New Government Computer System Takes 15
Steps To Save A Document
New Government Computer System Takes 15
Steps To Save A Document
07/22/2004 04:26 AMAh, the federal government at work. When you install a new computer
system, you generally do so to make your office more efficient. Not
with the government. It turns out that a new SAP powered computer
system at two offices of (of all things) the Federal Technology
Service (the GSA's info tech procurement group), has
slowed things down
to a crawl. They're blaming the training procedure, but it says
people were trained... but apparently they were trained without
actually seeing the system they were being trained on (no, seriously).
The article claims that the GSA was shocked to discover that practice
and theory didn't match, and that employees actually needed trainers
on hand to help them when they actually had the new system in place.
Of course, one reason why they might need training is that the system
sounds ridiculously complex. It now takes 15 (count 'em) steps to
save a file. Meanwhile, bills go unpaid, orders go unprocessed, and
the group insists they're going to muddle through because turning back
is not an option and "workarounds" will upset the auditors.
Apparently, the $46 million of our tax money spent on the system did
not go to any usability testing. Among the other descriptive phrases
used in the article: "someone bursts into tears almost hourly," "it is
very, very difficult to learn the new system," "unnecessarily
complicated," and "not always intuitive." Sounds great.

footnote from
How to Deal With North Korea :
Had the
Agreed Framework not been signed in 1994, the North's plutonium-based
program would by today have produced enough plutonium for up to 30
nuclear weapons. Critics of the accord should not ignore this
fact. North Korea Said WHAT?!?

FilteredNewsFilter: The only headline about North Korea in most of
the media is that
the U.S. Wants North Korea Working Group Talks to Resume
Before the End of April. But, if you live in
Australia
or parts of
Asia, you will have heard about N.K.'s rather shrill
official statement claiming that the U.S. is
"dri
ving the military situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a
nuclear war" with
"moves to put the strategy of pre-emptive nuclear
attack into practice." Fighting words. How come nobody in
the 'real media' around here seems to have noticed it yet?

Mystery explosion in North Korea
Mystery explosion in North Korea
09/13/2004 10:31 AM
Xeni Jardin:
In North Korea earlier this week: an explosion, a giant crater, and a
"peculiar cloud." Both the South Korean government and the US
government say they don't believe North Korea conducted a nuclear
test.
The event took place on the day of North Korea's most important
national holiday. September 9, 1948, is the day on which the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea was founded.
President Bush and his top advisers have received intelligence reports
in recent days describing a confusing series of actions by North Korea
that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to
conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon, according to
senior officials with access to the intelligence.
While the indications were viewed as serious enough to warrant a
warning to the White House, American intelligence agencies appear
divided about the significance of the new North Korean actions, much
as they were about the evidence concerning Iraq's alleged weapons
stockpiles.
Some analysts in agencies that were the most cautious about the Iraq
findings have cautioned that they do not believe the activity detected
in North Korea in the past three weeks is necessarily the harbinger of
a test. A senior scientist who assesses nuclear intelligence says the
new evidence "is not conclusive," but is potentially worrisome.

may have been related to a dam-building project, or some similar

Bush policy on North Korea: do nothing
Bush policy on North Korea: do nothing
03/11/2003 01:59 PMAccording to the headline of the story I saw in McPaper this morning
on the way to work, "U.S. will wait out N. Korea situation No military
response to next nuclear step" The Bush policy towards North Korea,
one administration official is quoted as saying, is that they have
decided they "won't do anything." See the latest posting from Josh
Marshall as to why that is a terrible idea. But as importantly, I want
to understand: why is our policy towards North Korea so different from
our policy towards Iraq? Is it just that Hussein tried to kill Daddy,
while North Korea only kidnapped hundreds of Japanese citizens and
lets millions of its own die? What is the difference here? As someone
living within range of a North Korean nuclear tipped missile, I am
seriously wondering....
