Technology marketing
Advice about the marketing of enterprise technology, based on 30+ years of experience, and most particularly upon our flagship Monash Advantage program.
Stoking a fear and promising a fix
I've been insistent that everybody needs to pay attention to politics now, which is being conducted with greater cynicism than technology marketing ever could be. But in this particular post, political and technology marketing (among other kinds) are compared on a more even basis.
Donald Trump:
- Articulated voters' fears.
- Stoked those fears relentlessly.
- Claimed that he "alone" could fix things.
- Won the US presidency.
This is actually a time-honored pattern, pursued by (among others):
- Many other demagogues and authoritarian leaders.
- IBM in its industry-dominant heyday.
- Consumer marketing companies over many decades.
- Several of the world's great religions.
While fear-and-fix is a powerful strategy, it's not easy to pull off, because it involves establishing both sides of a partial contradiction:
- There is a terrible danger that is very hard to prevent.
- I can in fact prevent it.
Approaches to resolving this paradox typically fall into one or more of three buckets:
- Overstating (or entirely fabricating) the danger.
- Overstating (or entirely fabricating) the fix.
- Understating (or just downplaying) the costs of the solution.
Let's consider some examples. Read more

Selling is complicated
It's time for another of my quick primers on the enterprise IT business. This one is about sales. First I'll run through some generalities; then I'll link you to some previous posts; after that I'll close with a collection of practical tips.
This is, to put it mildly, an important subject. In particular, there are only two kinds of enterprise IT CEOs:
- Those who need to understand sales because they don't have anybody else to do it for them.
- Those who need to understand sales because they do have people to do it, who need to be managed and helped.
Every enterprise IT CEO needs to be heavily involved in sales.
Of course, a few tips do not a salesperson make. Selling is a complex process, with many steps. Worse, it's tough for somebody to explain to you what the process is, in part because there's a kind of recursion involved — a big part of what you do in the sales process is establish what the process is.
And that's in both senses of "establish", namely "figure out" and "bring into being".
Other inherent difficulties in selling include:
- Selling involves getting money from people. People don't like to part with money.
- Buying from you often involves a lot more commitment — and foreclosure of other options — than merely writing you a check.
- Usually, a sale involves getting agreement from multiple people. These people often have different views, biases, and motivations.

PR (or AR) pitch emails
I believe:
- When attempting to impress influencers, press and analysts alike, pitch emails are much more important than actual press releases. By that I mean, among other things:
- The old cliché that your first few seconds of impression-making are much more important than all the rest applies in this case.
- Unless the pitch email succeeds, your press release won't even be looked at.
- Unless the pitch email succeeds, you won't get to have a verbal conversation with the influencer.
- Pitch emails can, just by themselves, harm somebody's impression of you, in two overlapping ways:
- They can damage your credibility.
- They can insult the recipient, by giving the impression that you think he's dumb enough to be fooled.
- Few companies act as if this is true.
My support for these views includes:
- My own reactions as an influencer.
- My conversations with other influencers.
- My knowledge of how PR and AR work get done.
- Common sense.
My top tip for pitch emails is: Approve the pitch emails a PR firm writes before they are sent out!!!! There are two big reasons for this: Read more

Why pitching ability matters
Engineers used to wonder what the point of sales and marketing people was. If a product was good, wouldn't customers make the correct decision to buy it?
Nobody I know seems that naive anymore, but I did just get a similar question, which may be paraphrased as:
Why do investors judge a startup on the CEO's pitching ability? Shouldn't they focus instead on the actual merits of the company?
Most of my answer boiled down to:
Investors' top concern is management's ability to execute, and pitching is — or simulates — a large part of execution.
In particular (and now I'm quoting my own email directly):
- A CEO is a company's chief salesman in one-on-one (or one-on-few) selling situations.
- A CEO is a company's chief promoter in public forums, or in one-on-one influencer marketing situations.
- A CEO is a company's chief recruiter.
- A CEO needs to align a company behind a shared vision, and specifically a shared understanding of the vision.
- A CEO needs to persuade employees to do things they don't feel like doing.
I finished with one other point that didn't fit the template, namely:
If you can't articulate a good pitch, why should we believe there's a good story in there at all?
I think the entrepreneur who asked me the question was convinced.

Third-party quotes in press releases
I'm generally a skeptic about the value of press releases. However:
- The IT trade press is increasingly understaffed, and hence press releases can in some cases serve as a draft of the article you hope folks will write. (Whether articles of that form have any influence or credibility is a whole other matter.)
- Press releases are collateral support for whatever higher-class outreach you do.
So my current opinion is:
- You should write press releases primarily for a general online audience, but …
- … secondarily for the reporters at whom they are ostensibly aimed.
That fits with my general view that press releases:
- Should tell your story.
- Should read well.
- Shouldn't do anything to actively embarrass you.
That brings me to the subject of this post: third-party press release quotes. For starters, I think the following are pretty obvious: Read more

Elevator pitches and other self-introductions
The concept of "elevator pitch" is ill-defined. Strictly speaking, it's supposed to be how you'd describe your company or product in no more time than the length of an elevator ride. But if you ever actually are in such a situation, you will likely tailor your pitch to the specific listener. Ergo, you shouldn't have one standard elevator pitch. So I'll talk about "self-introductions" instead. Whatever we call it, the challenge "How do we introduce and summarize our story in the shortest possible time, or in the fewest possible words?" is a Really Big Deal.
Self-introductions occur at several different lengths, including but not limited to:
- Short enough to fit in the first paragraph of a press release without obscuring the main point.
- Short enough to fit into an elevator ride — — or in the boilerplate at the end of a press release.
- The first few paragraphs of the About and/or Product sections of your website.
- The beginning of a typical slide-aided presentation.
Usually, it makes sense to view the shorter ones as being abbreviations of the longer, more complete forms.

