I Don't RTFM and Neither Should You : August 2008

.... with his comment on my first blog post about having yet another blog. I decided to change the subject from Scott's Blog (about as generic as you can get ) - to something that speaks to my core belief from working in the IT industry for over 15 years.

Manuals are only good for one thing, digging you out of a hole after trying to actually use the product. I've only ever gotten a solid grasp on any subject by doing. I'm sure many feel the same way.

I think that's why YouTube is so popular -- or one of the reasons :-) Because of this core belief, I tend to do more demos than other type of work. You can view them from my YouTube account.

So I guess I'll continue to blog on multiple places, until the internets finally decides to have one "me" .. anyone remember Novell's DigitalMe about a decade ago ? Funny how we see the same themes repeat themselves over and over.

Strange how all this blogging, tweeting, social media stuff feels like the BBS's I was on in middle school :-)

Have you ever really "learned" anything from a manual ? ... yeah me neither, I use them after I get stuck trying to USE the stuff. Much better way to learn !
