Links
Imagine a partial list of links intended to be a mixture of informative, insightful and entertaining. Imagine easily producing hundreds of such links in a day. Imagine them appealing to pros and the general public. Read on; also for links embedded within periodic writings visiting Sharing.
Inherently quality has many dimensions or perspectives. Inspiration for innately improving quality can virtually come from anywhere, including from the wording and links found throughout InherentQuality.Com pages and deliverables (e.g.). In today’s world there exists millions of IT professionals, millions more who are part of the Blogosphere, millions more who are power consumers of software, technology and information. In today’s world billions of dollars are lost annually to software errors and cybercrime while millions of people visit entertaining sites on a monthly basis, and while there is a large increasing amount of vendors, products, associations and methods. 2005-2006 marked a substantial increase in global online sales representing billions. The quality improvements inherent to software and technology helped enable this; so too did the quality improvements inherent to information. Yet more must be done. The consortiums and summits seen in today’s world must more so build upon the concept of unification and the movement which embeds means to elevate and simplify quality, value and excellence. There are many revolutions going on now. Each has inherent potential to contribute to quality of life improvements for all, for every in the present and the future. Pros and the general public must increasingly come together to ensure this.
Making quality progressively more inherent or occur more inherently does not happen overnight. The essence of the notion is a progressive change of culture and mindset. The change begins first within oneself. It is a journey to which there is progress and sharing of positive energy. In time others adopt the mindset while helping to transform software, technology and information upward and inward. Staying aware along the journey is clearly important and you may find that the TechTarget daily enewsletters and network of offerings are a tremendous help in this regard. You may find various books are too (e.g. 1, 2). In any case you will be left with the reality that in today’s world IT is becoming more fun however is still unique, complex, risky and dangerous. Potential disasters are just about whatever you imagine could be next. Nuclear meltdown, radiation overdoes, missiles not stopped, total communication outage, market crash, property stolen, millions of dollars lost, productivity out the door, governments falling, earth destroyed, lives ending. You can look at some examples at spectrum.ieee.org but dig digging deeper because on any given day you can most likely find a horror story somewhere on the planet (e.g. read this ieee 2005 article or consider the period of May 2006-2007 as related to one organization alone, TJX - intrusion actually tracks back to June 2004, early reports estimate company cost at $1.6 Billion plus remediation for customers at $1.1 Billion; furthermore consider that in today’s world your firewall and anti-virus updates are now minor compared to having corporate data stolen including with respect to the emerging field of internet extortion where thieves refuse to release the data they’ve stolen until dollars change hands). NIST reported 28 June 2002 that software errors cost the
In the 21st Century it very well could be true that we are witnessing re-birth inherently being given to an evolving quality movement and new interconnected upward and inward universe; which has among other, OS diversity and maturity. In the 21st Century it very well also could be true that the world needs everyone working together to progressively make the future even brighter.
Imagine examining the bizarre way tiny bits of matter interact with one another inside the atom. Imagine unifying gravity with electricity and magnetism. Imagine jittery quantum mechanics and calming general relativity merged via energy strings. Imagine spatial and temporal, atoms and subatomic particles, gravity and electromagnetism. Imagine that Einstein's goal (of combining the physical laws of the universe in one theory that explains it all) is the Holy Grail of modern physics. Over the past 50+ years IT has made tremendous progress and a huge celebration is overdue; as possibly is a global summit which asks whether delayed critical mass acceptance of the absurdity of certain truths is preventing IT’s image from rationally reaching quality in the highest inherent form. Links and linkages may help IT reach the next level. Links can take us to discover thought provoking interesting broadcasts (e.g. When is a killer asteroid going to hit the Earth? What is really at the center of the Earth? If other beings existed in the universe, what would they look like? Strip down pressing questions of our time and explore them under a tightly focused lens. Animation, CGI and special effects lead us through the search for answers as the investigations unfold. Deadliest Planets - We may someday develop technology advanced enough to settle humans on other planets. What kinds of worlds can we expect to find, how do they compare with our own and is it possible to adapt to their alien environments? Glacier Meltdown - Melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and more and stronger hurricanes indicate the Earth is getting hotter. But is this climate change really cause for alarm? NGC explores the real science behind global warming. Was
