  • Wakeup Call

    Well, it was late in the night again when we finished the day at the Dolphin bar. I missed the first session, and I might have missed the second session as well if these guys in front of my hotel room were not talking so loud about this „freaking cool piece of software called Workplace…

  • ItDoesNotChargeMyPhone

    Received that wunderfull giveaway yesterday, a multicharger that connects to your USB port and has multiple adaptors for cell phones – like my Nokia 9300. So it seemed this is the solution for me. But ItDoesNotChargeMyPhone. Volker, I need your help again.

  • Bad Luck

    Missed my flight in Paris, forgot my camera in Berlin, bought an new one in Atlanta, crashed the camera and can not replace it in Orlando. So what else can happen while traveling to Lotusphere? Yes, Delta lost my luggage on the trip from Atlanta to Orlando. And it does not look like Delta really…

  • iPod Sync Problem

    Since I lost a significant part of my iTunes music library in a crash I am using SharePod. This nice little tools that lets you sync your music back from iPod to your PC without installing any third party tools on your PC – the program itself resides on the iPod. Of course you should…
