I hope you think about what I am asking in this video and that you figure out how to apply these ideas to your organizations to improve the quality and sustainabilit of your installed applications.
If you are in a position where you can influence a change in your Application Deployment practice then please ask yourself and your management associates: Your systems work today. But will they be sustainable assets five years from now?
This is a follow-up to the Password Paranoia session I posted earlier on this site. In this session, I discuss how to use a Google Sheets file to track every Password Creation and Change so that you can protect your passwords and online accounts from being hacked.
This practice is NOT a guarantee that you will always be safe from hacking, but by changing your Login IDs and Passwords on a regular schedule, you can improve the safety and defense of your privacy and data.
This was true for me back in 2010 and is still true for me today.
I hope you take the time to listen and enjoy. bgbg
Passwords are essential to your online safety and security. However, they are also fairly easy to hack so that others can steal and mess with your data online. That might be OK if the only things you have placed online are fairly innocuous data, but what if someone were to hack into your checking and savings accounts? That would be generally bad, right?
Watch this video to see how you can reach me so that I can help you protect your information with a few technical steps to monitor and maintain your Online Account Passwords.
Thanks for listening, and I look forward to helping you in the future..

Several years ago, a friend of mine and I decided to create a series of Podcasts to advise people on how to find work. The economy, at that time, was slow and not actively hiring, so we thought it would be a good idea to help folks get prepared, organized, and motivated to move their Job Search forward.
And it seems the job-searching environment is also suffering at present, so I thought it would be good to bring these sessions out again for those in the Job/Income Hunt mode.
Here is an incomplete list of those podcasts. Listen and enjoy:
Are you looking forward to retiring, or are you already there? Are you really ready for retirement? You might not want to take on another full-time position, but wouldn’t it be nice to get paid for your experience, skills, and capabilities?
Fill out this form (Link Below) and let other experienced people help you continue to work in your industry and your fields of expertise, so you can postpone full retirement until you are actually ready for that new stage of life.
12 July 26: Build a NEW FORM ASAP
Geri-Actives is a company owned and operated by Seniors like you who are just not ready for retirement and are actively engaged in continued work for their own satisfaction.
It’s good to know that others are reacting to the recent election results in a similar manner to my response.
An Event initiates a Process. The Process collects, manipulates and saves Data including a State setting. Each change in State (including from No State to a State) can be used as an Event.
There are many external Events which occur and trigger their associated Processes within an automated application. As examples:
Two Master Processes are always running which monitor their “Event Threshold(s)”:
Each of these monitored Events are associated with and will initiate their necessary Processes.
And so the circle goes.
Some sample events include:
I believe that using Artificial Intelligence tools and their capabilities will increase for the foreseeable future. I also believe that since it is such a new “science” or capability, we need guidelines and safety measurements super-imposed on this usage so that we have some protection against the mis-use of this powerful and, as yet, uncontrolled capabilities.
As part of my constant interest in learning new things, I subscribe to several newsletters, blogs, podcasts as sources of new information for me to think about. One of these sources is “The Rundown AI” which has been very information for me.
In March of 2024, their newsletter announced the creation / publication of an Artificial Intelligence set of “ground rules” from the European Parliament (EU). Hopefully, The Rundown will not be offended that I republish some of that article here:
| Welcome, AI enthusiasts. |
| The AI revolution just got its first major set of ground rules, courtesy of the EU’s landmark AI Act. |
| But while the sweeping new legislation aims to reign in the tech’s most dangerous use cases, not everyone is convinced its the right approach. Let’s investigate… |
| The Rundown: The European Parliament just passed the landmark Artificial Intelligence Act, establishing the world’s most comprehensive set of regulations for AI tech. |
| The details: |
| Newly banned AI apps include biometric and facial recognition on sensitive characteristics, social scoring, and AI that manipulates behavior or exploits vulnerabilities. High-risk AI, such as in infrastructure, education, and employment, will face strict obligations like risk assessment, transparency, and human oversight. The law has drawn criticism from both sides — with companies worrying it stifles competitiveness and watchdogs arguing it doesn’t go far enough. The rules will take effect in stages, with some applying as early as six months after the law enters into enforcement. |
| Why it matters: The AI Act positions itself as the global standard for regulation, but will it disadvantage EU-based AI companies in the process? Despite the critiques, the act is a big first move — potentially influencing other countries’ AI approaches and altering the trajectory of the industry. |
The trick, I think, is how to effectively and thoroughly apply these guidelines and then report of the progress of its implementation and to respond to the AI world’s compliance to these and newer standards as they are published.
