Way cool stuff
Tony is a free agent after Oct 17
My present contract as a programming technical writer ends Oct 17. I am taking offers to work with interesting projects in need of written, visual, design, musical, or web or other programming work.
A sample idea: I'd be interested in drawing a comic book to describe something technical or process-driven, similar to the promo for Google Chrome. Rahel Bailie showed me a project her company put together for the Legal Services Society. I'd be all over something like that.
Tony Chung goes dot-com
Tony Chung has gone international! In addition to owning http://tonychung.ca, he has now claimed ownership of http://tonychung.com!
Right now they both link to the same website, but be on the lookout for rebranding in the near future.
Viewzi visual search
This is way cool. A Flash site that serves search results in a variety of visual formats. I found the site while clicking through the portfolio of a web designer who's worked with some pretty cool startup projects.
Viewzi search results for 'Tony Chung':
You can change the search terms to something else if you like. I just wanted something cool to post here.
I'm not narcissistic— really!
Tony Chung is looking for new and interesting work

ExtJS befuddles me
I have only one more week on my current contract at PMC-Sierra. My final responsibility is to finish off this über cool web view of one of our documentation products, which will be integrated as an output stream from the newly-installed XDocs XML content management system. The best part about technical communication is that I get paid to write all day, and when I need a break, I can fix the CSS for an embedded help system or hack some JavaScript. My Technical Communication department manager gave me permission to showcase the web output with obfuscated text in my portfolio, so be on the lookout for samples in the near future. For the last month I've been going nuts trying to hack the ExtJS javascript application framework, recommended by the Technical Adviser from PMC-Sierra's Web Services department. I have no problem applying different plugins to my project. However, when I try to add custom behaviours to the objects, I get that little red Firebug that shows me the hand and says "not so fast, cowboy!"October 2008
Our fall program meeting was the highlight that kicked off the 2008-2009 season. Be sure to read the reviews by new volunteer Michelle Fredette, as well as the forum post by Clara Johnson, reprinted with her permission. It was great to receive this much feedback, both positive and negative. We can only grow better from this experience.How much do your kids know about sex?
Tonight I was put into an unusual predicament. The local elementary school plans to host presentations to discuss sexuality and sexual health with students from Kindergarten to grade five. My kids—my little babies, will be told about 'all the different holes' in their bodies, what they are and how they work. Not completely sure if I was okay with this idea, I joined my wife to listen to the speaker, Saleema Noon, give the skinny on all the ideas with which she planned to fill our kids' heads. Apparently I was only one of the 60 concerned parents who questioned what our kids would be learning, and above all, why are kids will be learning it. Saleema Noon is an attractive, 30-something, sexual health and family life educator with a wide range of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I lifted part of that statement right from her website. She has a B.A. in Family Sciences, and later completed a M.A. in sexual health education, a decision she says that was provoked by her counseling grade 10 boys and pregnant teenage girls with little or no factual sexual knowledge. The teenagers she counseled were vulnerable to peer pressure, due to their ignorance of sexual responsibility.Google Chrome is Good for Business
Apparently Google is not content with merely taking over the world. From their early beginnings as the ubiquitous little search engine that could, they’ve made a name for themselves through adding innovation on top of their acquisitions and partnerships. Until recently, web browsers were immune to this innovation—Google applications required Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, and [...]Virtual meetings can make a real-world difference
On September 16, RJ Jácquez, Senior Product Evangelist for the Adobe Technical Communication Suite, presented a remote meeting for the Society for Technical Communication Canada West Coast chapter. His involvement actually went above and beyond a mere sales pitch. RJ hosted the entire meeting through Acrobat Connect Pro, which combined a live video feed from our meeting location, prerecorded audio and video files stored on the Connect server, and his own presentation about the enhancements to the Adobe Technical Communication Suite for version 1.3. As part of the A/V team I was stoked to try out this technology. I wrote an article about our rehearsal for Coast Lines, the newsletter of the STC Canada West Coast chapter.Remembering 9/11
At first I thought I should write a post about where I was at the moment the planes hit the World Trade Center. Then I remembered I wrote an article shortly afterward that I posted on a reflections website. I could easily revisit that article, adding any new thoughts and reflections from today's perspective. But then Rick Detorie completely floored me with todays strip. Pictures really do say 1000 words. Or at least the core three.September 2008
Summer winds to a close. Fall is in the air. A new season has begun. We have a new executive, several new volunteers, and a number of previous volunteers moving into and around different positions. Sadly, this newsletter still looks the same as it did last year. Your webitor has been busy with work, family, and hacking our CMS code to find out what does what.
We are pleased, however, to provide the ability to comment on our newsletter articles through links to our discussion forum. Our pilot for this is the article, Reach out and connect to our remote members, about some new technology being introduced at the upcoming kickoff program meeting on September 16.
Be sure to read the Message from the President, Karen Rempel. This article is the content of an email she had sent to all our members before the summer, building on the vision of going virtual.
We’ve also recovered a number of articles posted by our previous newsletter editor, Dalyce Epp, which went missing from our archives.

RJ Jácquez is a Senior Product Evangelist at Adobe, and he is very excited to demonstrate the Adobe’s upgrades to the Technical Communications Suite since his last presentation to our group at DocTrain West 2008 in May. However, a discussion of FrameMaker, Robohelp, Captivate, and Acrobat may possibly be completely overshadowed by Adobe’s Acrobat Connect web conferencing system built on the AIR platform.We all stream for ustream.tv
As part of my volunteer activity for the Society for Technical Communication - Canada West Coast chapter, I offered to evaluate some streaming video technology we may use to kick off our program meeting in September. Since the spring of 2008, we branded ourselves as a virtual chapter, and shifted our focus from face-to-face meetings to online communities like a forum and wiki attached to our web site. One area we had yet to try was the notion of live video streaming. You can't get more virtual than live video. On a recommendation from Bruce Sharpe, I explored ustream.tv tonight, and I got hooked. In 20 minutes I joined ustream.tv, set up a channel, and broadcast my first video from a webcam connected to my laptop. I even recorded a clip, if you'd care to look....Fireproof: Never leave your partner behind
Thanks to today's email from Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, my favourite marriage and family specialists, I learned of a new movie being released by the creators of Facing the Giants. I have to warn you. I'm a sucker for a good love story, so I cried just watching the trailer.Support Our Sponsors
