Inherent Quality, largely derived by a common foundation, largely enhanced by collaboration
May 01, 2006 Computer Science Looks for a Remake
May 03, 2006 Grady Booch blogs on Computer Science Education... click the hyperlink and read the full article. Among other you'll read... "So, in all fairness, the academics polled by Gary are focused on computer science, while I care more about software engineering and the development, deployment, and operation of real systems. These are two subtly different worlds, but at their point of overlap, they serve to address a common landscape." ... "thank you" ... "it got me thinking" ..."To each of the folks interviewed therein, know that I greatly respect your various programs and acknowledge the good things that have come out of them - but I think that much more can be done."
May 04, 2006 Simmonds interviews Grady Booch ... click the hyperlink and read the full article. Among other you'll read... "Your job Title is IBM Fellow, but what does that mean to the man on the street" ... "It means two things. My role as a Fellow is to invent the future and to destroy bureaucracy, I’m a designated free radical for IBM, and it’s my job to disturb the norm, to think outside of the box, to make people uncomfortable with the status quo" ... "I have a license to do so. It is to IBM’s organizational credit that it recognizes it needs such people."
May 18, 2006 Inherent Quality manuscript shared with Christopher Johnson, Co-founder and CEO of ‘innovation for people’. Mr. Johnson’s company is said to be a recognized leader (in socially responsible business) that delivers world-class solutions that enable managed processes, foster effective teamwork, and improve efficiency and productivity. Mr. Johnson is also the Chair of CPSR’s ‘Computers and the Environment Working Group’. Our communication to Mr. Johnson also ensured his awareness concerning a true planetary situation. Further in our communication to Mr. Johnson we expressed that ideally his working group was somehow already engaged with how computer professionals may be able to assist with matters noted by the following which is coming soon (May 24, 2006) to select theatres... An Inconvenient Truth (be sure to click on the hyperlink... and while at the site, be sure to use an included link to http://www.climatecrisis.net/ where you will immediately be drawn into the words and sounds associated with meaningful information). In fact we encourage all of our readers to click on the associated links to learn more about the documentary film, the science, how to take action and how to see the truth. In fact we encourage readers to watch the trailer such as via the related Google option. In fact we think you should be greatly interested upon viewing the trailer, and may wish to pledge to attend. By the way, your attendance will generate a donation by Paramount to the Alliance for Climate Protection.
May 22, 2006 The InherentQuality.Com site is launched as a work-in-progress dedicated to showcasing and advancing the talents of software and information technology professionals. A related 10 minute Executive Overview slide-show, and 437 page manuscript is provided for free download in order to help professionals get started on related thinking and action plans to help progressively make quality more inherent in every respect for the benefit of all. The available documents provide input, that can be reviewed in 1-2 days, for thinking based initiatives that can derive benefits that last lifetimes. It is our hope that in some way we help you to be catalysts for positive change. In fact we hope your reading and thinking inherently spawns insight by getting the clogs of hi-tech turning in all directions and at all levels so as to further spark collaboration, continued innovation and further levels of harmonization from many perspectives. In fact we think among other that readers of our manuscript may find that inherent quality (i + p) in some way or to some degree could be related by particular scholars to integral psychology whereby perhaps as example the latter (drawing from Ken Wilber and others):
As a result of such things as noted in the above news, we will be keeping an open mind as we continue our careers and research... we hope you will do the same and that you will collaborate with us to increasingly make quality within our profession more inherent in the process of celebrating it! (aka 'IT'). Inherent Quality thanks all for their tremendous contributions to industry and looks forward to the on-going collaborations of great minds as polished products enter the market in 2006-2007, and then as great minds stretch imagination (pulling it horizontally, and tilting it forward to point towards a wide-spread future horizon) for delivery of profoundly enriched future generations at 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045 and so on type milestones.
May 31, 2006 Grady Booch blogs on from ICU.
