In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there,In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born[a] son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

Project Management

This is something I found in my work confluence space. It was dated: Sep 11, 2019. I don’t remember why I put this in there. All I know is that it good information

I think of all the sections, project failure is the one to watch out for. As a government worker, the ones in bold are the big ones.

  • What is project?

    • Temporary in Nature, endeavor to create a unique product, capability or result.

    • Project has start/end date, expected output

  • Project Failure

    • Lack of Leadership, no one in charge or everyone

    • Lack of Stakeholder buy-in

      • Stakeholder is anyone who is affected by the project. Includes those who may stop it.

    • Poor scope definition

    • Project strays from its original goals

    • Unclear outcomes/expectations

    • Changing standards

    • Insufficient or mismanaged resources (budget/labor)

    • Poorly defined or unrealistic timeline

    • The project plan lacks structure and detail

    • The project is not tracked against the plan

    • Inadequate or non-existent testing with end user

    • Project team is not communicating

    • Political infighting.

  • Project Management Life cycle

    • Initiate

      • State the problem/need

      • Determine the scope/goals

      • Identity stakeholders (Decisions. Authority.Needs.Connections.Energy)

      • Determine what is success

      • Identify assumptions/risk

    • Plan

      • The how to complete the project

      • Risk Management

      • Resources

      • Communications

2024 ADHD and the Static Blog Generator

My ADHD is getting the better of me. I have a nasty habit of wasting time looking at solutions instead of just getting the job done. In this case, blogging software.

My current site as of now uses Nikola static web. My concern with all open-source projects is it supported and continually developed, and there is there a plan if the primary developer stops

I have been playing with Hugo since it is number 2 and not JavaScript and Pelican.

All in all, I am sticking with Nikola, a very it just works feel for a Python-based static blog generator.