The marketing of productivity
Most software technology benefits boil down to either:
- We help people be more effective. (Productivity)
- We help computers run faster. (Performance)
- We help people be more effective at making computers run faster. (Performance via productivity, or vice-versa)
My views on the marketing of productivity benefits are similar to what I wrote about the marketing of performance: Read more

Your first customers
A couple of the raw startups I advise have recently asked me about a hugely important subject — dealing with their very first customers. The big deal here is that initial customers can offer three different kinds of valuable resources:
- Money, in forms such as:
- Ordinary licenses or sales.
- Custom product development.
- Equity investment.
- Credibility,* to audiences including:
- Press and analysts.
- Angel/seed/venture investors.
- Potential customers who are just reading/hearing about you.
- Potential customers who do detailed reference checks.
- Product feedback and advice.*
*Confusingly, both credibility and product feedback are sometimes called "validation".
Questions of money are of course heavily influenced by how complete your product or service is. In particular:
- It is common not to get paid until your product works and is either in late beta or else early general availability.
- It is common for early customers to want big discounts even when they do pay you.
- Somewhat contradictorily, it is also not uncommon to get a lot of payment from your earliest customer(s). Reasons include:
- They're getting technology that is, at the moment, unique.
- You're willing to somewhat tailor the product to their needs, and to provide very high levels of attention and service.
Equity investment by your early customers and partners is problematic. In particular: Read more

Should you start a tech company?
I occasionally get very hands-on in accelerating a raw start-up. Typically this is when an engineer comes to me with an unquestionably clever idea and asks me — sometimes in very broken English — whether and how he can get rich from it. So let's collect some thoughts on the subject.
This post can be construed as fitting into my "not-very-organized series" about the keys to success. In particular, it draws on my July, 2014 post about judging opportunities.
The product plan
A start-up product idea needs to satisfy multiple criteria. Awkwardly, they're rather contradictory to each other.
- It should be obviously appealing to sufficiently many customers, and be worth sufficiently much money to them.
- It should be something the startup can do with very few resources …
- … but which much larger potential competitors cannot.
That usually means that the idea:
- Should be based on an architecture that is anti-strategic to incumbent players …
- … but which fits customers' technology strategies just fine.
Criticisms I've made repeatedly of specific ideas include: Read more

Marketing advice for young companies
Much of what I get paid for is advising early-stage companies, especially on messaging and marketing. So let's try to pull some thoughts together.
For early-stage companies, I'd say:
- Even more than for larger companies, the essence of messaging is to achieve the contradictory goals of excitement and credibility.
- If one of those must be sacrificed, sacrifice excitement. It is by far the easier of the two to regain.
- Note: Both your product and your company need to be credible. When your company is new, both parts of that are formidable challenges.
- Notwithstanding how limited your resources are, don't rely too much on outside PR. You need to control messaging and key influencer relations yourself.
- Notwithstanding how limited your resources are, you need to address multiple audiences, at least:
- Investors.
- Prospective employees.
- Knowledgeable influencers.
- Not-so-knowledgeable influencers.
- Sales prospects (business folks).
- Sales prospects (technical folks).
Of course, these subjects are much discussed in this blog. The top three overview posts for young companies are probably: Read more

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—The mayor stuck her neck out and spent $6 million making the city ready for the Baltimore Grand Prix.
As Mike Schuh reports, those who brought the race here declared it a resounding success.
While it sounded like angry hornets, others heard the sound of success.
Terry Angstadt is the president of IndyCar, the company that controls which cities get these races.
"It was absolutely a 10," Angstadt said.
With a worldwide audience, the city looked good on TV. A race organizer flew to Paris the next day. Baltimore dominated the meeting.
"They were talking about what a remarkable event it was, the unbelievable crowd shots and the scenes of the city," said Scott Atherton, American Le Mans Series president.
Costs won't be recovered this year, and firm numbers are scarce. But here's what they have: 160,000 attended, local contractors were paid $ 3 million for goods and services and hotel business was up 44 percent with many sell-outs.
"Are the hotels happy this morning with the outcome of Labor Day weekend? When you hear of the Hilton up 250 percent, when you hear a 55 percent increase in rate, 45 percent increase in revenue, I think projections were met," said Tom Noonan, Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association.
"It could not have been better for IndyCar," said Angstadt. "It was great for our business. It was great for our brand."
On the downside, traffic stunk on Thursday and Friday. Naysayers told the mayor this race would fail.
"I'm not a gloater, and this was not about me," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said.
And right before a primary, it was suggested to her this race was too risky.
"I was gambling my whole political career on one weekend, you know" Rawlings-Blake said. "I would gamble for the opportunity to hear this. This is people all over the world talking about Baltimore in a way that makes us all proud."
The city is crunching the numbers. They won't know if this was a financial success for a couple of weeks.
While the city would like to host the race next year on Labor Day, those running the racing series have not yet published their schedule.

Although there was an error in Justice Court, the Nevada Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of Michael Patterson, convicted of killing a man in 2007 in an argument over a dog in Las Vegas.
Patterson complained that his rights were violated when he was not permitted to substitute his hired attorney for a court-appointed lawyer on the night before a preliminary hearing in Justice Court.
The state Supreme Court said there was a violation of Patterson's Sixth Amendment right to counsel of choice, but it was a harmless error. The court ruled that Patterson did not demonstrate how the error would have resulted in a different result at trial.
The victim, Bobby Wilkerson, had agreed to buy a dog for $500 from Patterson but was unable to pay for it, according to court records. The two agreed to meet in the parking lot of a church in the 3400 block of Mojave Road, near Desert Inn Road and McLeod Drive, in Las Vegas. Wilkerson, according to court documents, had planned to return the animal but was killed by a shotgun blast to the head.
Patterson was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole and a consecutive term of one to 20 years for use of a deadly weapon.

