Robert’s Rants & Rationalizations

(I only found this because I own an iPhone and saw it in the App Store.  I try to listen to at least one talk on my into work. – Robert)

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 200 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week.

A monthly cron job to email site’s users to click a link to verify they are still using the email listed in their account. Assumption that if user logs into site, their info is up to date, too.

Every 30 days, check if user has not verified in last 30 days

• or, has not logged into site in last 30 days
• If not, send email with link
• update tracking table with internal_table_id, date, time, user_id, event_code (for ‘validating attempt’)
  

When user clicks on embedded link in email,

• script parses URL
• update tracking table with internal_table_id, date, time, user_id, event_code (for ‘verfied’)
  

I’ll use the tracking info to put an icon, next to their name in the list of users, to show if the info is current.

BTW, writing this out helps in seeing the event, and I can’t always find that scrap of paper I first started to write this all out!

I couldn’t find traditional help avenues at Facebook: support@facebook.com
(no bounce, and no reply, either); or through two fax attempts to numbers
(650) 543-4800 and (650) 543-4801. Both do not work. How do you get FB
to answer their user’s questions?
