Nanani Nanana… I want to read about YOU. In french.
That’s what Anna told me.
She said “Your blog is boring. It’s about internet stuff, and I don’t care about that. I’d like you to talk about your chicks and your life. Preferrably in french.”
Yup. It’s true that most of the traffic I get are for my french posts.It’s true that most of the people I [...]
Isolated
Alone in my apartment.The only windows I see, is the one showing a scary outside. With “Trees”.I have put some cheese on my door to find a working mouse.
My eyes are going into screensaver and I find it hard to switch to the wireless network.
Saturday, my computer crashed.Windows not starting. Fear of data loss.Could not [...]
Dealing with nights and week-ends
JB is getting married in 2010.Jose found a new girlfriend.Robin has moved in with his girlfriend.Hyung-Jo has had his first baby quite some time now.

eBook-o-limia
I counted the number of ebooks I read this week.It’s about 15-20.
You will say:“Where did you find the time?”“Where do you find them?”“Do you really read them?”

Mapping your life helps storytelling for self promotion

Did not work as planned. Some groups were [...]

The use of proven openers to meet people
When you try to meet people, at various occasions – including picking up girls, you have got to say something first.
Apart from Chuck Norris, whose pick-up line is “NOW”, mortals like me have to settle for something that is somewhat more indirect.
I remember I used to collect pick-up lines because they were fun:-My name is [...]
We are value-driven robots.
Yup.I realized it some time ago.
Saying that everyone is different would be a truism.Saying that people have different values would be a truism as well.
Naturally, as I am telling that to you, you feel that you have experienced that before.You remember those neverending arguments about something that did not even came close to what you [...]
Getting customers: rules that will not help you
Yup.That’s business. Marketing is all about selling.If you don’t sell, you don’t have a business.
So, you will hear: “Think about the customers!”First rule that will never help you:Just focus on the first customer. Once you did that, think about the next one. Restart the process.

Second rule:Think about your added [...]
