Open Business Plans

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

I’d like to go down to New Orleans. I’d like to have something to do while I’m there, some work. I don’t want to to do anything profit oriented with Think New Orleans, of course. That’s not the purpose of Think New Orleans. It does cost money to run Think New Orleans, and to live […]

Topics for Think New Orleans

Saturday, September 17th, 2005

A list of things running through my head. Need to get them out so I can get back to programming.
Publius: Sorry, I’m more Wozniack than Jobs, at this point there are plenty of people with visions. I want to be one with code. I’m sure that this is going to be a group effort and […]

Organizing Around Communities

During the Wiki version of Think New Orleans, people were adding shelters to the directory. I was removing them. I was told that people need to find each other, […]

Volunteer Software

Friday, September 16th, 2005

Get the software done already!
Is utterly demoralizing. It makes every second a second spent failing. It is absolutely not the attitude to take on any software project, least of all a volunteer effort. I’m posting this here to get it out of my head, and into my blog, so I can forget about it, and […]

Notes On Tagging

Friday, September 16th, 2005

Snag. I’m relating a tagger to an item to a tag. What if there is no tag? What if I want to mark something, without tagging it? What if simply want to remember it?
Need to add that special tag type field, perhaps, and use the same table. Where do I attach notes then? Is there […]
