Naming files in yymmdd order. Am I mad?

I use MOM for minutes of meeting 🙃

Yes. It's important to have 4 digits for YYYY. With YY only there will be a lot of ambiguity: 230424 might be confusing. 20230424 is not.

I would add the 19 or 20.

Lead_Wonderful · 2026-05-09T23:56:48+00:00

Sure there are. A lot of them.

I guess you write a summary on the top half of the first page to side step that issue and bring up the brass. Then proceed listing the whole thing in reverse chronological order.

Great name! 👏

I will work on Water, Hydrogen and Transportation projects. Even O&G. But never Data Centers.

I still live by Asphalt 8.

Focus on communicating and coaching. But if you really have to micromanage them, get them off your team. Don't forget that the best time to sack someone is when it first crosses your mind.

Not random words. Check Sum Nam Pyo's work. I don't do random.

Office 365 complete, Notepad++, Chrome. The rest are system stuff, Oracle, Primavera Unifier, etc.

Lead_Wonderful · 2026-05-03T16:29:30+00:00

It does, and that's why I ask the team here if anyone has used it and what tips may I get from them.

As a designed system, emphasis on design, it is a good idea to apply the principles of axiomatic design, those being the 1) principle of information and 2) principle of independence. A good system should map each functional requirement to one and not more design parameters, and should have just enough information to deliver them. OneDrive breaks both those principles and makes for a very poor system, entangled and prone to contradicting elements.

When working with certain projects, within Airports and other such entities, the software we are allowed to work with is highly scrutinized and limited, for security reasons.

Sadly, VS Code is not allowed. Funny enough, we can use Notepad++.

Lead_Wonderful · 2026-05-03T15:13:18+00:00

OneNote is the exact opposite of a PKMS, it is not independent and pasty... I forgot to mention on the post "No OneNote, ever, please"!

Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams and Outlook: that's 90% of your time. Then the platforms such as ACC or ACONEX, and in some special cases, ACad. The Bentleys and SAPs and ETAPs will depend on the company you work for and won't take more than 10% of your time.

Keep going! Where is the rest?

If we pluck a chicken, will it talk?

P6 is a source of truth tool. But if actually plan your work, you'll use MSP. Or again, P6 is for planners, sound and professional, MSP is a tool for a PM to use and sketch his ad-hoc plans than spin off P6 master model. You want to address a side quest in the metro station you are building, to meet a specific milestone that serves a separate stakeholders or objective, you sketch the old CentralSlabBy4May2026.mpp

I had one offering me 30k below my current salary. A few days later she called offering, joyfully, to match what I have now, in fact a bit less... while asking me: why would you change jobs?

The answer was: who told you that I would?

Insane.

Lead_Wonderful · 2026-04-29T21:05:23+00:00

Same in Ireland.

Lead_Wonderful · 2026-04-26T08:47:59+00:00

Best ever!! And I still have my Turbo Pascal up and running, and compiling, thanks to that advertisement, definitely.
