Anyways... to your question. Before my latest gig, I was a Tech Writer for a software/hardware developer in the retail gas station industry. I never got any awards for my work but, heck writing software docs isn't *that* tough (although it DID get awfully repetitive). Rob (web guy for a Zoo somewhere in North Carolina) |

You would think that Kevin would also realize that most engineering curiculums require courses in tech writing and that things like this are mentioned at some point in class. He seems to be so self asorbed that he cannot realize that the rest of the world might have a neuron between them. -CAL |

Just when I think you've exhausted your repetoire of leg-humping and come to the end of new ways to look foolish in public, you go and out-do yourself. You have to be the most literal, tedious, unimaginative, pedantic, and provincial sub-literate putz it has ever been my displeasure to encounter. See, Jerko (that's Cal's new name in ARK), before you begin to presume to lecture me about tech writing curricula, you might want to stop and consider that to an adult of average literacy and intelligence, "How do you know about STC?" means "Tell me about your involvement in something we apparently have in common." But you're not an adult of average literacy and intelligence, despite your crowing about your MENSA membership. And you're just all too eager to hump my leg to even briefly consider what it is you're responding to. >He seems to be so self asorbed that he >cannot realize that the rest of the world might have a neuron between them. > "Among them," mouth-breather. "Among them." Even then what you've written doesn't make much sense. Now go sit quietly over there in the corner. The adults are talking about Standards in Technical Communication (STC), and no one gave you permission to speak. -- Kevin S.

The most obvious and glaring omission that you make is you normally come across as an ass. For instance "adult of average literacy and intelligence", you are obviously citing the pedestal upon which you sit. I can imagine the discourse you must encounter by blessing the rest of the world with your grace just by stepping down and communicating with them. Your chronic nagging and seemingly compelled nature to comment and berate others on account of their lack of attention to detail in composing a usenet post just begs others to bust your chops. Slick, it is usenet and it is based on a communication system that loves any steps to minimize bandwidth. If your desire is to read and redline some boring diatribe, just go pick up a copy of JAM or IEEE journal of choice. > Now go sit quietly over there in the corner.

As a former chapter prez I tired REAL hard to make it relevant. Despite our small size I did manage to get some good presenters on some (then) emerging technology. Rob |

I assume you mean a special interest group having to do with instructional design and something beginning with an L. Never looked into it. STC is an excellent organization, but it is most useful for entry-level practitioners and for people looking for a network of colleagues. I haven't been in either category for years. -- Kevin S.

Stubby wrote: > What about the IDL Sig? Stubby- Not to knock the STC too hard or the IDL Sig. In fact, I'll be the first to credit the STC and Information Mapping with the framework in structured writing I picked up as a TechWriter. But, to our point, even the opening statement of the IDL sig (which I assume is very important information due to it's prominece on their Web site) is not inclusive of web technologies or marketing material design & writing. Instead we find : "Formed in 2000, our mission is to help STC members identify and develop knowledge and practical skills for designing, developing, and implementing technical instruction in electronic and traditional classroom settings. The SIG strives to promote sound design practices, provide information, and educate about instructional theory and research." STC is (and should be) for a very clear audience. It just doesn't apply to me any longer. Rob |

I haven't been in either category for years. > Instructional Design and Learning Special Interest Group. I agree, STC is best for entry-level, and those looking to network within the profession. I joined mainly for the networking aspects. Most of the members of my chapter, Twin Cities, are there for the same reason. I have gotten some good job leads from other members, and the meetings can be fun. |