Controversial Norwegian black metallers TAAKE have issued the following statement:"All concert plans are being put on hold due to a certain bandmember's imprisonment. Updates to follow shortly after the 20th of September." TAAKE frontman Hoest (photo#1, photo#2, photo#3) found himself at the center of controversy in March after he appeared on stage in Essen, Germany with a swastika symbol drawn on his chest. According to an article published in the March 26 edition of the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende, TAAKE's record label, Dark Essence Records, has indicated that it may terminate its relationship with the band as a result of TAAKE's behavior at the Essen concert. TAAKE's third album, "Doedskvad", was released in 2005 via Dark Essence Records. The band had previously released two albums on the Wounded Love label: "Nattestid..." (1999) and "Bjoergvin" (2002). "Doedskvad" is the last installment in this trilogy.

Very Best of Led Zep
- Artist: Heavy Plant Crossing
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 7/31/2008
JOHN VERITY was born and educated in Bradford, Yorkshire, and began his musical career in the early 1960's playing in bands in his native Yorkshire & beyond... By 1969 John was living and working in the US, with the first ever line-up of the John Verity Band doing prestigious support slots with many of the big names of the day including Jimi Hendrix, Mountain, Canned Heat & Janis Joplin. On his return to England in 1971, John secured a contract to record his first solo album for ABC/Probe records, \'John Verity Band\', which was released in the spring of 1972. Whilst on tour promoting the album, JV was spotted by Rod Argent who was looking for new lead vocalist for his band following the departure of Russ Ballard. John eventually joined Argent in 1973 and there followed a period of intense recording and touring until the band decided to come off the road in 1976. Argent never did go back on the road, and decided to disband, at which point John became involved with various new projects both as Artist & Record Producer. First of all along with Bob Henrit & Jim Rodford from Argent, he formed Phoenix, which soon signed to CBS records. The band recorded 3 albums & toured Europe before disbanding amicably when Jim Rodford joined the Kinks, and John & Bob joined Charlie to record an album with RCA Records. John produced the Phoenix albums, & Charlie album as well as the first Saxon album and Motorhead sessions during this time, and decided to divide his time between session work and record production.... JV missed the excitement of live work though, and soon re-formed the John Verity Band. Since then, in addition to his work with the Band, John has been gigging & working in recording studios throughout the world, producing, playing guitar, or singing with diverse acts including Motorhead, Tank, Ringo Starr, Russ Ballard, Colin Blunstone, Mike Berry, Dave Berry, Brian Connolly, John Parr, John Coghlan, The Searchers, Mike Rutherford (of Genesis), Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Zombies, & Michael Schenker - just to mention a few. JV has recorded/toured consistently - catch up by checking out www.johnverity.com Meanwhile, listen to JV & friends Dave Kinley and John Clark having fun jamming around with their favourite Led Zep tracks - get a listen to them in 'Heavy Plant Crossing' guise - just for fun!!!

Colorado Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja following 3-0 loss at Portland:
On the match overall:
"I thought it was a very competitive match for us. We just played a team that was effective. I think that every time they stuck one in the box, they put one in the back of the net."
On how the Timbers' offensive efficiency affected them:
"At the end of the day, we have to be able to score goals, because if we don't, when you play a team like Portland that takes six shots and scores three goals, you're not going to compete against that."
On the effect of Will Johnson's goal right before halftime:
"To have a performance like we had and then suddenly go to the locker room and we were losing 2-0, it was painful. But in the end, though, what you deserve doesn't matter in this game."
On the youth along the Rapids' backline, which included the first MLS start for defender German Mera:
"The youth could have had an effect for sure, but I think German [Mera] did a good job. I think he came into the game today and showed a lot of personality, so certainly he is going to help us."

