Automation
In my last post (don't expect this sort of continuity to, err, continue), I mentioned that I will attempt to post more regularly by building up a reserve of content and then doling it out in a metered fashion. I probably didn't use those exact words, but that was my intent.
Automation
To that end, I've written a little script (very little) that will do pick the next content in line from the reserve, put it into a pre-addressed email, and pop up a little window which will wait (patiently) for me to click Send.
I'm hoping to schedule this script to run each time if it's been more than a few days since my last post. Otherwise, I may just have it run each time I start the computer.
Pithy Sayings
This is a bit of a tangent into work philosophy. I've always liked these sayings:
What gets measured, gets done.
What gets tested, works.
I like these versions even better.
What gets measured automatically, always gets done.
What gets tested automatically, always works.
Oversimplification? Sure. But what rule is not without its exceptions?
