Second generation Pogoplug adds more USB ports - The H Open Source: News and Features - http://www.h-online.com/open...
Bruno Miguel, Micah, Zu from AOD and 6 other people liked this
"Cloud Engines has released the second generation of its popular Pogoplug "plug-top computer". The Pogoplug unit is a small Linux computer running an ARM compatible processor that lets users connect and share USB drives over the Internet via its built-in Gigabit Ethernet connection. Supported drive formats include NTFS, FAT32, HFS+, Ext2 and Ext3. Once connected and set up, drives and files can be accessed and shared from any web connection."

Ah, that's good to know, thanks. So you could use it with no involvement of their servers. Still would be really nice for someone to productize an easy self-hosted version so that it could see wider adoption.

Arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks, self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards (worth reading) - http://www.shirky.com/weblog...
Christopher Chung, Dan Hsiao, Alexey Melchakov and 32 other people liked this
"They aren’t just bad at behaving like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks. They are bad at behaving like self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards, even a little bit, even temporarily, even when it would be in their best interests to do so. Whatever bad things you can say about those behaviors, you can’t say they are underrepresented among people who have changed the world. ... It’s tempting to imagine that women could be forceful and self-confident without being arrogant or jerky, but that’s a false hope, because it’s other people who get to decide when they think you’re a jerk, and trying to stay under that threshold means giving those people veto power over your actions. To put yourself forward as someone good enough to do interesting things is, by definition, to expose yourself to all kinds of negative judgments, and as far as I can tell, the fact that other people get to decide what they think of your behavior leaves only two strategies for not suffering from those judgments: not doing anything, or not caring about the reaction."

Painfully true in my experience. My only concern is that I'm not sure whether it's a good or bad thing.
- WoH: Minding her Steves
...and what I mean by that is women shouldn't need to be jerks to get on. The article is well written and worth reading. And, like, the author, I have no idea what the answer is. I naturally do not like to be pushy, but when I have put myself forward I have invariably done far better than I imagined I would.
- WoH: Minding her Steves
The point, or at least as I would communicate it, is not so much that you should be an arrogant jerk, but that you shouldn't be afraid of being perceived as such, because then you won't put yourself forward.
- Paul Buchheit
I understand that, Paul, and that is the crux of it. *Doing* it is the hard bit.

"It would be good if more women got in the habit of raising their hands and saying “I can do that. Sign me up. My work is awesome,” no matter how many people that behavior upsets."
- Clare Dibble
I don't disagree with this post (though it has taken me a while to get there). However the guy writing this post has obviously never been called a bitch (or equivalent) for acting a little cocky. And usually when a guy goes past his limit, is is forgiven and forgotten much more quickly than when a chick steps out of line. I would say that this finding the edge of self promotion that is acceptable is reinforced over time in both genders, not necessarily something that is innate.

My takeaway from this is that people who overstate their abilities need to actually be called on it. In Shirky's example of overstating his own drafting ability, the difference between his behavior and that of a con man is that he truly believes he can get there, and does. But I've seen a number of cases where someone overstated his abilities and either (a) made a big mess for the people he ended up working with, or (b) got smacked down when he couldn't back up his bravado. We need more of (b).
