Today we are discontinuing Google Analytics (“GA”) on this site. We have removed the relevant notice and will adjust the privacy policy within 15 days, to match the technology enhancements that grant you greater privacy in ethical ways.

In the context of emergency-response systems and processes requiring resources, there is a concept of “mutual aid.”

One definition of “mutual aid” (from uslegal.com) is:

Another simpler definition:

I’ve recently been working with (and received help from) personnel from other Virginia fire departments. I’m not sure if I can name the departments here, so I won’t. But you all know who you are :-). THANK YOU again for your assistance.

It just so happens that I have a litte familiarity and training with GIS information systems and information management for emergency response and incident command. Please call me at +1-352-505-7885 if you have a disaster-response team that could use a hand.

If you’re a recruiter and you’ve landed here, thank you very much for seeking me out. My best content (which will include professional references) is not yet presentable, but maybe my generalized résumé might be helpful. I can make some amazing solutions happen. If you have a role in ind, please let us know! 🔒

Especially for IT staff augmentation projects, a contract with Dave Tingling and Associates is an outstanding proposition, and features rapid “win-win” solutions for your agency and your Clients. The more difficult the challenge, the better we fit. We’ll be here when you need us! 🔒

PLEASE NOTE: Unless a written and explicit agreement exists, Dave represents himself. Dave Tingling has not authorized or granted permission for any other party to “present” or represent him, and hereby renounces, revokes, and denies all claims made by any party claiming to represent him without an explicit, valid, unexpired written contract, signed by Dave.

We are seeking a strong partnership for legal assistance. Please consider this a communication from a prospective client.

From inventions to injustice, from expatriation to exfiltration (of data), we need your help—as I told an honorable Court—“because I can read.”

Truth, trustworthiness, and integrity seem to be increasingly rare nowadays.

If those qualities are paramount in your practice, and you are willing to follow the truth wherever it may lead you, we definitely should talk. It doesn’t even matter much what your area of specialty is; we are ready for skillful representation when you are. We are not litigious, we just need legal expertise in a range of matters. Please reach out. 🔒.

In case you happen to practice trial and appellate law founded on the U.S. Constitution (such as Federal “civil rights” practice), or you’re a partner of someone who does, please get in touch with me (Dave Tingling) securely and privately here. 🔒Or use +1-352-505-7885, or email, please. If you have a mechanism to accept fully encrypted email, let me know, and I’ll be ready to work with you.

On that note, we could probably advance your practice very well, with some bespoke application of information technologies. Connect at https://engage.davetingling.info/hello/contact.

We have some astonishing stories to share. Maybe no-one really cares, but I would like to test that idea out in partnership with you. The simple reasons these stories have not already been told are due to my personal values and fears. Previous efforts brought us punishment.

Now (nearing 2025), I’m ready to step forward and speak. We are politically neutral and I’m not a “troublemaker,”, but I do believe there’s a proper, correct, and morally responsible way to tell our very important story.

So if you’re a journalist or other news professional, I’d really appreciate your help, please. Consider this is an appeal. Consider getting in touch privately. 🔒

You can also call me on +1-352-505-7885. I’m genuinely looking forward to hearing from you.

Commissioned to design and build a custom, semi-automated framework for back-office tracking of multi-site business activites in construction processes. Stakeholders cancelled before the full integration PoC was ready; well-known old lessons re-learned.

There is a surprising volume of public information available about certain “public service” matters that continue to impact me and my family, since their occurrenc and until this day (2024-11). The surprising aspect is that I “stumbled into” this information by on ordinary search. Sadly, what I found is incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading, and is therefore unfortunately open to misinterpretation and misapplication, causing further harm.

I am beginning to think that I will be forced to clarify and explain the visible, verifiable truth and facts of my story here. If you happen to have reason to be curious, please ask me (+1-352-505-7885), or just visit this site periodically.

Short answer:

You could say I am something of an ethical hacker, formally trained in business systems analysis and engineering practices.

