Dear Rod,
[Responding to your letter today...] I am astounded! And envious.
Here I have an unorganized desk, papers and binders all over the floor and furniture, hasty scribbles I can barely decipher myself. And then I see your extensively cross-referenced Diary, which you have maintained for years.
My questions: How do you manage that? How much time does it take? Next level of question: How does it integrate, X-ref. with other KM schemes? Please, Rod, don't rush!!
I am still behind on the Colloquium, and just when I thought I am about to catch up, other items come to the fore. Just accepted Doug Engelbart's invitation to be a webmaster for the Bootstrap Institute and trying to field my wife's caution, "well, how are you going to do that with your Fleabyte and all?" And with all sorts of other things.
I believe that I must catch up first (while maintaining Fleabyte after a fashion), then catch up with the Discussions, to which you also made numerous contributions -- while learning more about webmastering.
After that, I MUST look at KM in the context of Fleabyte, i.e. assembling loose pieces of info into shortest possible, sensible wholes and turfing out redundant material (which I call "dandruff").
So, I definitely want to get back to your intriguing e-mail to profit from it in comfort instead of in haste.
Regards,
Henry
