2000 news archive 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 For the most recent news, go home. 22 December 2000 It's confirmed: I'll be speaking on two panels at the eCustomer Intimacy show in San Francisco, 26-28 February. See you there! 2 December 2000 We've switched ISPs. That shouldn't cause you any problems related to my domains, but please let me know if it does. Thanks, as usual, go to Doug Muth for doing the heavy lifting. 27 November 2000 Back from a trip to Comdex, followed by a week on the East Coast. Seems like a good time to pass on an ongoing conversation with the EFF regarding their position on spam, with which I somewhat disagree. 24 October 2000 After weeks of negotiations, the marketer's lobbying group mentioned below ("Responsible Electronic Communications Alliance", or RECA) started to communicate with the outside world. Unfortunately, they only opened the door long enough to throw out a note that says "No outsiders allowed!" before slamming it shut again. Read my commentary. 20 October 2000 Well, whaddya know! My legal resource site suespammers.org was named a ComputerUser Link of the Week". 2 October 2000 My sweetie Amy posted some of her pictures from Burning Man, including at least one of me, me, me!. 1 October 2000 A correspondent on Topica's E-mail Marketing mailing list asked, "how do targeted opt-out lists compare with pure opt-in? Here's my response. 28 September 2000 The "Responsible Electronic Communications Alliance" has gotten a lot of press lately. Here's my take on why you should be wary of the group's "antispam" claims. (Actually, there's a lot more to it than what I wrote, but it's a start.) 17 September 2000 My main server's been down for most of the past week and, believe me, it's been hell. You can read the whole epic in a note on sysadmin Doug's site. 13 September 2000 I gave a talk at the Communications Technology Cluster in Oakland today. It was a general overview of public relations, for a room full of high-tech entrepreneurs. Read the notes here. 30 August 2000 It's "Let's Quote Tom" week: I was in a story about Burning Man on TechWeb. 29 August 2000 I was quoted very briefly in a story about Missouri's new spam law. 18 August 2000 I've found a home for the Burning Man festival: I'll be staying with Camp Goatrodeo. Say hi if you're in the area (at 2:30 and Throat). News flash: A front-page story in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner prominently featured Goatrodeo. Whee! 8 August 2000 I'm incorporated! Geller Communications, Inc. is now registered in California: Read all about it. 7 August 2000 The tgeller.com site has been rebuilt from the ground up using Server-Side Includes. It might not look all that different, but it took about 40 hours to completely renovate its internal structure. Let me know if you find anything off-kilter. 1 August 2000 My new venture, Bandwidth P.R., launched today. See the press release. 10 July 2000 I was quoted in an article in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press about home-based servers. (Yes, this Web site lives on a box in my kitchen.) Favorite passage: "In a romantic gesture, Geller recently bought his wife her own domain..." Hey, I guess I'm married! I knew I shouldn't have had all those tequila sunrises.... Update (3 August 2000): The link to the St. Paul story disappeared, but it looks like it's making the rounds on Knight-Ridder's newswire. Here's the story in the Philadelphia Inquirer. (Well, at least until they break that link.) 28 April 2000 A few nice things happened in the past few days. First, I won a computer for beta-testing UltraDNS. Then, the D.A. dismissed the bogus prosecution I faced after being hit by a car. Finally, was named the April Employee of the Month at the San Francisco office of GCI Group through some weird clerical error. I await the painful karmic payback. 19 April 2000 Had a nice long quote in Smart Computing in answer to the question, "Is a Macintosh computer a realistic choice?". You may be surprised at what I said. (Scroll about halfway down the page, or search for "Geller".) 11 April 2000 Testified in Sacramento today on behalf of Assembly Bill 2704, which strengthens California's best antispam law. Here are my notes for the curious. 8 March 2000 D'oh! Forgot to mention that I spoke at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on 8 January. As usual, a description is on the Speaking page. 5 March 2000 My query about passing wind appeared at the bottom of Leah Garcik's column in the San Francisco Chronicle on 23 February. By noon, she wrote to say she'd already received over 30 responses; she ultimately got "about 100", and summarized them in her column of 28 February.
