Struggling to stay strategic
Eskil Busck Andersen, 28 Oct 2008 (10:55)
Sorry for not getting back to you on the conference thing (see my last post). I didn’t stay long enough to see Tim O’Reilly, so there wasn’t much to tell you about, but I know that all of it are accessable as video somewhere online, so maybe I’ll provide you with a link some day soon.
These days I’m working with the internal knowledge-sharing flow at Glue. We have 10 blogs, 30+ emails a day, 40+ delicious accounts, a server full of docs, 100+ external resources and much more, which can be quiet difficult to index and share with other Gluers - especially new ones, like me. So one of my tasks for the next couple of weeks (or maybe even months), will be to help make a better system or amend one the existing ones. So far the answer seem to be a WordPress driven post system (WordPress is an Open Source blogsystem that is also used for this blog).
It’s a brilliant system with a wide range of options - which makes it difficult for me, not to play around with and start to make an alpha version of how a knowledge-sharing system could work; Setting up Yahoo Pipes with different feeds, adding plugins to WordPress and restyling it. Lots of fun… but not really my job.
I’ve spent the last 5 years working as a freelance front-end developer/company owner and being in that position, I had to do many different things. I wonder if I’ll ever get used to not testing, trying and developing? It will probably be considered a waste of my time, when I land a million pound job ;)
Anyway… I guess it’s better to have the skills and not use them, than not to have them at all.
