Co-founder of Blue Oxen Associates. Hacker-philosopher. Socialtext, TiddlyWeb.

Put practice to ideas. That, in turn, helped refine the ideas.
 
= How I Met Chris =
 
unrev-ii mailing list. Created a tool called [https://www.burningchrome.com/~cdent/index.cgi?word=1 Warp].
 
Shared architectural principles and aesthetic. System administrator and programmer at IU focused on a knowledge base project. [http://arts.sourceforge.net/ Arts]. Worked with a lot of hackers who became part of my tribe.
 
Was at the School of Library Information Sciences at Indiana University. Wanted to do an [https://www.burningchrome.com/~cdent/slis/#596 internship] for one of his classes and reached out to me. Was starting up Blue Oxen Associates at that point, so he joined as an intern.
 
Chris's [https://www.burningchrome.com/~cdent/mt/archives/000121.html manifesto].
 
Purple numbers. PurpleWiki.
 
[http://eekim.com/2003/07/why-am-i-blogging/ Convinced me to start blogging.] Blogged a lot in those early days. Lots are in response to stuff that Chris said. It was a conversation out-loud. So generative.
 
= Lessons Learned
 
[http://eekim.com/2007/02/the-blue-oxen-way/ blog post on the Blue Oxen Way].
 
1. Shared understanding / shared language. [[Squirm Test]]. Wikis all about shared language.
 
2. Be less dumb.
 
3. Bootstrapping. (Name, Blue Oxen Associates, an homage to [[Doug Engelbart]]). Architectures that supported this.
 
"we clearly shared the idea that good tools combined with good use of those tools was an important aspect of being good collaborators." Supporting augmentation — reuse, sourcing.
 
If it's not captured, it didn't happen. Tremendous discipline plus similar orientation around digital infrastructure needed to do this well. E.g. fine-grained addressability.
 
Work rhythms. Asynchronous back-and-forth.
 
Think out loud.
 
[http://eekim.com/2006/08/good-personal-information-hygiene/ Information hygiene].
 
Synthesis is part of the work.
 
"stigmergy"
 
Just do it. [http://eekim.com/2004/02/transclusions-pathbased-addressing-and-version-control/ Transclusions].
