Me “this week, angry pet” There is something slightly different: it is a micro-management in the workplace today. are generally inclined to try to control “all”, that no approval of my boss stamp. Also see this phenomenon in the non-profit organization, all from Computer Society of homeowners associations, garden clubs, Little League, and, yes, even in the case of the Masonic Lodge

micro behalf of X theory of leadership style, which means that it is essentially a dictator, and now, in some cases, I understand this need, but the workplace generally, and our volunteer organization, I am very confused why people have to do it, a nasty by-product of micro-management is that people become complacent, just do what they were told, nothing more, they developed into a robot body with their work less loyalty.

, simple micro-management, give your people, give them direction, but do not tell how well everyone.

2005 年 9 January 5 – university courses

Me “this week, angry pet” is a program for the university, claiming that a system of course, but in reality nothing more than to focus the development of software and so on. I am often asked the university’s “proud” of the outline, usually in the MBA level, I was shocked at how cosmetic work surface Universities system is based on real knowledge. Generally, the course provides an introductory system, but nothing else, but they tend to focus on programming languages, network and computer trends. No wonder when I started talking about the “arrogance” and engineering design / manufacturing concept, the students look at me speechless, as the “product mix”, “blueprint” concepts “of materials”, MRP and production control concept of foreign students, most system , which is why our university spits out more software than we really need one of my customers are students who can understand the concept of search agreement with much of the business, know how to interview users to understand the basic math to prepare proposals, to understand the work processes and measurement, and write effectively. Honestly, they are looking for several people screaming, and not the system software at the University of stirring candidates.

Me “this week, angry pet” is a common ritual death, another day, we have a new FedEx drivers to make our office in Palm Harbor delivery, because I happened by the door, I opened it, looked at his approach, he had on his face, as if he has a bad day frown, I opened the door, greeted warmly, shook his hand and asked him one day to go, when I signed the delivery, the driver looked at me, I asked him if there is a problem, he said no, this is only my first day was a friendly person, in reality, he asked him how to do, he said, he visited most of the company, he is almost taken for granted and abuse.

2005 年 9 月 19 – The computer according to

me “pet anger this week anger” is news, no not the same biases general news, as it can, but the computer industry news. Years ago, many of our print publications rely on objective view of the industry. Such as “Info Systems”, “data” and “computer decision” and “electronic data processing and analysis instrument” of the publication can give a balanced report, but also generate NOK advertising revenues to sustain
own, but things happen along the way a PC In 1990, the spread in the workplace. Suddenly, the new interest and loyalty to the formation and trade press basically sold his soul upstart vendors who now command the market, who are tired of the report and the unfortunate result is that the credibility of various publications have been reduced. For this reason, the publication’s circulation at a historically low, even if the “information world” and “Computer World” is only his own shadow.

me “angry pet this week,” the word “solutions” that have been widely used in the IT sector in the last decade, I tried to find the two Webster’s Dictionary and the new cultural “solution”, and of course, I can not find what
we all know that there are means to find a solution to a technical problem, this does not mean its correct a problem but a solution to the problem, but make no mistake about it, “flexible”, the ultimate representative of errors or system failure, we should refer to them as such, I was surprised, when their programmers are proud to announce that they have found a “solution” rather than admit that they have a problem, do not know how to fix it

IT department should avoid the term “solution” because it tends to stimulate end-users and developers so that they lose their confidence in the ability to solve the problem, an error wrong, I do not care whether you call it, do not try to whitewash it, fix it

I do not know, I think I got tired of this business sloppy language.

Me “this week, angry pet” is Microsoft, that’s what I call a Howard Johnson, the computer industry (with apologies to HJ), call we have them because they never provided the product is the most advanced, but they are not the worst, just mediocre and very predictable

Recently, I read to, Microsoft announced Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF or – it sounds like the World Wrestling Federation significant). However, WWF is a Windows technology that enables developers to suture MS Office applications and proprietary applications to workflow, here is another type of “bottom up” system design example, but the first set requirements and design the overall system architecture, suggests the means of bottom-up assembly process. Retro Microsoft, to be honest, I think they should stick to wrestling

October 10, 2005 – the company dress code

me “pet anger this week anger” is the dress code. Back in 1970, is widely expected that a man wearing a suit and tie to work and women dressed well, in 1980, this code is very easy, you will see a “dress down” day on Friday to the 1990 suit, tie a golf shirt and slacks instead of, but now, in 2005, we see T-shirts, blue jeans and shorts, in the workplace.

