Using google docs for presentations

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Here’s a technical question that I need answered by …oh, early tomorrow. Lunchtime at the latest.  On Monday morning I’m supposed to do a technical dry-run for a talk I’m presenting on Wednesday. There are some logistics involved, in terms of equipment. I don’t have a projector, and the organizer of the venue is kind […]

Updates

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I spend too much time on a local forum, where I post many items, and I spend quite a bit of time on Facebook, to which I also post interesting items I come across. Between those two opportunities, plus the minimally paid work (writing) I do, I find that my poor blog is being neglected. […]

More updates soon…

Too many things on the agenda, and a looming computer-allergy as a result: the combined effect is that I’m once again behind on my “hope to do/ blue sky” list. One of those to-do items includes posting more of my FOCUS Magazine articles (in PDF) to the link here, just above my about page (see […]

Deadlines — mirages for control freaks prior to hitting the caravansarai

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

I guess I’m happy — in that slightly dazed, exhausted kind of way.

But the article turned out to be about something I hadn’t expected to write about, […]

Flickr’ing off, the back-up is complete

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Except for buying a CD or two to back up what I backed up to my hard drive, I am ready to let my flickr account go into the garbage bin of internet cool (for my thoughts on the matter, check out my new “buddy icon” on my flickr page, which I guess will be […]

One more update

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Hal at Harvard Weblogs kindly set my default setting for comments and pings to “off.” Daryl (see PS to previous entry) was correct when he advised me that the spam flood was coming through trackbacks (pings), hence turning trackback off for the whole blog solved the problem. You’ll note that this entry and the previous […]