June 2006
Value-add is an excellence goal, collaboration a means, ensuring inherent quality the ultimate key
June 01, 2006 InherentQuality.Com receives positive update: "Ron, Brian has passed along your messages to me, as it is my department that will work with you on a COBIT article for your blog. We are extremely pleased to help and we appreciate your strong support of ISACA and ITGI" - Jane Seago, Chief Communications Officer - "ISACA: Serving IT Governance Professionals (www.isaca.org); ITGI: Leading the IT Governance Community (www.itgi.org)." In fact, since the site launch on May 22, 2006 there have been various May 2006 updates noted in the weblog and on the Site Announcements page... "News is happening faster than can be reported on the News page… we may make a few incremental updates to the News page during June, however at minimum certainly will provide a News page update later in the month as a recap of the month. Stay tuned." - Ron Richard. At this juncture we are only just getting started including with awareness updates we will be making to search engines about our site; and including with respect to perhaps sharing awareness of our site (and of an up-coming COBIT article to be co-authored with a COBIT Steering Committee and/or Research Team member) with CIPS and Culminis. In the meantime, we hope you will bookmark our site and visit often. Further we hope to provide value, and to receive such from your professional contributions to industry, which ideally include specific contributions to help our site achieve a dream of becoming a popular site that adds value. Interesting Facts: the software and IT global community is in the millions (e.g. the members of three organizations alone when combined show this ISACA/ITGI, CIPS and Culminis); May 19, 2006 InherentQuality.Com Domain Registration; May 22, 2006 InherentQuality.Com Site Launch (Victoria Day!); June 02, 2006 Jane Seago confirms to Ron Richard that all systems are a go for the June 12, 2006 publication date of a weblog article to begin the COBIT series of InherentQuality.Com weblog articles... adding "link from the COBIT page of the ISACA site to our co-authored article on your site" - Jane Seago)
June 03, 2006 InherentQuality.Com extends sincere a 'Thank You' to individuals (as well as to the organizations and/or societies to which they are associated). “Given it may be towards the end of the month before we get back to sharing News on this web page, we thought it best to say an early and up-front sincere Thank You to all individuals for expressed positive words and/or for considering ways in which they may be able to help ensure that collective imagination contributes to showcasing and enhancing the inherent qualities of the software and information technology industry and profession. Our thanks then we extend to all, whether for example associated with a positive link to InherentQuality.Com or perhaps a positive mention of InherentQuality.Com in your communications. Certainly our June 01, 2006 News posting is an example of what this refers to, and we look forward to more of the same (as example: an upcoming link on Zorba.ca and upcoming positive mention within other blogs, e.g. E-Business Blog: www.zorba.ca/blog.html; XBRL Blog: www.zorba.ca/xbrlblog.html). As we wish to thank individuals, and as we believe strongly in the power of individuals, we encourage all to read our title “Inherent Quality” web page to be published on or before our target of June 05, 2006. Thank you once again, sincerely.” – Ron Richard.
June 05, 2006 Inherent Quality mentioned within ebusiness communications (we are humbled and sincerely grateful, Thank You)
June 05, 2006 Culminis surpasses 1,000,000 members
June 28, 2006 InherentQuality.Com begins to show on first page search results of prominent internet search engines when using search terms such as 'inherent quality' and 'inherent quality solutions architect'.
It has been a busy first month and we are happy with progress being made including numerous updates to the site. We encourage you to visit each page including selecting these menu options: Deliverables (all of which have been provided ahead of schedule), Weblog, Links and Events. Furthermore we have a number of very promising things in the works, and will report News on this page in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime (i) see below for a half-day session we are prepared to provide upon request, (ii) we wish all Canadians a very happy upcoming Canada Day… and (iii) we wish all readers of this site (regardless of country), a very happy summer, rest of 2006, and many great years to follow.