Start by dumping it with hexview. Look at the beginning. There is a text string identifying the file type. Further down we see the directory names.
After that there are large chunks of FFs and 00s - they don't tell us much. I've seen them in a lot of files. They are probably indexes or something. Let's skip over that for now.
Scroll until we see interesting data
URLs are easy to pick out, and they occur with chunks of data between them. These are probably records. We just need to figure out how to find the beginning and the end of a record. Looking for things we can recognize, there is a URL, the file name on disk (without path), and then a bunch of http headers. There is a very interesting pattern after the text: "0D F0 AD 0B" or "0BADF00D" when viewed as a dword. I recognize this as a special "garbage" pattern used to fill uninitialized memory by some memory managers. This will make life easier, because we can see what memory is "not used", that is, was never written to by the app once it was returned by the memory manager.
Looking at the end of the strings, they seem to be "00" terminated, which is what you would expect for a C string. After the URL, the file name appears to be aligned on a dword boundary. Confirming this, we see that bits of "0BADF00D" are showing through the cracks between strings.
As the data seems to be variable length, there has to be some sort of info that can be used to walk across the data structure from record to record. Either absolute pointers or relative pointers (or lengths or offsets, etc). It just about has to be relative pointers, since this is in a file.
Things are very well aligned, so this could be a memory mapped file.
Another thing that jumps out is the word "URL" in the middle of the data between records. We also see "REDR". In fact, URL has a space after it, making it a DWORD. If we look further, there is another tag, "HASH" but it too seems to have a trailing space, which would make it an odd size, which is weird. "URL" seems to be a cached file, "REDR" probably stands for redirection. Thus it probably has a link to the URL it redirects to. Also, REDRs are much shorter. The tag seems to come before the data it describes. A common way to structure data is to have records in the form "type, length, data" This is a linked list which can be walked bery quickly. It allows variable sized data, and you don't even have to understand the data to be able to skip past it.
Looking at a couple of small REDR records, the unused memory occupies all the space from the end of the URL text to the next tag. The tags seem to be on 0x80 byte boundaries. I don't see any smaller records. Looking at the DWORD after the tag of these small records, I find "01 00 00 00" consistently. Well, the small records are 1 block of 0x80 bytes. Looking at other records, it is consistent!
Now, we know how to walk across this part of the data structure, and we know the size of the records. We also know that there is no data after the URL text. This makes sense. A common tactic in C is to create a struct to overlay on the beginning of a variable size record. That struct will then have pointers to the beginning of the variable length bits that follow it.
Looking at our anomolous HASH, if we treat as a four byte tag and the next four bytes as an int, we get a record size of 0x20. If we look down 0x80 * 0x20, we find the first URL after the HASH data. Good, that means HASH does follow our rule. I don't see any other tags between the beginning of the file and the HASH tag, just large data sections. So we don't know how to find the HASH yet except by inspection.
Looking at the data in the HASH section, it seems pretty regular. Some columns are all zeros, and some columns are all 00 or 80. We know our tagged records are on 0x80 byte boundaries. We would expect to find pointers to records in the hash table. A hash table should be an array indexed by the hash value so the records within the table should be small, probably just single pointers. I pick an entry beginning with "80" at random, say "80 9F 00 00". These could be offsets from anywhere, but we'll guess the beginning. Checking, at index 0x00009F80 from the beginning of the file, there is a URL tag. This supports the idea that these are offsets to records. However we could have gotten lucky about the offset starting from the beggining of the file. We'd have to see if there were any enties in the table less than the offset to the first URL tag, which is not easy to do by inspection so we'll leave it.
Luckily, I found a second index.dat in another spot. This one only has three entries. However, it is still 32K long. The round size again suggests something memory mapped. Looking at the end, the last record points to the middle of a 0BADF00D region right after the record. That region is two 0x80 blocks long. After that is all zeros. Probably somewhere in the header is information describing the various lengths.
The HASH tag is at a different place in the small file: 000004000 instead of 00005000 in the large file. So, the header is not a fixed size. There must be an offset in the header indicating where the HASH is. Glancing at the file header, the second dword after the text string at the very beginning (at 0x00000020) is "00 40 00 00" or 0x00004000. Checking the other file, the second dword is "00 50 00 00". Bingo! At least, it's pretty likely. We can walk all the tags with no further ado, if we're right. Are there any more "00 40 00 00"'s in the header of the small file? No, not before the directory names. That also supports our hypotheses. It could be one of the other numbers if an additional offset or multiplier was required, but this is probably right.
We also know that the most general or most important or most over-arching data will tend to be at the beginning of a struct. I wonder what the first dword is? A file size or a version number maybe? The small file has 0x8000. The file size is 32K! A likely match. What about the other? The large file has 0x6CC000. The file size is 7,127,040! Right on, we've identified another field.
Looking at the small file, at the HASH data itself, it is mostly "03 00 00 00"s but there are three places with other data, which is a good sign. However, the "smudges" in the table of 3's are two dwords wide, not one. This suprised me, because I thought every dword in the table was an offset. However, paying closer attention to that data in the tables makes it clear that each entry in the hash table is two dwords. the +7 and +15 columns are all zeros, and the +4 and +12 columns are all 00 or 80. The +0 and +3 columns and +8 and +11 columns are clearly NOT all 00 and 80. However, +0 and +8 seem to still have relatively few values - 00 80 40 C0, plus some 5's: 05, 85, 45. Any C5s? Hmm a C4! and an 04 and a C5 finally. Probably flags or offsets to something of regular size. Or both even. Plus, with a 0x3 in every dword slot, the 2nd dword in every pair is clearly not always an offset to a tag! However, the entire low nibble can be used for flags, since we know that the actual offset must be a multiple of 0x80. With these three entries, we can confirm that the offsets are from the beginning of the file though. The offsets are 0x00005000, 5100, and 5200. These exactly match the three URL records. That confirms that the offsets are from the beginning of the file. I can't see any pattern in the first dwords in the three pairs, though. I would expect to see flags or maybe chaining pointers, but the values don't look like offsets of any kind.
There are other two dwords before the beginning of the table. In the small file, they are both zero. They could just be for alignment. The large file has a nonzero value in the first of the two - "00 C0 01 00". I know there is at least one more HASH record in the large file. What's at 0x001C000? The next HASH record! OK, the hashtables are chained together through that dword. The second hash table also has a value in the second dword - "01 00 00 00". Perhaps just a counter indicating that this is the second hash table? Something to investigate later.
The hashtable in the small file has a trailing chunk of zeros. The non-zero portion is 0xE00 bytes long, or 0x1C0 (448) pairs. That's an odd size - 0x40 (64) pairs off the nearest round number of pairs. The other two hash tables are the same. The zeros are probably just padding. 64 must be an interesting unit in the hash algorithm, because adding another 64 pairs would collide with the first URL record. (Why not make the hash 0x21 blocks long and make the table 512 pairs? I don't know. 448 isn't exactly prime.)
Glancing at the header in the small file, I don't see any 3's to match the number of URLs cached. The dword at 0x48 is the number of directories. 0x10 (16) is probably the max, since the huge file has 7 megs of URL data but only 16 directories. The directory names are 8 bytes long (with no terminator), which makes for nice alignment. The dword before the file name seems to have the number of files in that directory.
There's a chunk of zeros after the directory names (0x110 to 0x1C0?). Then a chunk of numbers (0x1C0? to 0x250). Then a bunch of "FF"s. In the small file, there are four "FF"s, a "3F", and then 00s to the HASH tag. The large file has FFs for quite a while, (could this be a bitmap?) then it gets patchy around 0x15C0, and then becomes mostly 00s at 0x19C0 though there are occasional blips. This is a good candidate for a bitmap describing with blocks have records and which are free. Let's confirm this. "FF FF FF FF 3F" is 32+6=38 "on" bits in a row. Times 0x80 is 0x1300. The HASH starts at 0x4000. Thus the first unallocated block should start at 0x5300. Bingo, that is the empty block pointed at by the last URL record. The two "off" bits in the byte that had some "on" bits correspond to the two blocks of 0BADF00D, I bet. I bet that the block manager wrote 0BADF00D into the entire range represented by the byte in the bitmap when it started allocating blocks from that byte. The bytes that have never been touched have the zeros provided by the OS memory manager.
Let's look at the REDR record. There are two unknown dwords before the URL text. It's unlikely there would be a pointer to the URL text since the start is fixed relative to the start of the record. The first dword could be a number since the high byte is consistently zero. Some examples are 0x00005208, 0x0019B0A8, 0x001E211E, 0x00005828. They are probably not direct indices, since they are not multiples of 0x80. The second dword is probably flags, since the examples have a more even bit distribution: 0xDB195C00, 0x3C2B0F80, 0x8CED25C0, 0x05F28E40 No ideas so far.
Let's look at the URL record. We've got 24 dwords to figure out. Well, one seems to be consistently 0BADF00D, so 23. I take that back. #24 is sometimes 0BADF00D (which means that the value was never set) but sometimes it has a value. Let's use offsets from the beginning of the record. So, +0 is the tag "URL ", +4 is the number of 0x80 byte blocks used by this record. +64 is sometimes 0BADF00D.
Let's start with something easy. The offset to the URL text is fixed, but the offset to the file name (which comes next) is not fixed, and we should be able to find it in one of the fields. Looking at an example, the offset of the file name is +A4. The only field with 0xA4 is at +3C. Next is the http headers. The field holding this offset is at +44. There's one dword between those, and it looks like it could be a length. Counting, it doesn't add up.
Where do we stand?
+00 dw Tag
+04 dw Length In Blocks
+3C dw offset to file name
+44 dw offset to http headers
+64 dw ??, sometimes uninitialized
+68 sz Url
Looking at what Windows Explorer has to say about the files in the cache, the colums include a "name" which is everything after the last slash, so there might be an index to that, an expires date, and last modified date, a last accessed date, and a last checked date. Last modified and last accessed could be retrieved from the file system, but looking at the strange values for last modified (which is often sent in the http headers), the data must be coming from this file. so we have three to four dates to find. Dates would probably be stored in NT timestamp format, which is a qword (long). Picking one URL at random, I look it up in explorer. Looking at the data, I only see two longs that look like timestamps - +8 and +10. Lets look at +8: "00 14 AC 72 BE 95 C2 01" or 0x01C295BE72AC1400. We'll ask w32tm to translate: "w32tm /ntte 0x01C295BE72AC1400" returns "146792 02:41:12.0000000 - 11/26/2002 8:41:12 PM (local time)". That matches with "last modified" in explorer. Let's try the other one. "10 BA 4D B3 AE 99 C2 01" or 0x01C299AEB34DBA10 is "12/1/2002 8:58:33 PM", which matches "last accessed".
Looking at the file size of 2K, I don't see any dwords with a value near 0x0800, so the file size is probably not stored in the record. I take that back. 0x676 is probably close enough to read as a size. It seems to match pretty well. NT can support file sizes in the qword range, but I'm going to be conservative and guess that this field is only a dword wide.
The dword at +18 seems to be zero when the expires field is none, so they are probably related, but the value in the filed doesn't look like a time. Maybe it's in seconds?
BTW, since the beginning of the URL record is a timestamp, maybe the beginning of the REDR record is also a timestamp? No, the qwords at +8 in the REDR records menthoned above do not look like timestamps - The high bits should be the same (0x01C...) but they definitely are not.
I would expect the cache directory index to be one of the fields as well. I wonder which it is?
Here's where we stand now:
+00 dw Tag
+04 dw Length In Blocks
+08 qw Last modified
+10 qw Last accessed
+18 ?w expires
+20 dw? size
+3C dw offset to file name
+44 dw offset to http headers
+64 dw ??, sometimes uninitialized
+68 sz Url
2003-01-04 : Thinking about this last night, I realized you couldn't just use the block lengths to walk the whole list of blocks, because there are discontinuities. You would need to use the bitmap at the beginning of the file to know whether the next block was valid or contained garbage.
2003-04-05 : Jeff Newman directed me to the page
by Wolfgang Baudisch describing the IE4 cache layout for the answer to my last question. Baudisch
identifies the field containing the cache directory index as being at offset
+38 for
IE5. It is a one byte field, which helps explain why I didn't find it earlier. :)
For the record, the files I am analyzing here are
Client UrlCache MMF Ver 5.2.
2003-09-14 : Perhaps a more specific example is in order. Here is a hex dump from the middle of one of the index files on my hard drive. Mouse over the description on the right to highlight the corresponding bytes on the left.

