First impression with SAP
At a customer site, starting March the 1st, we have to book our hours in a tool called ProTime, based on SAP. My first impression: these guys should go to basic lessons on GUI design. Here is the login mask on my browser. Yes, you see it right: the font is about Arial 5, the [...]
Why it is not the end of the world
Well, we are Saturday 22, and the world did not end. Here is my explanation : 4’000 years ago, a stone-sculptor called Smarty was given a task by Nokopf, his manager: craft a stone agenda valid for the next 6’000 years. being a good worker, and wanting to satisfy his boss, Smarty searched for a [...]
You need Evernote
I have switched over many note-taking systems during the last years, but nothing come close to Evernote. If you don’t have it yet, go ahead, it’s extremely cool and easy to use. There is even a Linux version called Nevernote.
Switching to SIP pays off quickly
I switched over from Swisscom POTS to Netvoip SIP (with phone number porting) end of July. After about 1.5 month, it already pays off : I went from about 50 CHF per month (25.- line subscription plus ~ 25.- calls costs) to about 15.- / month. I can only recommend Netvoip : good voice quality, [...]

Rep. Candice Miller continues to spam non-american citizen with public money
The spams comes from Congresswoman.CandiceMillerE-Newsletter@MAIL.HOUSE.GOV. Your congresswoman is spending tax money to send spam. Besides, she sends spam to Switzerland citizen, which most probably don’t give a dam for what she thinks. Michigan voters are probably in need for another Congresswoman the next time they elect someone.
digitec.ch poor environmental behavior
I ordered my new Canon S100 camera from digitec.ch, mainly because they pretended to have it in stock. Along with the camera, I ordered a second NB-5L battery pack and a Transcend 32 Gb SDHC card. I paid everything in advance with my credit card. So far so good.
