Gee, was I thrilled when I first realized that, by learning some HTML and buying a modem, I could publish anything I wanted to. Not only could I publish it, but people would see it and respond. My God, those were heady days.
Eleven years I've been pecking away at this page, and boy are my frontal lobes tired.
Every day I think about you and what I want to tell you. There's so much I still want you to know. But work and family enfold me in an octopus grip. When I finally put two free hours together, updating zeldman.com is not necessarily how I want to spend them.
How about you? Still blogging? Still all fired up about it?

The question is: Why are you blogging?
If you have a reason to blog, one probably won't get tired of it.
I write stories. That's why I blog. I also occasionally post my opinion on things. But mostly I write stories.
Why do you blog, Jeffery?
Andy said on 29 September 2006 at 4:51 pm:
After 4 years, I'm still blogging, but not as often. And I have to admit that usually I'd rather be doing something else like being with my family. It makes me feel better to know that you–whom I've looked up to for a long time–feel the same way.
Rob Weychert said on 29 September 2006 at 4:53 pm:
I know exactly how you feel, except that I probably have far more opportunity to scrape together some free time than you do, and I still can't manage to keep my site updated with any regularity. Blah(g).
Jared Joven said on 29 September 2006 at 4:54 pm:
I can relate. My personal 'blog' (I really dislike that term) keeps coming and going. Sometimes I host it on my own domain or use a service like Xanga but it does become hard to figure out what to write and if, at the end of the day, it means anything.
But what you do compared to a great many others is provide an invaluable service. I don't believe in a heaven or a hell and that immortality is only reached in by how many lives you have effected in a positive manner and you do that for a great many people in this industry.

Eleven years here, too. I wanted to change the world. I'd like to to think that I've at least changed a few minds.
When I think about the three years during which I actually made an effort – before Mom passed away – I realize that I wrote more to remind myself that I had a mind and talents of my own, and that the hopefulness I'd mustered wasn't a waste of energy. Living with a parent who suffers from a bona fide mental illness will take you there… and helplessly watching her decline was antipodean to my love for this medium, because I never would've gotten into it if she hadn't shown me which path to take, given me my early access to the technology so that I'd be comfortable with it when my turn finally came.
Since then I try to keep my own counsel until I'm certain that I have something genuinely important to say. Questions asked of one's Maker, and of one's own psyche, settle to a dull roar when repeated too often… even when they're well-disguised.
P.S. Thanks for the thoughts you shared in your previous entry.
P.P.S. Sometimes I miss the orange.
Geoffrey Sneddon said on 29 September 2006 at 5:00 pm:
My rate of blogging has slowed down massively, partly due to being ill and just really not having anything worthwhile blogging happening, which has left me struggling to do just one post a month.
daniel said on 29 September 2006 at 5:03 pm:
We miss you.
We miss your glamorous life, we miss posts about something other than conferences, we miss the jeffrey who had time to talk random shit about the industry, punk, standards & cool shit he saw in the street.
But Mrs. Zeldman and ickle Zeldman deserve you far more than we do. Much love.
Ian Fenn said on 29 September 2006 at 5:19 pm:
I feel exactly the same. I've got so much I could write about Chinese food and how to order GREAT Chinese food but at the end of a busy day I've rarely been finding the strength. Perhaps its age. I wasn't like this ten years ago.
Tony Ballinger said on 29 September 2006 at 5:27 pm:
I have to admit, last year I wasn't still fired up about it, but this year I am again. Between all the books, research and blogs, I feel like collectively we're really starting to understand what we've been doing for 10 years. And now with a new generation of devices that will be browsing the web in unexpected ways, it's a whole new world again. But yes, time is short. It's a trick to not get sucked into things that fritter away your time, and keep your eyes and soul on the things that matter.
Kate said on 29 September 2006 at 5:32 pm:
I love my blog. I sneak peeks at it during the workday, hoard links to post, think about it quite a lot. But yeah, having vowed to update the beast daily during the week, I am feeling the chains of the blogosphere (especially when 11pm rolls around and I have yet to post). So I'm still all fired up, but I am coming to appreciate more and more the blogless weekend.
Dan Century said on 29 September 2006 at 5:35 pm:
I still dig it. It's still a better alternative to clogging my friend's inboxes with links, photos and videos. I try not to spend more than a few hours on my sites per week. The age of spending hour after hour on personal sites and non-rent paying ventures is over for me. That said, I'm glad people like Roger Johansson, John Kricfalusi and X-Y-Z-Cosmonaut continually churn out excellent content.

I would blog, but my old host SQL tables do not work with my new host's SQL tables. That's a little too technical for me and it's a big headache.
Michael said on 29 September 2006 at 5:47 pm:
I've kept my current regular blog going since September of 2003. I don't post anything of great significance but I do still post. I also recently started posting to a Blogger page just for kicks. Same stuff only more inconsequential.
Andrew said on 29 September 2006 at 6:11 pm:
Funny enough, I retired my blog a while ago and just minutes ago while skimming my rss I thought about reviving it.
Michał Stempień said on 29 September 2006 at 6:17 pm:
Been trying to start a blog for about 2 years now… and there always something that keeps me away. Time management seems to be my problem, but I just can't imagine how you bloggers deal with working, publishing and private living.
George said on 29 September 2006 at 6:20 pm:
Totally fired up, but feeling wisful, for the time when I had time to sit down and write. [the never ending topic of] Global warming needs what I have to say! But I haven't written much since I decided not to write online about my divorce or my love life, and after all what can I say about my PaKua classes? I don't have that much time to read at the moment and what I have written online is mostly my reading. So, 'nuff said. Winter's coming on, it's time for indoor cookies and new recipes. Send me one and I'll try it out. I liked Sam Harris's new book "Letter to a Christian Nation" and I started reading Taylor Branch's books about Martin Luther King Jr. As soon as I find time, I"l write them both up.
Paul R. Redmond said on 29 September 2006 at 6:42 pm:
I am one who would rather read a powerful piece (or announcement) once a month, than hearing the everyday stuff consistently. Just one of the reasons you're blog is in my feed reader. Quantity posting will always loose to quality posting in my book.
Just wondering when that "announcement" will be An Event Apart: Phoenix ;0)
impactEDnurse said on 29 September 2006 at 7:03 pm:
I know absolutely nix about the industry you circumvent Mr Zeldman, but I do know that it was by stumbling on your writings many years ago, I first was inspired to unravel the mysteries of HTML and construct my own website. Thanks for that.
Its all just ripples in a pond.
spinhead said on 29 September 2006 at 7:18 pm:
I started my online blathering about music 3.5 years ago. Oddly, it's not my family situation which has ever affected how much I write, it's always been work. As I head toward self-employment again, my mind turns more and more toward my various weblogs and how much fun they'll be once again.
Kim Krause Berg said on 29 September 2006 at 7:25 pm:
Eleven years on the 'Net, groups/clubs/forums owner and now blogger (4 years)…married with kids. Yep. I relate too. I work from home, however. The blog is sorta like my old cubicle-buddies I could talk outloud to, but there was that wall between me and them. The blog lets me feel like there's someone to chat with, only the voice is always inside my own head. I check feeds daily to see what the buzz is and sometimes find something to respond to, via my blog, to join in the "conversation". It's virtual, but vital all the same. It took a long time for me to learn there is "internet time" and it only has the rules I assign to it. That means family time gets more of me, and low and behold, the blog and other web stuff is still there, just where I left it.
Tim Griffiths said on 29 September 2006 at 7:32 pm:
I started my blog to keep in touch with friends and family while I was travelling. Four years later, I have a son and a new job and very little spare time. I realised I was making an average of one or two posts every two or three months. Bits of my site were broken and remained broken because I would rather spend time with my family than fix the site. So I've retired from blogging for now. For me, its perhaps not so much that writing things down is not still important, just less important than some other things.

