As some of you might know, I take regular pictures of who is sitting in front of my PC. Here is a little video I made of all the shots.

Cloud Computing

My view of the word cloud computing:

CTO = Chief Technical Officer

How much money can I make with my domain

I just had a look at http://www.thenetinfo.com and that tells me that my domain is worth:

Ribalba.de Estimated Worth $88 USD

Wtf. Who would give me that money. Really. And all the other sites I tried it just doesn't give you any info at all. Ahh wait

Stallman.org Estimated Worth $5.8 Thousand USD

and

Microsoft.org Estimated Worth $292 USD

So really who would belive such a thing?

And another email address

I am collecting email addresses. I have 8 different locations emails goto and then 25 different forwards to one of the 8. But one of the coolest address I have so far is:

which of course is just a forward but still quite funky

Hahah

I was at HAR and of course I was drunk and then this happened:

I will not be going to LA

I applied for a ticket for Michael Jackson's funeral. But today I got

Thank you for your registration.

Sorry, we regret to inform you that your registration to attend the Public Memorial Service for Michael Jackson was not selected.

Hundreds of thousands registered, but only a few can be in attendance.

TV it is

Horrible ad

I was just watching the news and then I saw this ad:

http://www.bsa.org/flash/leads/leads.swf

A rough translation is:
Man: "You know, overtime is a part of your job"
Woman: "But you could at least say thank you"

Man: "You didn't work THAT good"
Woman "what, 20% more trade is nothing?"

Man: "In this economic downturn you should be happy that you still have a job"

Woman: "You too, the software is not even legal"

Person: "There are good reasons to report illegal software"

How can people air this? So basically, if you are not happy with your boss tell on him. That will really make you keep your job. Because if your company is doing bad, because it has to pay a massive settlement you will really get that raise. FFS did those people not go to school. But I suppose the people from the BSA are too stupid to realise what they are doing. But of course the software companies might go out of business if they don't get any money, but don't do it like this. I would really like to talk to one of these people.

Mailing list error

For the last day I was complaining about that I could not post on the libdbook mailing list. I could not figure out why. But this morning it became clear to me. I had changed the default send-to in my gmail. The libdbook mailing list didn't know that mail and didn't let me post. DAAAAAA. It didn't help that the list didn't reply with "unknown email", it send a "list not found" error. So it is not that easy to change your email.

Ulrich Drepper about Stallman

I knew that Ulrich and Stallman didn't get along but this email is a must read: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-announce/2001/msg00000.html

My personal favorites are:

The only difference is that Stallman now has no right to complain anymore since the SC he wanted acknowledged the status quo. I hope he will now shut up forever.

The morale of this is that people will hopefully realize what a
control freak and raging manic Stallman is. Don't trust him. As soon
as something isn't in line with his view he'll stab you in the back.
*NEVER* voluntarily put a project you work on under the GNU umbrella
since this means in Stallman's opinion that he has the right to make
decisions for the project.

When I started porting glibc 1.09 to Linux (which
eventually became glibc 2.0) Stallman threatened me and tried to force
me to contribute rather to the work on the Hurd. Work on Linux would
be counter-productive to the Free Software course.

This part has a morale, too, and it is almost the same: don't trust
this person. Read the licenses carefully and rip out parts which give
Stallman any possibility to influence your future.

I cannot see this repeating, though. Despite what Stallman believes,
maintaining a GNU project is *NOT* a privilege. It's a burden, and
the bigger the project the bigger the burden.

Something I got in the mail ;)

GNU coreutils funny

Just had a look at the basename man page and found this:

AUTHOR
      Written by FIXME unknown.

But they still claim to have the Copyright. Funny maybe the original author didn't approve with this.

My word was accepted

When talking about c (as in programming) you normally hear happyland for undefined memory. So I decided to submit one of my favorite terms to the urban dictionary.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pointer%20in%20happyland

Some people claim I came up with this term. Patent pending ;)

How people think my life looks like

To start with I kind of enjoyed being a participant. Especially with the horrible web page it was lots of fun because I could really shit about those stupid idiots who did the page. Probably they even call themselves IT/Web page experts. Those stupid people should be sent to the U.S.A.

Apart from that the web page is defiantly difficult to use for disabled people and women, especially the blonde ones with big breasts (even so I like them around me ).

But apart from a few things they are just useless as the web page is a well. Now one could think that those two would match perfectly but how I explained before they don't.

While I was testing the web page I drank a lot of tea, coffee and beer, which was probably the most enjoyable part as it usually is in life and not to forget the blond ladies out there.

Well what else can I say. The testing took me quite long because I had spent a lot of time on the toilet the weeks. First a will because the new FHM was really interesting and had lots of those “paticular women in it and I ate some bad bacon that one day.

What more to say :)

One day, a huge computer hardware and software conference is held. Engineers from all the big companies are there. During the lunch break, three engineers all head to the rest rooms.

The first one walks in, takes a leak, and then proceeds to wash his hands. After washing them, he goes over to the paper dispenser, and takes reams and reams of paper. He then spends the next 10 minutes drying his hands, until there is no moisture left. As he walks out, he says to the others waiting, "At Microsoft, we're very thorough."

The next man walks in, takes a leak, then washes his hands. He then takes only 1 sheet of paper towel. He then dries his hands, making sure that he dries every single drop of water, using only one sheet of paper towel. After every single molecule of paper towel is soaked, and his hands are completely dry, he walks out, commenting that, "At Intel, we're thorough, and efficient."

Finally, the third engineer walks in, takes a leak, and then walks straight out again, saying, "At Sun, we don't piss on our hands."
