PRINCIPLE 4: ACCEPT NO VERBAL ORDERS
In 1961, Lockheed had a standard document called an ANVO. This meant
“ACCEPT NO VERBAL ORDERS”.
This is a very important and valuable concept. Spoken commands are
more likely to be misinterpreted.
Your boss might only make verbal commands. In this case, give him
your interpretation in writing.
When an ANVO has been issued, make sure that its required effort
is properly documented in your log.

There have been quite a few requests for advice on
“how to build a blog”. As you can see from my blog, I have
prepared a lot of posts. Therefore, I have learned how
to do it efficiently.
There are some simple rules for making your blog easy
to prepare.
1. Have a well-defined purpose for your blog. For myself,
my blog was a means of publicly documenting my research and
development efforts.
2. Use a standard format. Then you can build a template
which will greatly facilitate its preparation. I use
my development software to write the blog.
3. Don’t get carried away with an artistic design. I use
the free WordPress. I do not use any pictures; all I
have to do is paste in the text. Above all, I did not
have to develop the blog web-site.
Above all, recognize that every post you publish will be
in the public domain forever. I have been very careful
to put just enough information to identify and date my
efforts but not to give away any proprietary data.
Hope that this helps.
This purpose of this post is to publish single line status
reports on the projects performed during the week.

PRINCIPLE 3: MAKE SMALL SELF-DOCUMENTING SOURCE FILES.
Each of your source code files should not be longer than
three or four pages.
Each source code file should have lots of descriptive
comments.
Each source code file should reference a section of
your plan.
Each variable name should be instantly identifiable.
Keep in mind that your source-code goal is to be able
to instantly relate to its design and use when you open
its file.
You might have to answer a question over the phone a year
after you complete the project.
