Sayonara, P2 - WinK Core

As noted on Sayonara, P2 - WinK Core, "a Vox Group acts largely independently of the individual blogs of the members of the Group" (2009.09.05, at 11:11). This bears out in endeavours to capture content from Vox prior to its imminent closure (2010.09.30). Although it has been possible to move posts from Vox directly to TypePad (How to move your Vox blog to TypePad, [n.d.]), and indirectly to a WordPress blog (see: Bloxi, in diagram below), such exports capture only posts by a single [blog's] author [or authors?]. Moreover, as almost all of ... [an individual group member's] WinK Core ... posts were private, they became drafts.

[Note: Various WordPress installations offer different options for direct imports (WordPress.com: Support: Tools: Import). If Vox isn't among your site's options, you'll have to improvise.]

Building design and evacuation plans

How fast can you get down the stairs?

A news item on TV this evening reminded me that building designs may fail to prioritize evacuation, and that laws enacted after designs get implemented may be equally likely to fail to make evacuation feasible in existing buildings, whether there are natural or human impacts, for example: earthquakes or missiles; that threaten building occupants.

The following mind map represents consequential impacts on stairwells, rather than superstructures, without taking into account variation in individual or planned evacuation speeds; which depend in turn upon immediate floor-level casualties, and willingness of non-casualties to engage in near-peer evacuations.

Blogging Cmap (JPG image)

This post represents a Cmap of my current (and projected) blogging activities, exported as a JPG image (no active links), to illustrate - roughly - where, how, why, and for whom I blog:

If you click on the image (above), you can get a closer look. You may need to pan and scroll around to view the entire image.

I've got an IT Contest to attend in a few minutes, and exams to prepare afterwards. Then, when I get back to the drawing board, I intend to:

1. Add links to the blog header elements in the Cmap;
2. Simplify and enlarge the whole scheme;
3. Strive to post an interactive version.
   

Then maybe I'll have fresh goes with other mind-mapping tools that I've tried out already, to warm up for new courses next year (starting in April).

Notes

1. When I first tried to publish the outline from FreeMind in this post, Blogger identified two HTML elements in the XHTML (JavaScript version) export that I could could not use here: 1) title, & 2) stylesheet.
2. After I'd removed each bit of the code automatically highlighted by blogger in HTML view, the outline appeared in all its colorful hot-linked glory!
3. Now for a graphic.... Done (PNG export/upload).
   
4. Only one other little problem, the Expand/Collapse links that I included at the beginning of outline didn't change the outline in this post when published; they opened new post composing windows, instead. So I removed them.
5. I haven't figured out how to get a hotlinked mindmap (graphic) from the complete Freemind XHTML export into a blog page. If you have any suggestions, please leave comments.
