Lack of response and direct human interaction is why I never pivoted to doing "online" sessions, podcasting or even online-first training sessions. As well - the fact that technical writing (in publishing at least) has been homoge

For awhile I did the public speaking circuit - my focus was on infrastructure engineering, governance and supportability. So - I would pepper my talks with real-life scenarios and anecdotes - and alot of humour - because my audiences where

Wowza... this is the first time in recent years Apple is introducing a mobile product that is a "change" from everything they have done in 10-years... (I want one... find phone screens too small, but don't want to carry a pho

It's "deprecated" now - service is disabled and you have to jump through hoops to get it working - and even then, it barely works with the latest SPO/M365 authentication rigamarole.

Finally within the last 1-2 years, SharePoint Online in combination with the various other M365 services (and Azure) is "pretty good". Low-code/no-code is available with SharePoint Lists (with some level of JSON customization

(If those numbers are accurate, personally - I have "opinions" about the legitimacy of Trumps numbers) Also - in-my-opinion, complacency around "not voting" means tacit acceptance of whomever arrives. The lack of any lar

Mostly CRUD-type data collection - or essentially what would be "Pages" in tools like SharePoint, a landing location with linked resources, text, etc. "BA's" had been building them for years before we arrived. We ca

My first exposure to Lotus Notes was to work on a migration project that was moving from Notes to "Exchange WebStorage System" (WebDAV) - which was an aborted "go-nowhere" server/service which ended-up being replace

Yes, "the hell" that has been our southern neighbours for quite some time, that apparently their vast majority of eligible voters prefers, or is too ignorant to understand their rapid decent into "pick one or more" (they

The key difference though was that their idiot leadership was also not; malignant, fascist, mean and downright evil. In fact - they recognized that they had an issue and actually got the "smart person" involved, although they were

Ah - endless hours visiting my friend as a 10-year old and playing "Speed Racer". (Let me tell you, we were NOT going for the "heavenly points"...) Years later, my first actual home PC was a "hand-me-down" VIC-

I wonder how many of these were essentially 1-person consulting LLC's - which meant a probably higher degree of "whimsy", "sarcasm", or "whit" when naming... (and/or a little counter-culture rebelliou

Over the decades, I have gotten many a weird look from family, friends and strangers when I use my head for assisting carrying things - but, it works, and often lets me use either one - or both hands to stabilize the "load", provi

Oh thank-you for that photo. Sigh - I don't want a giant, note-taking ereader - I want something about the size of a pocket book with a crisp B&W screen. Why do I need colour? I am reading novels.

Apparently the "Sage" (which is what I have currently) has a quad-core, but Kobo discontinued it. Sigh, too bad - this was my favourite to-date (needs a power-cover though...).

Actually - most jurisdictions that issue a publisher a unique root ISBN number have a stipulation that anything new published using that number must have a copy sent to them. Looked into this a decade ago for publishing eBooks via my person

Heh... I had a 130 (maybe a 120 - I missed-the-boat on getting a 2000)... and a PCMCIA modem card connected to a Motorola flip - I was reading usenet/sending emails online at coffee shops sooooo far ahead of WiFi... ... except in that

By that logic - every living being on the planet is - or can be prey for something else - and I am not disagreeing with that. But that 5,000 foot view of mine is more related to the original blog author using predator/prey as an analog

Depends on the environment - in that book for example, Arctic wolves were not the cause of large (in physical size - the caribou) prey animal population decline, even though the "feelings" of the average person was that they must