WDA envisions a world where zealous, well-resourced, and supported public defenders work in partnership with their clients and their communities to achieve just results on individual cases, and to take leadership in transforming the justice system to value the humanity of our clients and their communities.
Mission Statement
Core Values
Strategic Goals
After decades of criminalizing race, poverty and immigration status, criminal justice reform is emerging as the civil rights movement of our time, a foundational necessity for racial and economic justice. The familiar narrative of criminalizing race and poverty has begun to shift as leaders at all levels of our civil society begin to speak out, engage in meaningful debate, and propose strategies for change. In this context, WDA recognizes the importance of positioning itself and Washington's public defense community to be a force that both catalyzes and benefits from these emerging trends. This will enhance the ability of defenders to provide competent and meaningful representation to their clients, deliver justice for defendants, and improve all of our communities. The goals outlined below are designed to illuminate the path WDA intends to take to achieve these outcomes.
1. Sustain and expand support services and practice tools for public defenders, including case consultation services, training, and practice advisories, to ensure clients, their families and our communities receive the highest quality public defense advocacy.
2. Enhance WDA's role as a vital steward of Washington's public defense community that plays a primary role in growing leaders, building networks and mobilizing member defenders.
3. Leverage technology and social media to expand WDA's communications capacities to extend the reach of our voice, enlarge our presence, and increase the impact of our work on behalf of our members, clients, and communities.
4. Create, implement and sustain internal structures, policies and practices that reflect WDA staff and Board's common understanding of racial equity and justice. Support and provide leadership for WDA members and member offices to do the same.
5. Develop programs that fully partner with communities to create systemic and individual change by expanding WDA's capacity to recruit, support, and develop public defense leaders who can align with, and capitalize on, emerging trends to improve perceptions of public defense, our clients and our communities.
6. Support and facilitate defenders in their efforts to provide more holistic, client-centered representation through effective community partnership and participation.
7. Prioritize procurement of additional funds and resources to expand WDA's capacity to achieve these strategic goals through means that more effectively support existing staff, grow board capacity and expand arenas of membership engagement to achieve these goals.
8. Consistently evaluate our advocacy engagement, including legislative, amicus, policy and collaborative work, in order to reconfigure and implement delivery systems and means of engagement that maximize impact, develop member and staff leadership and commitment, and leverage member and staff expertise.

