The libriaran. A great movie.

.

Hilarious Telephony advertisement.

I think Skype should make one with James T. Kirk from the Enterprise with a slogan like «I will Skype you!» (cfr. the original smyte/smite you or sth. like that). And Yappernut could make one with Scotty talking to his mouse. It’s really possible now.

Any money left in the 2.6. billion for a good visual add ?

Remember the Verizon add with «Can you hear me now (if you can’t listen to scolding don’t download it)» ? Got it from somebody. Thanks.

Computers and Internet are as dangerous as Nuclear Energy and Atomic bombs.

 Wisdom of the day (or rather statement) : computer and software-solutions will always do more than what you want them to do; therefore the are in combination with the internet the ultimate uncontrollable pest on the world.

 I have always believed that computers, the internet, certain softwares are worse and certainly more dangerous inventions than the Atomic Bomb or Nuclear Energy if not controlled properly. You could even omit “if not controlled properly”. It cannot be controlled. It will just happen.

Skype Support Scenario ? Where do you want your problems to go today ?

I am not judging (who would I be to do such things…) the support of skype. But successful software implementations in companies are not done by the users. Well trained installers will be crucial to safely implement skype into certain environments. I have earlier installed skype in a company about 50/75 users (scattered over the earth) and honestly, on the level of support, it did not give me much problems. The biggest problems were the sound-settings an explaining the users how to use the system. Without support, it’s a risky business and that goes for any software-solution. I am sure many users (after any software ordeal) feel like this :

 

I have seen it about 1000 times by now. “I have installed everything, but nothing works..”

The phone rings and the person takes the phone. Hello?

These scenario’s are mostly followed by great frustration and anger… It’s like working on the help-desk… The question is not like Microsoft says :‘Where do you want to go today ?” but it is “Where do you want your problems to go today?”.

Take a look at the movie. It’s really funny.

The Rebel Billionaire.

 How I like this new program of Richard Branson in comparison to Donald Trump his Apprentice. Totally different style. One of them is full of prejudice and looking down to the others  who have not this and that. I am sure you know what I am talking about. I know what I am talking about, having worked with many rich people who think money rules the world. Wrong ! Knowledge does. So, start paying.I once worked in a company where somebody said that the monkey were being replace with apes. Well, so far in my professional life that is about the most stupid thing I have ever heard. You just don’t say something like that about people. Let’s also not forget : there are always gorilla’s ready to replace the apes. The shit with some humans is that they will think they are so powerful and therefore they forgetten how tiny they actually are. In IBM I had these thoughts, the ones that talked most, said actually nothing. Lot’s of words but no intelligence. It always strikes that people who say “no criticism please, just do what I says are those who needs most help getting things done. I believe that solutions have to be critized before launched especially in IT.

The aliens are coming.

and they have landed. At least in the movie "War of the Worlds". It made me think about those first movies on the potential attack of Marsians... The funny thing is that these attacks were mostly supposed to happen in America.

The movie has great sci-fi-effects, and in the end the family-values are victorious over the evil alien attempt to take over the world.

Saved again by America and belief in the family. What a joke. But still a very nice movie.

Star Wars. Revenge of the Sith.

Voila. Een goede film, die het begin van de vorige series aankondigt. Een soort "Back to the Future" - scenario ... of het zijn allemaal verhalen stand-alone ? 

Nu is het gewoon nog even wachten op Episode IV. Tijd dat ik mijn dvd's weer eens klasseer. Ter info : mijn haarstijl was vroeger ook zoals Anakin.

Instinct.

Very nice movie with Anthony Hopkins. In my opinion a movie on certain values in life that industrialized people have left behind.

Monthy Python.

Toch maar weer voor mezelf wat dvd's gekocht. Life of Brian, The Meaning of Life en Battlestar Gallactica. Ik beschouw dat als verzamel-objecten.

Dan ook nog een externe USB-drive voor mijn computer-backup en nog een uur staan wachten aan de sony repair-shop (anothel 10 minutes... 6 x keer jawel) om de cover/keypad van mijn gsm te vervangen.

Voor de rest aan het studeren op Windows Server 2003.
