What makes me paranoid…

When the 2 cleaning girls go into my bathroom and start laughing… uncontrollably… for 10 minutes… What the hell did they find in there?!

More on privacy in the Web 2.0 world

The other day, in response to my original posting on privacy on the web, Tk said that he hoped “future employers will look past my personal life and focus on what is really important – the value my skills bring to their organization.“  I want to agree with him, however, it looks like not [...]

Tell them what you did

In project management, like in everything else, it is sometimes beneficial to be reminded of the simple truths… In a meeting the other day, the president of the company we were meeting with complained about poor status reporting delivered by his service staff. The company differentiates itself from its competition based on the additional [...]

Privacy in the Web 2.0 world

It seems to me that nearly every day I’m faced with an issue of privacy on the web. Between Facebook, this Blog, LinkedIn and general email, I’m always dealing with a dilemma of what to say and what not to say, what should I do and what steps to avoid.

Deciding to migrate (part 2)

Well, it looks like my efforts did pay off.  The client invited me to come back in early March to talk to the decision makers about Notes 8 and Productivity Tools (Symphony).

Deciding to migrate

Even if you use Notes for nothing but email, you may not be fully aware of the rich set of features that Lotus Notes/Domino offers its users.  If there is nobody to guide you, you may never discover the full potential of what you already have in your environment and fall under the spell of [...]
