TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>I'm jealous. A lot of what I do is produced on very tight deadlines --
often tight enough to qualify for "off the top of >your head."
I have also been tasked with this kind of writing, at most companies where I
have worked. I guess they do it because they know that I can.
Recently, I received an email as I was leaving, "P1 coming in..." This is
equivalent to the call of "Incoming..." during a war -- everyone ducks and
runs to their stations. The engineers worked until midnight to put together
a bug fix (uh..a release, in politically-correct speech). I came in at 7:00
AM and had until 10:30 AM to put together the docs. I enjoyed it...I thrive
on stress!
