Thanks for sharing your experience with Herdr! I've been considering taking the plunge for a few weeks - going to do a one day experiment today.

Strengthening the Heartbeat, by the educational theorist Thomas Sergiovanni, is a book that’s helped me pattern match and verbalize the traits of the most effective organizations I’ve been blessed to participate in. It is about how any group of people does hard and meaningful work together. The book is ostensibly about schools, but the lessons apply to all people-centric organizations.

Oof - sounds painful.

I ran across it on the Pennsylvania Department of State website when it served up a download link for data.

Oh no lol

This one I visited was a false flag operation - worked fine in Chrome. I suspect they never bothered removing the banner after modernizing.

What a lucky friend - you're a superhero.

I wonder if there is a reddit thread with people showing off their surviving Windows XP setups. Mine is a dell tower laying on its side because I harvested a power supply unit from another dell, but it doesn't fit in the case.

This is a definite reality and headache. The learning curve was steep and I literally had somebody walk out after training them for less than two hours.

Nice - thank you!

<At first, my wife was pretty disappointed

I've got a mental picture of you excitedly unveiling your work to her. Glad she came around and very cool.

I still use a dot matrix in my office lol. I love the sound and they are so cheap to operate.

I remember training a new hire on her first day and, about an hour in, she said she needed a coffee break. I never saw her again lol.

Typically the first two weeks of training revolved around new hires asking why in the world we used this system before their spirits broke and they reluctantly plunged into the deep end...kind of like being released into the matrix.

Hahahahahaha - the kids are alright

Super interesting study. Training new staff was always the most challenging aspect of the software.

Train capacity is also sharply reduced during a downturn by stowing cars to keep prices elevated. Having an alternate option (an option with capital overhead that makes it more difficult to park during a downturn) will hopefully force more competition during those times.
