I have been talking about Lightweight Processes and suggesting that all process must be adequtelty documented.

This got me thinking about easy, lightweight, method to document lightweight process — in the project Wiki of course. To that end I have started up a small project to create Lightweight Process Documenation support.

It will have to wait until I complete some other things, but I am hoping it will easy to create some CSS and a few XHTML tables that can be used to guide the documentation process.

[Update July 2008: I haven't got much done with the CSS etc. However I did post a simple example of what it might look like]

Arrh!! For the second time in a week I have doubled booked myself :-(.

I need an alternative calendar system. Currently I use the daily pages in my journal to make a diary note. However this does not seem to be working well anymore. I think a combination of not being able to read my own writing and not copying family appointments into my journal are the main reason.

I have also have access to Google Calendar and a Zimbra Calendar. However they are on servers and I want something I can carry and use off-line. Since my Windows PDA does not sync with my Linux software I feel very stuck.

When I was using MS Outlook then the PDA thing worked very well…

Anyway — sincere apologies to those who have been inconvenienced by my lack of control and effective tools

I came across a really intretsing web site the other day called Lulu, a commercial site that allows you to publish and sell books (and other media). It is intresting for two reasons:

• What it allows you do by creating small print runs. e.g. create documentation for your product, print internal process manuals, etc. Prices seem resonable — I would be intrested to know at what point it becomes cheaper to use a traditional printer.
• How the website is designed. It’s easy to use, has a clear product message and is well layed out

It was a very ‘obvious’ web site, even though the service being offered is quite complex.
