PLAN181: Computer Specification

{Some overly idealistic goals, plans and objectives I wrote up in the early 1990's, and otherwise based on ideas I had in the 1980's and possibly as far back as the 1970's.}

OPTIONS FOR SPECIFICATION OF COMPUTER (Early 1990's)
PROCESSOR 386 or 386SX
  • 20MHz
  • 25MHz
  • 33MHz
MEMORY 
  • 2 Mb RAM
  • 4 Mb RAM
  • 8 Mb RAM
FIXED STORAGE 
  • 80 Mb HDD
REMOVABLE STORAGE 
  •  1.2 Mb FDD
  • 1.4 Mb FDD
PORTS : 2 SERIAL
  • 1 PARALLEL (PRN)
  • 1 GAMES
OS : MS-DOS 5 or UNIX
KEYBRD : 101 ext
MONITOR super VGA
Maths Coprocessor

Not sure when I wrote this specification. Possibly wrote as text file on old Microbee computer in a book, before getting computer that could run Quattro Pro for windows version 1. This was extracted from Qpro file, and the computer I was running QPro on was faster [40 MHz] than the desired specification given above.

PLAN000: Mission Statement

{Some overly idealistic goals, plans and objectives I wrote up in the early 1990's, and otherwise based on ideas I had in the 1980's and possibly as far back as the 1970's.}

To design life support systems for individuals and communities to enable them to survive in any environment. At the extreme this requires that humans remain inside a building enclosure at all times or within a capsule as they travel from one building to another. The systems range in size from a suit, to a vehicle, to a dwelling to an entire city. The environments range from land, sea and air, from hot sandy deserts to cold ice and snow fields, to the bottom of the ocean floor, to the surface of the moon, to free floating space station beyond Pluto. To stretch the legs of humanity, to re-invigorate their pioneering spirit, to enable them to travel the universe and to extend the life of humanity beyond the lifespan of the planet earth. In the first instance however the task is simply to mobilize humanity on earth and provide the world population with the means of surviving with a reasonable amount of comfort

Summary Plan

Some overly idealistic goals, plans and objectives I wrote up in the early 1990's, and otherwise based on ideas I had in the 1980's and possibly as far back as the 1970's. Not sure of the date of the source for the original blog post, but I checked through my files and found individual Quattro Pro files (*.wq1) with a linked summary file dated 1992, then single Quattro Pro workbook (*.wb1) dated 1994, then another dated 1998. The year 1998, I believe is just the year I converted most Quattro Pro workbooks to MS Excel 97. Therefore the plans have basically been ignored since 1994,  briefly viewed again when transfered into TreePad business, which would have been some time after [25/01/2010]. Since it is in TreePAD business, which I use for writing most things, I figured  maybe I ought to read and revise the plans.

The Goals were originally wrote up in either WordStar (CPM/80), or WordPrefect (MS DOS), or possibly simple plain text files most likely using Turbo Pascal 3 (CPM/80). These goals were eventually imported into a spreadsheet (Quattro Pro) so that times and costs could be added, thus turning the goals into plans.

Posting on my blog so that I can review and see if actually achieved anything {or what I did instead}, and otherwise assess whether any of it is practical or achievable: and add comments to the goals accordingly.  Also so that the goals can also be revised and transformed into something more practical. In particular some of the plans identify articles to write, software to develop, and services to provide: all of these items can be discussed further in its own blog post and pointed to from the lists of goals. Such appropriate blog posts may have already been written. Additionally others may have independently developed and pursued ideas similar to what I had, and actually implemented them: whilst I merely dreamed.

The original plan numbering was adopted so that could have one file for each set of goals and plans, with a file name complying with the 8.3 conventions and also could have a linked summary sheet (Plan999). The original numbering convention was as follows.

GOAL SETTING           
PLAN000 -MISSION STATEMENT
PLAN100 -STRATEGIC GOALS
PLAN101 -TACTICAL GOALS
PLAN102 -READING LIST
PLAN103 -WRITING LIST
                                   
TACTICAL PLANS
PLAN110-SYSTEMS, METHODS & PROCEDURES
PLAN120-NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS
PLAN130-BUSINESS IDEAS
PLAN140-BUSINESS SERVICES
PLAN150-PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIST
PLAN180-COMPUTING
PLAN181-COMPUTER SPECIFICATION
PLAN190-MATERIALS LIST
                                   
REGULAR ACTIVITIES
PLAN200

I don't remember the over all philosophy for the above convention, however it was the format of the original plans that I posted. I'm guessing that given  I had no actual time frame in which do do any of the items listed and not otherwise an over all vision, that all was best classified as a tactical goal/plan. That is could use numbers less than 200 for sketching out goals and ideas, and use higher numbers 200 to 900 for more formal and realistic goals and plans, along with standard operational procedures (sop).

Any case this numbering system will slowly be replaced by the following alternative numbering system, with the original blog posts deleted and then replaced with renamed revisions. The initial revisions will now be a composite of the 1992 and 1994 spreadsheets, and will constitute personal goals, as have an independent written document for my Metamorphs entity.

100 Strategic Goals [5 to 20 years]

Business

Golden Grove Engineering Design Services

Original name intended for my fathers structural engineering consulting business. Mostly small private jobs he did whilst still working else where (in hydraulics), and I did whilst still studying mechanical engineering.

Roy Harrison & Associates

My fathers actual structural engineering consulting business started in 1994, which I joined as an informal partner (no bit of paper, no formal agreement).

Metamorphs

My registered business name, for an organisation, that is mostly concerned with research and development. Registered on 1st April 1996, it has never actually traded as such: that is no expenses, no revenue and no profits. But it otherwise produces software and reports.

MiScion Pty Ltd

The current owner of the business name: Roy Harrison & Associates. It now represents a more formal business agreement between myself and my father, with the both of us being shareholders and directors.
