220906 - Morris has done more experimenting with the code, discussed on 071212.
220907 - ref SDS 31 ST3J  He has also communicated with Jack Park, either by
220908 - telephone or correspondence.
220910 -  ..
220911 - Morris explained plans today on using Java instead of the "c"
220912 - programming language planned on 070907, ref SDS 28 JQ88, to code SDS
220913 - essential features, as discussed with Gary on 071222. ref SDS 33 PA6P
220914 - He feels that programming "data objects" could be easier with Java
220915 - applying his prior experience with this method. "Data objects" sounds
220916 - similar to Eric Armstrong developing Knowledge Management for OHS/DKR.
220917 - Efforts using XML and Java throughout 2000 were reported by Eric on
220918 - 001122. ref SDS 11 E47M  Eric reported on 020530 that the SDS design
220919 - has proven effective. ref SDS 19 Y89F

220922 - Case study on 060211 reports prior consideration of Java. ref SDS 25
220923 - YY5K  Related case study on XML was developed in the record a few
220924 - weeks ago on 071113. ref SDS 30 XC3M

220934 -         ..
220935 -        [On 080124 Morris reported progress developing SDS using Java
220936 -        development tools with Ruby on Rails. ref SDS 35 W05L

220939 - During the meeting on 071212 Morris reviewed comments by Ken Holeman
220940 - explaining limitations using XML for Knowledge Management. ref SDS 31
220941 - IP8H
220943 -  ..
220944 - On 071113 Jack Park indicated that Iris is based on Java programming
220945 - language; he feels Iris isn't far from SDS. ref SDS 30 VY7X  At that
220946 - time, Gary reported that tools based on Java technology exhibit slow
220947 - performance. ref SDS 30 LY7W  Testing Java-based Iris on 060211 showed
220948 - slow program performance. ref SDS 25 055L
220950 -  ..
220951 - Jack Park's website for Iris reports that progam installation is very
220952 - slow, and may be improved by optimizing the code. ref SDS 30 KC67
220954 -  ..
220955 - Morris feels part of slow perforance using Java is due to application
220956 - across the Internet.  He believes that editing on the local computer
220957 - will be much faster, and noted increasing speed of microprocessors
220958 - will make responsiveness adequate for SDS efficient usability
220959 - requirements set out in POIMS, ref OF 6 6M5H, and discussed on 071113.

370405 -
370406 - Morris asked during the call today why SDS makes people productive
370407 - performing electronic records management that enables finding "every
370408 - little thing," cited by Jack Park on 010411, ref SDS 14 X34F,
370409 - illustrated by this record, but other technologies have not made
370410 - similar progress, indeed have failed attempting to develop Knowledge
370411 - Management, reported in the case study on 070126. ref SDS 26 QH8L
370412 -
370413 -        [On 080127 letter to Morris cites question today on reasons SDS
370414 -        support for Knowledge Mangement has not been accomplished by
370415 -        other technologies; recommends reviewing record on 960304
370416 -        reporting Vannevar Bush vision for using computers to perform
370417 -        electronic records management that sets a good agenda for
370418 -        advancing from information to Knowledge Management. ref SDS 36
370419 -        ON3X
370421 -  ..
370422 - On 010425 Morris reported that using SDS explained in the Typical Day
370423 - scenario, ref OF 9 0001, is a "utopia" compared to other technologies,
370424 - because everything is in the right place at the right time.
370425 - ref SDS 15 EP7F  Granularity of flexible structures provide a
370426 - multi-dimensional Knowledge Space that increases command and control
370427 - of the record, explained in the record on 890523. ref SDS 1 TP8O
370429 -  ..
