I've been huffing VapoRub for so many days that I'm approaching the point of substance dependency. Although the reduced flow of oxygen to my brain is making me feel a little dopey, I haven't taken complete leave of my senses. So when I read a Gartner representative's claims that social engineering is more of an IT security...http://securityawareness.blogspot.com/2004/11/problem-technology-cant-fix.html Chad Dickerson: Wiki goes to work.- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Techskim - Tech news I'm reading In last week's column, I talked about the potential of Wiki as an enterprise tool and promised more details on that topic this week. A recent conversation with Peter Theony, the developer of TWiki, got me thinking about how to solve some specific knowledge management problems I encounter in my daily work as a CTO. Although Wikis are still largely an underground IT phenomenon, a Wiki can be one of the most immediately useful tools in an agile IT organization.http://techskim.blogspot.com/2004/11/chad-dickerson-wiki-goes-to-work.html Fridays News Flash- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Tech Blog 2.0 Microsoft is investigating claims that several news holes have been discovered in Windows XP Service Pac 2 (SP2).

Microsoft has extended until June 2006 its agreement with Yahoo subsidiary Overture Services Inc. to deliver the pay-for-performance results, it said Thursday.

Steve Ballmer, attending the inauguration of their nice new campus in Manikonda India happily declared that development and support operations in India would not lead to a loss of jobs in the USA. Now excuse me Mr. Ballmer, but it seems to make sense that if you are employing all those in India then there are that...http://wheresyourbrain.blogspot.com/2004/11/outsourcing-ala-microsoft.html Google sees benefits in corporate blogging- (Found July 5, 2008 ) The Blog Herald Google, which implemented an internal Web log system behind its firewall about 18 months ago, has seen tremendous benefits from it and may in the future consider providing tools and expertise for this purpose to interested clients, a Google executive said.

After all, we launched the original back in, hell, was it 1997 One of the years we were all driving around in limos and walking down red carpets. Dragon had a fabulous marketing and sales team, many of whom are probably living on the West Coast now. So I couldn't help but get a little nostalgic when I read Jon Udell's review this month of NaturallySpeaking, Version 8. Jon, I didn't realize that...http://www.downtheavenue.com/2004/11/rsi_speech_reco.html Tools In Practice: More praise for wikis- (Found July 5, 2008 ) CommLog InfoWorld columnist Chad Dickerson weighed in on wikis last week: "After my conversation with Peter, I was psyched up to give TWiki a spin, so I logged into our intranet server planning to set TWiki up and check it out.