When we started at the beginning of the 1970s the company, our dress code “business casual” unless we know where our customers to beautify and was expected to dress professional stage. Over time, we gave up and require at least business casual shirts and women, women with appropriate clothing, which has been our IT staff, in particular, a positive effect, but I found interesting is that when we as small businesses, are learning ” dress up “, U.S. companies began to” dress down. ”

Me “this week, angry pet” is a mobile phone, as you will recall, the first time with the phone doctors and the medical profession that is right seen as their patients and even the vital link between the other members of his welcome. Besides the mobility of business people who need to talk to their offices and customers, including brokers, salespeople and service personnel, but later it landed in the clever tricks, this is a great way to get in touch with our loved ones, in the hands of housewives and children in emergency situations. This event is when hell broke loose, and now it seems that everyone has their own ass, or just in one of his ears, but in their cars, their motorcycles, I have even seen kids in their conversation, and skateboards, riding a bike and, yes, even tricycles, there are now more than a tool or a status symbol more annoying habits.

, James Scott Byrne stars as “President of Analysis,” which has become a cult classic movie, if you have not seen the pictures, Coburn revealed by the telephone company for each implant history of individual heads, so that a chip that everyone can send and receive phone calls (I like to see how they will handle fax). Yet the film is very mobile is predicted on the title, I’m just worried about the social consequences.

Me “this week, angry pet” is “bloatware.” Ever notice that when you get a new computer how fast to run, but over time it begins to slow as a snail, which is mainly due
so-called “bloatware” in the industry. A few years ago, programmers are very careful about how they write the software code is very tight, it is more than efficient use of computer resources concerns, but because of disk space, memory and processor capacity growth, the program less and less, and the efficiency of the machine, I remember some years ago, I was able to install a disk space 50MB PC IBM’s OS / 2 operating system, ran the NOK space to spare no effort for my hard drive, but the times have changed, hardware improvements and the Internet can view programming, but more and sloppier and sloppier if you’ve tried to install a word processor or graphics package recently, you know what I mean <. / P> I can not help but feel that this is all great plans to build into our outdated computers. Slow down software means to purchase additional hardware. Understand this is a computer as an antique when it is over 3 years old, we could keep our computers any more, if we do not have much bloatware on it to run, but I think it will not be good for the economy.

me “angry pet this week,” the word “Guestimate,” I have been on long IRM field by now, it has been bothering me is always trying to invent an attempt to appear cute and clever new word , is one word “Guestimate,” which means trying to make an estimate is only a guess, I was very good for a large estimated to predict the future is basically a bet. Like all forecasts, facts and information, will improve the estimates be, but rarely are never perfect. It is a natural tendency to avoid human estimate, since the estimated commitment expressed, people tend to avoid commitment and accountability far, especially when they are not sure of the facts. Seeing, then keep it simple, and the estimate is an estimate guess is speculation, so we do not create more third-class words “guestimate.”

Me “this week, pets anger,” the title is: “Why do we things more far more complex, they really? “In the past 30 years, I was fortunate to travel around the world, visit
many business customers, and field champion mingle, that’s one thing I always found interesting is how the IT industry has a tendency to do things more complicated than they really are, for example, building systems and software is really not the same, their complex seems to be. System, including business processes, procedures and programs, we also have information on data collection, production, storage of data, records, Documents and data elements. Period of investment, it has been like this, it is always like this, but it seems to reinvent itself every five years or so the IT industry, we now turn to the application of agile programming, data mining, SOA , business rules, metadata, things that go bump in the night and the only reason I can give to change the vocabulary is often the need to sell lots of books and magazines. Whether or people use it to make themselves look smarter than the actual. Unfortunately, this new vernacular is creeping into the university’s research and we are going to be in the next few years, kids trip, I do not know, because I grew up, I found better things in life are simple things, I think I’m surprised that more people wear “t challenge unnecessary complexity