Do what you really want, you don't necessarily have to listen to us (:
Randy said on 29 September 2006 at 8:31 pm:
I haven't made a blog post in a long time. I think about it sometimes, but I just really don't have anything to say. Plus I was never that good of a writer anyway and other people can say things much more better than me.
I too have been creating for the Web since back in 1997 when we used some family savings to buy a used computer and get free 100 hours of AOL. I have been reading your site since close to then as well, and I had already started my family before I even got on this internet.
I've met you once at a Web DC conf, and I've seen you in passing a the past couple SXSW, and there is one thing I've always wanted to ask but never did. Do you think that you would have still accomplished everything that you have, if you would have had your family first?

Jason Wall said on 29 September 2006 at 11:32 pm:
6 years for me, and i still love it, though I post a very different kind of content than when I first started. Mostly, I post poetry, or some form of short writing similar to pictures, and photography.
Andrew said on 30 September 2006 at 1:40 am:
Maybe a horrid year in a new relationship cooled the blogging fires, or maybe I just lost that salty taste of blood. Today, my personal site is just a repository for my portfolio, a place I can point recruiters as I tumble endlessly from one job to the next. It even got me to Microsoft, but now I'm sick of that, too. It's time for a new career—one not involving the web—and you'll hear of me again before it's over.
You're my favorite item in a truly unordered list.
Hanan Cohen said on 30 September 2006 at 3:12 am:
Somehow, the name David Siegel (http://www.highfive.com/) pops into my mind. He was here a long time ago but then decided that he needed the time for himself. So he quit his public writing. Nothing bad about it.
Will you lose business if you quit writing here? Will you lose reputation? What will happend to your sense of responsibility to the Web?
Those are the questions I am asking myself and mabybe you should too.
If you stop updating, I will not be sad. It will be a good sign that you have found what you thought would be almost impossible ten years ago.
jeremy said on 30 September 2006 at 3:57 am:
There are whole weeks, occasionally even a month or more, where i just can't stand the thought of working on my site. But the stimulus always rears its beautiful head. I'm working on my ~8th redesign in six years, my second this year. And although I may not always have something to say, I always end up saying something eventually.
It's a macrorhythmic thing, y'know?

I remember about 10 years ago sitting in a University lab and realising just what the interent meant. I still think it is a staggering invention and I'm loving every minute of watching it grow and evolve. I've still got bags of energy and I get more from seeing how other people use their imaginations and most importantly share what they know.
Blogging is central to that philosophy so I'm all over it.
Mau said on 30 September 2006 at 7:23 am:
I love to blog, I have been blogging periodically since Spring of 2005.
I think it is an awesome tool, and it has indeed impacted people's lives.
Truth is that my blog is mostly visited by family members, and it is obviously not even close to a hundredth of the daily visits that Zeldman, Kottke, Mason, or Armstrong get, I wish…
It is hard to keep up with the postings. Last week I got yelled at (by my dad) because I hadn't posted anything in 2 weeks… I've been super busy at work, I almost done with my quarter at school (final paper), and it sometimes is hard to find a few minutes to post something, and it is hard when you try to post something meaningful (which is hardest thing in the first place).
However, I am not discouraged, I just really really admire people that keep up with the posting, and I thank them for giving me inspiration, and the many times you give me something very good to read.
I like blogs, and I will keep posting.
Eduard Hlava said on 30 September 2006 at 7:24 am:
Hi Mr. Zeldman, hi the others here.
I started writting my blog four years ago, for four long years I've been thinking what I should write. Really should I? No! No once again. I write a new post when I want. This is the first thing I want to say. Blogging should not be an obligation. Never.
Second – I write about my life, politics, about web stuff, about a manager life, sometimes i write a poetry. Briefly, I write only about the things I want to write about (BUT – see below). Nobody forces me to write about any… Why? My blog is a niche of my freedom.
Third – it's not so easy, of course. I want to be a loyal (a little bit :-) to my superiors, my friends etc. So I can't write about everything I feel. It is a bit annoying, you know. I can't write about nonexisting professionalism in our company, about wrong HR, I can't write about dozens funny stories with our customers, providers etc. etc. 'cause these things are not public affairs. Unfortunately. I thing this could be the most interesting stories I could have at my blog. But – does a way how to describe these things exist and keep it simultaneously in secret? I've not found the right way. But still looking for.
And finaly – I can't write anonymously (if so, i could write probably about the things I mentioned above and I can't nowadays), because I'd like to be seen.:-) It's egoistic a little bit, but It's one good way how to present myself, my work.
You see, there are a lot of reasons why do a blog. The life's changing, but the blog persisting.
stu said on 30 September 2006 at 8:55 am:
Blogging has lost all appeal for me, its great getting others views, but when your an average joe (me), your opinions and views only get read by you!
Therefore I blog no more.
But I do come to zeldman.com every few days to check you views, as the views of you, meyer and shea do make for interesting reading.
Lucian said on 30 September 2006 at 9:21 am:
I started blogging in early 2000 because I was suffering from a terrible bout of the flu and thought I was going to die alone in my dorm room during Martin Luther King weekend. Somehow I found energy between the episodes of back spasms to learn HTML, probably because I felt the primal need to leave some mark of myself – so people would know that I was here, and that I existed.
Now 7 years later, I continue to write candidly, though I wonder if I should have been more focused in my blogging, like Doug Bowman or Dan Cederholm, whose posts center primarily around design.
I may not draw the masses or write intelligently about any particular area of expertise, but I take consolation that one day, when I am grey, it is the life experiences that I'd want to remember and not the professional knowledge which would have then become obsolete.
Thanks Jeffrey, for being part of my life as a blogger and one of my greatest inspirations.
brad said on 30 September 2006 at 9:47 am:
When blogging started getting popular, it reminded me of the CB radio craze in the 1970s. Millions of people back then bought CB radios for their cars, but discovered after a few months that they had little to say beyond "10-4, good buddy, what's your 20?" In many respects the blogging fad is similar, with three big differences: 1) your potential audience is much bigger, 2) what you say is preserved, instead of disappearing instantly into the ether, and 3) a few hundred, possibly a few thousand, of the bloggers out there have things to say that are worth reading.
The best thing that has happened to blogging is the gradual acceptance of the fact that bloggers need not post every day, nor even every week. Unless you're a brilliantly gifted writer, only your mother and a few of your closest friends will want to read you every day. Better to stay quiet until you really have something to say, and then spend a few days, weeks, or even months working on how best to say it.
Rob Mientjes said on 30 September 2006 at 10:30 am:
I blog because I still have fun doing so. I get to write down my thoughts and it's open to anyone, as opposed to writing for magazines and all that. I get a chance to entertain someone somewhere, sometimes a year, by writing something. I think that's enough of a reason.

