It’s been a while.

Evening folks … out of interest has anyone out here used ServiceNow “agile boards” instead of Jira? Hard to find anyone - which says something in itself. DM me if you prefer.

@HealthscopeAu I’ve been helping someone complete an e-admission form. It says it will take 20 minutes, it has taken hours. A result of poor design, inability to save easily, questions that can’t be answered straight away. Have you ever done user testing on this form?

Comparing Main Street in Deadwood, South Dakota, in 1877 to 2023 reveals some interesting contrasts. Here are three fascinating facts about Deadwood: 1. In 1874, General George A. Custer led a military expedition that stumbled upon gold in the area. The news of this discovery spread rapidly, attracting a massive influx of prospectors to the region. The population peaked at around 25,000 residents due to the gold rush. 2. The name "Deadwood" originated from a small settlement called "Deadwood Gulch," which emerged around the gold mines. It is believed that the moniker was inspired by the abundance of lifeless trees found in the gulch. 3. As the town experienced rapid growth, it gained a notorious reputation for lawlessness. The absence of effective governance resulted in a surge of crime, violence, and gambling. Notorious figures like Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and Al Swearengen were drawn to the area, further fueling its lawless image. On August 2, 1876, Wild Bill Hickok, the legendary gunslinger and lawman, met his demise while playing poker at a saloon. Jack McCall, an unsuccessful gambler harboring a grudge against Hickok, shot him dead. This tragic event solidified Deadwood's place in Wild West folklore.

@DrGetafix @OrthopodReg I think dad still had them at home when were kids!

@OrthopodReg I’m assuming that’s RPAH Sydney? Did your dad work there? My grandfather was chief engineer in theatres there around that time so I imagine he had overalls just like that as well! Maybe they knew each other?

Erm…so think Dad might have *ahem* borrowed these from the RPAH, circa 1961 #MedTwitter

Morning all, Wondering if any Freelancers out there in my network are keen for a lead? A friend needs some help with a UX review of current thinking and then bringing to life some ideas that are currently in wireframes. Some UI design work will be needed. DM me :)

Hahahaha - @DrGetafix you’ll like this :)

@drdrdr09 That sounds like a really relaxing morning! Thanks :) I should have mentioned though this is the “one off” or small batch order. That said …

@glynthomas This is the simplest way: browse some bookstores until you find a photo book with the quality you are satisfied with, then see who the printer is.

Hi All - I am looking for good quality photo book printers in Australia. Does anybody have recommendations? I’m looking for good quality photo printing, nice quality stock and well constructed. It should feel nice to turn a page :)

Oh this is awesome! I do love its persistence though :)

@ryanspeaker @johncutlefish I also read it as … “ my team succeeding relies upon the other team succeeding first”

100% this - collective progress over individual “gain”

"Coles posted an 11.4 per cent surge in its bottom-line net profit to $616 million for the first half of the 2023 financial year from its continuing operations, underpinned by its supermarkets, where higher price inflation boosted sales." But the RBA remains fixated on wages.

@DrGetafix Dang!!!

I’ve interviewed 1000s of people over my career. Only 1% of candidates truly know how to stand out. Learn to answer these 13 questions and I guarantee you’ll ace your next job interview:

@GoDaddyHelp I need some help and nobody is answering chats or phone calls? A wait time of 141 minutes for chat does not “exceed my expectations”?

Great idea!