Half-day Session: Inherent Quality appeals to organizations of any size and maturity level, has a prime audience of software and IT professionals, teachers and students… and a secondary audience of all who interface with the prime audience. The concept appeals to all levels including C level executives. The half-day session will introduce the concept and walk through valuable information which is far reaching, correlates to the work of others, is specific to software and information technology and builds on such things as “ISO 9000 defines quality as ‘degree to which a set of inherent characteristic fulfils requirements’” while extending such things as the definition of Quality. Among other the session will bring clarity to related statements. Inherent Quality is related to ZAMM, frameworks, lifecycle technologies, standards and more, and the half-day session will show benefits and an implementation approach while providing an opportunity to explore, ponder and synthesize related matters that provide insight or inspire personal, organizational and industry gains for starters as well as experts. Further the half-session will emphasize important elements, offer predictions and call for feedback on powerful statements. Presenter Ron Richard (Founder, CQO/Chief Inherent Quality Solutions Architect): 20+ years of software/IT with Quality emphasis. Resume available on Deliverables webpage with kind words from others. Note: has held industry roles (e.g. chaired inaugural software quality working group, proctored exams for US professional designations, chaired certification for a section of a national information processing society); has also achieved firsts in Canada relative to professional designations based in Canada and UK; has also had a fair number of accomplishments in various sports both as coach and athlete (e.g. was member of a National Championship team, was awarded numerous individual medals, helped others to achieve equivalent or better).
Inherent Quality is the key, and you're (quality) : the critical component of the inherent success formula
July 02, 2006 InherentQuality.Com Upgrade. Changes introduced are more than cosmetic. For further detail see Deliverables webpage and July 1, 2006 Weblog posting "InherentQuality.Com Upgrade (July 1-4, 2006)" in category Inherent Quality. Our Thanks to all supporters and new website friend (we call Barney).
July 27, 2006 Software Lifecycle Quality: Adopting a Proactive Approach. Featured speakers are a VP from Market Experts Group - Ziff Davis Media, an Analyst - Forrester Research, and a Director of Product Marketing - Borland. "Improving software quality throughout its lifecycle requires a specifically tailored mix of software development process, people and tools and the willingness of the enterprise to change. In this eSeminar, speakers from Borland and Forrester Research discuss common Software Lifecycle Quality issues faced by organizations seeking higher standards of software quality and service while systematically reducing costly production failures, rework, and maintenance." This event is further evidence of the trends noted within the Inherent Quality manuscript. In July 2006 in fact we have received many enewsletters that provide evidence of the noted trends. Now more than ever companies are building within their products means to improve quality and/or to show compliance to prominent icons for quality (e.g. frameworks like ITIL and so on). The 52 line items provided on our Links page as we mentioned can significantly be expanded. As an example we will add for the letter 'B' Borland; and for the letter 'Z' Ziff Davis.

Increasing inherent quality and evolving the binary and other aspects of quality in the third millennium progressively from cost into increasing positive returns and savings
August 11, 2006 See weblog article added today "Good day sunshine"... pertains to global health and education. At this time we also pass along items provided to us in an email from Ziff Davis eSeminars. "Dear Ron: Thank you for attending, Software Lifecycle Quality: Adopting a Proactive Approach, presented live on August 2, 2006, we appreciate your interest in this topic. We invite you to view the recorded version at your convenience and to pass this email on to colleagues who may be interested. Additional resources have also been made available for your convenience. View the Recorded Presentation, View Related Documents, Sponsored by Borland. We look forward to your participation in future eSeminars. Regards, Ziff Davis eSeminars"
Leverage technology as an enabler and help to shape its future landscape
September 28, 2006 You have the power and are the key, believe this and keep an open mind, you can leverage technology as an enabler while helping to shape its future landscape. This statement will also appear in our weblog. Herein we also provide a few links to ensure your awareness. News on these topics you may find is already plentiful. TechTarget Article, OneCare, Vista. In any event to stay current with news and trends you may have to regularly check various sites and newsletters. For example,
As further example, you may want to have a look at these items from the above. CIO Primer: Virtualization basics; and Microsoft makes move into replication market. The latter directs you to this eweek.com article. The former among other includes these words "Redmond unveiled Virtual Server R2 Standard Edition earlier this month and is working on building the virtualization technology into the next version of its operating system, code-named Longhorn. Though Windows has only had Virtual Server since 2004, competitors and analysts agree that Microsoft is a big player in any space it chooses to be in because of its huge customer base."