Would You Cheat On Your 'Boyfriend' With Tino Coury? – Hunk of the Day
Tino Coury, the sexy pop artist who broke out in 2010 with the hit 'Diary,' has another song he wants you to listen to. It's called 'Boyfriend,' and no, he doesn't want to be your boyfriend, he wants you to cheat on yours with him. So, what do you say?


text:
The pairing was a nod to the future, an appetizer of seasons to come. Matt Harvey, 23-year-old ace-in-waiting, threw 39 pitches to Travis d'Arnaud, 24-year-old heir to The Kid.
The results could have used a coat of wax. Harvey surrendered a home run to former Mets outfielder Fernando Martinez; d'Arnaud went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
But the thought of these two twinned together – not just for a spring training game in central Florida, but for a string of summers in Queens – was enough to get both men and their manager beaming about the bright lights down the road.
"I thought they both did a good job," manager Terry Collins said after the team's 7-all tie with the Houston Astros at Osceola County Stadium. "I thought Travis did a nice job of handling, calling the game. And I thought his receiving was very good. Matt threw good. He made some good pitches."
With 10 major league starts looped to his belt, Harvey did not have to battle as many heart palpitations. He allowed one run over two innings. Three times he set down an opposing hitter on strikes.
One National League talent evaluator who scouted the Mets' prized arms on back-to-back days – Zack Wheeler on Saturday in Port St. Lucie, Harvey on Sunday in Kissimmee – said Harvey is further along right now.
"[But] not much," he said. "They're pretty close."
Harvey's fastball bounced between 94 and 98 mph, according to that same evaluator. He threw 39 pitches, 25 for strikes.
"The arm and the body [are] in shape," Harvey said. "It's just a matter of the location. I'm not quite there. I made a lot of good pitches, but I also made some that missed the plate a little too much."

How much lube on cast bullets?

I believe that Col. Harrison referred to the odor of the NRA formula as "pungent" and I will certainly agree to that. Residing in NJ, I really don't have the problem of melting lube but I can relate to the buying it in quantity and using it for the next few years. Maybe that is why I'm not up to date on the latest "hard" lubes. The NRA lube does just about eliminate leading in both handgun and rifle loads for me. The Col. specifically mentions exactly what you refer to on .38 wadcutter bullets as to the best accuracy with lube in only one [bottom] groove and excess lube all over the muzzle with all three grooves filled. I compromised and lube in two groove although it will take longer that way to use up my supply. I remember well that black goo that Lyman sold years ago and if I never see or smell that again it will be too soon. To conclude, I think the bottom line to Walker's problem is to wipe off the excess lube on those bullets he has [either before or after seating] and either buy bullets with the "hard" lube or with less of the older lube.

Current situation
- New information from Gunung Sitoli, Nias has raised the death toll there to 1300 in the city alone, according to Search & Rescue teams based there. The initial estimates are being considered quite conservative compared to the ground reality
- The figure of 444 deaths in Nias is the latest confirmed information given by the Governor
- 156 patients have been evacuated so far, mainly to Medan and Sibolga. This is expected to continue
- Preliminary information indicates that north and south Nias are most heavily affected. No information is available from the inland part of the islands
- No treated water is available on the island, only well water is available to the people
- There is no secondary disaster of any significance in the aftermath of aftershocks
- Rumors that the island is sinking are leading to more displacement of the people. Four boats of people numbering nearly 800 have already left the island
- Search and Rescue is continuing but nearing its end in terms of utility
- Information remains a critical priority issue along with the ability of health personnel to use it effectively
- The hospital in Gunung Sitoli has become operational. It is preparing itself to start receiving patients even from outside
- Information about affected rural areas still remains scanty and is being collected
- The Indonesian government has announced that the emergency phase for this quake would last approximately one month.
Ongoing activities
- The team leader of WHO in Banda Aceh, Dr. Anshu Banerjee, will be visiting Nias shortly to take stock of the situation and the medical relief efforts going on there
- WHO's ground staff in Nias includes a medical co-coordinator, watsan expert, logisticians, health facilities assessor, disease surveillance officer and a communicable disease officer

- The Local Government has designated 11 hospitals in Medan, 1 Hospital in Central Tapanuli (Pandan Hospital), 1 Hospital in Sibolga as the referral hospital for treatment of earthquake victims. The local government will assess the need to designate up to 25 hospitals as referral hospitals as more injured victims are evacuated from Nias and surrounding areas
- Emergency medical care, trauma care, especially general surgeons and orthopedics for orthopedic injuries, severe crushed injuries, head and spinal trauma.
- Restoration of water supply
- Electricity generators
- Special transportation services to reach affected areas and evacuate critically injured
- Availability of trauma kits
- Replacement of medical teams every 48 to 72 hours need to be considered because they get exhausted due to lack of food and water with warm and very humid climate conditions
- Water and food is urgently needed both for the victims and the medical teams in Nias
- Rubble removing equipment and metal cutting gear has been identified as an ongoing priority
- Fuel supply remains a problem leading to distribution bottlenecks
- Medical stabilization and evacuation is a priority issue
Simeulue (Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province)
Current situation
- The damage due to earthquake in Simeulue island is also anticipated to be worse than the initial estimates. There is no definite new feedback as yet on numbers though. No change has been reported in the earlier casualty figures of 17 dead and another 177 injured.
- Some villages have reportedly been completely destroyed
- Access across the island is still difficult and no estimate is available of when the road use may be possible again

