Lame excuses and other topics…

I know, my blogging here has been, well, it’s been crap lately. Unfortunately, I’ve been spending so much of my time writing for other projects that writing here has become a bit of a chore. I’ve had to write and edit a web RFP for the Friends of the Library, work on a series of articles aimed toward home PC users for another venture that has yet to launch, write up a course outline and other materials for a training class I’m teaching next week at work, and to top it all off, I just really haven’t seen or read anything lately about technology that has excited me enough to want to write about it!

I’ve pointed to news items and interesting little tid-bits on the link blog, but even there, nothing’s really caught my attention long enough for me to write about it. Of course, there’s always the same old bloggers as journalists, blogging as a business model, blogging as PR junk floating around, but I’m much more likely to want to talk about people doing actual information sharing, as opposed to talking about what it all means.

It’s sort of like in every workplace, there are people who do the work, and there are those who talk about it. The talkers never really seem to get anywhere on their own, and most times work gets done more around them than through them. 😉

    By the way, like I said before, I wasn’t going to say anything about the controversy about Autolink until I had actually seen it working myself. I have now, and while I’m not in love with it, I just can’t seem to get all that worked up about it. Here’s why: – It only changes…

  • A tip for small offices, and a personal note

    One of the things I’ve constantly mentioned to people about working in a small office is that it really gives you the opportunity to know your users, and tailor your message, so to speak, to their technical abilities. I’ve encouraged you all, to the best of your abilities, to try and understand what your users…

  • You gotta love it..

    Someone, who shall remain nameless but who is related to me, (although not in my immediate family) forwarded me one of those chain letter email thingies. Not a big deal, she’s been known to do this from time to time, but in this case, she didn’t take out any of the previous forwarding information. This…

  • Codename Max

    Yeah, I installed Max this evening. This is Microsoft’s new photo-sharing tool. At this point the only real advantage to this as opposed to just having a Flickr list and sharing it with people is the ability to do a couple of funky things with displaying photos as they would look framed on a mantle,…
