Thoughts on Various Subjects
Jan. 28th, 2016 09:29 amHerewith, some thoughts on various subjects.
Writing
Elizabeth Bear, a prolific writer, is wise on finding your voice in writing and in life.
Doing Things
For the past decade, I was Fundraising Czar for my Rotary club. The slightly humorous title aside, that meant I was responsible for raising the $25,000 to $35,000 a year our club spent on various charitable projects. This year, I handed that title off to another person. I'm still on his committee, so I get to see how he handles things, which is very differently then I did. There really is more than one way to skin a cat.
Computer Users
As an IT professional, I get irritated when people get errors on their system which they don't read. My irritation is that, having not read the error, they then call me because their system doesn't work. The picture below explains things from the end-user's perspective.