Each of us can benefit from linkages and links, including those which help us find and internalize power messages (e.g. our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us; we are all meant to shine, as children do; we were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us; it is not just in some of us; it is in everyone; as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same; as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others). The words in the example are from this link, Return to Love. May they somehow help toward a future that more so includes all helping each other get through and prevent tragedies of one type or another that too often are heard around the world (e.g.). One can only hope there will be a greater return to love throughout the rest of this year and in the years to come. All are beautiful. All can be a light to others. All can shine bright and help others to do the same. All deserve to live safely in peace and joy. The scientific community, all faiths, comics and all that is in between need to peacefully co-exist. Software and IT professionals, executives, consumers, educators, students et al can more so unite and give positive energy to each other to try to help make the world inherently a better place from various perspectives for all, for every. Many organizations are making individual and business partnership type efforts to improve quality in one respect or another, for example see ‘IBM targets threats against Web 2.0 systems’ (McDougall, InformationWeek, 05/22/2007). Awareness is spreading of great progress of consortiums, for example see: HP sees Green in energy efficiency (03.29.07, SearchCIO.com, Tucci); energy consortium takes aim at bottomline (05.01.2006, SearchCIO.com, McGillicuddy). The future needs consortiums to continue this progress and movement towards inherent unification. Links are a simple thing really; although they are playing an important role. They help us easily share (e.g. millions visit this site each month - Revolutionary Road; we need more organizations like this one who are accepting responsibility to minimize environmental impact by doing their part to protect and save our planet for future generations… and who are leading a variety of activities to bolster consumer awareness of how to play and stay safe in cyberspace). Links may help link the world together. The consortiums that develop have the potential to make tremendous contributions to ensure even brighter futures for all, for every. Wonderful progress has and is being made. But is competition the answer? It is time for more unification to improve software, technology and information… in fact to merge associations, frameworks and methods to increase simplicity and elevate the aims of each. As more awaken to the power of unification the world will innately and progressively grow better and stronger. Now is the time to act. Explore. Share. Collaborate and encapsulate. Unify and decouple. Achieve higher purposes. Embrace change. Embed simplicity. Elevate value to be inherent, intrinsic and pervasive. Have fun. Generate joy. Be not evil. Be of and for goodness. Continually evolve quality inward! Contribute to the growing circle, and surf its enlarging wave.
Look within the sea, sky and interconnected universe of enrichment. Search for virtual and real opportunities for improvement. For example virtual schools are progressively an in-session reality for degrees (samples: bachelors computer information systems, masters of computer science, doctorate management / information systems and technology), certifications (samples: 1, 2, 3 and 4) and simply keeping up to date. For the latter you may want to consider what TechTarget has to offer (e.g.)… btw on May 16, 2007 TechTarget, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTGT) announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 7,700,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $13.00 per share. Find ways to have excellence embedded (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and so on including “As one in spirit along the creative journey, collaborative innovation progressively embedded can achieve elevated worldviews”). Explore links (e.g. “Comparing and contrasting the way different disciplines and tools map to one another can help lead to a better understanding of each of the things being compared. This paper reviews a methodology called IDEAL, which was developed and evolved by members of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), and compares it with the Six Sigma DMAIC roadmap and thought process. After a brief review of IDEAL and DMAIC individually, this article examines ways they are similar and ways that they might challenge and inform one another”). Discover something from the past which somehow helps to understand the present (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Perhaps you will invent ways to help with increasing intelligence, the future of Humanity, or enhancing information quality. In 250 million years plate tectonics may make the world one continent. Well before then earthlings may move to live on another planet or space station. Despite the wonderful progress that exists in the past and present, by and beyond the perfect vision leap year 2020 the inherent quality of software, technology and information must make tremendous improvements for all, for every. To enable tremendous gain, find opportunities to establish linkages that generate greater levels of joy for others. Find something to be optimistic about, for example Randall mentions a proton-proton collider being built in
All that we see or seem is in a dream within a dream - Edgar Allan Poe
In 2007 many (70 million+) are gaining voice over the internet and blogging about what interests them. Perhaps they will blog of a journey taken or of one that is still on-going. Perhaps their blog will grow into a book or other products. This young audiophile who may have coined the term frequency saturation, is an example of a direction that blogging may take for many. Maybe the delightful picture that starts Part 7 of his blog will be on the cover of a book of his one day. Maybe the Poe quote used within his blog will make it into his book. Maybe the following also used within his blog will too… “We are all visitors on this planet” … “we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. Try to be at peace with yourself and help others to share that peace. If you contribute to others’ happiness, you will find the true goal, the meaning of life” – The Dali Lama. How will you contribute to the happiness of others? Perhaps your first step will somehow join you with the many inventors and internet contributors of recent years (e.g. link 1, link 2 and a long list of so on and so on including many sites that deal creatively with time