Milne, A. A. - (Attributed) | WIST Quotations

Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up. Widely quoted and attributed to Milne, but I can find no instance of it with an actual, proven citation. Ross Webber in Management: Basic Elements of Managing Organizations (1979)…

#16 Order and disorder.

What do you tend more to create? Ordered life or the magical chaos?

I don't think of myself as having THAT many Legos, but as I gathered just my Technic parts together to sort tonight (and this probably isn't all), I was shocked at how many I have. Boxes of parts seen before and after reorganization.

ORDER BY NULLs Go WHERE?!

ORDER BY with NULLs creates chaos! NULLs can go first or last depending on database. This breaks sorting logic! Watch!

London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 9.1 million people in 2024. Its wider metropolitan area is the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 15.1 million. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the centuries-long host of the national government and parliament. London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. Since the 19th century the name "London" has referred to the metropolis around the City of London, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised the administrative area of Greater London, governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.