Tyco to partner with Chinese telecom systems maker
Post a comment
Tyco Electronics Power Systems last month signed a memorandum of understanding with China Putian Corp., a supplier of telecommunications systems headquartered in Beijing.
Under the proposed agreement, Wuhan Putian, a China Putian subsidiary based in Wuhan, will manufacture, sell, and distribute power systems integrating Tyco's Galaxy Power Systems' AC/DC and DC/DC products.
Tyco will provide design and quality specifications and loan temporary engineering and technical personnel to Wuhan Putian, which will begin building the systems within three to six months, according to Mickey Miller, vice president of the Mesquite, Texas, power systems business of Tyco Electronics Corp.
"Our local presence in China will produce a more competitive offering to regional customers and reduce costs," Miller said.
Leveraging China Putian's manufacturing, sales, and distribution network will enable Tyco Electronics Power Systems to rapidly access the China telecom market, and help meet its goal of increasing the percentage of its revenue generated in China from 5% now to 25% next year, he said.
The alliance provides the power systems division with a new market for its rectifier-type telecom power products, which can help fulfill China's growing requirements for wired and wireless communications infrastructure.
China's telecommunications industry is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 7.9% through 2006, when revenue should hit $27 billion, according to Gartner Dataquest, San Jose.
Up to now, Tyco has mainly established access to the Chinese telecommunications market through sales of DC/DC and AC/DC power supply modules to Chinese OEMs, using its EMS partners' China plants, Miller noted.
Although Tyco Electronics Power Systems is still building its presence in China, parent company Tyco Electronics already has a strong China foothold with eight plants and 12,000 employees making mostly connectors and electromechanical parts like relays and switches. Tyco Electronics also has a design center in Shanghai.
China Putian generates annual revenue of $8 billion and has a workforce of more than 16,000. The company has installations in most of China's 26 provinces and joint ventures with other global electronics suppliers including Alcatel, Corning, Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia, and Panasonic.
"The move is a good one for Tyco," said Mohan Mankikar, an analyst at MicroTech Consultants Inc., Santa Rosa, Calif. Noting that telecommunications power systems often incur higher shipping costs because of their weight, Mankikar said that "with rectifier-type products, you need to manufacture in the same region you sell in."
Among rival power suppliers, Emerson Electric Co., St. Louis, in October 2001 acquired Avansys Power Co. Ltd. from China telecom network equipment provider Huawei Technologies for $750 million.

The outpouring afterwards – I witnessed it first-hand as I was interviewing him at the time for the American television channel Fuel TV's post-fight show – was both raw and real. It is tough watching a giant, for whom you feel great admiration, break down in tears before you. It was a reminder for us all, that the bigger picture is never far away.
Struve grew in this contest, not just as a fighter, or a main-eventer, but also as a man. The 7ft giant is still only 24 years old, and yet he has been training against heavyweights since he was just 14, when he already stood at 6ft 4 ins tall.
Struve finished the fight with brutal stoppage in round two. For me, Miocic edged the opening round, but in the second, they exchanged again and again, both men in trouble. Yet it was Struve who was to force the TKO stoppage at 3 mins 50 seconds of the second period.
"The guy's a stud," UFC President Dana White told me afterwards, on hearing that Struve had faced personal family issues leading into the contest, and had contained it within himself.
Struve moved himself into the top ten heavyweights on the UFC roster against the dangerous Miocic, whose heavy hands will always be dangerous. In many ways, Struve outboxed the boxer, and if there was one criticism, it is that he tightens his defence. Yet what Struve did do as effectively as he has ever done, is that he used his height and reach to his advantage.
I asked Struve if the victory meant a great deal to him. He could barely talk over the next minute. He then explained: "My dad has been dying of cancer for about two months so this was for him tonight. He is in his therapy for four weeks now and I heard he is doing well, but still." We wish his father well.
Struve, surprisingly, said that Miocic had not hurt him:"I felt his right hand wasn't really hard enough to take me out as long as I just paid attention and bite my jaw together. I saw that he really slowed down in the second round and I decided to start chasing him and pressure him and I really rocked him with a few shots. He didn't rock me. There are just a few bruises."
Looking ahead, with Antonio Silva and Travis Browne fighting each other in Minneapolis this coming weekend, and UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos slated to defend against Cain Velasquez on Dec 29, a possible fight for Struve could be against Fabricio Werdum.
"I think it would be an awesome fight and he is one of the best fighters in the world. I think I can rock him on the ground and I can beat him," said Struve. He may not reach his prime for another three to four years, yet, but he grew with this entire event. Incredible, really, that age 24, he is 9 and 3 in the heavyweight division of the UFC.
Dan Hardy is hitting the target again after four losses, enjoying a second win in a row in an absorbing mainly stand-up war with Amir Sadollah in the co-main event at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena. Hardy showed the benefits of the last year in the United States, combining striking and wrestling as he showed his roundedness as a fighter to claim a 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 unanimous decision victory.
Hardy had fought four times in Nottingham – with other organisations – and had never lost in his home town. "I've always dreamed of fighting here for the UFC. I like a war as much as all you guys, but I had to be smart and I really enjoyed the fight. The only thing that would be better would be bringing the belt back."
One punch by name, and by nature. Knockout of the Night went to Brad Pickett who put Yves Jabouin away with a right uppercut in round one of the bantamweight fight. After this display Pickett – one of the top five in the division -could even be rematched with Renan Barao, the interim champion, who submitted the British fighter in Birmingham last year.
"That guy, for me, is technically the best striker in the division," Pickett said of Jabouin. "I'd like to fight somebody ranked above me now."
Matt Wiman came out top in his lightweight battle with Paul Sass, surprisingly finishing the Liverpool submission expert by armbar in the opening round.
"I'm just devastated, I thought I was stronger the whole way through. I just got caught," Sass said.
The all-British welterweight clash John Hathaway and John Maguire was seriously disappointing, Maguire very subdued during the contest.
Hathaway's more active striking, in addition to his ground dominance in the second round, earned him a unanimous 30-27 decision. White admitted 'disgust' with the bout. "I'm so frustrated, I didn't execute my game plan, honestly … it is the worst I've ever felt," Maguire said. Hathaway added: "He didn't really engage too much, I feel bit bad for the fans that they didn't get to enjoy a brawl but we did fight hard and I was glad to come away with the win."
Maguire admitted afterwards it was the worst night of his career. "I just couldn't get going in there," he said. Hathaway told me afterwards he'd like to fight an opponent of the calibre of a Johnny Hendricks next.
The main card started with Duane Ludwig forced to stop his fight with Che Mills at 2.28 of round one after a knee injury. However, Mills was well on top when the bout was halted prematurely.
Elsewhere, Tom Watson's UFC debut at middleweight Brad Tavares earned a split 30-27 28-29 29-28 decision after a largely stand-up war. Ju-jitsu star Gunnar Nelson made an impact choking out an overweight
DaMarques Johnson, in a fight scheduled at welterweight. Elsewhere, Jason Young suffering a first-round knockout at the hands of Robbie Peralta, and Andy Ogle lost to Akira Corassani in an entertaining match – split decision 29-28, 27-30, 29-28 – with Ogle strongly disputing the judges' verdict afterwards.
London light-heavyweight Jimi Manuwa dominated Kyle Kingsbury in a savage, one-sided stand-up battle. The fight was stopped after the second with Kingsbury's left eye closed.

