170501 - Follow up ref SDS 6 0000, ref SDS 5 0000.
170502 -
170503 - Kathy made excellent progress today configuring Google Chrome Remote
170504 - Access for SDS training and support. ref SDS 0 L35I This required
170505 - creating a Google gmail account. Created temporary SDS account for
170506 - Kathy by substituting her name for an inactive user. ref SDS 0 476O
170507 - Created records for Kathy so she will have activity in her diary.
170508 - They need more work when time permits. ref SDS 0 R87L Discussed

170510 - and money. ref SDS 0 YQ4K

1708 - Progress
1709 -
170901 - Previously, installed c17 for Kathy to use SDS, reported on 130110
170902 - 1602. ref SDS 2 V85G Last month, updated SDS records on c17. 130402
170903 - 2011, ref SDS 3 OG5J
170905 - ..
170906 - Today, Kathy wanted to write a report on work performed by a service
170907 - vendor to fix her car earlier this afternoon.
170909 - ..
170910 - Kathy setup up Google gmail account...
170915 - ..
170916 - Kathy then used the gmail account to configure Chrome Remote Access on
170917 - c17.
170919 - ..
170920 - This was a considerable effort requiring persistence and imagination
170921 - to work through online instructions.
170923 - ..
170924 - Once Chrome Remote Access was working, was able to access c17 to
170925 - create an SDS account for Kathy. On an interim basis, assigned an
170926 - inactive account to Kathy, so she could work on creating a few
170927 - records, and begin getting familiar with the environment.
170929 - ..
170930 - This "new account" won't really work, because those records are not
170931 - configured for the new Subject Index structure. Contacts is missing,
170932 - and other features. For initial orientation, this configuration will
170933 - be adequate.
170935 - ..
170936 - Need to set up standard account for Kathy on c17.
170938 - ..
170939 - This is one of the last tasks to convert SDS code into the java
170940 - platform, and is scheduled after doing the Contact system.
170942 - ..
170943 - Suggested Kathy read through Help for Schedule.
170945 - ..
170946 - Kathy created 4 records on activities today...
170947 -
170948 - 1. Fix problem alert on car emissions.
170949 -
170950 - Action item pending to enter the invoice from the service
170951 - vendor who did the work. Found an example entering an invoice
170952 - shown in the record on 120128 1116. ref SDS 1 4G6N
170954 - ..
170955 - 2. Visit friends at convalescent home.
170956 -
170957 - This needs further editing.
170959 - ..
170960 - 3. Letter on progress diagnosing and treatment to recover from
170961 - ruptured achiles tendon.
170963 - ..
170964 - Kathy has action item to enter background showing evolution of
170965 - diagnosis from cellulitis, to sprained achilles heel, to
170966 - ruptured tendon.
170968 - ..
170969 - 4. Google Chrome Remote access procedures.
170970 -
170971 - In this record entered instructions for future remote access
170972 - sessions.
170973 -
170974 -
170976 - ..
170977 - Communication Drives Quality of Work Investing Time for Deliberation
170978 -
170979 - Kathy asked why the quality of writing using accepted grammer is
170980 - important to writing in SDS records?
170982 - ..
170983 - "Thinking through Writing" creates a well ordered record that augments
170984 - intelligence (i.e., understanding cause and effect), through clear,
170985 - concise, complete communication. Grammar provides rules of the road
170986 - for "alphabet technology," ref OF 1 ER3G, essential for accurate,
170987 - consistent understanding. ref OF 4 3742
170989 - ..
170990 - Kathy seemed to indicate experience over many years providing medical
170991 - services shows communication can save lives by saving time ignoring
170992 - grammar. Cell phones and hurried entries on the job make investing
170993 - time for grammar seem like unnecessary overkill in the moment.
170995 - ..
170996 - POIMS further explains...
170997 -
170998 - Formal rules of punctuation and grammar enable consistent
170999 - interpretation among disparate people, and across generations.
171000 - These core tools of literacy for constructing writings that
171001 - accurately convey cause and effect, i.e., knowledge, comprise
171002 - an essential foundation that lifts civilization by augmenting
171003 - individual and cultural intelligence. Since the world is
171004 - multi-dimensional, people often struggle with the linear model
171005 - of text to represent context in writing. The struggle to write
171006 - discloses gaps, errors, and confusion. Andy Grove points out
171007 - in his book Only the Paranoid Survive that ambiguity is easily
171008 - forgiven by a busy mind until failure occurs, or opportunity is
171009 - lost, absent the struggle to "discover what we think" by
171010 - writing it down.
171012 - ..
171013 - Jotting things down hurridly without grammar, e.g., starting sentence
171014 - without capital letters, ending without periods, works well saving
171015 - time in the moment when context is evident. Days, weeks, years later
171016 - when context has been muddled by ensuing events, the author and
171017 - everyone else will not understand what the writing was intended to
171018 - convey. This makes communication the biggest risk in enterprise.
171019 - ref OF 2 IE6L
171021 - ..
171022 - SDS enables "deliberation" to discover opportunities and avoid
171023 - mistakes, also explained in POIMS. ref OF 3 2300
