Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2008-05-07

  • @kanter ts Go, SuperBeth! #
  • The woman in front of me in line at the coffee cart was surprised when the man told her they only take cash; no credit cards. WTF?! #
  • Having difficulties accessing NYU research databases from my work this morning. #
  • Attending a #cp2tech01 workshop field trip in the Ciaris community http://www.ciaris.org #
  • @smithjd Thank you, John. As I am attending the #cp2tech01 vai phone calls and not skype, I at times feel not as much a participant. #
  • @cp2tech We should brainstorm how to visually represent people who attend teleconferences from different locations (phone, skype, etc.). #
  • @cp2tech Twitter is a wonderful back channel for some of these communication issues. #
  • Trying to understand CIARIS’ mission against "social exclusion." That seems somewhat broad; am not sure if I am reading it right. #cp2tech01 #
  • @smithjd John, I cannot find the RSS feed again. Can it be on the front page for ease of access? #cp2tech01 #
  • @maniactive If only we can be so lucky. For the coffee cart, they do not even have electricity! #
  • @abalone Thank you for the link. I wonder if some of my confusion is that there does not seem to be anything similar in the US? #cp2tech01 #
  • @phdaisy Yuck. That is a means of last resort. Can’t you use Outlook itself? I know I can for my university email. #
  • @abalone Not now, still trying to understand this. Rich lesson in cross-cultural applications of social issues and CoP. #cp2tech01 #
  • @BronSt Bron being a tough timekeeper! You would fit well with my internal project workgroups! #
  • @socialthing Can we help test? #
  • @abalone Who was busted – me or you? #
  • @maniactive They are indeed a hard working crew of two who are set up quite early. #
  • @abalone Me?!?! Not multitasking; think of it instead as working to capacity. #
  • @abalone Inspiration for blogging comes from all over the place http://tinyurl.com/6gc365 #cp2tech01. #
  • Attending the #cp2tech01 field trip with Webheads in Action. #
  • @socialthing Very cool. Thank you! #
  • @abalone Thank you! @CP2Tech01 #CP2Tech01 #
  • @cp2tech01 RRRRRRR; are muted again. Those participating on the teleconference but NOT on skype are challenged with participating. #
  • @Currie @bdieu and @abalone — thank you for helping to intermediate between skype and Twitter (pure teleconference) #CP2tech01 #
  • @cp2tech01 What is the "pub aspect" mentioned on the field trip? #
  • @etheoreal Much appreciated #cp2tech01 #
  • @abalone Not sure if that really helps . . .
    #CP2tech01 #
  • @abalone Exellent. Thank you! @CP2Tech01 #
  • @CP2Tech01 QUESTION about Webheads, to follow up with @Currie – Webheads seems so decentralized; how can it still be considered a community? #
  • @BronSt Thank you for asking my question! #
  • @BronSt I suppose I am having trouble wrapping my mind over what this is. #cp2tech01 #
  • @BronSt I think that usually there is a central web site with references to the other technologies to "ground" the community #cp2tech01 #
  • @susny Interesting, Sus. How do people know where to look for these folks? #cp2tech01 #
  • @injenuity Do share . . . #
  • @cp2tech01 My headphone is muted! #
  • @cp2tech01 I just signed up for the Webheads Yahoo group; awaiting approval. Good start #cp2tech01 #
  • Going to a faculty workshop on graduate program student grading. Anybody have any grading horror stories to share? #

Multitasking = Working to Capacity

A colleague accused me (or rather busted me, to use her words!) of mulitasking during one of our Connected Futures CP2tech01 field trips, to which I responded that multitasking is more about “working to capacity.” I like framing mulitasking in that way better – mulititasking is working to capacity!

Of course, work and capacity are both words that can be defined in many different ways. Ask any mother, student, knowledge worker, or community of practice technology steward!
