Vacation Policy in Effect
Jun 30, 2005 Noticias
My vacation policy is now in effect. A big two week’er to Pender Island!!!
Will be back on July 18th to resume with more opinionated rants (and maybe some pictures?…). I wish I had something fascinating to say before I leave, but blogging before a long weekend (in Canada it starts tomorrow!) can just lead to silliness. … Go hassle Rick Mercer while I’m gone.

Como se cuanta gente Ve mi Blog
Jun 26, 2005 Noticias
Como veran este post esta explicado con todos sus detalles, para que las personas que no han tomado un computador en años también tengan la oportunidad de usar estas herramientas.
El servicio más facil de utilizar y gratis, lo entrega Ecoestadística.
El único problema de este servicio, es que también cuenta las veces que uno entra al blog, por eso es bueno tener otro que te permita la opción de no incluir tu computador.
Yo saqué una cuenta en StatCounter de esta manera sabes cuales son tus estadísticas reales ya que no se ven influenciadas por las veces que entras tú a cambiar detalles en tu blog. El problema de este servicio es que solo puedes tener las estadisticas de las ultimas 100 personas, porque debes pagar para aumentar tu capacidad.
Todas las imágenes que se muestran a continuación son de mayor tamaño, si no distingues algo, solo debes hacer click sobre la imagen para ver su tamaño original.
Bueno, continuando con ecoestadistica(que es gratis) los pasos son los siguientes:
Paso 1:
abrir en un navegador la página de ecoestadistica, ingresa a través de esta dirección Ecoestadistica (pinchar sobre Ecoestadística) se verá la siguiente página, debes registrarte como usuario nuevo.
Al hacer click sobre esa frase, aparece la siguiente figura:
Paso 2:
Completa la información que te piden, mientras más raro sea el nombre mejor,(recuerda dejarlo anotado en alguna parte) de esta manera no aparecen errores, porque ya existan personas con el mismo nombre de usuario.
Despues de ingresada la información haz click en Registrar. Ahora aparece la siguiente pantalla. Para comenzar a ingresar las páginas en las que quieres ver tus estadísticas haz click en Registrar Nueva Web!!
Paso 3:
Se despliega la figura que hay a continuación, completa los datos tal como lo indica la figura, de acuerdo a lo que quieras.
Paso 4:
Pulsar Siguiente, ahora se despliega lo siguiente (debes copiar el codigo que hay en esta pagina)
Paso 5:
Abre tu blog, ingresa a la sección de plantilla, como lo indica la siguiente figura.
Paso 6:
Baja hasta el final del código que se despliega en esta sección. Copiar el codigo antes de los últimos 2 comandos, tal como muestra la siguiente figura (antes de body y html, están en las 2 últimas líneas). Agranda la figura si no puedes distinguir donde copiar el código.
Paso 7:
finalmente debes pinchar sobre el botón naranjo “guardar cambios de plantilla” y aparece otro mensaje, también debes pinchar sobre “Tiene que volver a publicar su blog para ver los cambios”, tal como lo indica la siguiente figura:
Paso 8:
Para ver tu blog haz click sobre ver blog, como se muestra en la sigiuente figura y eso es todo.
Paso 9:
Fin, aquí puedes ver que al final de tu blog esta el numerito que indica cuantas veces lo han visitado, si en la página de ecoestadistica eligiste invisible, solo aparece el símbolo y no la figura. Para cambiar esto debes ingresar a la página de ecostadística, aparece una lista con tus páginas que incluiste, en la que quieras cambiar de invisible a visible o viceversa, debes hacer click en la palabra modificar, puedes hacerlo cuantas veces quieras.
Aquí hay una lista de otras páginas que ofrecen el mismo servicio pero la mayoría en Inglés:
Weboscope (Español)
Miarroba (Español)
Al parecer estas son las principales, la mayoría está en Inglés, cuando tenga tiempo haré una evaluación para ver cual es mejor.
Lucky con tu counter!!!
Summer of Code Participants Chosen
Jun 24, 2005 Noticias
As mentioned earlier, we’re able to involve 410 students in this year’s Summer of Code. We’ve sent out letters of congratulations to those people, and we hope everyone will join us in congratulating them.
