The Shifted Librarian points to Zempt – a multi-platform (so far Windows but Linux and Mac planned) tool for posting to multiple Moveable Type blogs. In my situation where I have three personal blogs (main page, library, linkblog) plus two corporate ones inside the firewall this could be a real boon. Key features: Intuitive, easy-to-use interface Post entries to your Movable Type blog Full support for Movable Type entry fields including: Title Body Extended Entry Excerpt Keywords Multiple categories Comment Status TrackBack status Send TrackBack pings Edit entry date and time Easy text and paragraph markup.
In the comments to the last entry Frank Patrick raised a “clarity reservation” (TOC-speak for “huh?”). I’m not surprised, those were both entities which assumed a considerable amount of background knowledge – so I’ve added the following two tree fragments: T-i-U dictates strategies people use and People have Model I Theory-In-Use The entire CRT(Current Reality Tree) so far can be seen in this PDF
While the wiki is offline, here is the first part of the CRT I’m building from the Argyris book
Have had to take the Wiki offline as one of the scripts was causing my hosts major problems. updated 07/07/03 the problems were being caused in the RCSLite part of TWiki – this is an optional feature for use when RCS is not available (as it isn’t on my new host) The problem was the rdiff script which calls RCSlite – going off somewhere strange and hitting 95% processor utilisation to the understandable disgruntlement of the host company… I’m experimenting with some other wiki software, hopefully back soon…
Hyperlinks to broken Wiki deleted The work following on from ealier posts 1 2 3 was starting to get too convoluted for blog posts, so I‘ve set up a Constraints section on the Wiki, and started to document my process there Having discovered the Twiki Draw plugin, I think a wiki with a drawing tool could well be the perfect tool for developing this sort of exchange…

Euan points to a motivating quote by Jack Ricchiuto : bq. In our communities of work, trade, life, faith, and practice, we need to have conversations about what we most deeply care about as we form karmic images of our personal and collaborative futures.

If you can see this entry then you are looking at the new site for my blog – hopefully the DNS entries will propagate fairly quickly… I’m still with the same hosting company – they are good value and are always very responsive to support calls. I’ve moved hosts from one of their older Unix accounts onto the new Linux space they are offering – faster, better control panel, more up to date features…
Over at Reforming Project Management Hal Macomber is seeking to transfer the learning from Lean Production into the project management world. In Lean Production there exists the concept of the “visual workplace”, commonly expressed through the 5S model. Hal points out that projects may not always involve material products and resources but always involve people and conversations; it therefore makes sense to translate the 5S model into what he calls the 5R Protocol for a Listening Workplace:
