Glengarry Glen Ross rules!
What a refreshing way to start my morning, but to read about sales strategies, and at that, the oldest one in the book: ABC – Always Be Closing! (This of course is from the Glengarry Glen Ross movie or theatre play – I’ve seen both…) Reading it on Brendon Connelly’s Slacker Manager blog made me…

One feature I love in linux are those symbolic links. I just can’t get enough. I put’em all over the place to simply my life. Up until today, I’d been looking to do the same in Windows XP, without too much success. The fact is this is not new news to hardcore Windows dudes/dudettes. This…
Lire la suiteTreo 650 on order
Well, after months of drooling over the thing, I finally had a good reason to make the move; my Sony Clie T665C is hardly usable anymore, due to the wear and tear it received over the 3.5 years I’ve had it. The writing area is pretty much non-responsive, the digitizer keeps losing focus and running…

I’ve just taken another step to living on the edge by moving my feed reading to the edge. I’ve used Gregarius to move my feed-reading to my personal domain where I’ve uploaded both my home’s iMac feedlist (using NetNewsWire Lite) and my work environment (using RSS Bandit), minus my internal IBM w3 feeds. Like my…

It’s been a very busy months. Personal projects at home, ibm projects at the office. Many things to set in place early in the year, so that I can breathe a little easier later. Q1 at IBM is always so much about planning and executing, which is a difficult balance to achieve. I’m still very…

When you get a 0.1 upgrade, you typically expect a few bug and or security fixes. Not this time! Scuttle 0.7.1 finally offers a revamped css theme, as well as replacing the alphanumeric listing of tags with a nicely rendered tagcloud. It’s simplistic, but works well. This software finally lets me combine both private and…

Today, you’d have a hard time launching a new website, web applications, widget or whatever else without a blog. It seems that every day, I read about this new AJAX app that’s coming out soon, but in the meantime, be sure to check our blog at aiche-tee-tee-pee-colon-slash-slash-whatever. Nothing wrong with that. I just thought it…
Lire la suiteDid I mention I’d be away?
I don’t think I’ve mentionned leaving on vacation, so I thought I’d let you all know so you don’t think the RSS feed is broken or something. I’m on Day 4 of our family vacation, and don’t plan on updating the Life in Technical Sales blog until I return, in another week or so. I’m…
Lire la suiteUsing the Thinkpad UltraBay in Linux: Part 2
I’m currently running on RHEL4. Any other linux distro/version could affect if the following works or not.. In /etc/fstab make sure to comment out the the cdrom/cdrecorder line with ‘#’ add this line for the 2nd HDD: \\dev\\hdc _ ddrive _ ext3 _ defaults _ 1_2 (since everything in the right ultrabay is called /dev/hdc)…