from one perspective or another such as 1 or 2 etc. ... and including the many that deal with or provide education and various types of fun from many perspectives, even this one). Perhaps through various further steps you will progressively and creatively try to bring further “confidence in a connected world”; particularly given that even in 2007 a typical home or office system can face a significant amount of threats (e.g. 70,000-100,000+) throughout the 365 days of any given year. Also given that threats continue to become increasingly more sophisticated and damaging. Perhaps you will create a portal or site that bands together professionals to address security or other quality topics. Maybe your work will generate or become associated with a portal for pilots or other professionals in your country or around the globe. Perhaps the portal or site you create will somehow help to increase global awareness about facts associated with a date in the future (e.g. 2028). Perhaps your first step and on-going steps will involve surfing in hopes you will discover something interesting to share with others.
You may find worth or interest in SearchNetworking.Com Newsletter dated April 23 2007. Among other there’s a nice piece by Editor Tessa Parmenter on the new cosmos of networking. There is also a link if you are curious how enormous sites like Google and Hotmail serve millions of DNS queries per day. There is also a link about an outage that cut off millions which refers to a massive Blackberry outage and the fact that maker RIM said it was caused by a non-critical system routine. You may find worth or interest to know that in 2007: portals flash and easily morph with SKINS; the WOW plays on; Geoscientists came together on disciplines of Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences while e-security rose globally against cyber-crime; Industry talked to save Planet during puzzle pieces of mipworld where new innovation captured included a virtual world and convergence rising with lifestyle media (e.g. 1, 2); Free Software, Free Society continued regular commit to matrix while serious enquiries only obtained FXX viewing by appointment to join Team of 20 or so being built; way cool, blogging from space began descent as former Microsoft engineer returned to earth. You may like to review CMS proves its ROI mettle – Cindy Atoji, Contributor 04.04.2007 SearchCIO.com (on the same site you may also like to review the ins and outs of content management systems via an Executive Guide… “Content management systems (CMS) can help make sense of your organizations various documents, Web pages, blogs, and other resources. Take a look at these articles, tips, podcasts and white papers to learn how and what you can do to maximize the ROI of your CMS.” You may also be interested to know that (i) May 2005 SearchCIO.Com posted an article “weighing content management options” which among other said “The portal is your interface, where you go to get all your information, that links into the source of your information, which would be some type of content management system”; (ii) recently SearchCIO.com posted “At Law Firms, Content Management is King” which among states there is progressively a much larger emphasis on the full integration of content management. You may decide from your digging deeper that one means of making quality more inherent or occur more inherently would be to further enable gaps to be narrowed between custom site development and that which is achievable by anyone using build-it easily yourself type products. Furthermore from your digging deeper you may decide that you like: how the line moves upwards on this page; how the sky moves on this one; how the binary image on this page, moves in this video; how the product noted here, here, here and here can be associated to the company name and the word infinity; how this video introduces the product; the associated players (including this big one, this big one and this big one as examples); imagining this improving. Furthermore from your digging deeper you may remember a 4/14/2007 10:13 PM blog in which Ron Richard wrote, “I like imagining this ‘CRM, Philosophy, Baseball & Universal Metaphors’ typepad.com based blogger getting a certain VP to call or to write to his comcast.net email address.”… Re-visiting the blogger’s site you may decide you are pleased with the outcome. As you surf through various links you may decide you like this simple refreshing site design although perhaps not what you might expect from a number one company who has millions of customers and is a nation leading provider of cable, entertainment and communications products and services. From continued surfing you may decide you like: a) the term ‘inherent strength’ used by these portal developing version-next geniuses of generation X; b) that this ISO registered company also uses the term ‘inherent strength’ and says in the top right corner of every page of their site, ‘IT is about you’; c) that there is a free open source framework ideal for creating enterprise web applications; d) the ‘i’ and puzzle pieces on the top and the valuable embedding of automation the follows, on this page; e) these prices; f) seeing lots of blogs and this educational video; g) the use of embedded on this educational page for the empowered customer; h) that digital voice, global satellite long-distance and inherent quality simplicity are not science fiction; i) to discover and share awareness of the positive progress of others that is associated with the on-going quality journey and evolution; j) the possibilities for futures that are bright for all, for every; k) thinking all will help each other and that each generation leaves the next further and better along; l) thoughts that all acknowledge content management among the contributing inherent qualities of software, technology and information; m) to think all shall live long and happy giving energy to one another; n) to think “walk with me” is the sound of you and the divine out for a stroll or ride; o) when from passion comes compassion and when all come together and get along; p) thinking someone out there gets some inherent value and joy from your writing and sharing links.
Complexity is changing. Simplicity is being enabled. New levels of excellence are being achieved. This will more so be the case in the years to follow. Benefits will progressively be more so for all thanks to the collaborative contributions of many. Now is a time for celebration. It is also a time to continue coming together and moving inward and upward. We are becoming more so one. And this is good. Much thanks to all for all you do to contribute to quality and the happiness of others. In 2007 there are many other examples of progress within our industry. Microsoft is associated with several (in fact they have brought much change to the world since Windows 95, in fact over the past 5 years and particularly in 2007 including with the ASP.NET Futures release May 2007 and upcoming Windows Server 2008). However many others have contributed to progress as well. In a larger context (vista, view, panorama, outlook, scene, landscape or seascape) than the 2007 Microsoft examples of progress (e.g. 1, 2, 3), the words inside out are representative of a centuries old notion (that is mentioned here, look for inherent quality). The notion seeks to evolve quality innately from many perspectives or dimensions. The notion can be tied to ISO (degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements) however is not owned by any one organization or individual, and is far beyond a single product or single vendor. The beauty of the notion is that getting started is easy. Among other you do not have to be a giant to contribute. Inherent quality is a global entity that belongs to all as a philosophy or central theme from many perspectives. When you awaken to the notion you begin to see that the circles and waves of opportunity for continued progress are larger than ever; and that now is the time for IT and all touched by the profession to spread the good news, rise and turn progress in and up even further. In today’s world the industry is still largely driven by release dates, but it is more so turning to being driven by progress (e.g.) and higher purposes. This is good (for all, for every) as it more so helps ensure delivering right the first time and longer-term sustainable positive effects. As a result it is important to search and flag portals that in one respect or another exhibit aspects of what inherent quality means or is about. Whether you are a billionaire’s billionaire, new to the field or a consumer… portal, link and linkage type explorations can help you and others. If you would like others to know about a positive site feel free to share by sending an email to info@inherentquality.com.
Inside every process, product, service or organization there are elements waiting to open-up that can take quality from many perspectives to new inward paradigms and upward levels. Individuals and teams are example elements. Particularly once you realize that insights can come from gurus, pros and the rest of us. Particularly if you believe that there is a wealth of practical knowledge and creativity within all minds including the everyday consumer and frontline resource. Believe this, it is true. Also believe that a common language and mindset that engages every area of business and society will maximize financial and other positive returns. In the 21st Century, links, linkages and websites play an important role and range in function and purpose. One such purpose is sharing information to make life easier for others. As an example here is a link to one site that in only three years has become valuable to developers and support professionals. It began with a blog titled Here goes nothing. When you visit it you will among other read, “Well, here I am with my first blog entry”; “I developed an understanding and empathy for the pain that Microsoft customers face as they try to implement setup and deployment solutions for our products in their corporate, education, individual, and redistributable environments”; “If I'm able to use this forum to influence even one person to create a simpler setup that strives to get bits on the machine in as painless a means as possible and to consider it to be a success if the user doesn't notice anything about the setup itself, then I'll consider my blog efforts successful”; “specifically on embedded enabling features”; “I don't know what direction these blog entries are going to take, and I have my doubts that anyone would even care about reading what I have to say. I do know I'll be back to give”; “In the meantime, here are some links”.
