Comment on ‘Small Print’

by | May 5, 2006 | blogging, evilzenscientist, Uncategorized

No sooner had I written about the Novell blogging policy – when I got a comment from ‘SaladDodger’ asking about my use of Creative Commons and how that fitted with my restrictions on reuse.

Hands up. I was caught.

I was mid-site change and re-included the Creative Commons license without clarifying the commercial reuse of my blog posts.

I’ve redone some of the wording – it should be clearer.

In summary – please link to, trackback and quote my posts in your own blogs. If you’re a commercial entity please ping me and let me know you’re doing it. Give me some attribution.

Novell on Blogging

Novell today changed the inernal policy governing how employees use the internet.

One massive change for the good:

Personal websites, weblogs and other forms of online discussion are encouraged, and Novell respects employees’ use of them as a medium of selfexpression.

Obviously as a public company Novell requires that no confidential or proprietry information is posted. Novell has an ethics code that all employees are required to agree to (and electronically sign).

A good policy.

One interesting part it seems like my small print has been quoted directly in the policy 🙂

Novell Cool Blogs

by | Apr 10, 2006 | blogging, evilzenscientist, Uncategorized

I’ve been splitting my time blogging between Novell Cool Blogs, my family blog and this site.

I’ve now posted over twenty posts to the Novell site in a month; and I’ve been trying to slow down. I don’t want to make that site ‘mine’. However I’m still posting double that of others.

I’ll try to keep my posts coming on all three blogs – but for Novell related things I’ll probably cross post to Novell Cool Blogs. I’ve just posted on Windows Vista – I think it’s the start of an interesting thread.
