Re: Ever wonder why techwhirler lives seem so crazy? (Take II)

Geoff Hart noted that:

<<<It would indeed be interesting, but it's worth keeping Steinbeck's
recasting
of Burns*: "The best laid plans of mice and men often** go astray." Even
the
best plans can't always keep up with recalcitrant realities...>>>

Funny, I thought of this quote when I saw your original post:)))  Because
of what happens to "the best laid plans", we're all well advised to do
what you and Andrew have suggested: expect chaos, and don't expect the
best laid procedures to have better track records than the best laid
plans:) 

Having said that, chaos is NOT good when you start vast projects with
half-vast ideas. I've seen way too much of that to EVER fully by into the
"chaos is good" notion. Move my cheese if you must, better you better
have a damn good reason:)))