I've had a site since 1998. Blogged for five years, gave it up, may soon resume. It's good practice writing and I miss it.
Hanan, with the rise of Web Standards David Siegel became a heretic, though he seemed to give up on highfive.com before the movement. It's been interesting to watch this industry push practice into doctrine over the years.

Hi Jeff,
Dont Loose your passion,
even though 11 years is along time,
the occasional grey hair happens,
but the days and nights are full, my boys are now teenagers…
I feel the same way but then again i will also spend time i dont have, log-lurking and writing things that touch on small peices of what i do ( hd1080i.com ) leaving a trail of not yet done stuff that seems to go on and on …
And i still enjoy the view http://www.dsmj.net/gallery/album01/1viewIMG_1032

Thanks for keepin on, hopefully next time i'm in NYC i can catch up to you,

Hey Jefferey, your entry back in September '99 "if the great movies had been websites" made me think about the whole purpose of blogging and in my entry "what am I blogging for?" back in '02 my style of blogging dramatically changed as the audience that mattered became only my close friends and relatives.
After having 2 kids and trying to make ends meet in Singapore, i'm still fired up about web standards, web design, etc. But my family will always come first.
Have an enjoyable life. The internet don't need you as much as your family needs you. ;)

[...] I'm not quite sure what to think, but I'm writing to you because my wife is off shooting another wedding, and I need to talk about this. When I got up this morning I did the usual: poured some hot coffee, skimmed the headlines in the local paper that I will never stop wishing my beloved dog would have gone out to fetch for me, and then rattled my new Mighty Mouse to wake up my working life. My personalized Google page gave me a quick glance at last night's Red Sox score, some more worldly headlines, and a notification there was a new post over at zeldman.com. Which is where I stopped for the moment, clicked the title of the post, Blagh, and continued on to read what he had to say today. [...]

When I started out blogging 5 years ago, I had this idea that I was somehow obligated to update the page on a regular basis, but that's because I was blogging for all the wrong reasons, like wanting to be famous like that Zeldman-guy ;) Basically I was writing what I thought people would find interesting, and a few years later I lost interest in updating my blog.
When I took up blogging again, it was mainly to get an outlet for all my thoughts and I missed writing. Now I update my blog when I feel like I have something interesting to share with people, and if no-one cares, that's fine. I write because I feel like it and more importantly: when I feel like it.

11 years? Is that all? Kids these days….
If blogging had started back when I was working on Teletypes with 150 baud acoustic modems timesharing on some mainframe somewhere, then I could regale you with the true trials and tribulations of what it meant to spend copious amounts of time translating thoughts to bits … but it didn't, so I can't. Been there, couldn't do that yet.
So, I guess all I can say would be to paraphraze something from a movie that came out around the time we upgraded to the 300 baud acoustics using the dot-matrix DECwriters:
I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the blog.
Mike Cherim said on 1 October 2006 at 4:38 am:
I blog because I still have lots to say. As I write this comment I have nine drafts in my blog. Some are awaiting completion while others are done and I'm just waiting for the last one to be digested before posting a new one. I like to wait at the very least a few days between publishing my thoughts. A side-effect of this self-enforced delay, though, is my thinking continues while my drafts continue to pile up. After eleven years, though… whew, I can just image the old well starting to dry up. ;-)
Jack said on 1 October 2006 at 7:53 am:
I had a technical problem with my server at the beginning of August and haven't yet bothered to fix it – to be honest, not being able to post to my weblog for a couple of months (after nigh on six years) is thoroughly refreshing. When I do get the sit up and running again, I suspect I'll be posting twice a day to make up for lost time.
A lot of people seem to find themselves drifting away, though – I have a folder in my feed reader titled Gone? for largely dormant weblogs, all of which were regularly updated for years on end.
Alex Balaboshko said on 1 October 2006 at 8:36 am:
I am doing lots of different things. But I have half an hour for reading RSS news reserved every day. It's simple: when I come over something interesting, I note it and move forward. When I have 5 interesting thoughts, I sit down and make my own vision of these things. That's the most primitive way of blogging, yet rather interesting one.
It's nice to know that there's a place on the WWW, where you can go and read what wise and experienced people write. Sure, there are lots of wonderful blogs, but your is among them. It's not so easy to publish regularly, but it's encouraging practice, I believe.
Thank you.
Fish Sauce said on 1 October 2006 at 10:40 am:
I'm still blogging, although I'm not particularly fired up by it anymore. I still have a lot to say, but my absolutely ridiculous level of financial insecurity makes me feel irresponsible when I spend my time on projects (like my blog) that won't bring me any money. It's difficult to stay motivated when making ends meet takes up most of your waking life.
Part of me thinks that this is the really big distinction in the digital divide; those of us who are hardcore into online communities and the "blogosphere" (I hate that word so much) tend to believe that if folks not into just had the opportunity or the money to be involved that they would, but I'm not so sure. I think that the more of your energy has to go into survival the less value you might find in something unrelated. I know that it's slowly happening to me. The more I find I have to focus on getting enough to eat the less interest I have in the entire community and its goals, or even what value it has as a community and a passtime.
Merc said on 1 October 2006 at 3:37 pm:
Something has to give. Sometimes that something is blogging. I've been neck-deep into the internet for over 10 years; and while I still love it, sometimes it must take a backseat to other things in my life. My blog goes through cycles of postings and evolutions of content — which I believe is just how the medium goes.
sacha said on 1 October 2006 at 5:00 pm:
I know exactly what you mean. Once you have a family it settles in that nothing else matters, and that the most fulfilling way to spend your time is to feel the happiness of your child laughing, and hugging you. Even changing their nappy.
I used to be a printer of limited edition hand printed lithographs, and for years I believed in it like a religion. The finest printer I've known though put it in perspective for me once as I was freaking out about difficult artists and runny ink- "Its only ink on paper." he said. I often feel like I need to tell myself the same thing about this- they are only pixels on a screen.
However, I appreciate what you do, and I thank you. It was my plumber who told me about zeldman.com many years back – not any of the web teachers I had.
I grew up in DC, and I saw you in your other life playing with the insect surfers, I can't remember where. Maybe Fort Reno. It was several life times ago.
Rachel Andrew said on 1 October 2006 at 5:12 pm:
I know the feeling – with the additional complication that my daughter is now 9, she has her own online life and I don't feel right talking about her on my blog. She now searches for things I write about and tells me what she thinks! That and just life keeping me busy means I don't write as much.
However, it's still wonderful to see through your blog and others how our lives have developed in one way or another, how we have grown up with this medium charting our days. I started learning HTML with a baby on my knee because I was bored and lonely and wanted to communicate, and putting up a website was how you communicated with the rest of the web back then. How much has changed in the last decade, yet the need for communication is still there – in 2006 we can do that via a photostream or podcast instead of a blog or personal site, I think that has changed things.
There's probably the start of something I should post on my blog right there! Sometimes my blog becomes a source of guilt – I should post – perhaps I need to think about what i want to post there now that life has changed, and then I might feel a bit more inspired!
Patrick said on 1 October 2006 at 6:33 pm:
I never really "got" the whole blogging thing. When I started experimenting with the Internet back in 1997 it struck me as something that could be used the move the folk process into an interesting new level. Back in the early 80's when I was just starting out on the guitar the only way to learn anything new was to hunt down some old coot and badger him to show you a chord, bass run or a song. With this whole world wide web thingamabob there was the possibility of taking that one-on-one experience and expanding it into something huge.
So I bought a computer, got connected to the web and started trying to figure out ways to teach five-string banjo and guitar with this new technology.
It worked.
Sort of.
Two years ago my hearing, which never was anything to write home about, started to deteriorate and I started using my web site as a tool to archive what I know about music in a format that anybody could use and access.
I still post new workshops every week, still reach a downright scary number of people every week and I have yet to run into trouble with writers block because I'm still trying to condense a lifetime of experience into a usable archive.

