Working Gratis

Spending some time helping beef up documentation on a open-source project known as Thinkup. And am also trying to work my way through the code. MVC is an anagram for migraine very cold. I need a map of this stuff so I can chart my way through it. Guess I will have to write it myself. Oh fun! ;)

Back to the Tech (and my dark corner of IT)

So I spent the last couple of weeks doing both my normal IT job and filling in at meetings for my manager who was on vacation. Hectic - understatement. The press came from the folks who showed up at my cubicle doorway and proceeded to lay their needs, desires and aspirations about....about what I could do for them.
I learned alot about delegation this time around. I learned that I can't, but others can. So I passed some of the work on to my teammates, not as a manager, just as someone who needed some help. People respond to cries for help faster than they do demands for action.
What does that mean for the future? Nothing, I hope. I like doing the technical and solving the knotty problems which come up. Anonymity is the best place to be, for to be known is to be scrutinized. And, like most folks, I don't like the light, lime or not.
Cheers from my dark corner.

The Measure of Famous People

When you have over a million followers on Twitter, why would you even care if you lost 200 followers in a day? How would that matter in the great scheme of things? How is that a measure of ?

It gets me thinking about how I measure things. What is the measure of my life? Is it:

1) how much I get done at work
2) how much I get done at home
3) how much...
4) how much...

Numbers...thinking that's not a good measure. What are my goals? my objectives?

Do I even know where I am going and why? Not introspection but possibly retrospection.

This is kind of a take stock day. hmmmm......
