August 2008How to seduce people so they vote for you : address their concerns. Obama addresses several key concerns of 2008 : "I do want three things," "I want to end And I believe indeed Americans are concerned by those
So to be successful, just address your client's pain points. A well known sales technique applied at a large scale. Good job, Mr Obama... If you blog often I recommend you to have a look at ScribeFire. It's an excellent FireFox Plugin which helps to write or edit your posts. It allows to include Videos, Links, images in a easy way. It also supports multi-blogs. This week is the week of the DruivenFeetsen in Overijse. Up to now we mainly took the opportunity to go to 2 concerts:
Comment peux-t'on être ambitieux si on compend que à l'échelle de l'Univers, l'Humanité est insignifiante ? Comment peux-t'on penser que le bien ou le mal que l'on fait a du sens ? Comment peux-t'on penser que notre travail mérite autant d'importance ? Pourquoi doit on conserver notre planete alors qu'elle disparaitra avec le soleil dans quelques milliards d'années ? Pourquoi écrire ces lignes qui sont destinées à disparaître de toutes facons. L'énergie de cet Univers doit vraiment avoir envie d'exister... Lately I have hesitated to buy a new kind of device : an Internet Radio. It connects on your WiFi router and plays thousands of radios streams that you can catch on the web. Today I just plug my portable PC into my HiFi system using a mini-jack, but I find the quality is not so good. Therefore I have been looking for better options. Here are some products I find interesting :
For the moment, my favorite Internet Radios are :
I don't know if you have ever had a look at my long CV but it's quiet a long one. I have read in a article (in Bizz I believe) that a good CV should be at the most 3 pages. Therefore I have tried to rewrite my CV in a much shorter format . I have organized it along 5 aspects of my work that I like and that I want to continue to develop during my career:

 Last Weekend we did quiet some cycling in Flanders. On saturday we did the "Limburgse Rivierenland" tour in Halen. It was supposed to be 52 Km. We did 63 and we even did a shortcut at the end. On sunday we went to Herentals and we followed what is called the "EcoCyclo". There the KM were correct and it was 46 Km. We started from Herenthout and we used the following "KnoopPunten " : Herenthout - 45 - 46 - 47 - 9 - 10 - 8 - 15 (Let op: we rijden niet volledig tot aan 15. Neem een kijkje aan de watermolen. Het is een waardevol monument. Daarna keer je terug naar 8.) - 19 - 18 - 14 - Hidrodoe - Van Hidrodoe rijd je terug naar de knooppuntenroute. Sla echter niet af naar links richting knooppunt 14, maar blijf rechtdoor rijden. Volg de pijltjes richting Centrum. - 12 - 60 - 62 - 65 - 66 - 43 - 44 - 45If you search Biking Roads in Belgium I stongly recommend you this website http://www.fietsroute.org/.

Made with Slideshow Embed Tool Moi j'aimais bien skynet pour la météo facile a trouver et facile a lire pour les prévisions à dix jours. Il y avait une colonne bleue à gauche avec toutes les possibilités skynet dont la météo. C'était facile et efficace. Evidement il y a quelqu'un qui a trouvé que c'était mieux de changer. Essayez maintenant d'aller sur http://www.skynet.be/ et trouvez-moi la météo. Bonne chance ! Comme dirait l'autre : "Si je connaissais le con qu'a fait sauter le pont..." Information Architecture is about structuring information to make it easy to find. When it's easy to find products on your website, people will buy more. When it's easy to find information on your Intranet, employees will save time and have the knowledge they need.

Merriam Webster's dictionary defines rainmaker as "a person (such as a partner in a law firm) who brings in new business or whose influence can initiate progress or ensure success." In short, a rainmaker is someone that makes things happen, someone who initiates action that ultimately brings in new business and revenue. Rainmakers take a 'big picture' view of their customers business. Rather than focus on specific IT projects, they look at the overall state of the client's industry, company and LOB. Some characteristics of a rainmaker include the following: pro-active, results-oriented, patient, driven, conscientious, good listener, active listener, empathetic, sympathetic, curious, knowledgeable, engaged, confident, incisive, inquiring, flexible, visionary, creative, positive, optimistic, and collaborative. If you want the artists you like to continue to produce, you have to support them. Here are the 4 latest CDs I have bought :
 Something I found by accident yesterday : Wordle. Wordle draws a tag cloud for you from a text or rss feed.

Have a look here (or click on the image):  The widgets I use are ImageView, Yahoo! Weather, Yahoo! Mail Checker, Gmail Monitor, Digital Clock and Calendar. Today I took pictures without the SD card in my Camera... Result : no picture taken. As for the last World Cup, Mireille and I make our best guesses for the Euro 2008. We both selected 3 teams that we think can win :
