sending out the car-ma~~~

I worked about 45 minutes in the garden. from now 'til labor day week end I need to spend much time out there. I worked for 45 minutes. Should I do more of that - or something else? The snesible side says something else, because I need to make sure that I can keep going in the garden. ( wedding of friends in the garden that weekend. ) no kicking up the asthma. no getting too sore to move. But some how - hanging up all the clothes in the bedroom seems like no fun.

Calli, I hope the car issues are all sorted out now. I'd try to do advice but really, not my day for it.

I am heading home. I tried. But there is just jack I can get done today. I emailed some stuff home so I can plink on them later if I am so motivated.

I think sleep is really my best option.

Thanks, beth and Cass.

Can you see the garden from the bedroom, beth? I like doing things in a room where I can see what I've done with my plants (in my case, the bedroom's the only place). Maybe you could hang up some clothes, smile a little at the weed-free (or dead-headed, or what have you) sections you've created, hang up some more clothes, etc.

I hate being the post and run, come around only when I need help person, but I'm having difficulty, so here I am.

Background: Client is entering a business plan contest to win money for a new software. Wants to use wiki for documentation so that clients can help build the documentation for the software. He's had someone else read the business plan. That someone said wiki is a useless toy and to delete all references to it. I went back and included in the document names of companies that publicly stated that they really love the wiki format (he also says it's not a format).

His response: "the approach is not one that is necessarily a respected one - at least not by scholars or professionals."

Am I crazy? Is wiki really just a playtoy for bored internet geeks?

I work for one of the largest software companies in the world. We have internal wikis in almost every dept.

One of my clients just went to a "Writing for the Wired World" workshop by corporate communications guru Shel Holtz, and he seem to think that wikis, properly used, are a good corporate communications tool. Here are some of his thoughts: [link]

I watched a little tv and took a mini nap. Now I am going to pull all the empty hangers out of the closet. and hang a few clothes then go watch Friday's firefly. - hanging clothes as I feel the need . I have two hours before work.

Nine or ten years ago at Mass General Hospital, dh and a co-worker decided to build a webpage for the Help Desk. Scott was managing Operations, the Shop (people who went out and fixed your computer) and the HD.

The guy he reported to told him not to waste his time and the hospital's money. Nobody was ever going to type in "http://www.".

Thanks, guys.

GC, you restore my faith.

I'lll read the article, Ginger, and then try to summarize it in words of one syllable for the client.

GC, you restore my faith.
