    In relationships I have a sort of switch. I work very hard until the point at which I think hard work wont work, and then something in my head just ‘shuts off’. Even with my ex wife, once I tried to switch it back on again I couldn’t. I can’t get over certain things. I cant get over infidelity with my first wife, or the combination of hoarding and tricking me into fatherhood with my second. Just can’t switch it back on. Conversely I can be in a relationship with almost anyone that I find even reasonably attractive, who will talk with me a lot.

    Why does this matter? WOmen seem to be more forgiving of men than men are or women “AS LONG” as men continue to provide.

    I am sitting waiting for coffee with one of Lviv’s most visible bag ladies. She is eating an ice cream cone. She has good manners.

    I am used to our many schizophrenics in America.

    OVERSING

    (diary entry)

    Trying to make a short demo video for Oversing for the home page. It’s killing me. How do you do a demo for something that big? I am too close to the product, I know.

    You have Slack, Trello, Asana, and maybe Mavenlink at the low end of the market. You have Jira above them in the technical market. You have the Microsoft, oracle, and SAP stacks at the top of the market.

    Oversing looks and feels like a mix of all of them. The buyer is not the end user like slack trello and asana – or even Jira. The buyer is at the middle or senior management level.

    Why? Because Oversing enforces process and policy through workflows. Sure, our workflows can be configured by power users – they’re pretty intuitive. But you can create organizational policy. And you can do it in multi-language, multi-currency, complex organizational structures, with different processes.

    Now, when we show it to developers they ‘get it’ and love it. And sure, they’re our first market.

    But it’s not just for in-house development so much as for agencies and consultancies and service companies.

    Oversing is to profit and loss organizations as Jira and Confluence are to help desk and production organizations. Oversing is to the enterprise as slack, trello, asana and mavenlik are to small businesses.

    So when we demo oversing, we show the accounting stuff first, then the workflows, then the user experience. Otherwise people get anchored.

    So I have to script this video somehow that shows off the heavy duty parts of the product without terrifying the end user. I suppose I can lay it out in the first bit with an illustration of some sort….

    Hmmm…. tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them.

    Keep it basic because all of the features will have individual short videos anyway.

    Well… thanks for letting me think out loud. lol

    ( Long day. In the center of L’viv. Everything is busy as heck tonight. Lots of happy people. BUT…. I have to find a brunette willing to give me hugs… let me see. I’m sure I can beg a hug off of someone. I will try to look charming, harmless, and pitiful. Maybe I will find a volunteer… I mean, it’s a matter of survival right? Who can live without hugs? I certainly can’t. 😉 )

  • (Diary) Progress on Deception in Literature and Philosophy

    [G]reat progress on this problem of literature and deception that I have been struggling with for years. I have these periods where I think I am not making progress, and then I make a great deal of progress in a few days. The periods where I make little progress are just records of the effort it takes to solve some of these problems. Some of these problems are very hard. Which is why it takes generations to solve them. I am sure rothbard would not appreciate what I have done. Hoppe isn’t going to love me any day soon. But it took us three generations to solve this problem. Each of us improving upon the last. I could have moved much faster if Hoppe had given me some of his time. But I suspect the conceptual bridge would have been a bridge too far. Unfortunately he was the only person worth talking to. So I had to do it almost all on my own. But with a little help from the Critical rationalists. The critical rationalists are still mad at me. But they were a necessary resource in the solution to the problem. If I can’t bring them along, then I can’t. It’s not important.

    ( Listening to the first hour of the red ice radio recording. I was trying to keep the audience in mind. I tried to speak slowly and deliberately and it sounds forced. And so I wasn’t myself. Gotta just do my thing going forward. If I am not talking really fast it’s not me. 🙂 )
