0908 - Summary/Objective
0909 -
090901 - Follow up ref SDS 8 0000, ref SDS 6 0000.
090902 -
090903 - Bill has still not gotten feedback from Toby or Jill on using SDS for
090904 - the fiberoptic project, as set out in the letter, ref DIP 2 0001,
090905 - confirming the meeting at PG&E on 001212. ref SDS 5 0001
090906 -
090907 - On 010104 he planned to see Jill and possibly Toby to discuss progress
090908 - examining SDS. ref SDS 8 TO5I
090909 -
090910 - Bill said Jan, a manager above Bill's contact, Jill, has asked him to
090911 - cut back hours in order to save cash flow on payroll. This aligns with
090912 - recent reporting on PG&E's cash situation due to energy prices.
090913 -
090914 - PG&E is, also, considering asking Bill to join the firm that is
090915 - putting up the cash for the $500M project that is being planned, which
090916 - would remove Bill from PG&E's payroll.
090917 -
090918 - Bill made a joke that every time PG&E gets serious about using SDS, it
090919 - seems disaster strikes to thwart the plans.
090920 -
090921 - He feels that if he joins PG&E's partner firm on the fiberoptic
090922 - project, this might provide a smoother path for using SDS.
090923 -
090924 -    We reviewed briefly challenges everyone is having keeping up on the
090925 -    Information Highway, as seen from declining earnings and stock
090926 -    prices, for example, reported today. ref SDS 10 0001  Analysis on
090927 -    001207 shows impact of poor productivity, ref SDS 3 MZ7G, because
090928 -    too many people are having too many problems. ref SDS 3 V54M
090929 -
090930 -    An example of growing demand for better management is the letter
090931 -    from Pat Lincoln at SRI earlier today. ref SDS 9 EF6M

090934 -
090946 -
090947 - I suggested that if he has some time with fewer hours in the next
090948 - several weeks, while PG&E solves the current cash flow crisis, he can
090949 - stop by to see new features in SDS.

090954 - Power Outages Well Planned by PG&E
090955 -
090956 - I asked about reports in the news that there will be 4 hour rolling
090957 - blackouts today.
090958 -
090959 - Bill said PG&E identifies about 10 blocks in their statewide customer
090960 - base, comprised of random sections from various parts of the state.
090961 - The blackouts only occur for an hour to 90 minutes, and typically
090962 - after 1600, for a period of 4 hours, until 2000.  A block can consist
090963 - of small sections in San Francisco, Antiock, Fresno, and Redding.
090964 - Another block will have different parts of some of these locales, plus
090965 - sections from other areas.  This way no one city or area is without
090966 - power all at once, and criminals cannot plan to take advantage of
090967 - power outages, because the particular parts and timing of blackouts is
090968 - a secret.
090969 -
090970 - He said that hospitals, police and other public service facilities
090971 - are not subject to power outages.  If we are on the same circuit as a
090972 - public survice facility, then no black out will occur.
090973 -
090974 - I mentioned recent analysis submitted to the DKR team meeting at SRI
090975 - on the need to increase power production, as the only long term
090976 - solution. ref SDS 7 P54K
