WebWorks RoundUp ’09
I am looking forward to attending WebWorks RoundUp 09 next month (Oct. 19-21, 2009) in Austin, TX. I will be participating in a panel titled, “Content Development Best Practices” with Alan J. Porter, Berry Braster, and Paul Mueller, fast company … Continue reading
Performance Evaluation Checklist
At the STC 2009 Summit, I participated in the Management Progression. For those who aren’t familiar with a progression, it’s a bit like speed-dating, with a somewhat smaller chance of rejection. You have a large room with several big round … Continue reading
Headed to DocTrain/DITA and STC Summit
I will be at both the Society for Technical Communication (STC) Summit in Atlanta next month (May 2-6) and DocTrain/DITA in Indianapolis (June 2-5). At the former, I will be talking about employee performance evaluation as part of a “Progression,” … Continue reading
Intelligent Content 2009: Day Two
My notes for the conference are sitting in Hertz’s lost and found (along with the very nice conference bag, which, unlike the bags given out at many conferences, was chosen by the organizers to be re-usable). So, rather than wait … Continue reading
Intelligent Content 2009: Day One
I’m in Palm Springs attending Intelligent Content 2009, a very interesting conference hosted by The Rockley Group. The venue, Le Parker Meridien, is a very nice “boutique” hotel. The conference rooms are well set up and private, and the grounds … Continue reading
Intelligent Content 2009
I’ll be going to Intelligent Content 2009 next month (Jan 29-30). I’m looking forward to it as a chance to dive deep into “Web 2.0″ with some really smart people. It will also be the first opportunity for me to … Continue reading
STC 2008: Day Four, June 4
After a few days of travel and other diversions, I’m back home and settling into the old routine. The last day of STC 2008 flew by pretty quickly. I saw two talks, plus the closing keynote. The first talk was … Continue reading
STC 2008: Day Three, June 3
Today for me was mostly split between two types of events, talks about Agile development techniques, in particular Scrum, and two “progressions.” To take the latter first, progressions were a new concept to me. A progression is held in a … Continue reading
STC 2008: Day Two, June 2
Three out of four ain’t bad, and the fourth wasn’t awful, just not excellent. Rather that drag you through all four sessions, I’ll summarize the highlights from the three I got the most from.
STC 2008: Day One, June 1
I’m at the STC 2008 conference this week and will be posting my comments here each day. This is my first STC conference, and so far I’m impressed. Registration was smooth, in part because our badges were mailed in advance. … Continue reading