i'm only an eight year novice, but the fact i'm blogging and the way i'm blogging is all down to a man called jeffrey. busy and brilliant as he is any updates, conferences, thoughts or insights are all welcomed.
i'm lucky in that my audience is back home, whilst i'm living over the wrong side of the timeline. but even then there are days when nothing interesting happens. who does something news worthy every day? i know plenty of people who think they do – but who actually does.
keep on keeping on jeffrey!

I found comment spam more discouraging than anything else so far.
Ara Pehlivanian said on 2 October 2006 at 1:10 am:
I hear ya. Sometimes real world responsibilities just distract from blogging altogether. At times I'm able to post regularly and even work out a new design for my blog. Other times, I'll go weeks hardly thinking about it. In the final equation, family is more important and will benefit much more from the time you spend with them than us folks in the ether.
Ken said on 2 October 2006 at 1:42 am:
I can understand the difficulties of balancing work, family, blogging and other projects, but at the same time we should consider ourselves lucky. We can blog from home, maybe take a break and spend time with the family if even for a few minutes, even work from home and spend what used to be smoke breaks as family breaks. I have started to see this as a blessing more than a curse, how many other professions get this type of flexibilty? Sure we may work more hours than most when you add it all up, but we have some freedom regarding when and where this work takes place. I tend to get more work done late at night when the rest of the family is asleep, sure I have to get up early, but gives me the perfect chance/excuse to spend time with my favorite client during my lunch break, taking a nap with my 2 year old son.
Egor Kloos said on 2 October 2006 at 3:12 am:
I've been blogging for a while (1998) and I'm starting to feel it. The engergy has left me and I find it dificult to get going again. Maybe that's why my site has been down for a few months now.
My focus towards web standards has been fun but in life in my work around me I see very little change. It's like pushing a very reluctant donkey up a mountain. Maybe I should just give up, maybe the donkey will follow. It's all I'm prepared to hope for.
Michael Wood said on 2 October 2006 at 4:35 am:
The giddy rush of first using what we learned to publish was so very thrilling and I have for the past seven years used my little corner of the Internet to publish a website – BfB we call it – about a football club I follow and in that time my readers have done great things raising the level of debate in what is generally a fairly low level community discussion and two points in that seven years raising massive sums of money to stop the team from going out of business.
If I had planned how the website could have affected the community seven years ago I could hardly have done it better.
But I am so tired.
The website grew into my business which grew into my taking a superb position which takes up much of my time and more of my creative juices as it were. I find that I have nothing left in the tank for BfB. I continue to publish other writers articles and am really proud to do so but I have nothing left to give after seven years and in the hour or so a night I want to be online editing HTML and publishing pages.
I'm tired but I want to have vigour. I want to continue even just as a staging post for other people's writing. I want to keep ticking over in the hope that one day I might get enthusiasm back or someone else might come along with something so impressive my site is obsolete.
Most of what made my site what it is – ideas of publishing and how to respect readers and how to code and what to code – came from ALA and this website. Every Velvet Underground album sold launched a thousand garage bands.
Stephen said on 2 October 2006 at 9:29 am:
I've been blogging for over a year now and sometimes I do wonder if it's really worth it. I try and leave things for a few days for a 'blog break' but always think of several subjects that I can't resist writing about and end up indulging in a mult-post marathon…
It's just weighing up the 'yesses' , 'so-sos' and 'nos'.
Does what I say make a difference? No.
Do I have a readership? So-so.
Do I enjoy blogging. Mostly, yes.
So I carry on…

I cant imagine you giving this up, but dont commit yourself to "us" in any other way than you see fit. Whats been missing from your blog lately is – from my view – a little more personality. Anekdotes from your life, how much you hate yellow snow or what ever. Regularity is unimportant, as long as you post when you feel like it. If you feel like it at all. To me, thats blogging in a nutshell.