So, I design and deliver “systems” featuring computers to (variously) move information and store data, all for the improvement of a business and its financial bottom-line. Hopefully that helps? If that sounds too abstract, I’d be grateful for an opportunity to explain even more. Let’s talk! 🔒

Longer answer:

I apologize if I don’t seem clear. I’m not intentionally obscure. Maybe I’m using terms that are mostly familiar to typical IT department managers and directors. So (for example), if I mention an “enterprise resource planning” system, or “content management systems” or even simply a “document management system”, this language might be putting you off, because maybe you don’t manage or buy those kinds of “systems”, or maybe you’ve rarely (if ever) had to make business decisions about them, enough to know their distinct terminologies. Even so, you might actually be using these kinds of sytems daily, and maybe—since you’re reading this—perhaps your systems could be harnessed and/or improved in some ways you hadn’t imagined.

• My services help IT departments and software teams to perform better, and to serve their stakeholders more effectively.
• If you don’t have an IT department, we can fill that role (and/or help you decide on workable options for your organization). To learn more, please give us a call at +1-352-505-7885, or or drop us a line privately—we’d love to talk! 🔒

Unbelievable. First it was Twitter, shutting our account down without any reasonable explanation or warning. Then Facebook (or “Meta”, or whatever they wish to be called these days) acted similarly. Our page sat there for at least a decade (since 2012: https://www.facebook.com/systems.architect), not bothering anyone, and not violating any policy that I could learn of. Apparently, Facebook has done this to other small business owners too. If you were affected, we would love to hear from you. If your business was affected, we would love to hear your experiences. Maybe we can even help.

I guess they found it to too hard to offer us some kind of courtesy notice first, maybe with some brief explanation of whatever policy they beleived we may have been violating.

In case you missed it, our privacy policy is here: http://get.davetingling.info/published/on/Privacy. We do not use or sell your information.

Information Collection

Streamlines Information Systems LLC (hereafter, “Streamlines”), a Florida corporation, is the sole owner of any information collected via get.davetingling.info. That said, we do not collect any personally identifiable information on (or by) the get.davetingling.info website.

Registration

As a visitor to our site, you can certainly browse without providing any personal information.

We do not collect or try to keep demographic information about you (such as income level and gender), nor do we engage in “content profiling.” We do not try to “personalize” your experience of our website unless you explicitly request such a focused service under a Service Level Agreement (SLA).

We do not issue newsletters, updates, reminders, or any sort of automatic soliciting communication from our website if you register. We will try to contact you by email if, and only if, you request a password reset or other information from our site. We will also advise you by email if there are certain system outages, scheduled maintenance, or other critical service advisories related to your SLA. We take strict measures to ensure this remains true.

Again, we do not collect personally identifiable information from you at any point on our website, and neither do any related business entities.

When you use this site and our services, we may collect certain information about your computer to facilitate and evaluate your use of the site and the services. For example, we may log environment variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, referring or exit Web pages, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. Streamlines might use such information to measure traffic patterns on our site and the frequency of usage of our services. We do not match such information with any other information held by Streamlines unless we have your express consent. We do not use any method whatsoever to connect page impressions or to determine which [if any] pages of our site are viewed by you personally.

Service Requests

If you choose to retain our services, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our Service Request form. In order to complete and validate a service request, you must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping / location address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).

We use this information to bill your credit card, for other billing data acquisition purposes (but not for credit checks), to respond to your general requests, and to fulfill your requests for service. If we have trouble processing a request, we will use this information to contact you in person, usually by telephone.

Again, information necessary to provide you with your requested service is collected and retained by our company. The preferred collection method is verbal only, and this information is not stored on our websites, server networks, or on get.davetingling.info. During the course of our personal service as business consultants, we may come across especially sensitive data, proprietary information, plans, concepts, and your general intellectual property. Please see the terms of your SLA and/or service agreement, which details how we handle this data. Notice that passwords, access control lists (ACLs), your employee data, and so on, are never stored on get.davetingling.info or on any of our publicly accessible computers or computer networks.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Although the function is not available at this time, if you should apply for a Service Level Agreement (SLA) via get.davetingling.info, we require that you provide certain personally identifiable information, including your name, business address, phone number, and credit card number. This information is necessary to process your application and to contact you.

