When fog surrounds the present and the past is out of date, the future is all that remains. This results in unrealistic projections, project over-runs, over expenditure and shorter than expected life in production. text/html 2010-01-23T21:13:05-08:00 rahul http://www.thinknourishment.com/doku.php?id=musings:artisan_network&rev=1264309985&do=diff A solution consisting of a web camera and a remote-server hosted artisan auction market. Under artificial light at a recommended distance from the web camera against a pastel background an artisan could capture an image of her wares and name a price. The remote server would provide global market access to the artisan. text/html 2010-01-23T21:12:35-08:00 rahul http://www.thinknourishment.com/doku.php?id=musings:granularity_and_specifics&rev=1264309955&do=diff An offshoot of having a unique proposition that is able to attract and retain a captive audience is projecting associated services and propositions that will provide an incentive to return. The principle requirement is to maintain a leading-edge offering of a highlighted specialisation. An expectation of returnees is that associated offerings be developed in-step with standalone and non-integrated remote offerings. text/html 2010-01-23T21:11:34-08:00 rahul http://www.thinknourishment.com/doku.php?id=musings:broadsheets_and_hubs&rev=1264309894&do=diff <a href=“<http://www.nytimes.com>”>Times</a> <a href=“<http://www.iht.com>”>her</a><a href=“<http://smh.com.au>”>ald</a> <a href=“<http://news.google.com>”>hourly</a> & <a href=“<http://www.economist.com>”>weekly</a> <a href=“<http://news.yahoo.com>”>news</a> <a href=“<http://news.bbc.co.uk>”>reporting</a>. text/html 2010-01-23T21:11:15-08:00 rahul http://www.thinknourishment.com/doku.php?id=musings:development_aid&rev=1264309875&do=diff Broadly, there are three drivers for encouraging growth for development for poverty alleviation, grants in aid, loans and technology/expertise transfer. <!--more--> The objective is almost always to directly spur an economically self-sustaining entity in the small or develop infrastructure or institutions to do so in the large. There is a preference for offering soft loans in preference to outright aid (as less favourable outcomes have been observed) as economic viability can more quickly and ea… text/html 2010-01-23T21:10:54-08:00 rahul http://www.thinknourishment.com/doku.php?id=musings:geographically_removed_collaboration&rev=1264309854&do=diff Platforms for remote collaboration have been readily available for quite a while. Yet now, they are simpler, quicker to deploy, manage and get accustomed with.

Content management systems should provide such functionality seamlessly and transparently while avoiding bloat. Meanwhile, content as plain text without so much as Hyper Text Markup continues to be future proof. text/html 2010-01-23T21:09:51-08:00 rahul http://www.thinknourishment.com/doku.php?id=musings:creative_work_phases&rev=1264309791&do=diff <ul> <li>preparation to strip problem of accidentals.

Meeting even sober targets on a sustained basis will throw up occasional fillers. The way to redeem such deviations from motivated production is to identify and record them for what they are, less constrained insights. Innovation may stem from chewing the cud.