You may also want to regularly review current whitepapers. Of course there are many available and topics range substantially for example from IM to ITIL and so on.
October 2006
Inherent Quality continues to gain momentum
October 27, 2006 Awareness of inherent quality continues to grow and gain momentum. As example inherent quality awareness is spreading throughout the United States and Canada. As further example it is spreading into various other parts of the world including Japan, and including Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Germany, Great Britain, India, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and others. More and more individuals are learning that (and contributing to ways that) inherent quality applies to the present, helps to manage complexity, energizes the professional, and contributes to shaping the future. A recent request sent to info@inherentquality.com said, "very interested in receiving copy of your manuscript". This request came from a VP of Quality. Recent feedback has also advanced a presentation on inherent quality to the final selection round for a national IT symposium. Examples of inherent quality are increasingly found within enewsletters. Vendors continue to make quality more inherent. Valuable eseminars continue to be reoffered, even involving Gartner Research to lead the discussion..."Infuse Quality Throughout"... "Lifecycle Quality Management" ... "Infusing and Automating Quality at Every Phase" ... "When you leave quality to the end, or as someone else's responsibility, it can result in applications that fail to meet your original goals, require costly rework or miss critical release dates. To prevent these problems, you need an advanced approach to managing overall quality throughout" ... "Does this sound familiar?" Now more than ever you need to be reading and thinking about what inherent quality means. Now more than ever you need to look for examples of inherent quality. Whether it is within a Ziff Davis eSeminar, or on this site, or elsewhere, the examples exists and the momentum is growing. The inherent quality movement is underway. It is not pushing a particular vendor, nor product. It is helping you ensure you are aware of and contributing to its present meaning and future meaning so that you select or build that which progressively promotes or consists of quality more innately. You are therefore encouraged to, in some way, be part of this movement. You are encouraged therefore to in some way be associated with helping to ensure quality is progressively more inherent from various perspectives. When you do this, you will benefit, and so will others. Become part of the inherent quality movement. Do it with excellence and higher purposes in mind. And do it for yourself too. You have the power to be a catalyst for positive change, whether you are front-line or top of the chart, approving major IT purchases for your organization, or spearheading computing needs for your home. You can appreciate quality, and can contribute to its evolution towards ever increasingly being more, inherent.
One person is all it takes. From there a team of like minded individuals develops. Together you can help towards the development of products, processes, services or resources. Each can contain similar inherent characteristics. Each can contain similar inherent aspirations for an even better tomorrow. Be sure to check this News page for monthend updates leading to and during 2007.
Perfect Vision
November 15, 2006 On this day a SearchCIO.com newsletter indicates that i) interest in IT service management (ITSM) and ITIL continues to grow with the focus shifting to implementation strategies; ii) they are offering a webcast to learn how to improve IT and senior executive collaboration as well as IT and business strategy alignment. "Achieving quality results from ITIL requires careful planning and execution in four dimensions: people, process, technology and governance." The webcast includes coverage of individual, team and organization-level implementation considerations. The related speaker has contributed to IT service and process management frameworks, including ITIL and MOF; he is also the author of "MOF: a Pocket Guide" (Van Haren) and "IT People: Doing More with Less" (Authorhouse January 2006). Also on this day SearchNetworking.com indicates that a) "VOIP is becoming the default technology choice for enterprise voice services, but maintaining acceptable call quality and ensuring service reliability remain persistent challenges for IT departments."; b) they are offering a paper that describes a real-time monitoring and management solution that integrates packet-level network visibility with performance reporting and analysis at the business service level. Also on this day SearchStorage.com offers webcast titled "Solving the VMware Backup, Recovery and Replication Challenge". Also on SearchNetworking.com a) "From g to n: The different versions of 802.11"; b) "IT alphabet soup" - "GARP"; c) CIPTUG 2006, "the only event of the year focusing on Cisco IP Communication products". Also