Knowledge is…



Posted by: viip
Inherent Quality, ITKE, CNA, CNA-Q

It has been said (e.g., see today’s message from Neale Donald Walsch) that one should not avoid hearing, or even studying, others points of view; and that you will benefit more from looking into such deeply with an open mind and not cynically.

I have learned that in order to fully see another world, you must experience it, and to appreciate your own world, you must understand that of others. — Jody Beth Lee  

Within Inherent Quality Simplicity you are encouraged among other to “Raise the bar, and inherently aim to surpass it!”… Do this wherever you are (e.g.), interactively (e.g.), creatively (e.g.), through reports (e.g.) and continually throughout the globe to build education (for example through websites, e.g., and so on, including cities, e.g.).

This post takes no credit for the progress made or being made around the globe; it does however encourage and applaud it particularly where such increasingly enables combining unity and diversity to continually help create a better world for all.

Create greater dimensions of oneness (e.g.) as knowledge is intrinsically gained and pervasively powerful when information is innovatively shared and collectively matured. Thank you for all you do.

Have you tried OpenOffice?

Software Quality, Inherent Quality, ITKE, OpenOffice

Unaffiliated with OpenOffice and yet to try it, however was wondering… perhaps someone out there has (e.g., perhaps following a recent Java update you decided to install it). It would be interesting to read whether you experienced a smooth install and whether you are enjoying the innate characteristics of the software. Thanks for writing a related comment or post (e.g., perhaps by starting your own ITKE blog).

Progressively moving towards improved quality of life for all within the global community



Posted by: viip
Inherent Quality, IFIP, ITKE, Edge, CIPS, ITAC

Can the Internet help to enable a better world? Can it help to improve collective consciousness, positively alter egos and awaken souls to increasingly help towards achieving higher purposes? Can continued study of the essential complexity of simple systems extend the enlightenment capability of any object? Can exploring more closely to the edge increase the number of everyday heroes who share positive ideas? The questions you’ve just read were derived from a few quotes from the edge that were noted in VIIP near the start of 2008. Counting the current month, there are only four months remaining in the year and then it will be time for the official launch of a major milestone for the global IT profession. You can read more on this on various web pages, including this July 2, 2008 Exchange Morning Post. There is also mention August 2008 within ITACOnline. A quote from the latter that you may also find interesting is indented in italics.

The ITAC IT Heroes Program was created to give recognition to men, women and organizations that have employed technology to improve the quality of life of their communities.

As more increasingly explore within and pervasively, perhaps more will discover their higher purpose. Perhaps as more do this it will increasingly become easier to identify and share what may want one to increasingly want to be good. Perhaps understanding the latter will enable greater collective compassion.

From compassion can come passion… do what only you can to help find, share and elevate opportunities towards improving the quality of life for all within the global community. Thank you for doing so.

Advanced Test Automation Frameworks

Greg Annen’s background includes the creation of advanced test automation frameworks so it should be interesting reading posts in his new ITKE blog, QA Focus. Be sure to visit. Perhaps doing so will help you ensure the inherent quality of your test automation frameworks.

Proactively preparing for Enterprise 2.0 and evolution of computing to follow



Posted by: viip
Inherent Quality, CIO, ITKE

As computing draws ever closer to the masses, and as the Internet’s population draws ever closer to the world’s population, interesting challenges that search engine providers and others continually work on will be related to data and information (e.g., volume, storage, de-duplication, inherent value, increasingly improved content rankings and so on). As food for thought for IT Pros, and virtually any member of the general Business population, now may be a good time to increasingly become less reactive. Now may be a good time to increasingly work towards proactively preparing for (and contributing to) the evolution of computing. TechTarget sites, e-newletters and events may be a good means of help for you to do so. In any event you may find the following words interesting; they are from this SearchCIO-Midmarket.com article about the recent Enterprise 2.0 Conference 

The general consensus on the panel was that the biggest impediment to using blogs, wikis, Real Simple Syndication and other collaborative business software is the users themselves.

Free, high-quality, to every person, in their language

Inherent Quality, Wikipedia, ITKE, Internet Evolution
Digital evangelist, Jimmy Wales expressed a very nice goal (The goal of Wikipedia is to give a free, high-quality encyclopedia to every single person on the planet in their own language) and it was refreshing to read that he hopes and thinks the online community will eventually serve a greater purpose and that he thinks “we’re going to get more community activism that’s empowered by innovative tools that are coming up online”. Thanks for sharing Nicole and Jimmy.

Thanks also to SJC for commenting on recent VIIP post: The career, Software Developer; and for writing a related post on his blog.

Bloggers, one of the strongest links



Posted by: viip
Inherent Quality, ITKE, Internet Evolution

With respect to the evolution of the Internet, bloggers are drivers and a resultant characteristic. Increasingly each blogger has the potential to be an inherent quality. Collectively bloggers have the potential to be a positive force for good. Ideally bloggers continue to rise and progressively contribute to helping make things better from various perspectives. Do bloggers tend toward neuroticism? Will blogging become a career for many? Will it be one that intrinsically pays well and pervasively makes a world of positive difference? For a related post and comments see, Bloggers: A Dying Breed?

To blogger Suzmonster, Thank You! Your recent comment about XBRL was appreciated.

Hello from Nova Scotia



Posted by: viip
Software Quality, Inherent Quality, ITKE, Internet Evolution

Behind my monitor there’s a bay of windows through which there’s a forest and blue sky. Hello, today’s post is brought to you from a country setting in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. It is also brought to you on the last day of winter and the eve of the first day of spring. On St. Patrick’s Day, I sold, gave to neighbors and gave to charity, various items I had collected over the years. The same day I packed my green Jeep and drove from Ontario to Nova Scotia. In addition to a dozen or so VIIP posts per month, starting this spring I will also be sharing via the Internet Evolution as a member of their IQ Crew. Ideally you enjoy something within upcoming posts and comments. Have a great spring and rest of ‘08.

Interesting; read more.

PS: Comment attached to VIIP post, Science fair genius, is an example of many that have been received and deleted (thought each time was the commenter was not registered with ITKE and perhaps they should be).
