Thurs & Fri Topics: Radio Education, and interesting Links.
11:20:25 PM    

Checking my Radio referrers, of who linked to my weblog site today, I see that someone was checking on banking mistakes and I was # 45 out of 16402 search engine hits.  It amazes me how much stuff is out there on some topics, and how high I show up in some searches.

See my "Banking Stories" for what they found of my prior remarks.

The bottom line moral for Everyone, is that bank clerks are just like you and me.

Everyone makes mistakes, including people who handle your money accounts at your bank.  You have to watch them like a hawk.  Their mistakes are potentially more serious for you than mistakes made by other clerks that we do business with.

People are more likely to make mistakes right after other mistakes.  In other words when something disturbs our normal routine, we get rattled, distracted, more likely to make more mistakes.  So one mistake leads to mistakes fixing original mistake.

This means that tech support people need to stay calm and not contribute to the nervousness that is out there.

Checking referers can sometimes find us other stuff of interest ... I was # 3 in an International search for Computer Security Future, and I see a link on the same page to the International Society of Mad Scientists on the topic of Saudi Arabia's interest in Quantum Computing for Security purposes, which interests me now that IBM has the world's first Quantum Computer in one of their labs.  ISMS home page has lots of links to weird stuff that I think is really borderline people out of touch with reality.

[AP News on Sept 11 Fund Financial report on contributions received and how distributed]

Among the more unusual contributions was the $5 check from Malawi, where the average annual income is $180.