[...] 2005 SXSW Interactive Festival Opening Speaker Jeffrey Zeldman succinctly taps into the loneliness of the long-time personal publisher in the aptly-titled post "Blahg". He writes, "Gee, was I thrilled when I first realized that, by learning some HTML and buying a modem, I could publish anything I wanted to. Not only could I publish it, but people would see it and respond. My God, those were heady days. Eleven years I've been pecking away at this page, and boy are my frontal lobes tired. Every day I think about you and what I want to tell you. There's so much I still want you to know. But work and family enfold me in an octopus grip. When I finally put two free hours together, updating zeldman.com is not necessarily how I want to spend them. How about you? Still blogging? Still all fired up about it?" [...]
Aaron Gustafson said on 3 October 2006 at 11:58 am:
I've found myself much more interested in posting my thoughts and ideas to Flickr or Ma.gnolia than my blog lately (which is why I have worked to include those bits of my life in my RSS feed now). Between them, Upcoming and Plazes, I can get a lot of information out there without having to spend a whole lot more time on the computer. Don't get me wrong, I live for the web and for doing neat stuff on it, but it's nice to disconnect too.
I find myself blogging less often now, but when I do blog, it is usually much more well thought out than it used to be. That doesn't mean the "blog guilt" is gone, but at least I've found a good justification for my dilinquent posting.
Michael Martin said on 3 October 2006 at 4:59 pm:
Blogging? Not really.
I took a notion a while back, that a blog could be alot of fun to run. I had the original thrill of playing with all the little options in WordPress, and making a killer theme, but after that, the excitement of blogging soon wore off…. xD
Jeff said on 3 October 2006 at 5:08 pm:
Ever since my dad got online I find myself second-guessing the content of my blog, because he checks it all the time. And I'm 45, for god's sake. That's not the only reason for not blogging as much – working on other people's projects ($$) is another reason, coming home from a 9-5 webmaster job and not being excited about more face time with my monitor is another. And of course, good bike-riding weather means more bike-riding and less of pretty much everything else. Including blogging and other nerd-related activities.
WrightHandPhilosopher said on 3 October 2006 at 9:54 pm:
Many, many, many years ago – let's say 20+ years ago – in pre-web days, I got the bug of journaling my ideas into a flat-file database I created.
Today, 20+ years into the future, that database has over 100,000 entries in the form of micro-essays.
While this morning I only added 10 new entries, it was more from having to step away to earn a living than from running out of things to write – even after more than 20 years of jotting stuff down.
So, let me boldly suggest this: From a certain angle in life, I don't think it's possible for a human being to run out of things to write about…

Francis Shephard said on 4 October 2006 at 5:44 am:
In many respects I think a good blog has a good purpose, sometimes for the individual, that purpose is just to share their thoughts and perceivably be heard, but there is a vacous nature to blogs, often, and that is fueled by blatant self interest. I often find the best blogs are people who don't so much talk about themselves, but their role / place in the world, or blogs that discuss issues / politics.
Tired bloggers are often people who reach the inevitable moment where they realise living is more important than blogging. If I don't live I dont blog. Its that simple.
27 said on 4 October 2006 at 8:37 am:

beto said on 4 October 2006 at 10:50 am:
Those of you old enough to remember the original suck.com, raise your hands.
When blogs began gaining momentum about six years ago, I got into it in full force. Getting to know the guys at Pyra (original makers of Blogger) was another personal milestone. For the first few years, it was amazing to be a pioneer of this whole new thing. I even won one of the first Bloggie Awards ever offered.
Fast forward four years, where everybody and his grandma has a cookie-cutter blog right now, filled to the gills with stupid YouTube videos and self-righteous, inane rants trying to fullfill Warhol's 15-minute promise. But the real dealbreaker has been my current, 60+ hour work week. I just don't have time for it anymore. And if I've got some free time, pounding away at a monitor and keyboard is the least of things I'd want to do with it.
Of course, I have discovered many, many great people and talents through this medium and through the years, many of them still around. I'm grateful for that. Today, separating the wheat from the chaff is harder than ever, and the "return of investment" on the whole blog thing is more and more elusive. For my old fogey eyes at least.

Jeffrey, I pride myself on posting once every… oh… three months or so. ;-) I've been enjoying your content since 1997. Of course, the wonderful quirkiness of your earlier designs was enticing, but let's face it, I'm more interested in what you have to say, rather than how often you say it. When you first start off with new things, you immerse yourself, but after a while, things tend to balance naturally. Healthy balance between work and the rest of life. Many of those blogging freelance developers from 2001 are employed or have grown companies or families, and time is scarce and valuable. They're not blogging as much. We're no different.
Nothing wrong with living life. Enjoy!

Dear Jeffrey,
I've been a regular reader of your site since around '98 (and A List Apart later) and Dr. Web helped me immensely in my early steps in web design.
However most of all I enjoyed your My Glamorous Life stories. They more than anything showed that there was a really lovely individual behind all these posts. You're a gifted author and I shall look forward to anything you might dish out in the future, no matter whether it'll be online or in print.
Even if you choose to slow down more, that'll be fine with me – you've given so much already.
Take care! :-)

WD Milner said on 4 October 2006 at 8:51 pm:
I use my blog basically as a way to write editorial style pieces, and practice putting such things together. Hopefully what I write (if anyone really reads it regularly will find it useful).
That said I'm getting the "blahs" when it comes to reading other people's blogs.
I used to enjoy looking at the interesting designs people used to come up with, adn the interesting things they often had to say, or news item I hadn't seen. In the last 6 months or so, I've started seeng less and less new interesting content. Oh there i still lost new and intertesting to read, but more and more as site owners strive not to be unique and informative but high traffic/ranked and monetize their efforts, many sites – often the more mainstream and popular ones – are just a circe of regurgiated stories eg "so-and-so said on their blog that …" or "the news item posted on site A has an interesting analysis that says blahblahblah which can be found on site B. Add in trackback, pinkbacks, comment spam and it's just one big pile of redundant words waiting to implode.
All this works to increase everyone's traffic stats, and maybe in the odd case when someone may click on an advert make a few cents, it does little to feed that sense of adventure one used to feel when surfing – especially among personal websites – when one wasn;t sure what the next one would look like (they are becoming rpetty homogeneous nowadays) or have to say.
Your's is one of the few I check on any regualr basis anymore as there is usually something I find worth reading. Even if it's to note you are one of the few that managed to get an ISSN number. Hang in there!

I started a blog a couple of years ago. I pursued it for a while. But then I started to feel that blogging was kind of like stripping down to my underwear in public — or, worse. I think it's different if you're involved in work other people are interested in or have something compelling to say. Me? I'm just sort of same-o, same-o, day in and day out.

maybe i'll mix it up a bit and instead of "blogging" maybe i'll spend some time posting my favorite recipes, reviews of books i've read, some howto's related to skills i know very well, etc.

I've been writing about my own foibles for a good many years now and have become quite complacent on the relay, but my reasoning is because there is already so much information out there, so much that we have to touch on every single day, that I have wondered what more I can actually offer to the mix.
Because a few of my clients have wanted to start their own business (law) blogs, I have bypassed my waning glow for disseminating what occurs in my sphere. It causes me to pay closer attention to the details of that sphere, to sift through the muck to find the gold, then put that into words. I haven't done a daily in years. But a weekly or even a monthly can be good enough when it comes to getting those gems out to our audiences. I'm still surprised at my own stats, wondering who on earth consistently logs in and reads my rants.
Blagh on whenever you can. We're always listening.

