gRadioall this and a cuppa...And for your mother...- November 27, 2002 So which of the many blogging tools that you've tried would you be willing to inflict on your mother, Alwin Mom Is Back Actually, she never really left. She's started posting in the comments section since she got her nifty new cable modem. I expect she'll have her own site before long... Actually, that could be a reasonable measure for software rating -- Would you feel comfortable recommending its use to your own mother (presuming you harbor no ill will toward the woman, of course...)http://radio.weblogs.com/0001215/2002/11/27.html#a524 Validate this!- November 27, 2002 It is good to have another tool to add to the effort of creating good websites (Yes, the code in this site is a horror -- I'm lazy). Updated HTML and XHTML validator. The W3C has released an updated HTML and XHTML validator, which includes support for XHTML 1.1, MathML 2.0, additional character encodings, and more. You can either validate a URL, or directly upload the page to be checked. I wonder if it will handle quoted attributes any differently from it's predecessorhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001215/2002/11/27.html#a523 Have they won- November 26, 2002 DaveW doesn't want to write about something big in his life, for fear of what some would do with that. John's page linked above is an inspiration for me. My dad is very sick. He's hanging in there, and our relationship has blossomed in what may be his last days. Of course I've been writing about it and it's some of the most beautiful writing I've ever done. But can't make it public, because the public Web can be such a harsh environment. I imagine how some of the "parody" sites would deal...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001215/2002/11/25.html#a522 There are those who can and those that cannot- November 25, 2002 Fred Sampson shares a few QOTD to make a political jab (And yes, Fred, I did like the funny, too). They struck a different chord for me, though, based on a recent read, Dietrich Dorner's The Logic of Failure, which drew may attention from its mention in Joel on Software... Bertrand Russell. "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." John Kenneth Galbraith.

Watch me make it easier to identify good objectives!- November 22, 2002 David Carter-Tod shares a nice post from a training-related mailing list. The Heydad test of objective writing. Quote: "If, however, the trowel-trade academy wants to use simulation to teach NON-masons how to clean equipment, I think they risk failing the Heydad test. Usually this applies to objectives, but I'm sure most on the list can extend it to modes of training delivery. Unfamiliar with the test It's very easy. Just take your training objective, and stick in front of it the words:...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001215/2002/11/22.html#a520 Doing just fine, thanks!- November 21, 2002 Just been really busy this past week. I was frantically trying to put together a conference tutorial, that I delivered yesterday afternoon. The results were good, but the process to get there was certainly trying. More blogging later, after I beat Radio into submission -- there's something very flakey about my connection here at the hotel, and Radio keeps switching to offline mode (I'm using Andy's offline toggle script, and something keeps triggering it.
