And the winner is

I am impressed. Andy managed to find the answer on Google. I wasn’t sure you’d be able to find the pronunciation and the history of the word Seanchai on there, but then I should know better than to ever doubt Google, eh? For the record the Seanchai were traditional Irish storytellers, and it’s pronounced “shawn-a-key”.

This is my blogtree. The cool thing about this little site is that it allows you to give props to the people who first influenced you to start blogging, and see who else was influenced by the same people. For me, Scoble’s presentation at Gnomedex last year got the idea going in my head, and then reading Doc Searls got me thinking about the good ideas that could be spread around through blogging. Not that these two are the only bloggers who have my utmost respect, there are plenty, but these two were influential in getting me started and it’s nice that there’s a place they can go and see that.

  • Out of the Office

    It was nice being away from the office for most of today. The Microsoft seminar was semi-interesting. Some demo’s of new software, which was interesting, but nothing that made me want to run out and buy any of them right this minute. There’s some things in Office XP that are nice, but nothing that would…

  • One last omen

    I forgot to mention the other omen that this is going to be a real good week. Later yesterday, after I posted that stuff, I discovered that someone had thrown a rock and broken one of the windows on the second floor of our office building. The window is in an empty office so no…

  • Be Careful with Those AI Note-takers

    This is dumb on so many levels. Having a meeting assistant in such a personal meeting was probably rude and dangerous from the start. Forgetting it was there while you talked about replacing the former employee was even stupider. Maybe the icing on the cake for me is another question. If she was terminated, why did the email with the transcript still get to her? Why was her email account still accessible? 

    This might be a really good example of AI use making your systemic failures even more obvious, and faster. 

  • Since you asked…

    Got an email yesterday asking me to think about linking to another blog. This one was actually respectful, nice, personalized, and gave me the impression that at the very least this person read my blog a little bit before asking. That’s always good. My immediate response was still no, but with some caveats. Now that…

  • Bored meetings

    Next week we’re having a Board meeting. Normally, we have our Board meetings onsite, which I hate. I always end up having to help one Board member or other check their email using their laptop, and our network, and then making sure I reset all their network settings before they leave and can never get…
