancy. The most important thing is that the site template will be one that suits you. It will be easier for me to design a template by mimicking something in existence. The template can later be refined, enhanced, etc. but the base structure, colours etc. we need to get right from the start. | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | When we have both the above items then we can start working with mockups and put seminal content in. There will be a feedback loop. :-) | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | " | Jun 21 08:00 |
| roy_ | " | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | You told me you want to create a simple website at this time, simply to be in compliance with the new Health Care laws. Then, between the grace period of July 1st and January 2015, when those physicians who offer patients no access to their records will be subject to fines, you will do upgrades. | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | My perception is that a high percentage of your patients will be looking at their records for a multitude of reasons. Furthermore, the old adage..."you can't judge a book by its cover," is a myth, up until the point that they actually get to read the book. | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | People refer to you as "my doctor" and they start judging you "my doctor, " at first by appearances...does he have a classy office, skilled staff, a pleasant personality, modern equipment, an easy to use outstanding website and then, sadly, comes your ability to diagnose his illness, ease his pain and prescribe a pill that ameliorates or cures whatever ails him/her. | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | By now you've guessed that I think you should start with as good a website as possible and the during the next 6 months do your upgrades. | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | A teacher of mine back in middle School used to preach..."Keeping above the average is what keeps the average up!" So, please, don't be Dr. Average | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | " | Jun 21 08:03 |
| roy_ | > I don't know how your website will be finalized to your satisfaction; I imagine there will be a trial sample for you to critique before it's nailed down. If that is so, I would like to have a look at the preview. | Jun 21 08:07 |
| roy_ | > I email Roy at s@schestowitz.com but he may prefer you to send to a different address. You both need to start communicating. | Jun 21 08:07 |

| roy_ | > It looks like an excellent template to build on. | Jun 21 08:15 |
| roy_ | I think it's a site that I saw earlier and from a World Wide Web point of view, it's very 90s-esque. There are many other templates one can build on, choosing usability over clutter. One famous site I can think of is: | Jun 21 08:15 |
| roy_ | http://www.mayoclinic.org/ | Jun 21 08:15 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.mayoclinic.org | Mayo Clinic - Mayo Clinic | Jun 21 08:15 | |
| roy_ | I don't think it's a great design, but it's not bad and it comes across as professional. It's also easy to structure the content around. | Jun 21 08:15 |
| roy_ | It's possible to present the site as a clinic rather than the practitioner to give the impression of magnitude and improve professionalism. | Jun 21 08:15 |
| roy_ | But at the end it's all down to the preference of the practitioner and his/her perception of what the patients (current and prospective) will look upon more kindly. | Jun 21 08:15 |

| roy_ | Yes, the NSA was working a campaign against "hactivists" as terrorists. It was derailed by Snowden, but they will get back to it. "Hactivists" is intended to smear all technically adept activists and to cover technical government attacks on dissent. It is, as Eric Raymond warned 10 years ago, Microsoft working to have all free software outlawed as supporting terrorism. | Jun 21 22:22 |
| roy_ | I also expect a serious effort, backed by several billion dollars in bribe money (oops, excuse me, campaign contributions), to get open-source software outlawed on some kind of theory that it aids terrorists. We can only defeat that by making sure that national governments become so attached to open-source code that their military men and bureaucrats will short-stop the bribed legislators, rather than let their vital infrastructure be | Jun 21 22:22 |
| roy_ | outlawed. | Jun 21 22:22 |
| roy_ | It is not enough to convince government to use free software, we must convince everyone to value their freedom. Government can be convinced that they can simply steal free software and have it maintained by the usual flunkies. We must convince them that the usual flunkies are not up to the task because, that the community will die without freedom and that Soviet style dysfunction will follow such a stupid move. | Jun 21 22:22 |
