M O B J E C T I V I S T: Objective Strategies (Dec 20 2005 06:51 GMT) - The title of this blog has nothing to do with Ayn Rand and the notion of "objectivism" that got promulgated by that series of cult fiction books. Actually, I believe that the Randians have co-opted the idea of objectivity well beyond the rational and dry technical meaning of the term into some sort of libertarian calling card, giving it some unfortunate connotations. Simply put, in the systems engineering world, (1) objective evaluation relates to the idea of verification and (2) subjective evaluation implies some sort of validation. This essentially sums up the distinction between what you can prove versus what the customer really wants.Having never read any Rand, I simply wanted a made-up word that you could easily Google, and msubjectivist stinks (in more ways than one). |

Drupal on CNET - Goodstorm charity e-business covered (Dec 20 2005 06:49 GMT) - Drupal got mentioned in CNET, as the platform of choice when Goodstorm was build by a group of San Fransisco entrepreneurs. "GoodStorm was built in just 10 weeks in part because it adopted open-source software called Drupal, a content management system. Kieran Lal, the company's chief technology officer, created a customized version of Drupal for the project, and he's working on updated versions to launch in the coming weeks that will include meet-up and organizational tools for members. That way, people with a cause can find each other, organize meetings and make promotional T-shirts all via GoodStorm." Goodstorm running on Drupal |
