  scope

  on Do Hourly Employees Even Make Sense Any More?
  You're assuming the scope of the work is set in stone, as in "do what needs to be done". that's rarely the case.
  
  in fact, the scope and priorities are constantly shifting, and if you don't set a metric, that means you'll be forced to renegotiate at every turn.
  
  When I charge per hour, I make clear my client pays for his indecision, not me.
  
  Re: interruptions, turn it off and buckle down. It's the correct thing to do, when you're working on the clock.

  trackrights, instead?

  on Journalist Demands Google Give Up Its 'Fair Share' To Newspapers
  right now google is positioning google reader to compete with twitter and facebook. using content it doesn't own.
  .
  i understand copyright is dead in a digital society, but I'd appreciate if I can keep track of visitors of my own content. google keeps this metadata (central to its business model), but it doesn't share. that's unfair.