We require your credit card data to provide various technology services to you. Generally, we prefer to receive this information from you in conversation by telephone. If you choose to enter your credit card data on our SLA application form or on forms related to your service requests and schedule, we encrypt it using advanced secure socket layer technology (SSL). The information is never stored on our servers for any period longer than required to authenticate the transaction—often just a few seconds. Thereafter, the information is not stored on any of our networked computer systems anywhere in the world.

By using this Site and our services, you agree and acknowledge that information collected through get.davetingling.info or in connection with services may be transferred across national boundaries and stored and processed in any country in which Streamlines maintains servers, including the United States.

You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transfer, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted technology contractors.

Such third parties are bound by contract with Streamlines not to use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible, and the pages are hosted for Streamlines by such third parties. For example, on the sign up pages for certain services, the pages may be hosted by a third party vendor, but appear to be within the domain namespace under our control, i.e. “davetingling.info.” Such pages are also governed by (and are compliant with) this privacy policy.

Referrals

Occasionally, we will offer a referral service and rewards program on get.davetingling.info. If you choose to use our referral service (by clicking a link and a completing a brief form) to tell a friend about our website, we will ask you for your colleague’s email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Streamlines does not store this information. It is used only for the purpose of sending this one-time email and for tracking the success and rewards of our referral program.

Your friend may contact us using the contact information provided herein or via the contact form on the website, get.davetingling.info to request that we remove this information from our database.

Uses of Information

As at November 15, 2011, we use the information described above either:

whichever is the later (or more recently signed) document.

Communications from the Site

At this time, we do not send any special offers or invitations from our website. We do not email or text anyone about products, services, special deals, promotions or deals.

Newsletters

We do not engage in a “newsletter” program. You will not receive a newsletter from us, nor from any affiliates.

Service-related Announcements

We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email.

In general, you cannot opt-out of these service-related communications, as part of our Service Level Agreement(s). These communications are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

Customer Service

Based on any personally identifiable information you explicitly provide us, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.

Profile

We store information that we collect through one (1) cookie, log files, and other technologies generated by our own site and servers, but not those from third party sources. With this information, we maintain a “profile” of your preferences. We do not tie your personally identifiable information, and or your service request history, to the information in the profile. That is, we do not tailor promotions and marketing offers (neither ours nor those of any third parties) to improve or modify advertising content on our site based on your historical behavior or activities.

We do not share your profile with third parties—not even in aggregate form, and we are especially careful that if this information can be garnered from our site by malicious means, your personally identifiable information cannot.

Supplementation of Information

In order to provide certain services such as a “console” displaying feedback about your systems on this website, we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submitted to us with information from third party sources. These would be consultants who have provided us with data about your systems or computer network.

Enhancement of Profile Information

We do not purchase marketing data from third parties and add it to our existing user database.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)

We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with Google. This information does not identify individual users.

We do not link aggregate user data with any personally identifiable information.

Personally identifiable information:

We DO NOT share personally identifiable information with third parties.

Agents

We use external shipping companies to fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. The information you provide to use may be shared with these agents in a “just-in-time” or “on-demand” manner, in order to deliver the service you requested. To the best of our knowledge and based on our agreements with these agents at this time, these companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any purposes, other than to fulfill your delivery or payment settlement. If you have concerns or questions about these, please contact us.

Service Providers

We may use trusted third parties such to provide search services on get.davetingling.info. When you register or sign up for any of our services, we do not knowingly share any information about you, your computer, or your browsing habits with the search provider, or with any other third party. As of today, no information exchange is necessary between you any other third party, to provide you with services on our website.

