091201 - We reviewed the discussion with Morris last night, and some background
091202 - on the ideas of Peter Drucker, ref SDS 5 line 268, submitted to Morris
091203 - at ref SDS 7 line 54.
091204 -
091205 - We examined the Brusman scope to see what parts someone else can do,

091208 - 44, submitted yesterday at ref SDS 12 line 193.
091209 -
091210 -     I advised of the message yesterday from Dr. Brusman, indicating he
091211 -     was expecting to receive confirmation of his appearance.  He said
091212 -     he has had to cancel several opportunities to keep Asilomar open.
091213 -     I asked if Bill wants me to tell Brusman we will not use him?
091214 -
091215 -     Bill seemed to indicate that apart from finding Dr. Brusman's
091216 -     video unexciting, he has no strong objection.  Since we have not
091217 -     heard from any of the speakers who might replace Brusman, nor
091218 -     determined their capacity to make the points on psychology to
091219 -     supplement the legal presentation by Buoncristiani, then it is not
091220 -     prudent to cancel Brusman.  The main concern is financial, per
091221 -     below analysis.

091229 - New World Order paper
091230 -
091231 - Bill will explain to Sherrill the need to read the NWO paper and to
091232 - qualify other speakers, since the other speakers have all read it and
091233 - agreed to come and speak on those ideas, per my letter to Bill at ref
091234 - DIP 1 line 46, issued at ref SDS 12 line 132.

Budget/Revenues

1306 - Summary/Objective
1307 -
130701 - Bill feels Ahmet does not want to pay some of the speakers honorarium
130702 - and not pays others.  Upon discussion, this seems to amount to a
130703 - feeling of not wanting to pay anyone honoraiums.
130704 -
130705 - Bill will review with Sherrill the advantages of our speakers and so
130706 - why it is necessary to pay them, in order to engage Sherrill's support
130707 - in explaining Ahmet why we want to use these people.  He will also
130708 - develop attendance cost/income tables to show the rates we need to
130709 - charge in order to pay for the speaker slate, and how much financial
130710 - support we need to make up any shortfall.
130711 -
130712 - What we are actually doing is providing various people and
130713 - organizations an opportunity to support the introduction to the next
130714 - step in the march of civilization, or stated another way, in the
130715 - evolution of knowledge tools.  Some people we are asking to contribute
130716 - funds because they and their organizations will benefit.
130717 -
130718 - Certain speakers are less amenable to being helped than others, at
130719 - least according to their credentials.  These certain speakers lend
130720 - weight, credibility and prestiege to the event which in turn makes it
130721 - attractive for certain other speakers to contribute funds, so they can
130722 - hear the case made for effective change, for reengineering the
130723 - practice of management.  To insist all speakers receive honorarium
130724 - would be for some speakers who are actually contrubiting funds, to
130725 - take money from their left pocket and put in their right pocket.
130726 - Thus, the matter of who is to receive honoraium must be based on a
130727 - case by case analysis.
130728 -
130729 - The weight, credibility and prestiege of certain speakers further
130730 - increases attendance so we can afford to pay them an honorarium.  The
130731 - speaker committee must make judgements about who is a draw and who is
130732 - not, and how important and unique the message is for the event, and
130733 - the benefit to the attendees.

1808 - Summary/Objective
1809 -
180901 - Followed up work at ref SDS 8 line 627.
180902 -
180903 -
180904 - Fixed Problem of Doc Log Report Not Working
180905 -
180906 - We discovered today the problem he has been having using the Doc Log
180907 - is that the c: sd 01 directory was not in the path statement of his
180908 - autoexec.bat.  We fixed this.
180909 -
180910 -
180911 - Cannot Open Documents from Doc Log, SDS records
180912 -
180913 - Another problem is that when SDS is opened with the F3 function, it
180914 - blocks opening files and documents from within SDS.  This is either an
180915 - SDS coding problem or an Medit problem.
180916 -
180917 -    [See solution at ref SDS 16 line 134.]
180918 -
180919 -
180920 - Convert to Development Code
180921 -
180922 - Bill wants to convert to the SDS development drive system, so he has
180923 - more room on c.
180924 -
180925 - I will send the SDS program files to do this and then he need merely
180926 - transfer the files.
180927 -
180928 -
180929 - Subject Index
180930 -
180931 - Today I created a separate SI for Bill DeHart.  Previously, I had been
180932 - using the PG&E accounts which have a section for supporting Bill's
180933 - home computer.   For prior history we need to use the PG&E accounts
180934 - but as of today, will use only Bill's new misc. small job SI.
180935 -
180936 -
180937 - To support Bill's decision to transfer his records, I zipped the files
180938 - that are impacted by the directory from c: sd 01.  I removed the
180939 - development macros from sd 03, and zipped the remaining files.  What I
180940 - am not sure of is what files he needs from 01 02.  I think he should
180941 - not need any, because they should all be in his sd 01 directory.
180942 -
180943 -
180944 - Directory structure
180945 -
180946 - I prepared a separate file and included in the zip file for sd 10,
180947 - that explains where the various directories go.
180948 -
180949 -    Bill
180950 -
180951 -    Here is where the directories belong for the changes you have in
180952 -    mind:
180953 -
180954 -          c: sd 01         Install from Welch and delete on c:
180955 -          c: sd 10         nul, default log on directory
180956 -          c: sd 03         Install from Welch and delete on c:
180957 -
180958 -          d: sd 08         transfer from c:
180959 -
180960 -          e: sd 08 00000     special for composite data base pointers
180961 -                             long term reports.  Create this file as
180962 -                             follows:
180963 -
180964 -                             xcopy c:\sd\08\00000\*.* e:\sd\08\00000\ /s
180965 -
180966 -          f: 02            transfer from c:
180967 -          f: 03            transfer from c:
180968 -          f: 04            transfer from c:
180969 -
180970 -          h: sd 04         Install from Welch and delete on c:
180971 -          h: sd 05         Install from Welch and delete on c:
180972 -          h: sd 06         transfer from c:
180973 -          h: sd 07             "      "  "
180974 -          h: sd 09             "      "  "
180975 -
180976 -
180977 -    You will need about 10 MB on the e: drive to store the composite
180978 -    data base pointers for when you call a subject/document/reference
180979 -    report for more than 3 or 4 months.

1904 - Summary/Objective
1905 -
190501 - Bill asked how to specify diaries for more than 15 days back.  We
190502 - looked at the main menu and it did not have good explanation.
