the results of my pulp fiction test:
You’re cautious, a bit paranoid. You left the scene for the suburban married life, but somehow, touble seems to follow you and piss on your mornings. You are quick to share your point of view, but have no problems with giving in to the requests of wives and wolves. Take the What Pulp Fiction Character Are You? quiz. |
seems about right… 😉
here is a story, why backing up your data makes A LOT OF SENSE:
not only did this entry remind me of it, but also the following episode: by mistake (stupid, stupid, stupid!), i deleted one of my mailboxes in the mail.app which resulted in the loss of all sent emails of the past year(s?), all in all 52mb.
now, why do i know how much (52mb) i lost, you will ask yourself? well, because i made a backup just prior to erasing it (well, actually two days ago) and i therefore was able to recover all of this loss without a problem! due to the nature of my setup, found here (don’t click, it’s not there yet!), i was even able to recover this within the hour!
thus my recommendation: backup, backup, backup! you don’t have to do it daily but every other day or at least once a week is the absolute minimum!
and it hasn’t been the first time, i’m glad i’m using a good backup system and setup!
interesting piece of advice:Seth’s Blog: The top 1,000 things to know (the first entry has the first 20 things).
i will keep them in my mind when “teaching” jacob…
now it happened to our website as well: we have been officially “comment spammed”! yesterday evening some weirdo (probably some bot) left around 20 comments. nothing bad (weird quotes) but annoying! the links to the website didn’t even work!
why would anyone want to do that?
this is really stupid!
after a long night (finally got to bed at 4:30), i’m now sitting at the food & beverage conference and blogging these lines via the wifi network of the marriott hotel.
i’m sitting at the vienna international airport and have 3 hours to kill. my flight to moscow is delayed and instead of arriving at 0:45 in the morning, i’m now schedule to land at 3am. what a nightmare!
but the good thing is: VIE has free access to WiFi and so i can read emails, blogs and catch up on all the open webpages i’ve been keeping in safari.
an article about the two societies in the US. it is really fascinating how this society is changing and especially how different it is from europe.

it looks great!
it’s not official yet but as some kerry supporters are saying: it makes no sense for kerry to draw this out even further…
i cannot believe that bush won a second term. he is by far worse than his father! and bush sr. only got one term…
i really feel bad for the US because, i fear, the worst is yet to come… (and the world will suffer as a consequence)
🙁
Why? (go read it, it’s depressing…)
