Are the people who use procrustean web
|
|
forms practices the same ones who don't
|
|
accept faxes?
|
|
|
|
When I *really* need to get something
|
|
done, instead of just idle surfing, I
|
|
call or fax. Faxing, like a web form,
|
|
can be done 24x7; it allows me to give
|
|
all the (and only the) pertinent info
|
|
in a single place; it also provides a
|
|
self-journalled correspondence, which
|
|
means rollback is easy and replay is
|
|
even easier.

I've been running a tiled (but somewhat
|
|
overlapped, yielding a horizontal stack)
|
|
window manager lately. Like filling in
|
|
a web form, finding edges and shuffling
|
|
windows may seem productive, but I find
|
|
that having a window manager manage the
|
|
windows means I can concentrate on what
|
|
I want to do with their contents.

Back in my day, when one changed computer
|
|
installations, email would be forwarded
|
|
as a courtesy.

Now, we seem to have swung so far in the
|
|
opposite direction that it makes sense to
|
|
ditch addresses every couple of years to
|
|
shed spam.
