Time for some new stuff

Moving on to exploring Java/JSP once more. Lots of fun to be had.
Let's see where this leads, news soon in any event :-).

L'arnacoeur

Eh oui hop me suis lancée, l'Arnacoeur... il y a deux semaines certainement quelque chose comme ça. Boh. Je dirais que les Cranberries l'ont trop bien chanté pour qu'on puisse l'imiter... "Disappointment".

Un peu plat tout ça...

Dragons, napkins and Steve Jobs's iPad in Time

At first thought I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, then thoroughly enjoyed watching How to train your dragon the film based on "How to train your dragon" by Cassida Cowell.

Not sure what the books are worth. Any clues welcome.

Off to bed for now absolutely shattered. Reading "The back of the napkin" and thoroughly enjoying it!



Already one book late mind you. So, more news about that soon.

Plus, it looks like Time magazine's latest issue is all about the iPad and Steve Jobs.



Must dig in to that fast :).

A couple of films

Went to see Shutter Island yesterday. Not bad I felt, nice cast, good to see Michelle Williams, but a little too predictable for my liking.

I take it the book is better - but it's a little late now I guess to give it a go.

Also, finally got around to watching The Road... what can I say? Simply brilliantly tragic depiction of an apocalyptic world. Let's hope we never get to see anything like it. Definitely one of those films one should see but avoid on dismal days!

The one-minute read

When I saw the title of this book, I simply couldn't resist giving it a peak.

I would say it is was worth the 5-10$ it cost and made for a quick, relatively entertaining read.
The book covers three basic principles to manage anything, from your family, to your work, to your life in general:

1. keep a list of understandable self-contained goals (one-minute objectives)
2. remember to praise yourself and others when things go right (one-minute praises)
3. remember to reprimand yourself and others when things go wrong (one-minute reprimands) BUT, never leave it at that: make sure to remind yourself of what actually *did* go right and that "to err is human, to forgive divine" (thanks Maggie Smith :D)

So... this is where I start rambling on about traveling the US, making it to Canada, Scotland, Ireland and many places more... go girl!! :-)

Thoughts?
