File sharing is a hot subject these days, and I find it really interesting.
I’m making some research on it right now with this survey, please participate if you have a minute (it’s only 10 questions and it’s completely anonymous) over! The result will be published on this site under a CC license.
Here is the survey: 1 minute music file sharing survey.
Thank you for participating!
A week ago our web host ONE.COM had problems with their MySQL database.
During that time (more or less a day) our site was inaccessible. Quickly I made a database backup, just in case.
We contacted their support, who confirmed the problem and promised us that it should be solved in a day or two, thay said that we should not need to worry about making a database backup. And later during the day, it was fixed.
The day after I went to my blog to write a post, due to my challenge.
But, I couldn’t log in. WordPress stressed that I sent dual headers, so it couldn’t log me in.
Well. Let’s see here.
I could log in the day before yesterday, but not today.
Hmm…
To me it was obvious. Something had happened to the database during the time it was inaccessible.
So I contacted One.com‘s support. Needless to say, they wasn’t much of a help. After 5 days of back and forth, ping-pong they wrote “..you could always reinstall the whole system”.
So now I’ve switched to our Dreamhost account. The site will probably be a little slower for swedish visitors (it’s located in the US), but this is a temporary fix until I’ve gotten myself a decent web host (Dreamhost is quite ok, though).
However, the challenge continues!
I imagine a future world were peace, equality and play is a central part of our daily life.
We survived the climate crisis, and came to join hands as we all understood that the economy had to be reevaluated and changed.
The change occurred simultaneously all over the globe.
Entrepreneurs like Sergey Brin and Larry Page, had together with other daredevils taken an initiative to change the world.
In order to inspire other, they changed Google’s internal structure together with their employees. They evaluated different models and came to the conclusion that they would try the Participatory Economics model.
It worked out alright!
Google was more productive than ever but they come to understand that their business model wouldn’t hold in a ParEcon (Participatory Economics) society. So they adapted and came up with some new great ideas that would be of a social value to others.
They talked about this change with great enthusiasm, and released their internal documents which described how they did the change.
More and more company’s tried the same model, and soon, they were a small minority.
Minority’s quickly grow if the information can reach out in the right way.
Just look at Firefox. In a period of three years it has more than doubled it’s market share, from 15 % to 36% and has really put Microsoft up to some tough and hard competition.
That is an amazing accomplishment.
In a few years, ParEcon was the de facto standard way to organize companys, and soon laws adapted and society as a whole as well.
I want kids to learn how to program, in the same sense as they learn how to write.
I want humanity to explore the outer realms of space.
I want love to be a happy addition, not a bonding commitment.
I want science, information and technology to be free, as in free speech.
I want progress and tedious tasks to be joyous for and shared by everyone who is affected by it.
I want to live in a sustainable community were we bond together with nature, in synergy.
I want kids to be prioritized, respected, seen and heard upon.
I want play.
I want to explore psi and the energy that is called Ki in the East.
I want hang gliding to become a national sport, and an acceptable way of traveling.
I want democracy.