on this day Bitpipe.com provides "SAS 70: Compliance shortcut" which refers to Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 certification. They say that "IT departments at publicly owned companies are well aware of compliance issues surrounding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.", and that SAS 70 is being adopted to make particular process easier, including for the customer. Earlier this month a) BigMoneyJobs.com emails in search of quality professionals for a North American client (QA Manager $90K, Director QA $150K); b) eSeminarslive.com states "IT must handle service issues proactively", and that attendees of one of their sessions can gain insight on "Intelligence beyond event correlation and root cause analysis". Also available from eSeminars is more on virtualization technology. For example, "Block Security Threats" is available for on-demand viewing. It refers to using Intel vPro Technology. The fact is there is virtually no end to exciting news related to our industry. Topics do range, and yet are progressively converging in many respects, for example "Controls for Compliance - The Next Phase: Controls Automation & Monitoring". As another example SearchStorage.com offered an IBM Information Lifecycle Management webcast on November 1st 2006. Unquestionably there is a strong trend in the present as well as a strong need to work in the present with great understanding of the future. With the latter in mind we are now announcing "Inherent Quality 2020... Perfect Vision" ... together let's turn insight (not hindsight) into 20/20. With this announcement we are calling for all readers to work on or towards Perfect Vision. The goal is to (as much as possible) perfect the inherent quality vision by the year 2020. While inherent quality is more a journey than destination, between now and 2020 software and information technology professionals must continue to increasingly band together to further innovation and a collective vision for our industry. Please note: an Inherent Quality book remains a work in progress. Our thoughts were to release the book in 2007. We may wait for a future year to do this. In the meantime, InherentQuality.Com is available now. So too is our Manuscript. Request your copy today! Email info@inherentquality.com (p.s. in our October news we mentioned that awareness of inherent quality has reached various countries... to the sample list of countries that we included we now add Hungary, Ireland, Singapore and Thailand... refer to our October news and email us to have your country added to the list).
Speed
December 18, 2006 Will the speed of trust always exceed the speed of the anonymous? See our December 2006 weblog postings to better understand and ponder this question.
December 20, 2006 We pass along a few additional bits and bytes of news...
The VP of Quality Assurance of a trusted resource requests copy of our manuscript. In a follow-up he indicates he has yet to read the entire manuscript however the sections he has reviewed he has found very interesting.
The Director of Customer Service at Register.com apologizes for a recent service interruption. They had detected excessive traffic that was impacting the performance of their hosting service. They restored full function to customer sites quickly. 'Our primary goal is to manage issues such as these as quickly as possible while ensuring the security of your Web site' ... 'We appreciate your patience and trust'. (Sandy Ross Director Customer Service Register.com)
Progress Software send 'Thanks for viewing the Implementing a Successful Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Pilot Program white paper on the Tech Target Web site.' They also offer with compliments, access to Gartner's "The Organizational Impact of SOA: an Exclusive Gartner Interview Featuring Daryl Plummer." ... "This interview explores the critical organizational and service delivery issues triggered by enterprise adoption of SOA. Gartner certainly needs no introduction, and Daryl Plummer is a Chief Gartner Fellow and Gartner managing VP specializing in emerging trends and software infrastructure. During his interview, Daryl also addressed other key SOA topics: Service granularity, Distributed data challenge, SOA competency center, Role of technology, Process-centricity, SOA project lifecycle and the development team." In a subsequent email Progress Software wrote: "To help you drill down in your particular area of SOA interest, we've also made arrangements for you to access Gartner: SOA Craves Governance, and download reports from other analyst firms: SOA and Web Services Management and Event-Driven Architecture Overview. Plus Webcasts, requirements definition templates, savings worksheets, and more." ... "PS: The Gartner SOA Impact interview also covers what technologies can help facilitate the transition to SOA, and the changes SOA brings to the way software is developed."
For further updates please be sure to see our weblog including posts related to the sites of Grady Booch, Microsoft, NQI and others.
Beyond this here is a message from Ron...
