atw: Re: Tips exchange

Firstly - wasn't there a wiki going somewhere for this sort of thing?

Secondly - Wouldn't it be great if we had an internet 'forum' for
Austechwriter?
Cons - Granted that there would be financial implications for server =
costs
etc. and it would create a lot of work administration wise.
Pros - a one stop shop for Austechwriter....
No more individual emails or digests - simply connect to the forum =
whenever
time suits, read whichever threads / posts you are interested in and =
nothing
else.

I belong to several forums and find them extremely interesting and easy =
to
use.=20

    Don't you think it would be great if many people on the list posted =
=3D
  tips
    about a variety of subjects? What a fantastic resource and knowledge
    exchange that could be. (Not necessarily just about software, =
although =3D
  it
    has the advantage of being clear-cut compared to some other =
knowledge
    domains.)=3D20

    To me, the key is to keep tips short and to the point. Then it =3D
  wouldn't
    matter if you read several tips that you knew already, because you =
=3D
  wouldn't
    have spent much time reading them! And people who didn't already =
know =3D
  them
    would quickly learn something useful.

    Evidently many users don't like "Tips of the Day" in software =
because =3D
  such
    tips provide information which, *at the time*, is not relevant to =
=3D
  their
    work, and is often hard to find again when it *is* needed. (A recipe =
=3D
  for
    frustration!)=3D20

    But I *like* tips. And if I think a particular tip will be useful, I =
=3D
  write
    it down.

    Which brings me to another tip that isn't solely about software:

    * Keep a written record of tips, which you can take with you on your =
=3D
  laptop
    or when you change jobs or contracts. You can use the same document =
to
    record anything that might be useful to remember months later, such =
as
    Internet addresses, and code examples such as JavaScript or Visual =
=3D
  Basic. By
    using a single document, you can easily keep track of, back up and =
=3D
  transport
    all the of URLs and other stuff that you find useful.=3D20

    Thank you for the feedback, Tracy. I'm glad you found the tips =
useful.

    So come on, everybody -- each of us has at least one tip that we =
could =3D
  share
    whenever the list is quiet.

    Cheers,
    Craig=3D20