It’s unfortunate we weren’t able to include more of the almost 9,000 applications — there were so many students that the mentoring organizations would have liked to work with. We hope to continue Summer of Code in upcoming years, and if we’re able to do so, we hope to hear from all of you again. Thanks for all your hard work!

Gnomedex - Microsoft Goes RSS!
Jun 24, 2005 Noticias
Word is filtering out from Gnomedex in Seattle WA this weekend (picked up via local Vancouver tech guru Darren Barefoot) that Microsoft’s new Longhorn OS & IE 7.o will have deep ties into RSS, embedding and enabling your subscriptions for any of your application software.
Take a look at Barefoot’s notes on Keynote Speaker Dean Hachamovitch, the General Manager of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team. Looks like MS is buying in big time. Going to help convert the masses? You bet. You couldn’t get a bigger predictor for future mainstream acceptance. Too bad it’s going to take until Christmas next year to see the new Microsoft.
Previewing Blawg Review #12
Jun 24, 2005 Noticias
Kevin J. Heller, an intellectual property, technology and trademark litigation attorney in New York City New Jersey, is hosting the next Blawg Review at the new and improved Tech Law Advisor blog.
Kevin’s one of a handful of lawyers who was blogging even before Denise Howell coined the word blawg. Heck, in his introduction post in August 2002, he even calls it a “web log” with the archaic two word variation of weblog.
The goals of the Tech Law Advisor web log are to provide information, resources and news commentary on issues at the intersection of Law, Technology and Liberty, especially to point out those times where individuals are attempting to use “law” to hinder and trample the rights of others; whether this be the right to share music, link to other web sites or to simply contract freely. Its long term goal is to help promote democratic values in a digital age, to study how new media alter culture and society and to investigate how law and technology interact.
Years later, this blawgfather is still living on the bleeding edge of the blogosphere. A scary place for most lawyers, Kevin is right in his element, applying technology in the practise of law.
[client] finds it frustrating that his lawyers want to come in, solve a problem, and then get out — but don’t want to learn about the business, don’t want to really work with the client and develop a relationship as an advisor, and don’t really want to act as a team
Heller is a real “team player” when it comes to working with other lawyers on innovative projects like Blawgcast.com, and Blawg Review itself, which found its legs as a collaborative internet project for law bloggers based on Kevin’s initiative and the “proof of concept” he started on his own―with the moniker “Belly Up to the Bar”. Did we mention he’s got a great sense of humor?
Nunavut Lawyers - A Dime A Dozen!
Jun 23, 2005 Noticias
So was Paul Okalik (Premier of Canada’s northern territory of Nunavut) thinking … Finally, a guy can get some help around here! or… Oh man, there goes the neighbourhood! Lawyers are a dime a dozen these days. Read on.
An interesting story that I picked up via the USask LL Blog: the first graduating class from the Akitsiraq Law School, Canada’s first Inuit law program, has multiplied the number of lawyers from one (Okalik) to an even dozen! Talk about being pioneers! And if a couple of the new graduates get along, they could even form the first law firm.
The law school is a joint project by the University of Victoria in western Canada and the Nunavut Arctic College. A brief description from the Akitsiraq Law School website:
“Inuit students are able to earn a Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB) from the University of Victoria through the academic program offered in Iqaluit, Nunavut using the facilities of Nunavut Arctic College. Courses are taught by University of Victoria faculty members and law professors from other Canadian universities with assistance from local members of the legal profession. Graduates of this program will have exactly the same credentials to practice law as students graduating from southern law schools.”
Congratulations to all the new graduates! Not everyone gets an opportunity in life to be a true pioneer. I know the Governor General of Canada never showed up to my graduation.
Overlawyered on Blawg Review
Jun 23, 2005 Noticias
Walter Olson, who can’t get enough of lawyers, really knows how to get the most out of participation in Blawg Review.
In a well-crafted post, he notes that Blawg Review #11 is up at Al Nye the Lawyer Guy, who picked up one of his posts from Overlawyered this week. Walter points to a couple of highlights of this week’s issue that should be of interest to the many readers of Overlawyered. Much traffic followed the links back to Al Nye the Lawyer Guy.
By the way, did we mention that Blawg Review will be hosted at Overlawyered on November 21st? I look forward to seeing if Walter picks only blawg posts that are consistent with the Overlawyered thesis. If so, that would be quite different from a typical Blawg Review.
