by Vasil KolevI sometimes really feel like all marketroids have some brain damage. Ladies and gentlemen, stop thinking I’m an idiot, you’re only annoying me and in some cases – turning me away from your services. If I’m asking for stats for your downtime this means that 1) I know enough about that so it would be hard for you to lie to me and 2) where the hell in my signature in the email is written that I’m retarded and you’ll be able to wave it away with some explanations about new lines? Give me the data and if I have any questions, I’ll call …
The same way some marketroids were annoying the hell out of me trying to paper out around something and then brought me into a datacenter which smelled moist too much. FFS…
But, it’s really satisfying to talk to them about their competition. They get foam around the mouth, a lot of dirty details can be learnt and at some points when I tell them prices I got offered, I can see them hurting in their heart. What else should they expect, when they’re fucking with me?:)
(one colleague that talks a lot more with such persons is far more evil. We all love listening to him talk with them, especially with BTC)
I discovered the paying with distortion. When you play something like it should be, for example Forty Six & 2 by Tool with flanger, it’s nice and makes you play it a bit more. When you add distortion, it gives you power and willingness to tear the strings. I don’t even want to mention how it also amplifies a lot and tries to blow the speakers.
“Choke” by Palahniuk is, as usual, great book in his typical style, maybe one of his more rude ones gross ones (a bit like Guts). If at some point I finally make a list of really favourite authors, Palahniuk will be somewhere in the beginning.
I’ve started reading “The gone-away world” by Nick Harkaway – I’m at the middle and the book is pretty good, it has some of the descriptional style of Neal Stephenson, something I definitely like.
The Blue coalition have published their program, from which the Greens can learn a lot. Clear, precise, logical – as it should be. It’s pretty obvious it was written by people that know their job and don’t just think up strange things like Bogomil – that if the Greens come to power (which, honestly, is impossible), will just be working for maximal citizen involvement in everything. This is a clear stupidity – like fighting to have everyone to be able to be a surgeon and cut left and right. As the users don’t support their own server, that way for a lot of things you need experts that do their job (with the needed degree of control and feedback, which is the thing missing here). To use “extending the citizen’s involvement in the government” as an excuse for the lack of program is retarded – not naive, just stupid. Seriously, if the people that did this aren’t clinical cases, I want to know where do they buy their drugs…
(heh, it’s also written there directly, “don’t expect for the green party to take the government in a country” – thank you, oh god of the atheists)
I thought about voting for the Greens for some of the elections but I think I’ve decided not to.