I am just an everyday guy who tries hard to understand and contribute to increases in quality. For example, means for automation and test-driven design and development. I appreciate your input and support. I hope you will request a copy of the manuscript I have written. I also hope you will visit this site often. I also hope you will pass along useful information that can be shared on this site to help others further understand, contribute to or benefit from on-going improvements that help make quality more inherent from various perspectives. If you have ever worked in a large multi-center support environment you would see the strong usage of monitoring and metrics as a means of managing and improving quality. You might also get a better understanding or appreciation of the power of SOA. Regardless you would also see people working very hard (at any hour or day of the year) to provide services and ensure customer satisfaction. They are likely paid less than other professionals in our industry but this does not stop them from giving 100+% everyday. As for the mention of services on the Special Interests page, for now the main service I provide is populating content on this site. This is a self-funded professional hobby of mine that I fit around full-time employment within the software and information technology industry. As a result I see the value that each role provides today and potentially could provide in the future. As a result I also respect the individuals in each role for inherently doing their part to help ensure and continuously improve quality. Thank You in advance for visiting and contributing. Please be ethical in your usage of this site and in your everyday life. Thank you for all you do in the name of our profession, customers, investors, educators and employers. All the best in 2007.
p.s. Byron, Thank You for allowing me to mention your request on the site
I am very interested in obtaining a copy of your manuscript.
Thanks,
Byron Goodman
Quality Assurance, VP

Simplicity
December 28, 2006 We provide this MUST READ news ahead of schedule and wish you all the best in 2007 and beyond.
January 3, 2007 Page 384 of our Manuscript states, "the emerging core for helping to ensure increasing levels of inherent quality may very well generate virtually infinite opportunity". As of January 2007 this site and Manuscript (available upon request) represent a starting point and nucleus that you can venture from and return to. In the process you will gain an understanding of what inherent quality means today and can mean in the future as you progressively become a core part of a wrapper type vehicle (see Manuscript Appendix C - Qual IT) for driving improvement brainstorming, idea maturing, quantifiable consensus building and compliance mapping and so on to innately ensure value-add successes and earliest most effective point inherent risk management. While we work on the Inherent Quality (Simplicity) book, this site and our original Manuscript are available now to get you started on related readings and forward thinking based initiatives which can be implemented in varying timeframes to provide benefits that last lifetimes for both individuals and organizations. Explore this site fully, venture from it and return to it to see and better operate within a thriving movement which is stronger and more inherent than ever before. Contrary to what some may believe the quality movement is stronger than ever. This site and our original manuscript help you to see this. Prepare yourself as what is materializing is far greater, more inherent (intrinsic and pervasive) and global than the waves of quality experienced over the past decade. A new era has dawned as Inherent Quality has emerged and is progressively increasing while adding simplicity and generating many benefits. Yes a new era has dawned. Embrace it, contribute to it. Now more than ever educators and students need a quality foundation to be included within programs to ready software and information technology professionals to understand what inherent quality means (and can mean) to them, and to those they will interface with. Now more than ever software and information technology professionals are genuinely and progressively embedding quality throughout while placing it (IT quality) at the forefront and as the core. Inherent Quality is simplicity and complexity rolled into one and has implementations beyond what is already being achieved. Freely review this site and request a copy of the original manuscript for a further level of awareness. When the Inherent Quality (Simplicity) book is made available we will let you know where and how to obtain it. In the meantime, for reading and inherent quality thinking and accomplishments, Thank you again sincerely.
January 5, 2007 For news you can use, today we added the fourth installment to Quality Decisions.