370430 - POIMS explains that tools to improve management productivity must aid
370431 - natural intelligence.  The design for a critical mass of integrated
370432 - and complementary functions, ref OF 5 2688, with efficient usability
370433 - that optimizes human ergonomics is necessarily complex, explained in
370434 - POIMS, ref OF 6 6M5H  Complex design can only be discovered through
370435 - trial and error over many years, discussed with Morris previously on
370436 - 010924. ref SDS 16 YO4L and, ref SDS 16 OZ65  Morris noted on 951011
370437 - that engineers don't know what to program that improves management
370438 - productivity. ref SDS 6 1341  SDS design has proven difficult for
370439 - people to accomplish for reasons presented below, citing prior
370440 - analysis by Gary, ref SDS 0 468O, and the record on 010924.
370441 - ref SDS 16 JS6G
370443 -  ..
370444 - Morris commented today that using SDS according to the design does not
370445 - augment intelligence nor aid memory.  He feels better memory evident
370446 - in SDS records is due to Rod's exceptional memory.  Morris seemed to
370447 - indicate not understanding how the SDS design facilitates better
370448 - memory.  This seems conflicting with Morris' recommendation on 990721
370449 - to explain SDS benefits of better memory. ref SDS 8 MG3L  Earlier on
370450 - 940327 noted SDS linking is a self-evident benefit for improving
370451 - memory.  At that time, he cited advantage of remembering dates, which
370452 - are hard to remember without SDS. ref SDS 2 J496  Later, on 950228
370453 - Morris suggested using SDS to improve productivity of meetings because
370454 - people get angry and start yelling when everybody remembers things
370455 - differently. ref SDS 5 1994  On 960721 Morris complained about people
370456 - angry at meetings between Chips, Intel, Lockheed/Martin because
370457 - everybody remembering what happened at the last meeting differently.
370458 - ref SDS 7 0896  Roy Roebuck made a similar point reviewed on 020217.
370459 - ref SDS 18 9360
370461 -  ..
370462 - In a letter on 070913 Jack cited "elephant memory" as another feature
370463 - that aids Knowledge Management. ref SDS 29 9T4R  Previously, on 010411
370464 - Jack noted SDS enables people to "remember every little thing."
370465 - ref SDS 14 X34F  Earlier on 950223 Morris noted that people need faith
370466 - from life experience in order to be diligent capturing the record that
370467 - aids memory. ref SDS 4 3003  SDS strives to improve memory with less
370468 - diligence by making good management fast, easy, and fun, like playing
370469 - a piano, see POIMS. ref OF 6 6M5H
370471 -  ..
370472 - This record indicates SDS provides support for better personal and
370473 - organizational memory and management - see POIMS. ref OF 3 6221
370475 -  ..
370476 - Morris today noted that he has discussed SDS with Jack Park.  He and
370477 - Jack feel that Knowledge Management practice evident in SDS records,
370478 - like this one, is due to Rod's diligence rather than SDS design for
370479 - intelligence support set out in NWO. ref OF 13 A56M  The role of tools
370480 - to leverage diligence was discussed on 990816 citing the Boy Scout
370481 - "napsack" analogy. ref SDS 9 2880
370483 -  ..
370484 - Under the "diligence" theory that other tools are equal to SDS support
370485 - for "intelligence," if only people would work harder, the energy
370486 - problem is solved by everyone walking to work, school, the store,
370487 - rather than learn to drive a car, or learn to press all the buttons in
370488 - the cockpit of a 747 airplane.  Give everyone a pick and shovel,
370489 - rather than learn to press complex levers using a backhoe.  The fact
370490 - that not everyone wants to learn scalable skills for excavation,
370491 - transportation, energy, etc., does not mean that skills using SDS to
370492 - leverage intelligence delivering scalable knowledge are not beneficial
370493 - for some people to learn in order to benefit everyone else.
370495 -  ..
370496 - Diligence is presented in NWO, ref OF 14 PQ4M, on overcoming the
370497 - burden of cognitive overhead. ref OF 14 LH6K
370498 -
370499 -        [On 080206 Morris having fun using Ruby on Rails (ROR) Java
370500 -        software development technology; makes hard work experimenting
370501 -        to test out ideas fast and easy, which reduces the level of
370502 -        diligence needed to get things done. ref SDS 37 RR3F
370518 -  ..
