Relevance
June 22nd, 2005 |Oh, I can relate to the conversation near the end of this article on relevancy. In a company, we had an employee ID that we used to access everything as well as identification. When you call tech support or any one for help, you entered your ID before you reached a live person. On several [...]

7 Habits of Effective Web Sites
June 20th, 2005 |I remember when I started reading Covey’s Seven Habits and couldn’t get into it. Admitting this doesn’t make me look good, does it? It’s been years since I originally opened the book. Maybe it would have a different impact on me now or maybe not. I’m a highly self-motivated person, perhaps that works well for [...]

Write It Right
June 19th, 2005 |How many times have you written an email only to find an error as soon as you hit Send? When writing an email to a friend or family, most of us rarely do a second read to check our work because we take a relaxed approach with such emails. An article to a magazine, a [...]

Form and Database for Volunteers
June 16th, 2005 |My kids’ school would like to use its PTA Web site to manage volunteer submission forms as well as volunteer hours. Database management isn’t one of my stronger areas though I’ve created a few simple ones. It would simply take me too long to try to do it alone. What we need: Volunteers sign up online for [...]

Improving Your Writing…
June 14th, 2005 |Wait! Before you think this is another grammar lesson, it’s not. I promise. Cross my heart… It’s good ol’ fashioned handwriting tips. Remember that? Writing with this little stick between your fingers and thumb? I write a journal and started in 1989. It’s all me, my handwriting. Oh my gosh, I have a rough time with [...]

Tools for Thought
June 13th, 2005 |Tools for Thought is a book about the history and future of technology. You can read the entire thing online or purchase a print copy to read when you’ve been pulled away from the computer or your eyes need a break from the screen. The original was published in 1985 and the current edition came [...]

Ajax in English
June 12th, 2005 |Been hearing a lot about Ajax lately? This one doesn’t clean household products. It stands for asynchronous Javascript and XML. Actually, XML is not required in the Ajax approach. Been to Google Maps? You’ve been exposed to Ajax. It’s nothing that requires an antidote. I’ve posted a new article in the InformIT Web Design Reference Guide [...]

FeedGator
June 11th, 2005 |Whoa, dude! Two of what I think are the best feed readers have joined forces. Actually, NewsGator has acquired Nick Bradbury’s FeedDemon. According to this article, Bradbury would’ve turned them down had he not read NewsGator founder Greg Reinacker’s entry discussing the roadmap for his company. Ambitious, it is. I don’t think it affects the home [...]

BBS: The Documentary
June 10th, 2005 |BBS: The Documentary has finally shipped! The creator, Jason Scott, travelled roughly 20,000 miles by plane and car through 25 states and one province, and interviewed 200 people. He recorded roughly 247 hours of interviews, with the shortest at 5 minutes and the longest at 5 hours. At no point did he despair, except when [...]

Sidekick Kicks … and Aggravates
June 9th, 2005 |I’ve been using the Sidekick II since late 2004 and I’m pleased with it. It has one huge annoyance, however. T-Mobile wants to get as much money as it can from your calls… so it made it easy to “accidentally” dial someone’s number. I am serious. TWICE I was working to send an SMS to a [...]
