Luck and Chance
There is a lot to think about…. I remember a post in Facebook about lots/land for sale that I found on Zillow that reminded me of my old address in Bowie, MD. That address reminded me of my name because it was full of doubles. Here is the post: Luck may have been involved. I… Continue reading

Names
Still thinking about my blog names…. I found some good information in my ‘What’s in a name’ board on Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/whats-in-a-name/). One pin led me to the website https://markosaric.com/blog-name/ that includes this information on how to choose a blog name: Use your full name as your blog name Think GaryVaynerchuk.com, KaylaItsines.com, AustinKleon.com, JamesAltucher.com… Make it… Continue reading

Writing Style
I found an interesting article on “10 Ways To Stand Out And Develop A Unique Writing Style” (https://writersedit.com/fiction-writing/develop-unique-writing-style/). Interestingly, the author recommends that writers use their experiences as a springboard. That resonates with me because I use my background a lot. Almost all of my PhD papers were based on my background – I took… Continue reading

Writing, Online reviews
I decided that I need to practice writing to continue to improve my writing skills. I rather enjoyed the prompts on WordPress (https://fahmeenaodetta1.wordpress.com/dailypostchallenges/). Linkedin articles were one way to practice. Here is an article I enjoyed writing: Abuse of Power In Online Reviews https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/abuse-power-online-reviews-fahmeenaodetta-moore/ It led to selection of the topic (online reviews) for my… Continue reading

Transferring to a new career
More thoughts on my education and background… Training and experience in performance auditing provided skills that transferred well to testing computer systems/applications. Here is an example of a performance auditing report: https://www.osc.state.ny.us/state-agencies/audits/2018/05/04/compliance-payment-card-industry-standards-follow It determined the extent to which recommendations were followed. Testing compares actual to expected – looking for defects or unexpected/undesirable system behavior. A… Continue reading

School projects
I went looking for my projects/assignments from the MS in Information Systems program at UMBC. My web page was: https://userpages.umbc.edu/~mooref1/. It included projects like the online magazine subscription store, completing a shopping cart program, and a blosxom blog (http://blosxom.sourceforge.net/). That was a good program! https://onlinems.umbc.edu/courses.php Continue reading

IT vs Business
Further thoughts on my education….. I started my career in finance and somehow ended up in the IT (information technology) field. Who would have thought? Maybe I should have selected a technical undergraduate degree. I am happy that I decided to study computer studies at O Level even though I was a business student. And,… Continue reading
FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
