Jen Darr Dangerous Obsolescence

Remember dial-up? The squealing, pinging sounds that indicated a connection was imminent? Imagine having to do your job using such obsolete technology today, when wireless is standard and photocopies can be made with a handheld computer.

Jen Darr Tech Babble Round-Up: Ill-Tempered Edition

The tech world’s knickers have been in a bunch these past few weeks. While Mozilla (makers of the Firefox browser) and Google (makers of everything else) are sniping at each other over Google’s new Chrome plug-in, the anti-Microsoft camp is warning of the dangers of the Ribbon. There is an upside: Out of all that griping we have two new tech terms (new to us, at least). Read and enjoy. Ribbonize: (verb, derogatory) To remove universally familiar software menus and put in newfang… Continue

That is, as ugly as a keyboard layout melee can get. A little background: The first typewriter’s key… Continue

Jen Darr Why Cutting the IT Budget Fails

Recently, I was reading our customer comments and one in particular caused me to pause: The customer stated that he didn’t know Outlook personal folders could fill up. I thought to myself, “Where do you think all that mail goes? The great .pst in the sky?” That was the bad-mannered former software consultant in me, and I quickly reminded myself everyone has their own areas of expertise — some technical, some not. Case in point: I know someone who is a carpenter and general contractor. He had… Continue

Jen Darr The Importance of Follow-Up

Recently, while reviewing the quality assurance surveys we conduct with our customers, I noticed a common thread in the comments: the importance of following up. Here’s a sample: “You were awesome and this follow-up e-mail speaks volumes of how wonderful your service was.” And another: “I was absolutely thrilled when I got an e-mail from [the consultant] the next day with tutorials.

Windows 7, they say, is more polished and faster. XP, however, is getting its share of good ink; some publications have made the case for why businesses will stick with it.

Theo Gilbert-Jamison 4 Reasons Managers Don't Empower

While true employee empowerment comes with many valuable benefits, few leaders use it as a means of raising the bar and driving excellence within… Continue
