Third world networkers guide to feeling terrible about a wasted day

its a simple school of thought. - you don't need things, as I don't. You are nothing, as I am. Now don't go preparing the firing squad yet. At least let me explain in two paragraphs.

I spent the whole morning, the most productive time of my day filling and refilling RFP and justification documents to be read by people who won't understand them, who will then explain them to a tender committee that is even more clueless about my technical needs for a very critical tool; which eventually will be sent out; hopefully to clueful vendors.

I felt like walking out right there and then. Out of sight hopefully to never see another word document, or pages, oe excel or numbers.

My future definately won't look like the present. I felt divorced from the fruits of that labor. It was definately not worth it. And since I chose not to walk out or speak up, I am nothing, and so are you...if you've ever felt the same and done nothing !

Third world networkers guide to umm nothing

seriously...nothing, its been busy. One cisco data center exam is throwing me around like a drunk packet. but it's all good fun.....its also coold...too cold to type lengthy posts...that and a couple of things (a few friends ecommerce stuff - i hope they pay me some day:-)) are taking up an already short day.....:-)

Third world networkers view on dealing cards - or dealing with the dealt cards!

My buddy Kevo tried to show me/us how to play poker. He didn't get very far. We were all drunk by the time he started explaining texas hold'em. I hope some day he completes that lesson.

But Im on a different set of cards. Life cards. See In the game thats life I started winning early.Lost some. But a win as seen by me was rarely seen by other people. We all had different cards dealt. I still have a great set of cards - I think. I lost some along the way. Big time.!!

I saw all kinds, related to all manner of people. I did/do feel isolated, sometimes by choice - try the ccie-, a little lonely - maybe, want something better out of life than the cards that had been dealt to me.

We all lose sometimes, I know I do. And so do you. We’re all in it together to try to be a little happier in a world that’s just a little too rough on us. I'd like to be kind against all struggles create art, friends, beauty, happiness.I want to grow things, see change I've created.

It's weird I'm using a farm for life lessons. Weirder still is the amount of things learnt running a farm that are transferable to another startup. In tech this time - that explains the limited posts here.

Im happy the fruits are all grown up....now on to another phase...get them consumed:-) yeah imagine thats what this was all about...fruits:-)

Third world networkers - how to disable annoying Itunes backup on windows

Locate your iTunesPrefs.xml file.

It’s usually located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes or C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes.

make sure that hidden files are visible in the Windows Explorer
  
Backup your iTunesPrefs.xml file
    Open iTunesPrefs.xml using a capable text-editor (e.g. Notepad++, Ultraedit, but not MS Notepad)
    Search for a section called User Preferences and paste the following snippet into the User Preferences Section after the first :

    DeviceBackupsDisabled
   
    dHJ1ZQ==
   

     Save the file and restart iTunes. Backups should now be disabled. 
To enable backups again delete the XML Snippet from iTunesPrefs.xml file.