A few more primary wins and B. Hussein Obama will be able to light up a cigarette during a televised speech and still get the nomination. It looks like the only thing that can stop him now is an endorsement from Al Gore.
And my brave little Hillary needs a bold move after the Potomac primaries this week. If she can't trick Gore into endorsing Obama, she may have to divorce Bill.
Hillary is, shockingly enough, the most conservative candidate among the top three presidential candidates.
The Rev. Jerry Falwell once remarked that his people would rather vote for Beelzebub than Hillary Clinton.
He didn't mention John McCain.
Pat Buchanan says if McCain is the nominee, the Republican Party will lose its soul. I'm more worried about the Republican Party losing its mind.
Republicans are doing what the Democrats tried in 2004 with John Kerry. In a state of despair, Democrats dumped the legitimate leader of their party, Howard Dean, for a candidate they deemed "electable." Kerry served in Vietnam! Republicans: Conniving has never been our strong suit. Honor is our strong suit.
Sen. John McCain's claim to being a Republican comes down to two factors:
(1) He was a POW.
And (2) he has a relatively conservative voting record compared to, say, Maxine Waters.
I note that there were hundreds of POWS in Vietnam. We can't make them all president.
Moreover, it's crazy to imagine that military service makes one qualified to be president. Everyone knows the true test of presidential leadership is an ability to cry on cue. Another point for my Hillary.
To be sure, McCain has a relatively conservative voting record but only relative to Republicans who have to get elected in places like Vermont.
In the immortal words of well, me, actually: Always choose a strong conservative from a blue state over a lukewarm conservative from a red state.
Even McCain's supporters on the Spaghetti-Spined Express know he can't be trusted on social issues like abortion. I notice how everyone seems to agree that of course Rudy Giuliani's voters would go to McCain.
Why would that be? On the two seminal issues of our time other than abortion taxes and the war on terrorism the two could not be more different.
Rudy cut taxes in New York City and, as a presidential candidate, proposed the biggest tax cut in U.S. history. McCain voted against Bush's tax cuts twice.
So why is it obvious to everyone that Rudy would endorse McCain?
Because everyone knows he'll take the liberal position on social issues like abortion -- and everything else -- as soon as he doesn't need the voters of Arizona anymore.

I brought 5 of my favorite teas for my week in the States, sadly this isn't one I could fit in (it's in a tin rather than a bag) but it was tasty for the trip. See previous notes on this tea :)

The designated owner of a task can always check on the status of a Workflow task. The owner is usually the person that initiated the task, but ownership can be redefined. Because tasks are objects in the repository, they will also be visible to anyone else with sufficient permissions.
Workflow status is typically represented in the Task List State column by the strings executing, pending, creating, and suspended. You can add additional, more informative strings summarizing workflow status to this column display.
Implement this feature by adding one of two possible expressions to the WFProcess file:
<WFProcess name='queryRoleTask' maxSteps='0'> <Status> <s>Customized Status</s> </Status> <Activity id='0' name='start'> <Transition to='GetReferencingRoles'/> </Activity> <Activity name='GetReferencingRoles'> <Action id='0'> <expression>
<Status> can be any XPRESS statement that results in a string. For example,
<Status> <s>custom string</s> </Status>
<Status> <block> <s>not appearing</s> <s>custom string</s> </block> </Status>
The results of this expression, if any, are displayed in the Status column when a result is pending (for example, pending (custom status)).

Snow, then dangerously low wind chills in south Washington County
Another snowy, icy blast of winter swept into south Washington County early Thursday, with up to two inches of snow expected to fall and frigid wind chills to follow.
The National Weather Service predicts wind chills could dip to as low as 14 below zero Thursday afternoon and as low as 23 below zero overnight. Additional snow is possible before midnight.
The snow and high winds have turned area roads treacherous, with a pair of multi-vehicle accidents on Highway 61 north and south of the 80th Street exit in Cottage Grove slowing traffic shortly after 1 p.m.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Iowa Democrats were left without a candidate for governor after Lt. Gov. Sally Pederson said she wasn't running, the Des Moines Register said Wednesday.
Pederson said in an interview that she had considered running for the state's top job in 2006 but decided to return to private life instead. "I think it's important that I make this information known at this time, because I want to allow plenty of opportunity for others who are interested to throw their hat in the ring," she said.
Without Pederson in the race, the field of Democrats seeking to replace Gov. Tom Vilsack -- who says he will not seek a third term -- as the party's nominee is wide open though no Democrat has officially entered the race.
Those considered likely to enter the race now that Pederson is out include Iowa Secretary of State Chet Culver, Des Moines-area state Rep. Ed Fallon and Attorney General Tom Miller. U.S. Rep. Jim Nussle of Iowa's 1st Congressional District is considering a run for governor on the Republican ticket.
