Skype chat sound

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Everyone who has been using chat in Skype knows the sound the program makes to get your attention when you’re having another application active (focused / on top) and a new chat message comes in the Skype chat window…’zuwob’.

I learned today that this sound is matching the plopping sound that you hear when you’re taking a shower, washing your face and moving your hands from your face over your ears to the back of your head…don’t ask, indeed, I learned it doing exactly that! 😉

Try it!

Hotels and WiFi

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Being a hotel junkie this week (will be in three different hotels in four days), so my internet presence has been depending on WiFi availability in the first two hotels (Geneva and Brussels). Both hotels were not elite, but certainly not cheap (EUR 200 and EUR 150 per night!). I can’t understand that even in 2008 these type of hotels still don’t include free WiFi as part of their standard service (hey, they provide a hot shower too, right? ;))…it’s not about the money (well, EUR 3,50 per 30 mins in the NH Hoteles in Geneva and EUR 10,- in the IBIS in Brussels ain’t all that cheap if you ask me), but it’s just inconvenient (leaving your room to buy these scratch-cards, etc.)…sjeez guys, wake up in the new era and fix it!!

A new iPhone, 16Gb

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Damn! That was my first reaction when I read this article on macnn/ipodnn today: Apple launches 16GB iPhone. Having my iPhone for just a week that felt badbadbad up to the moment I found out that the price for this model is up $100.-, pfewww!

8Gb is actually enough for me (I still have my 60Gb iPod ;))…so I wouldn’t have paid the premium for the new model anyway.

Busy building a team

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Being on the road the whole day, working my ass off and uhhmmm, actually loving it, leaves me without internet access for most of the day…still a bit of time to let y’all know I’m alive!

It’s time to build a team and have a good time though…the moment is NOW!

Rainer Maria Rilke: “Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty… Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words.”
