UDEISA PALM2PALM BLOG

Today has been my busiest day on our workshop. I made several inputs. I achieved this by devoting neraly 4 hours to it, instead of the usual 2 hours. Also, I developed a strategy of switching between "catching up" on previous conversations and dealing with most recent posts. I killed two birds straight!

I like your Two Birds/One Stone approach. But more importantly, your contributions this week have been very valuable. Thank you for your leadership.; 10:53 PM
Cyril said...: What is this two bird/one stone technique that you have developed? Maybe we can work on some sort of IPR for it. And can you check and tell me if my blog remains inaccessible to you....very distrubing for a computer techie like yourself.; 8:24 AM

I was able to log in to your blog today. I counted 8 postings, the latest being 14 March 2006.

But, more importantly, you are developing your thoughts very well there; not to mention the "jazzing" up with pictures. I also got glimpses of some of the things Bruce would like to see as "What Next"

You go boy!

Francis; 9:47 AM

Thanks for the compliment. I am also learning ( as facilitator in training) to compliment good work. I have practised it with Cyril. Unfortunately, I do not have a.k.a. for him; 9:51 AM