Web service third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any purpose whatsoever.

Other Third Parties

No other agencies, service providers, individuals, companies or entities are privy to the information that we collect from you on this website. If we engage or contract with other entities to handle your information, we promise to advise you either in writing by mail (if you are a SLA holder) or by a prominent notice on the front page of our website for 30 days after such parties become engaged.

Legal Disclaimer

We reserve the right to disclose any personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.

Choice/Opt-out

We provide you the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, if and when we ask for this information. For example, if you request our service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our service request form(s).

If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving any communications from us, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in your Service Level Agreement, or by advising us of your wish using the contact information at the end of this form.

You will be notified as soon as possible if your personal information is to be collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.

Log Files

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data.

At this time, we do not use this information except for performance enhancements and optimization of our own servers and services. We reserve the right to use this impersonal information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. IP addresses are tied to your geographic location, and IP header information identifies your computer.

We do not use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to get.davetingling.info in the aggregate such as page impressions and time of day statistics to analyze our own site and it’s security.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. From time to time, we may notify you and use certain cookies on this site, but we do not link any information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submitted (knowingly or unknowingly) while using our site at “davetingling.info”.

We use session ID cookies, but not persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate get.davetingling.info. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser.

The security of your personal information is important to us. If we request sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect any personal information you submit to us, both during its transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.

Anyone interested purely in the science and art involving the representation and transmission of information can learn valuable technical lessons from the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses: jw.org. Religious views aside, the content management and distribution system is nothing short of astonishing.

The simple-looking interface is deceptive. From the landing page, a user can access identical textual messages in over 1,052 human languages—representing vastly disparate character systems. These are accurately encoded and rendered to your browser without requiring plugins or extensions. Similar feats are accomplished with video content, synchronized media streams, and translated audio.

The mind-blowing aspect is that no-one is paid to provide or deliver this system. This, I would venture to say, is worth a closer look.

We are not currently subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

By default, we protect every Client’s data, honoring the deep trust our Clients place in us, to provide and/or manage their business information systems. Additonally, we hold binding non-disclosure agreements with partners.

Each Client is a “Data Controller” under multiple data protection laws. Our professional services abide by such laws, and we work to ensure that the Client(s) always retain soverignty over his/her/their data.

If you are not (and have never been) our Client and you seek any disclosure whatsoever regarding our Clients(s), their identities, their activites, or inferrable activites as may or may not be recorded within our systems, please note:

• It is our practice to promptly notify our Clients of any incoming requests for their data, unless we are explicitly prohibited from notifying the Client by applicable law.
• You will need to produce a subpoena, court order, or similar compelling writ from a governing authority or law-enforcement agency of relevant jurisdiction—in order for us to provide you specific records.

If you are (or once were) a Client, questions and requests regarding our management of your data are very welcome.

For fastest response, we encourage you email admin[AT]the-federation.io. You may FAX us at 352-505-7886, and postal addresses for written correspondence are also on this page.

Article moved to archives. I’m no longer inviting these calls, anyway. Bottom-line, I had said:

It just so happens that I have a litte familiarity and training with GIS information systems…information management for emergency response, and incident command. Please call me at +1-352-505-7885 if you have a disaster-response team that could use a hand.

I have a few FEMA certifications and “resource-type” designations lying around somewhere, but I can’t recall what they are, right now. Drop me a line 🔒 if you’re interested.

Especially for volunteer fire-rescue agencies, I would like to personally extend private help (outside of my work-hours of course), perhaps most often by way of technology integration guidance and advice. There are also some technology management tools and data-management techniques that I might share, depending on your department’s situation.

Please watch this space for a more complete description of some personal emergency-response technical resources that I might be able to share.

In the interim, please consider NIST Special Publication 1174 regarding applying technology to the practice of fire and emergency response. It is a little bit dated, but without a doubt, still very relevant and informative for some agencies.

I’ll look forward to hearing from you. 🔒
