040603 -
040604 - Incurred $7 cab fare on the way over, and anther $6 on the way
040605 - back, because I walked back to 4th street and Mission, then took a

040608 - Received payment for SDS program installed yesterday.

0409 - Progress
0410 -
041001 - Denis remembered his password this morning. When I arrived, he had
041002 - entered a lot of records.
041003 -
041004 - He has done a pretty good job so far using the Schedule.
041005 -
041006 - He needs more practice on the keyboard, to handle capitals at
041007 - beginning of sentence, and for proper names.
041008 -
041009 - Denis mentioned he could not find the caps lock key. He is used
041010 - to it being next to A key, but on the new keyboard, it is next to
041011 - the space bar.
041012 -
041013 -
041014 - Mentioned the advantage of keeping performed records at the top of
041015 - the list.
041016 -
041017 -
041018 - We went through Training lesson #1, in detail, and he tried Help.
041019 -
041020 - Showed him how to scroll the profile and how to do line draw
041021 - functions.
041022 -
041023 -
041024 - He said a printer is connected to his computer, so on Monday, we will
041025 - try loading fonts and printing a memo/letter.

041028 -
041029 -
0411 -
0412 -
0413 - Data Entry
0414 -
041401 - Emphasized the importance of using a space for segmenting paragraphs,
041402 - so Alt F9 will justify and assemble lines into paragraphs.
041403 -
041404 -
041405 - Showed how F7, F8, F9 and F10, are for going left, right, up and
041406 - down. Showed how F7, also jumps the cursor to the left margin.
041407 -
041408 - Outlining was demonstrated so he can commence typing anywhere and it
041409 - will begin a new outline level.

0417 - Follow Up Procedures
0418 -
041801 - Using F1 F8 in SDS Records
041802 -
041803 - Denis figured out how to use F1 Shift F1 to make a new record from a
041804 - prior record, or at least I think that's what he did.
041805 -
041806 -
041807 - This afternoon, I showed how he can make a series of calls to a
041808 - particular Contact within a single record, instead of making a
041809 - separate record for each contact. Showed how F1 F8 makes an outline
041810 - level and enters the current time.
041811 -
041812 -
041813 -
0419 -
0420 -
0421 - Data Entry Phone Calls
0422 -
042201 - Denis asked if I enter stuff in SDS while I am talking on the phone. I
042202 - explained I do this sometimes, but usually make general notes on
042203 - scratch paper, then enter the detail I feel is necessary after the
042204 - call. I try to enter during the call as much as possible though,
042205 - because that avoides a separate step.
042206 -
042207 - At a minimum, I create the record of the call during the call, and
042208 - flag it for follow up. This reqires getting the last record on this
042209 - subject or with the Contact, and using it to make a new task.
042210 -
042211 - Sometimes there is not time for this, so the paper notes of the
042212 - calls are saved and entered later.

0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - We updated the planning record he has for discussing upgrades with his
060702 - computer consultant, which we set up yesterday, ref SDS 2 line 081558.
060703 -
060704 - Added an item that the hard disk light is not coming to indicate when
060705 - a read or write is occurring.
060706 -
060707 - Also added that the turbo switch does not seem to be working. Denis
060708 - noticed that his other programs are running very slow, per ref SDS 3
060709 - line 050601.

060712 - Scope of SDS Installation
060713 -
060714 - Dennis envisions several of the firms architects using SDS to track
060715 - work progress. He would like to be able to do billings with the SDS
060716 - control field.

Subject Index
0804 - Summary/Objective
0805 -
080501 - Contract Obligations
080502 -
080503 - I explained the primary idea of the Subject Index is to reflect the
080504 - commitments and deliverables of an organization in its contracts, see
080505 - for example ref OF 1 line 260.
080506 -
080507 - Subjects are the deliverables.
080508 - Functions are the types of tasks needed to accomplish Subjects.
080509 -
080510 -
080511 - We discussed how the distinction between Subject and Function
080512 - can blur, for instance "design" can be a subject, since it is
080513 - a major obligation of an architect to deliver a "design" that
080514 - consists of plans and specs. As well, "design" can be a
080515 - function, since plans are developed by a processes of
080516 - "design."
080517 -
080518 -
080519 - Kwan Henmi Existing Practice
080520 -
080521 - We layed out on the blackboard in the downstairs conference room,
080522 - various ideas about structuring the information he typically captures
080523 - on projects, to visualize the structure of a project.
080524 -
080525 - Considered further how to apply his current project numbering scheme
080526 - within the 5 digits available for projects in SDS. He is using the
080527 - year, then the next two digits thus:
080528 -
080529 - 923800
080530 -
080531 - ...where 92 = 1992
080532 - 38 = project #38 in 1992
080533 - 00 = changes to the original scope.
080534 -
080535 - Since the six digits are one more than the standard, and the latter
080536 - is configured to fit doc log, etc, we considered omitting the 9,
080537 - since until 2000, that position will be constant.
080538 -
080539 - That's one idea. Another would be to move the "changes" field to a
080540 - detailed level. I think the current system intends to apply all of
080541 - the lower level elements to each change.
080542 -
080543 -
080544 - I received his standard time card, which we discussed a little
080545 - yesterday. This weekend, I will try to get a more definitive set
080546 - of functions and subjects.
