GOLDBUG: A day that will live on in infamy!
Friday, April 4, 2008“I, as President do declare that the national emergency still exists; that the continued private hoarding of gold and silver by subjects of the United States poses a grave threat to peace, equal justice, and well-being of the United States; and that appropriate measures must be taken immediately to protect the interest of our people. Therefore, pursuant to the above authority, I hereby proclaim that such gold and silver holdings are prohibited, and that all such coin, bullion or other possessions of gold and silver be tendered within fourteen days to agents of the Government of the United States for compensation at the official price, in the legal tender of the Government. All safe deposit boxes in banks or financial institutions have been sealed pending action in the due course of the law. All sales or purchases or movements of such gold and silver within the borders of the Untied States and its territories, and all foreign exchange transactions or movements of such metals across the border are hereby prohibited…”
– Proclamation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, April 5, 1933

TECH SERVICE: Book On Blog problem
Friday, April 4, 2008A blog doesn’t lend itself to reading like a book — from beginning to end. So the writer has to “connect” the chapters for his readers, by putting foward and back links on the post itself.

<— Last Chapter: Snidely ties Pearl to track
Pearl hears train.
Next Chapter: Dudley arrives on scene —>

You get the idea. Now I have to do the work.

FUN: What does a Project Manager DO?
Friday, April 4, 2008FROM LUDDITE
*** begin quote ***
What does a Project Manager DO?
Project Managers are a fortunate lot, for, as everyone knows, a project manager has nothing to do; that is, except…
To decide what is to be done;
to tell somebody to do it;
to listen to reasons why it should not be done,
why it should be done by somebody else,
or why it should be done in a different way;
and to prepare arguments in rebuttal that shall be convincing and conclusive.
And then:
To follow up to see if the thing has been done;
to discover that it has not been done;
to enquire why it has not been done;
to listen to excuses from the person who did not do it;
and to think up arguments to overcome the excuses.
And then:
To follow up a second time to see if the thing has been done;
to discover that is has been done incorrectly;
to point out how it shall be done;
to conclude that as long as it has been done it might as well be left as it is;
to wonder if it is not time to get rid of the person who cannot do a thing correctly;
to reflect that in all probability any successor would be just as bad, or worse.
And finally:
To consider how much more simply and better the thing would have been done had he done it himself in the first place;
to reflect satisfactorily that if he had done it himself he would have been able to do it right in 20 minutes and that as things turned out, he himself spent two days trying to find out why it is that it has taken somebody else three weeks to do it wrong.
To realise that such an idea would have a very demoralising effect on the project team, because it would strike at the very foundation of the belief of all employees that a project manager has nothing to do.
*** end quote ***
Obviously he’s not working as hard as I am.

McBookaire: Apple tells me my order is in the air!
Wednesday, April 2, 2008My one order is coming in three pieces … err, I mean shipments. Hope that’s not prophetic. From China! Don’t know why but I thought Apple as a US based company. Guess it was stupid to think we make anything but mcdonalds in the USA.
