Quote: On Teams

Δημήτρης Γλέζος — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:57:23 +0000

“I enjoy a working environment where the word ‘team’ is uttered in derision, and view the process of team or community as a result of mutual respect and enlightened self interest as opposed to a management method where fuzzy feelings are elicited to get the benefits and delegate the blame.” (comment by dkite on LWN article)

Calling to Greek landline phones (both in-town and country-wide) is cheaper with Skype than Forthnet. Yay for N900 handling all my local calls then.

Greetings.

“To the past, or to the future. To an age when thought is free. From the Age of Big Brother, from the Age of the Thought Police, from a dead man… greetings.” (1984)

Coffee bean tanning

It seems my coffee beans are getting sour more quickly in the summer. More quickly than what I expected, I guess.
