Comment spam and Haloscan

September 22, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

Seems like a lot of people are getting hit with comment spam, no matter what platform they are using. Blogger, MT…everything seems to fall prey. Can I just say – knocking on wood – that I have been with Haloscan since near the very beginning, and it is a rare day when I get a piece of comment spam. Whatever they are doing, it works, and you don’t have to register, enter little codes or log in. And it’s free and it comes with syndication. So here’s props to Haloscan!

But we need structure

September 22, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

One of the things I hear from many clients is a call for “structure” in conversations. This is a term in need of a definition, and whenever I hear it, I try to clarify what is meant. In a lot of cases, structure means having items laid out on an agenda and a clear sense that we will come to come agreement on them. “Structure” is often a synonym for “control.” I don’t have an issue with structure, but, in keeping with the previous post, control is more problematic. Structure appears everywhere. Despite the fact that many people see Open …

Senge on facilitation and cursing the wind

September 22, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

Peter Senge in Edges from back in 2000: “Facilitation is much like sailing. You’ve got to work with whatever arises. That’s my experience. Whatever arises is exactly what is supposed to arise. Whether or not it is convenient doesn’t matter. And that sort of trust is usually the mark of a masterful facilitator. Good facilitators have actually internalized a belief based on experience, that whatever happens is supposed to have happened — even if it is very problematic and unfortunate. And because of that belief, you don’t waste your energy trying to fight what is going on. Instead you try …

Aboriginal woman appointed to the Senate

September 22, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized 4 Comments

Just a note that Sandra M. Lovelace has been appointed to the Senate. She’s a citizen of the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick and she joins a small contingent of Aboriginal senators in Ottawa, none of whom, I believe, are women.
