PS Transitions FP Initiative — The 2002 Conference

The PolyBlog
February 6 2011

Back in 2002, I was fortunate to be part of a group of ex-Carleton students, now working for the federal government, who wanted to put on a conference on Recruitment and Retention issues facing new public servants. The conference was a lot of work, and the team delivered it well (I’m not tooting my own horn here, most of my assistance was on the creation of a website). I’ve posted the report and documents under a main “PS Transitions FP” page, with sub-pages for:

  • Main Page / Page principale
  • Report / Rapport
  • Appendices / Annexes
  • Conference Documents / Documents de conférence
  • Photo Gallery / Galerie des photos
  • The Organizers / Les organisateurs et organisatrices
  • Archives

In true Canadian public servant fashion, most of the material is available in both French and English, although a few of the original source materials are only available in English. The full report is also available for download.

    By now, most people have seen some form of AI crop up in their tools. The most obvious one is Google’s search engine, which provides results from its AI mode first in the list. You can go pretty far with that prompt, even asking for image creation, although that’s a terrible place to create images … Continue reading →
  • More workplanning on my new Calibre libraryMarch 28, 2026
    I wrote earlier this week (Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooks) about the Poly Library 3.0, and when I did, I thought I had most of my “work” done. I had decided on three main areas (the book profile, user engagement, and user tools), although, truth be told, I had four categories … Continue reading →

    For those of you who don’t know, as I didn’t blog about this much before, Jacob decided to have surgery on his legs this year, which he did at the end of February. I’ve held off posting anything as I didn’t want to ask Jacob what he was comfortable with me sharing, but today was … Continue reading →
  • Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooksMarch 23, 2026
    I have used Calibre literally for years to manage all my ebooks. It started way back when Kindle was doing a huge business of people pushing freebies of their ebooks. Some good, some slush, all free. But it meant a LOT of ebooks to manage. So I tried a couple of programs, most of which … Continue reading →
  • What would you put in a personal health dashboard / framework?March 8, 2026
    I started this year with a few short plans to work on health factors in my life. Some of it was prescribed; I needed a physical exam for certain pension forms. Others were ones that I was trying to do some proactive work on, like my teeth and my feet. And still others were more … Continue reading →
