0806 - Summary/Objective
0807 -
080701 - Follow up ref SDS 4 0000, ref SDS 2 NSRY.
080702 -
080703 - The other day I asked Morris about increasing the capacity of the
080704 - compiler and/or issuing a report showing what is being counted that
080705 - tells the compiler the capacity has been reached, since this seems to
080706 - vary from day to day.
080707 -
080708 - At that time, Morris seemed to indicate that the assembler actually
080709 - does the counting, so it is hard to report on what is being counted.
080710 -
080711 - Today, sent an email to Morris linked to this record for following
080712 - background and ideas.
080713 -
080714 -  ..
080715 - The record on 921024 indicates there may be factors that show the
080716 - amount of compiler space being used, since Morris indicated at that
080717 - time that the compiler was using only about 60% of its capacity.
080718 - ref SDS 2 4R7F  Possibly the method he used to make that determination
080719 - can be reported each pass, so we have a better sense of what causes
080720 - the compiler to run out of space.
080721 -
080722 -  ..
080723 - Morris has considered previsously....
080724 -
080725 -      Increase capacity of compiler........... 921024, ref SDS 2 4R7F
080726 -      Rewrite compiler........................ 940407, ref SDS 3 NO8F

080728 -
080729 -
080730 -  ..
080731 - In a recent call, Morris asked for the message that is displayed when
080732 - the compiler reports an error message.
080733 -
080734 - Today, I got the following message....

301301 - Attitude Willfully Blind for Personal Pique Reduce Productivity
301302 - Clueless Without Knowledge of History and Memory of Experience
301303 -
301304 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Morris saying...
301305 -
301306 -    I followed the link [in your letter today, shown below] and didn't
301307 -    see the 60% number.  I don't have a clue about this.
301308 -
301309 - Not a "clue" about how to get things done occurs when people cannot
301310 - remember relevant experience from the history of prior work because
301311 - the passage of time diminishes memory.  Clueless occurs because
301312 - organizational memory is not captured and because people do have not
301313 - the power of knowledge when access to the history of events that
301314 - yields clues for getting things done is not available.
301315 -
301316 -  ..
301317 - For example, on 011003 Jack Park reported he was clueless about how to
301318 - develop Knowledge Management to prevent information overload from
301319 - paralyzing productivity, earnings and stock prices. ref SDS 7 O74L The
301320 - record or work on the OHS/DKR project showed that Jack had a lot of
301321 - clues, and so was stymied because he could not remember any of them.
301322 - ref SDS 7 R24J
301323 -
301324 -  ..
301325 - Morris noted in a letter on 990817 that computers improve management
301326 - by improving memory. ref SDS 6 1320  This aligns with research on
301327 - 900319 showing that human memory is a major part of intelligence.
301328 - ref SDS 1 1323
301329 -
301330 -  ..
301331 - In this case, Morris was given a record of organizational memory on
301332 - prior work. ref SDS 0 INBF  Clues for making progress merely requires
301333 - clicking on a few links.  Failure to invest a few minutes to access
301334 - relevant history, reflects an attitude of willfully blind, refusal to
301335 - be helped, which Morris raised in a letter on 990817. ref SDS 6 6829
301336 - The same point was made on 990505. ref SDS 5 QU4F
301337 -
301338 -  ..
301339 - Sent a reply letter saying....
301340 -
301341 -    Morris,
301342 -
301343 -    Thanks for investigating.  The record for today has a sentence that
301344 -    mentions "about 60%", ref SDS 0 INBF, based on the record of our
301345 -    meeting on 921024 that shows you commented something about 5/8
301346 -    capacity, which is about 60%.  Take another look at the background
301347 -    when time permits, and at the compiler or assembler message you
301348 -    requested.  Not sure, but the part you want may be shown above,
301349 -    beginning with "EXPACK...." ref SDS 0 OV5L