I think as long as life continues to happen, my blog will still be around. Sometimes I'll post every day…sometimes I'll post once per year. But I'll keep posting my shout-outs to the world until…well, until I don't have to anymore. :)
I will say that my style has changed…I don't talk as much about the deeply personal things anymore, now my entries are shorter and lighter. That's okay; there's not so much tragedy right now, either, at least not in my family and not right this second.

John said on 13 October 2006 at 8:39 pm:
I am down right sick of it. I took a few months off after a few years of blogging, and then I started a new one, and can't stick with it though. Four kids is a lot to deal with.
Worse, I am getting sick of reading blogs. When it started there were fresh voices saying interesting things. Now days, it seems everyone is shouting the same thing. And to add to the noise, there are blogs of those who shout about what others are shouting.
I hit a turning point recently when Adam Corolla was talking about his indie blog that discussed indie bands on his blog. He said blog, and indie so many times that I started to ask " When a main stream DJ/VJ/Celeb discusses Indie Music on a Main Stream Blog, is it Indie? "
My point is this, the whole blog idea was very indie/zine/punk in the beginning. But now that the entire world is shouting about the mocha java latte they drank from starbucks this morning, the blog scene is main stream. And not as cool, or fun. Kind of like what happened to punk rock.
When I walked away from the blogging community for a few months, I realized how meaningless it is. It's like a video game, you play it, and its fun. Months later, you forget about it altogether.

With news that California has left half a billion dollars in safe-water funding unspent, there is one solution the state can offer.
The Bee's April 24 editorial "Water funds go unspent, even with tainted taps" rightly points to regulatory reforms that make great sense. But community and individual empowerment can also be a major help. And the systems behind such empowerment can actually help lead the way to the future of how we all think about clean water.
Typically, we think of conventional and expensive municipal treatment plants when there are contamination concerns. These plants are part of the solution, but they are not the whole solution.
Another part of the answer is what is typically called POU/POE systems point-of-use/point-of- entry treatment at or close to the faucet. These systems are devices that fight contamination right before it comes out into our drinking glasses or even as water enters a building. Another way to think of them is as the "final barrier" treatment done after water has gone through municipal plants and the system of public pipes.
Approved POE/POU water treatment systems are a safe and effective answer for many communities now, especially where central treatment is not economically feasible. More communities should be allowed to pursue this option.
Currently in California, only communities with fewer than 200 service connections are allowed this option under emergency regulations set by the Department of Public Health. This solution should be made available to larger communities, as other states have done, such as Arizona, Nevada and Idaho.
We know these systems can work, because we have seen examples.
In 2005, NSF International, an independent, nonprofit company that administers health and safety programs, conducted a thorough study on a centrally managed point-of-use strategy implemented in the community of Grimes, in Colusa County. In that town, nearly all the residents agreed to the installation of point-of-use systems in their homes. The conclusion: A final barrier system cost less than half the projected cost for central treatment.
Homeowners who faced elevated levels of arsenic had appropriate systems placed in their residences. Through rigorous analysis, researchers were able to calculate the cost of such systems against estimates for a central treatment plant. Central treatment would have cost more than $24 per month, according to the NSF International report. Depending on the level of monitoring and sampling, the point-of-use system was estimated at between $11.46 and $18 per month. The systems were successful and cost-effective.
Arizona leads the nation with its successful point-of-use program, and Idaho has at least 33 public water systems with point-of-use or point-of-entry treatment to address arsenic, uranium, fluoride and nitrate. New Hampshire also has 15 public water systems with point-of-use devices and two systems with point-of-entry devices for arsenic compliance.
What's more, robust testing and certification for safety and effectiveness of these devices exists, through independent and thorough processes.
By giving residents and communities the flexibility to address immediate concerns, the state will take a major step toward finding the comprehensive solution it needs.
In addition to expanding the use of community-based systems, homeowners should be aware that they can find independently certified water treatment products to fit their individual needs right now. For example, at wqa.org, you can find out about devices that have been tested and certified according to respected independent standards.
There is another compelling reason why final barrier treatment should be looked at more closely by policymakers and consumers.
The larger reality that we need to face as a society is that crumbling infrastructure will make it more and more important for people to put protection right in their homes.
It is a little known fact, but the truth is that only 1 percent of all municipal water is consumed by humans. The other 99 percent flushes toilets, waters lawns and supports cleaning, commercial and industrial processes. With the emergence of issues such as pharmaceutical and endocrine disrupters, our old paradigm for water treatment will be challenged beyond its limits.
In all likelihood, the future scheme for treating water will be to treat it once at the central plant to a level that will ensure the immediate health of the general population. Then, we will treat that portion of the municipal water that is intended for human consumption that 1 percent with the final barrier in our homes.
California can help lead the way by promoting the use of more final-barrier systems. After all, clean, safe water is a basic human right. It is up to all of us to make it a reality.

The Week that Lasts a Lifetime
Monday, March 2 to Friday, March 6, 2015
University of Michigan-Flint's Alternative Spring Break program enables students to learn about issues such as homelessness, poverty, hunger, violence, environmental issues, and complex social and cultural issues. Students will listen to and understand community needs and continue a commitment to community service and social change.
Program Description
The University of Michigan-Flint's Alternative Spring Break is a University Outreach sponsored program that offers a community service learning experience on a local level during the traditional Spring Break of the academic calendar. Students spend time learning about complex social, cultural and environmental issues. During spring break, groups carpool to a selected site to engage in meaningful action toward a greater understanding of root causes of relevant issues. Students participate in critical reflection and analysis of social justice issues they experience first-hand.
The program is dedicated to providing break opportunities to as many students as possible, while striving to increase community impact and student learning and address societal problems with understanding and compassion. Critical elements of this process are recognizing community needs and assets while working in partnership with community members. Equally important is translating the experience into an understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of social problems and making a commitment to being part of the long-term solution. Some of the sites that ASB have served are, but are not limited to: helping with hurricane Katrina cleanup, urban renewal with the Genesee County Land Bank and the Salvation Army, help with afterschool programming in local middle and elementary schools, serving meals at homeless shelters and also doing small construction projects.

Quick, awesome!
I can't believe how quickly I received my hybrids! I am new to juggling and so excited to learn with a quality set of juggling balls. They feel great, and I've already improved a great deal (I was using balled up socks!). I even juggled for a few minutes before going to work today - just to get that extra practice in. Can't wait to get good, consistent, and masterful.