2005 年 11 月 14 日 -. Snowbirds

I, “this week, pets anger”, the title is “Snow Birds.” November marks the Snowbird migration begins, this is the Northerners, mainly pensioners, so they began to trek here each year to Florida, of course, is their money good for our economy, but we must be with some of the fear of God for the driver, it is in SUVs who think they own the road, people from Ontario who believe they always run the school district, and others from the Midwest who are just ordinary people lost in New York, which certainly would be nice if we are running a national standard, which would make it heckova great convenience, here for us all safer if we did

2005 年 11月 21 -. Smoking

Me “this week, angry pet” American Tobacco Day is sponsored by the American Cancer Society on 17 November, as many know I enjoy a good cigar, I never get the taste of cigarettes, but I definitely enjoy a good cigar when I go to my business, I do not disturb it, it just my own time I am hurt I of smoking. understanding, I believe that all smokers And no, I do not think I was a smoking advocates said so much, I just want to say that all the anti-smokers: Please get off your back like a smokers does not mean we demon! or some stupid mistakes, but we believe this approach is characterized by anti-smokers will make it increasingly difficult to find a place for us to enjoy our pleasure, from the aircraft and all airports, restaurants and bars, workplaces, and even a car when will be our home where I absolutely draw a line and tell them to mind their own business, I will continue to enjoy browbeating I may be from anti-smoking lobby Regardless of my cigar, I do not think they realize that it is in their campaign because they are more severe, confirmed it is my desire to enjoy a good smoke.

Me “this week, angry pet” is a “micro” Today we live in a world where Theory X, managers have to determine a given task is often referred to as “micro” details in life to tell people what to do and when to do it without any interest in investment, this approach is basically saying to the workers, “You see, you are not smart, just to do it, so I want to tell you how to do this. “Therefore, they tend to stimulate the micro-and alienation of people recently, I found the same phenomenon in the non-profit voluntary organizations, homeowners associations, clubs, school organizations, sports organizations, and even church groups, running groups, the incidence of these people have the best intentions, but they rarely know how to actually manage. Unfortunately, some people involved with these organizations to meet the low power trip they are, their organization and compliance with policies and regulations with little regard, but the attempt to micro everything, people, especially volunteers, have a natural aversion to micro, quickly lose interest in their work.

Me” this week, angry pet “is a” replay. “Last week it was announced that the Rolling Stones will perform the 40th February next year at the Detroit Super Bowl half time show, I found it a bit ridiculous to give notice in the Paul McCartney of the Beatles in the past when the Super Bowl intermission entertainment, it’s not that I have these old rock and roll, because I have been in the last 40 years, the big fan of the Beatles and the stones, I just want new people, or if there is a talent to replace some of my generation people’s music, we hear a lot about rap, hip-hop, and in many countries, but Who is the real definition of this generation of musicians? honestly, they do not we Oh, I do not recommend people do not exist, because I believe it, but it is tightly marketing engineers who today control every note recorded.

, it is not uncommon for artists to write their own music, sing their own songs and play their own instruments, as it is very difficult, something more than the development of a generation of skilled workers who Beatles with the Rolling Stones, the current wave of musicians just have no staying power of marketing “flash pan” the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are great, but eventually they replay it on behalf of the music is a sign of artistic void created the media mogul has been an example of Hollywood;? how many times we have to remake King Kong, Pink Panther, in 1960 almost all the TV programs and computer-generated graphics, how some creative plot and poorly written scripts that I can do? “T believe that we have run out of ideas in Hollywood, so they feel the need to reproduce the old story. The younger generation does not really have any creativity? I doubt, they just have not been allowed to express it, On the contrary, we must sit replay, I am increasingly concerned about the impact of this stagnation in our culture, and ultimately to us, for me represents the self-satisfaction and tag in our ability to reach down. It also represents a different kind “micro” go out of businesses in the world, consider this, if the Beatles and the stones in the world today, they can not be allowed to practice their craft.

December 12, 2005 – Service (lack of)

Me “this week, angry pet” is a “service” (ie lack of), I recently joined a new cigar shop to buy some cigars, cigar boxes, I went into their and check their inventory, has launched several custom cigar on the premises, as well as from the Dominican Republic and Honduras, general commercial cigar, I stumbled on my favorite (which is 奥约德蒙特利, Sudan / Maduro), and noted that more than a dozen of them to buy debt. In front of the line is a gentleman I have bought a dozen cigars are all the same, I noticed the cashier is scanning and recording every painful a cigar slowly, so she is the owner of the disk is busy reading a magazine
