Re: Status Update: Plaxo and Facebook are now in an “Open Relationship”

I am not sure why people are unhappy here? This is yet another avenue of syncing
information sources.

I know I frequently use twitter, facebook and linkedin as points of contact when I have
neglected to record someone's contact information.

Though I hope someday - y'all will do something like friend groups that livejournal
had so that I can parse then by persona a bit easier that just business, friend and family.

Cheers! - Silona

Thank you so much for highlighting this here!

Talking with Drupal programmers right now about how to implement this in Drupal. They believe we can have it setup in a month since Drupal already does pretty URL's.

http://citability.org - is the concept and those that support it!

http://citability.pbworks.com is where we are discussion the VARIOUS implementation of the concept!

Cheers!

Have you read Mike Neuenschwander post on relational symmetry?

I think this is key for obtaining trust relationships for both the creation and protection of data and "privacy" (privacy as societal construct with legal ramifications not obscurity.)

Re: Why Speakers Shouldn’t Be Paid

Silona — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:37:10 -0000

I have to admit - I mostly agree.

Mainly because I am now official spoiled by barcamps... for the most part I find it rare that the speaker is any better or useful than the guy/gal I just met in the hallway or brainstormed w at barcamp.

The only time though I have not found that to be true is conferences that are tutorial in nature. I really really want a paid trainer/speaker for those like the catalyst conference. I do want someone that has done the prezo more than once...

when I perforated my intestines...

I was only allowed lean steak, rice, carrots

I think pills w intestinal flora were also good. but couldn't handle the yogurt - milk proteins and fat didn't work for me.

Hope that helps!

Re: Getting Down With the Panache Sports Bra

Silona — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:25:25 -0000

I have pointy boobs and lots of people say "hey you have pointy boobs" and I normally say "yep they could poke your eye out if you come too close - so i wouldn't recommend it." Though most people do want me to wear a padded bra to hide it because normal bras don't. Everyone constantly thinks I'm cold or excited. I have been told "it isn't professional."
People notice what is different esp on parts of the body that are objectified and sexualized. It's annoying and people often run on the default setting of stupid. I like to say things that pop them out of their stupor and realize I'm real.

This is good. What about going the extra step and exporting it to iCal, Google Calendar, etc? Do you know of any plugins/gems/tutorials on how to go about tacking that?

Thanks

Gaurav, I am not recommending that companies allow their employees to get drunk nor am I encouraging a no rules environment. There has to be some sort of structure, of course. However, companies/parents/schools do have a choice on what their focus is going to be in terms of restricting the employees and where they choose to give them the freedom they want. This choice is important one because it sends a message. So those making that choice need to think about what kind of message it is sending & what the consequences might be.
