Putting the “PERSPECTIVE” wiki on my work notebook

Wednesday, February 8, 2006

Now you’d think since I got it on my personal notebook, this would be trivial. Wrong. Several bumps. Right now I’m stuck trying to add antoehr user. Sigh. Nothing’s every easy.


Getting turkeys to recognize the value imperative.

Wednesday, February 8, 2006

We don’t work!

We generate value, retaining some small portion for ourselves. Anything that threatens our retention is a critical concern.

To a lesser extent when the relationship between value liberated and value retained changes, OR is PERCEIVED to change, the entire generation process is at risk. All we can count on is that retained value which is cleared in our bank. Bonuses, 401k contributions, options, perks, defered salary, and or anything else can be not given, called back, or changed.


Used barnes & Noble gift card

Wednesday, February 8, 2006

What’s the big deal about that? Well, I wanted to get rid of these gift cards before I lose them. Argh. But what can people give a giant turkey nerd but a gift card for books. Hardware! But that’s a different rant. Anyway, I was writing my great American novel this moring on my handy dandy wiki when I used a phrase. I searched that phrase but could onl find it in Google’s Book search. It was very handy.

“the long sobs of the violins of autumn …”

So it gave me confirmation of the quote I wanted. (You wonder how I even remember that? I tell every one that I am a font of useless knowledge. Watch me play Jeopardy!)

So Google Books did make a sale for the publisher. They wouldn’t have gotten that sale without it.

Interesting?
