    “Never go into the bush alone”

    ByJoseph Paris March 21, 2008February 18, 2026

    In 1996, my first assignment to South Africa for XONITEK was being hired by Macola-South Africa to train their personnel – and the personnel of their resellers – on how to implement Macola’s ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution.

    ByJoseph Paris February 21, 2008February 18, 2026

    Let me start by just “laying it out there”: I am a Giants fan and have been all of my life. And I believe that Giants fans are some of the saltiest, most cynical and hardened of fans. For instance, we believe that the “prevent defense” really means to prevent us from winning, as opposed…

    A Purge of Distracting Musings

    ByJoseph Paris October 16, 2007February 18, 2026

    “Idleness is a constant sin, and labor is a duty. Idleness is the devil’s home for temptation and for unprofitable, distracting musings, while labor profiteth others and ourselves.” – Anne Baxter, American Actress The summer is over and it’s time to prepare for the change in seasons… to remember the warmth and joy of summer……