Oracle Cranks Up The Cores To 32 With Sparc M7 Chip
Say what you will about Oracle co-founder and CEO Larry Ellison, but when the software giant bought Sun Microsystems more than four years ago, for $7.4 billion, he said that he had seen the light and wanted Oracle to control its own hardware and created specialized machinery tuned up to run Oracle's software stack. Despite falling sales in the early years, which have now stabilized and are now growing, Oracle has continued to invest in hardware.
This IEEE Spectrum article tells about the Sun employee reunion that happened last Saturday evening at Sun's first corporate headquarters building in Mountain View.
In this InfoWorld article, Java founder James Gosling rates Oracle's handling of Sun's technologies in the four years since the acquisition.
In short, Java gets a passing grade, while the treatment of the Solaris operating system fails miserably.
This NetworkWorld article describes how Oracle is going after third-party companies who provide "illegal" Solaris support (patches, updates) to customers who don't want to go through Oracle.
Adobe supports ColdFusion on Solaris 10/11 (SPARC)
Adobe supports ColdFusion 10 on Solaris 11 (SPARC). The Adobe "Tech Specs" document discusses the details of the supported configurations.
Oracle will soon be announcing that it's discontinuing development of its Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, Sun Ray software and hardware, and Oracle Virtual Desktop Client product lines.
I'm quoted in this TechTarget article about Oracle's attitude toward the "hobbyist" community.
This YouTube video documents the final shutdown of a SunFire 280R server with 3,737 (10.24) years of continual uptime.
It beats my personal record of almost two years on a Solaris machine, and more than six years on a Cisco switch.
I've completely removed all advertising from SunHELP, and will be redesigning the site soon. If you happen to run into a page with an ad on it, please let me know.
OpenSolaris.org shutting down 24 March 2013
If you need anything from OpenSolaris.org, now is the time to download and archive it.
Solaris 10 update 11 is available now.
Get it here:
Apologies for the lack of updates or news items lately. I'm still here, just have been dealing with a lot of problems in my personal life and things related to my wife's untimely death. When stuff like that happens, you tend to lose enthusiasm for personal projects and at times it's hard to start caring about some things again. I'm on the upswing finally, and look forward to completing a site redesign for SunHELP by the end of the year. One of my eventual goals is to make the site into more of a reference / database than it is now, full of helpful information for people that want to keep their Sun-branded hardware going for as long as possible. Part of that is a "back burner" project I've got going on to collect and archive online as many different versions of SunOS and Solaris (SPARC *and* x86) as possible, to have available for the hobbyist community when needed and allowable under Oracle's copyright guidelines.
Speaking of Oracle, Sun's "new" owners (it's been a few years now, hasn't it?) – I've not seen otherwise, and I can't speak for all of the Oracle/Sun employees, but their attitude towards the hobbyist community and sites like mine seems to be a large upraised middle finger. I'm not even able to run SunHELP on actual Sun / Oracle hardware or software, as the cost of a support contract in order to get Solaris patches is more than any income that this site brings in nowadays (basically zero).
My question to you, the Sun and Solaris and SPARC enthusiasts, is – is it worth it? Do you get any benefit, education, or enjoyment out of my continuing work keeping this site and the mailing lists going? Has it helped you solve a problem, defeat an emergency, "put out a fire", be a hero, get a job, keep a job, get a better job? Have you learned anything that you might not have found out anywhere else? Have you scored awesome computer systems that a company was just going to toss out, and got them running at home? Does your spouse understand the desire for raised flooring in the garage?
When I was a young beginner sysadmin, I received a lot of help and mentoring from other folks, and have always appreciated that. SunHELP started in July 1997 (then as sunhelp.com) as a collection of links and resources, and gradually expanded into a major web site, I believe at one point this was the largest third-party non-official Sun-enthusiast informational resource. I became the official home for the Sun Hardware FAQ – a document that was a big part of my learning about Sun systems in the first place. In 2000 I became one of the list maintainers of the Sun-Managers Mailing list (and hosted it from my own hardware for a few years; I still help with and in 2005, I was honored to take over hosting of Celeste Stokeley's Unix Serial Port Resources pages. All of my efforts over the past fifteen years have been an attempt to give something back to the community, and I hope that my peers feel that my contributions have been worthwhile.
I'll keep putting my money and effort into SunHELP and the mailing lists for as long as it proves useful to someone else – and if it has been useful, entertaining, or educational, please let me know. Send email to email@example.com, and tell me your story.
Update: Don't worry – I have no plans to stop doing all this or cease hosting the mailing lists and web site! I'd just like to know, for my own personal knowledge, what benefit you've gotten out of everything here.
Sun is renaming its x86-based server products to get rid of the "Fire" moniker.
Systems will be known as "Sun Server", "Netra Server", or "Sun Blade".
You can see a table here.
I've been VERY busy over the past few months and haven't had much time to dedicate to SunHELP, but the site's still here and isn't going away! With Oracle's seemingly new policy of not caring about the "little guy" and dropping all support for older UltraSPARC hardware in Solaris 11, SunHELP is needed more than ever by people who want to keep the older systems up and running.
I've made some minor clean-up changes today, and will be continuing this work. Would also like to thank Jerry for posting the occasional news article over the past few months.

Hello there Tom.
Any stories or interesting memories of working with Donald Pleasance on the completely barmy '70s movie "The Mutations"? Or, if you prefer, on being not only knifed to death by dwarves in the film's climax but also devoured by huge dogs. What a way to go!
Early in the film, a tall and rather familiar figure comes out of the fog, long coat and scarf sweeping behind him. The Doctor? It certainly seems so but, beneath the battered fedora there's no toothy grin to be seen but rather a Tom baker buried beneath piles of latex and starring as the film's horribly disfigured villain. What fun!
This is my first post here. Nice to see you online. Always been a big fan.
Bye for now

2. Barcelona highlights: Gohtic, sightseeing tour + Spanish village + Montjuic cable car
In Barcelona, history and traditions go hand in hand with emerging fashion and new trends in cuisine, culture and art. To experience all the nuances and both of these faces of Barcelona, we propose an itinerary that begins in the historic centre, visiting places such as Vía Laietana, the cathedral and its cloister, the Gothic Quarter and Plaça Sant Jaume.
Following this immersion in traditional Barcelona, we approach the place of key change in the city. With the hosting of the Olympic Games, Barcelona opened itself up to the sea and experienced economic and social invigoration. What better way to immerse ourselves in era of change than to visit the Olympic Village and the Olympic Port and then climb Montjuïc to visit the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and the Calatrava Tower. Finally, we will visit El Poble Espanyol (the Spanish Village), collection of traditional buildings from all over Spain, demonstrating a selection of the handcrafts made in country and providing the opportunity to taste the famous Catalan cava. And what better way to end the visit than with an aerial view of Barcelona from the cable car, which brings us to Montjuïc's Castle in 5 minutes.

