Joined Joanne for our customary Friday “muffin mosey”. We sat at Starbucks and planned out a trip we may take next year.
At 11 I joined what was until now the AI interest group. As of today we have a new focus. We recently learned that the new Channing House IT director, the jolly and likeable Jean (French zhan that is) means to replace our old in-house resident website, fondly known as Resweb, with a completely new site based on the Cubigo platform. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to replace Resweb which has a rather endearing turn of the century look to it, but there are a lot of immediate concerns about the details. The AI interest group has spent a lot of time talking about the shortcomings of Resweb lately so our collective ears perked up.
Jean made that switch at his previous employer, The Forum, a much larger senior residence a few miles away. He replied to a query that there, they had a Resident Tech Committee that was, he says instrumental in testing and refining that system. Channing House has no such general committee as yet, so we have appointed ourselves the ad hoc resident tech committee and we will work with the Resident Association exec committee to get that made official.
Frittered the rest of the day away.
This post is created using my iPad. Looking ahead to possible travel, wondering if I could make do with just the iPad, or should I carry a real laptop. Answer: either get a real keyboard for this, or the laptop.
