It’s closing time. After spending almost all of the last thirty years of my worklife as a consultant, I finally walked away. As of last week, I have returned to the risk career I left a long time ago. I joined a large financial company’s technology risk management oversight group where I’m an internal consultant. As a part of this …
When I started looking back over many of my older posts in my WordPress site that I pulled in from the original sites, I noticed that the comments were often out of order. They weren’t reverse order, newest to oldest. They were simple in no order whatsoever. Many people have had problems with the ordering due to a fault with …
Yesterday, a massive tornado hit the Oklahoma City area, concentrated on Moore, OK. This just one day after a tornado ripped through Edmond and other cities. We think about these things because my wife is from OKC, and she had family in Moore and Edmond. Today, we’re just thankful that everyone is safe. Her brother-in-law was able to clean off …
From now on, I’m not going to work with HHPs! I’m only going to work with 2HiPo’s. HHPs always sounded like a bad computer company. “Two high poe” conveys more about who you people are. So my new seminar series will be 2HiPo-centered. We also have a new logo that will be rolling out once I can find a color …
Michael Bates, who has been a frequent commenter on this blog, was recently given the nod by the Washington Post‘s Chris Cillizza as one of the best State bloggers. Michael’s blog, Batesline, covers the goings on in Tulsa and the greater state of Oklahoma. I met up with him when I was down in Tulsa last month, but nary a …
My RSS feeds have been down for awhile, apparently, depending on how you access them. And the earlier fix took down all the category pages, archive pages and even individual posts. Yikes! Should’ve seen it but didn’t. Your RSS feed should be http://feeds.feedburner.com/RequisiteWriting regardless. This is a good argument for outsourcing your IT.
During the lull between the main snow and the forecasted lake effect snows during this blizzard here in northern Indiana on Wednesday, our new baby decided to accelerate her arrival. A lot. Upshot is that we have a perfectly wonderful new baby girl — her and her mother are both doing fine — and are even back at home. But …
Just some notes for today: If you have been reading the site through a browser, and not an RSS feed, you may have noticed that we’ve been changing quite a bit. There’s a great deal left to do, so please do email me if you see anything strange happening. The goal is to make it much easier for you to …
I’ve been sick and tired of my website for years now, and with the change in how I do business, I’m moving off this look into a new one. Expect a pretty simplistic look on the website for about a week as I introduce the new layout for the site and the new business model. Also, have you taken a …
When I went to Vancouver, I was castigated by a family friend for having a company name that doesn’t make any sense. If you haven’t kept track, although I use a few Brand Names, my company name is “The Manasclerk Company”. “It makes me think of deranged sales associates at Sears,” he said, not a little derisively. I pointed out …
