GTD and all things nice

Stambord feb. 2009

We had a wonderful night with all the danes in the DABGO group. There were almost 40 danes attending at Ron Blacks in Dublin. This was the first time for a “Stambord” in Ireland, so I was very proud seeing so many danes attending and having a good time, the “stambord” ended just before midnight.

There were an introduction of DABGO, the Danish embassy in Ireland and a company introduction of NNEPharmaplan, who also sponsored the first drink of the night, thereby kick starting the good vibes and vivid discussions that took place.

I will be looking forward to the next “stambord” on the 4th of March

The first DABGO “Stambord” in Ireland is on the 4th of feburary @ Ron Blacks on Dawson Street in Dublin.

If you are Danish and living in Dublin (or just visiting)  please Join us for a festive night.

Please e-mail your attendance to martin (at) dabgo dot net (you know how to translate the information)

I hope to see you there.

if you look at the YouTube video of Madonna, which at the time of writing has had more than 740 thousand views and more than 560 comments.

There are a lot of malicious comments and a huge discussion over Her using playback

Here is a comment from carlotapuig on YouTube

People go into coffee shop to have coffee and use their wireless access, so how can you combine this in you marketing ? Well one coffee shop, decide to name their access point SSID’s with special offers - so an access point could be called “TodaysSpecialEspresso1,60euro”. This also makes it fun when customers ask for the wireless id, then the the employee can say “TodaysSpecialEspresso1,60euro”

Services like “Stickit” and “I want Sandy”, which is used by many people, is closing their service by the 8th of December 2008. This is due to the fact that the owner has been hired for a position at Twitter (who also has acquired the products technology)

This leaves the customers/users hanging high and dry, because there are not that many services out there to replace the service and you will also have to spend quite some time converting your information into a new format, which is terrible, since the service were are made to enhance your productivity.

There have also been an outrage from the community, not so much that the service is closing, but the 14 days of notice (I do not hope anybody of their users are on vacation right now)

Here are some comment:

I’m so glad that we were all able to contribute so much value to you so that you could be acquired, and shut down that which we contributed so much value. Thanks for nothing.

2 weeks notice? Are you kidding me? And, what, you’re relying on people to stumble across this notification on this one website, while the Sandy emails say nothing (and you’re still accepting sign-ups). Look, Sandy is/was a great service, but as someone who caries a “CEO” title, your customer relationship skills need some polish…

Take a look at this amazing picture, where everything is made out of food (hence the name foodscapes) - Carl Warner sells this pictures on his website, where he also displays work from other genres. But it is impressive, if you take a look at the details, you will find that everything is made from food - Take an extra look.

This is in my opinion one of the most inspiring website out there, because it keeps you updated and informed on what is going on in the GTD space and also throws in a couple of oddities, which is very cool.