January 16, 2007 More news you can use. See Quality Decisions Installment Five - Progress
January 22, 2007 'FUN' (a Quality Decisions installment)
January 24, 2007 This site exists to share awareness of (and grow contributors to) a positive movement that is progressively making quality more inherent or occur more inherently (from many perspectives). This site takes no credit for the movement; it simply shares awareness, applauds and encourages it. On its own energy the movement is progressing within the software and information technology industry (an industry for all, for every, that touches all). For your general awareness, in 2007 the words 'inherent' and 'quality' have far reaching usage. For example: in manufacturing ("Bivar products are world-renown for their inherent quality of manufacturing. We apply exacting measures, use quality materials, and adhere to aggressive recycling programs to minimize any impact on the environment."); in toys ("recognize the inherent quality"); in open source ("the inherent high quality"); in buildings ("Inherent Quality"); in definitions ("A classic is an item that has become a ubiquitous and unique symbol or icon of a time gone by, mainly because of its inherent quality" - Mac OS X was a noted example); in billards ("recognized for its inherent quality"); in telescopes ("The inherent quality of our scopes makes them a pleasure to use and assures their lasting value."); in names ("Inherent Quality Incorporated" Computers & Internet, 101 Southhall Ln Maitland FL 32751) etc. ... for more examples see the weblog and other pages of inherentquality.com (note at this time the site is not affiliated with the noted company in Florida though a donation to help with research and book pursuit is welcomed). For further awareness, today we noticed that a link to inherentquality.com was added within The Quality Portal (we appreciate this, and are honored and humbled, Thank You). Please know we do not seek greatness for ourselves. Your efforts to progressively make quality more inherent or occur more inherently can however provide or enable greatness for others. Thank you for all you do to bring joy to others. p.s. please help a few children to learn and to have fun, go to this link and look for "Each time you search here until March 31, 2007, Microsoft will make a contribution to ninemillion.org".
Save
February 15, 2007 The inherent quality simplicity book will be available in 2007. Reserve your copy in advance!
February 16, 2007 Added installment '7' Quality Decisions, 'Save'.
Give
March 17, 2007 ... If we give energy to someone who is giving it back then we build energy; it amplifies among and within us. If we all do this the software and IT community, and perhaps even humanity, will take inherent steps forward in evolution. We would further be one. We would more easily achieve challenges. Please share awareness of this site in a positive way. Please pursue a future for improved worldview. We hope a related positive chain of energy will start today giving birth to many related milestones prior to and following the year 2020. Thank you for all you do with quality in mind, heart and soul.
March 23, 2007 ... After a successful operation, the reloaded Booch has a second life that now extends into a modern day matrix where he is awarded by Dr. Dobbs for excellence in programming. Click the picture for related story.
Energized even further Booch continues to please fans in the real-world as they look towards their Neo's upcoming handbook as if the revolutions installment of a trilogy. Significantly backed by his team of supporters and contributors, we anticipate the handbook's inherent value will be a tremendous help to further moving quality inward and upward. For updates on related progress see http://www.booch.com/architecture/blog.jsp. In 2007, evolution is a positive movement that is energizing real and virtual worlds.
March 28, 2007... I was whistling a tune at the center and someone wanted to know what it was. They immediately started searching to see if they could identify it on the net. Click the picture to hear a sound clip of the tune.
Two months from today I will be at Informatics where I will introduce the notion of inherent quality. Ideally you will be there and will have walked through this site prior so we can move quickly into related brainstorming topics where your creativity will be what makes the difference. My journey to Informatics is a homecoming that I hope you will help make joyful.
Walk With Me (the music of life)... "Sometimes, you just can't put your feelings into words, so you look for a greeting card, a small gift, or maybe a song that sums up what you're trying to say. Walk With Me is full of music that speaks of love, of longing, of family, of life. If you've ever comforted a child, if you've ever fallen in love, if you've ever felt the joy of reconnecting with someone you thought you'd lost, you will find Walk With Me an appealing soundtrack for all of life's passages."
Hagood Hardy, Canada's foremost composer of contemporary instrumental music passed away 10 years ago. He once said, "I think in general we're all going too fast. It's time to slow down, re-examine, and reflect." I hope you get an opportunity to do so before and after Informatics; and going forward I hope you contribute in someway to improving the quality of life for others by creatively helping to share, mature and embed the notion of inherent quality.
May you be forever blest for doing so.
Best Regards, Ron
