The document outlines lessons learned over a 40 year career, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing family and personal life over work. It cautions against an all-consuming focus on success and advises that many ambitious projects can be achieved working just 10-20 hours per week rather than constantly operating under high-pressure crunch conditions.

This document describes Gary Gaspar's journey from wanting to be an entrepreneur but not knowing where to start, to creating the website Weezbook to help people discover inspiring books recommended by successful people. He realized many other young people were starting businesses, so he checked out books that inspired entrepreneurs and wanted to find more. This led him to create Weezbook to organize recommendations from people like Bill Gates and Barack Obama. With a co-founder, they built a prototype at a startup weekend event and gained initial feedback. While books can't directly build a business, they helped Gary work harder, think better, and feel anything is possible.

How To Be Creative, By Hugh MacLeod (a ChangeThis manifest)

Creativetime
The document discusses the importance of prioritizing "important but not urgent" work for creative people. It argues that being organized and setting aside dedicated time each day for one's own creative projects is necessary to make progress on long-term goals, rather than just reacting to other people's demands. The author shares an example of how getting up early allowed him to edit a poetry magazine, complete a master's degree, start a successful blog, and still have time for other commitments. Prioritizing "important but not urgent" work each day, even if just for 30 minutes, helps creative people avoid getting sidetracked by interruptions and distractions and make steady progress on their own initiatives.

Visual Design Thinking (#VDT) is a prototyping, cooperative methodology and a set of tools.
It is a work-in-progress project, a process you should try in order to create more empathy and more co-creation with your clients, but also with your team. Customer cooperation over contract negotiation as the Agile Manifesto says.
VDT is an experience - centered method with a focus on visual languages and techniques, our interdisciplinary approach to visual web design.

The document discusses visual design thinking and the user experience design process. It covers topics like understanding users through ethnography, developing user stories, co-designing with clients, designing responsive interfaces with a mobile-first approach, and using various tools like Moodboards, prototypes, and feedback. The presentation includes case studies of applying this process to projects like a bike sharing service, wedding planning website, and medical park website. It emphasizes the importance of a human-centered design approach that simplifies interfaces and doesn't make the user think.Hackers & Painters: Filosofía de la Cultura Hacker

This document discusses keys to building an effective website. It emphasizes that a website is no longer just a basic online presence, but rather a complex, interactive experience that represents a brand. To build a successful site, a company must have a clear understanding of its brand identity and value proposition. The content of a site is also crucial - it must be structured in a way that meets user needs while achieving business goals. Finally, a site must be continually tested, tracked, and improved to develop better user experiences over time.
Collaboration, Publications, Community: Building your personal tech brand
This document discusses how to build a personal tech brand through collaboration, publications, and community involvement.

Suggestions include contributing to open source projects, writing a blog, joining professional organizations, public speaking, and networking at events. However, it warns to be aware of intellectual property restrictions in employment contracts. The overall message is to gain experience, showcase your skills, and get involved in order to prove your abilities and advance your career.

Outcomes Over Process : Mike Atherton : Collaborate Bristol
The Road Less Travelled
I've found a new passion in teaching the next generation of UXers. I remind them always to keep their eyes on the road. Outcomes over process. The tools help us get there, but ultimately what we're working on is so much more important than how we work.
How do we design more distinctive, credible, and memorable products? Should we work more responsibly, more ethically? What does it mean to solve the problems worth solving?
It comes down to understanding who we are and what we stand for; as organisations, and thus as individuals. Our core values, our personal missions, and our distinctive personalities combine. This is our brand.
As user experience designers we get excited about new tools, new methodologies, new books in the scripture of the holy church of UX. You've got to learn the rules before you can break them. But so often the world becomes saturated by well-meaning, well-crafted products which fail to be distinctive or daring, or want to speak to us with a personality we don't believe. Does the world need another iOS photo filter app or a bank who wants to be our best mate?
Brand is our compass in navigating the road less travelled. When our values are aligned to the things we create, work doesn't feel like work. We're happier, and better rewarded. What's the work you'll one day be proudest of? How will the work you do make a difference?
Why do you do what you do?

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

The number of projects that are truly impossible unless you put in 80 or 120 hours per week are vanishingly small by comparison. This is of course nothing new. We’ve been playing this bongo drum for years. But every time I see people crumble and quit from the crunch-mode pressure cooker, I think what a shame, it didn’t have to be like that.”