370519 - Morris also indicated today that Rod can use Microsoft programs to
370520 - accomplish SDS support for Knowledge Management by being more
370521 - diligent.  Reflects discussion during the meeting on 071212.
370522 - ref SDS 31 515J, citing the record on 020110 when Morris indicated
370523 - that Microsoft software supports the practice of management better
370524 - than SDS. ref SDS 17 2W5J  At that time, the trauma of paradigm shifts
370525 - drives people to become willfully blind, ref SDS 17 DL5O, There were
370526 - no examples cited of anyone using other tools with greater diligence
370527 - to accomplish Knowledge Management.  Case study on 070126 shows
370528 - everybody has given up on every aspect of Knowledge Management,
370529 - ref SDS 26 QH8L, except for SDS, illustrated by this record, and the
370530 - case study on 070126.
370532 -  ..
370533 - Eugene Kim advocated people use greater diligence applying Microsoft
370534 - programs everybody likes, reported on 001126. ref SDS 12 4E3X  Eugene
370535 - did excellent work providing a website portal on the Internet for
370536 - people to implment his recommendations to use greater diligence.
370537 - There is no evidence anyone else ever applied enough diligence to
370538 - accomplish any aspect of SDS.  On 070904 there was a report that
370539 - everybody gave up. ref SDS 27 DV5R
370540 -
370541 -     [On 080108 letter to SDS development team suggests following
370542 -     Eugene Kim's proposal for people to apply more diligence using
370543 -     Microsoft programs by conforming subject fields to the content of
370544 -     email correspondence. ref SDS 34 Q39M
370546 -  ..
370547 - On 030407 Gary Johnson lists information management tools people use
370548 - for trying to do Knowledge Management without SDS, ref SDS 21 6Q4H, as
370549 - Eugene Kim proposed on 001126, ref SDS 12 QW8I, which takes a lot of
370550 - dilligence to learn, maintain and decide which tool to use for various
370551 - situations. ref SDS 21 R24N
370553 -  ..
370554 - On 040203 Boeing asked Gary Johnson to use Microsoft programs with
370555 - greater diligence in order to accomplish intelligence support without
370556 - SDS.  He worked hard to accomplish this assignment. ref SDS 22 FJ95
370557 - On 040227 Gary reported this was not successful. ref SDS 23 RH6K
370558 - Gary's letter to Boeing on 040402 related difficulty using Microsoft
370559 - programs with greater diligence was not effective.
370561 -  ..
370562 - On 010924 Morris reported SDS improves management better than other
370563 - tools. ref SDS 16 NK4J  He further indicated that nobody uses other
370564 - software the way SDS supports working intelligently. ref SDS 16 XT5F
370566 -  ..
370567 - These perspectives reflect frustrations about SDS design that
370568 - leverages the mystery of human cognition, noted in NWO. ref OF 21 42HC
370569 - Diligence is only effective with tools designed for efficient
370570 - usability, noted by Jack Park on 001130, ref SDS 13 H17O, Mike Poremba
370571 - on 020531, ref SDS 20 5M3G, and Morris on 010425. ref SDS 15 EP7F
370573 -  ..
370574 - Gary Johnson explained in a letter on 070904 challenges of designing
370575 - technology for Knowledge Management, ref SDS 27 DV4R, which was
370576 - previously explained in the record on 010924, ref SDS 16 JS6G, also,
370577 - discussed above. ref SDS 0 M64O
370579 -  ..
370580 - Review at that time shows SDS transforms the paradigm of "diligence"
370581 - doing hard work into fun "working intelligently."  Experience builds
370582 - faith that efficient usabiity changes negative into positive synergy
370583 - executing complementary commands that optimize productivity.
