Communicate about telecommuting
Are you currently involved in any sort of telecommuting work scenario? If so, would you mind sharing how it works for you (or doesn’t work)?
Some interesting points that you could help me with:
- Just curious how do you tend to collaborate with your “co-workers”?
- What tools are you using when working with others?
- How do you communicate? IM, email, skype, phone, smoke signal, something else?
- Do you miss the physical proximity?
- How well do your collaborators work with you? Do they return IM messages, or answer all the questions you ask in an email?
- Any interesting stories about telecommuting that we can share with or friends?
You may ask why I care about this? I’ve recently started some more serious online collaboration and am curious if some of my experiences are shared, or if I’m just an island floating adrift. Like many of my friends, I’ve worked remotely on gigs and had to communicate from time to time, but now I’m having to do it much more often.
Looking forward to hearing from you and about your experiences outside of the cubicle!

Seth’s Blog: Promoting the promotion
The above link will take you over to Seth Godin’s blog, a most excellent place to find yourself. Usually. I’ve been a subscriber to his online writing for some time now, and enjoy his little insights and tidbits that he publishes quite regularly. And while he doesn’t have commenting on his site enabled, I could sort of understand the hassle of dealing with them (the comments) if the volume was consistently high, and there were other things to do with ones time. So, if you want to comment on Seth’s writings, you produce a post [...] Continue Reading…
50 Things Your Customers Wish You Knew
While tending to shy away from just reposting or regurgitating others posts, I’ve realized that one of the beautiful things about the Internet, the blogosphere in particular is the viral aspects that many of the CMS applications set and promote.
So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to start a new category called “Passing it on!” where I will “judiciously” choose a post or two on occasion to pass on to any and all readers that may not be exposed to it otherwise. As well, if you like the referral and decided to pass it on yourself, why not create [...] Continue Reading…
James Kirk is a slacker!
You would be correct if you thought this about me. Hell, I think this about me! People who just troll around and read blog posts, news items, comments, etc. really have no idea just how hard it is to do all the things one must do in their lives, and still find the time to be creative, witty, do proper research, and get well formed posts published on any sort of regular schedule.
Since my last bout of activity on this site (late April, I believe) I’ve:
Had a 43rd birthday (4/28/65) YIKES!
Been evicted from my home thanks to a “lovely” [...] Continue Reading…
Testing Disqus Commenting with Plaxo
Thought it might be interesting to see just how the Disqus.com commenting system would work with my blog’s comments as well as interfacing with the Plaxo Pulse stream. If all works well, you should see the Disqus commenting system in place here, and when you go to Plaxo, you “should” be able to comment there and have that comment automatically appear back here so all comments become a part of the same thread. We’ll see!
Another twitter update plugin test
Wondering if, now that the plugin has been configured, if it is going to falsely post to twitter that I have edited a post before I’ve even published the darned thing!
