My id.10t error

The other day my 13-yr old son asked why he wasn’t able to make something work on the computer. I jokingly told him it was an “id.10t” error. He didn’t get it. I had him write it down, then he got it - an “idiot” error. Well, we all make them, as I just did. In setting up the October webinar I didn’t put the correct link to register: https://admin.acrobat.com/_a791885149/octslsig/event/event_info.html See the p… Continue

Nightmares do come true - "Technical Difficulties"

I went home early from work yesterday, not feeling well at all. Took a long nap, ate, watched a movie and went back to sleep and slept in. But all night I had a nightmare that I could not connect to the webinar today - connection issues, I was late, slept in, phone wouldn’t connect - anything that could go wrong went wrong in my dreams. Tossing and turning all night. I am sure you know the kind of dreams I am talking about when you are sick. Not fun! And then it happens. I log in to the webinar… Continue

Adopting Wikis in the Workplace - a Must See

There is not much that I would say, “You NEED to check this out.” But, really, you need to. One of the most oft asked questions I receive is, “How do you get adoption? There are so many hurdles - political, technologically, financially, culturally…”

If you haven’t seen Wikipatterns, go check it out. Actually, Wikipatterns has been around for a while. I have used it in efforts for gaining adopti
