Less about why and more about how...

Navigating your complete  computer set up is much more difficult with the fast pace of change that has been brought about by the mobile and cloud introduction.

I have been surfing around a bit this morning reviewing and exploring the various things I have access to now  in my personal domain...  cloud folders, multiple blogs that need posting to, virtual machines and their resource limits..  various things.  It is a lot to keep track of.

What are the important take a ways? 

1. The first is that practice is critical in developing skill.  This is true for sports, it is true in ones profession and craft.  It is true in computing.
2. Inter-Relations of systems is a critical path.  Once easy to establish within a office domain, the mobile web and the potential need for granulated sharing with others brings complications.  Solutions exist but not without cost and administration.
3. The goal is being effective.  Administration may be defined as part of this goal but ultimately it is the content, the creation of content, the access to that content and the effect of that content that ultimately matters most.
4. Administration is important but it has its own cost.  It likewise has its own benefit and properly done it more than makes up for the investment.
5. Exploration of possibilities and settling on directions is a bifurcated process.

And to leave the Whazup intact, this one can be directed at me.  What is that Mind Map and how is it Navigated.  More to follow.