U.N. Report: Endorsement from 'Resource Rulers' Perspective
Bill Gallagher, Author, Lawyer, Strategist
Resource Rulers: Fortune and Folly on Canada's Road to Resources
Not to diminish all the other subjects addressed in the first 20 pages, my area of interest lies in the 3 closing pages focusing on resource projects. To set the stage, here is a list of headlines just the week before the U.N. Report issued, which underscore the relevancy of the final three pages:
May 2 'Tsleil-Waututh to take legal action to block Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion' (Huff Post)
May 5: 'Indigenous lawsuits could paralyze the tar sands' (VICE Can)
May 5: 'Conflict will be the norm if mining company ignores our concerns (Huff Post)
May 6: Yukon Party won't cancel mineral claims in the Peel (CBC)
May 6: "Stall" shale gas industry, top public health officer says (CBC NB)
May 7: 'Northern Gateway investor money will 'sit there and rot', warns chief (CP)
May 8: 'Protests shift to protocol: BC First Nations hail new way forward for business' (CP)
May 9: 'NWT elders parliament votes for a freeze on fracking' (CBC)
May 9: 'Study on impacts of uranium mining to extend Quebec moratorium another year' (Mining.com)
May 10: "First Nations consent crucial to dam project' (Globe & Mail)
The U.N. Report issued May 12, and to highlight its media currency and business relevancy, para 73 identifies and addresses no less than 6 of the foregoing resource projects, calling them: 'proposed or implemented development projects that they (natives) feel pose great risks to their communities and about which they feel their concerns have not been adequately heard, or addressed'. (The report cites 16 such projects.)
I have been commenting on several of these same projects and my list of projects in the native empowerment 'blender' is considerably longer.
My first endorsement: it cannot be realistically argued that the U.N. Report misses-the-mark in terms of its media currency and business relevancy as it profiles a host of resource projects currently in the native empowerment 'blender'.
The U.N. report is relevant in another key area as it clearly dovetails with Doug Eyford's PMO report in pointing out the shortcomings of the regulatory approval process in satisfying the 'duty to consult', saying:
'… Indigenous governments deliver these concerns to a federally appointed review panel that may have little understanding of aboriginal rights jurisprudence or concepts and that reportedly operates under a very formal, adversarial process with little opportunity for real dialogue. (U.N Report para 72)
Here's Eyford's perspective in his words: ' … the formality of the environmental assessments inhibits Crown-Aboriginal dialogue. It is costly for Aboriginal communities to participate, the focus is often technical, and the process can be time consuming. Further, the joint panel review for the Northern Gateway Pipeline project demonstrates how regulatory processes can turn into adversarial proceedings damaging relations between the Crown and industry on the one hand, and Aboriginal communities on the other.' (Eyford Report to the Prime Minister Nov 29/ 2013 pg 35).
My second endorsement: it cannot be realistically argued that the U.N. Report is offside on this key 'duty to consult' regulatory aspect as it clearly mirrors the Eyford report. There has to be independent dialogue.
In 'Resource Rulers' preface, Professor Alan Cairns O.C. compellingly argues that the advances that native empowerment has now realized: 'requires sophisticated statesmanship. It is a political task of the highest order.' (pg xi). Here's the U.N. Report essentially saying the same thing:
81. '… To that end, it is necessary for Canada to arrive at a common understanding with aboriginal peoples of objectives and goals that are based on full respect for their constitutional, treaty, and its internationally-recognized rights.' (Conclusions & Recommendations)
My third endorsement is: it cannot be realistically argued that the U.N. Report's call for statesmanship can be ignored. Indeed it might be well seen as a last chance; that's because I foresee a 'perfect storm' blowing-in if its resource recommendations are not taken seriously in Ottawa.

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) launched the new DSM-5 on May 18, 2013 at its annual meeting in San Francisco, California after many years of field trials, research, and public and professional commentary.
There have been many significant changes in this new edition of the DSM and knowing what they are is an important aspect of staying current in the field. The focus of this training is to introduce these changes to mental health professionals and graduate students who already have an understanding of the basics of psychiatric assessment and diagnosis.
The training is designed to be brief and highly informational and will cover the following content areas:
Please note that the class is designed for graduate and post-graduate level mental health professionals who have already been exposed to previous editions of the DSM and want to learn more about the specific changes with the new edition and how those changes will impact them. This is not a class on what the DSM is or how to use it in clinical practice.
Registration for this class is limited for each section and early registration is highly recommended in order to reserve your place.

In a retrospective analysis, the course, symptoms, treatment response,
and personality of 54 delusional and 66 nondelusional unipolar depressed
patients were compared. The delusional patients had more guilt feelings and
were more ruminative, agitated, and referential than the nondelusional
patients. They had a poor response to a tricyclic antidepressant therapy
but good treatment outcome with a tricyclic- antipsychotic combination or
ECT. The form and content of prior episodes were remarkably similar to the
index episode in both groups. The authors believe that these findings
support the conception of unipolar delusional depression as a distinct
subtype of depressive illness.

Gates sparks Salem girls to 6-0 winCUMMING - Taylor Gates had a hand in five goals as the Salem girls soccer team (3-0) rolled to a 6-0 victory over host Forsyth Central on Friday night. Gates, a sophomore, scored three goals and had two assists to lead the Lady Seminoles to victory. Brittany Beaumont and Brittany Miller each chipped in a goal and an assist for Salem. Jordan Young added the Lady Seminoles' other goal. Goalie Kellianne Collins recorded the shutout in her first soccer game this season after the conclusion of basketball. The Lady Seminoles return to action at 5:30 p.m. next Tuesday at South Gwinnett in Snellville. Salem boys chalk up 2-1 victory CUMMING - The Salem boys soccer team played short-handed Friday night at Forsyth Central, but it didn't matter as the Seminoles (3-1) claimed a 2-1 victory. The Seminoles were forced to play most of the game short-handed when Nate Pulliam was red-carded in the first half. Senior Colin Easterbrook gave Salem a 1-0 lead in the first half, scoring off a penalty kick. Forsyth Central tied the game in the second half on another PK. But Salem senior Bryan Jones converted a pass from Kwazi Yankee about five minutes to put the Seminoles in front for good. Salem returns to action at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at South Gwinnett.

The fight over speed cameras in the Village of Elmwood Place
An appeal filed by Elmwood Place and the company that
operates the speed cameras was thrown out as being 'premature' on Thursday.

Judge Ruehlman issued a permanent injunction on the

The final order is expected in Early June, at which time
Elmwood Place and the company can appeal again.
