If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened
Zabaven članek o novi knjigi Felixa Dennisa, britanskega založniškega tajkuna:
You’ll be suggesting next that it will improve my sex life.
People who grow rich almost always improve their sex life. More people want to have sex with them. That’s just the way human beings work. Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac. Money did not make me happy. But it definitely improved my sex life.
Five homes. Three estates. Fancy cars. Private jets. (The jets are always rented. If it flies, floats or fornicates, always rent it — it’s cheaper in the long run.)
Tunnel vision helps. Being a bit of a shit helps. A thick skin helps. Stamina is crucial, as is a capacity to work so hard that your best friends mock you, your lovers despair and the rest of your acquaintances watch furtively from the sidelines, half in awe and half in contempt.
Bistvo?
After a lifetime of making money and observing better men and women than me fall by the wayside, I am convinced that fear of failing in the eyes of the world is the single biggest impediment to amassing wealth. Trust me on this.
If you are unwilling to fail, sometimes publicly, and even catastrophically, you stand little chance of ever getting rich.
Še nadvse koristna informacija iz Wikipedie: “Dennis is credited with having been the first person to say the word “cunt” on British television, in 1970.”

Photosynth
Tudi Microsoftovi research labi se občasno spomnijo kake divje: Photosynth številne fotke istega kraja (npr. znamenitosti) glede na podobne elemente zloži v 3D prostor in omogoča sprehajanje skozi tak model, zoomanje detajlov… stvar zgleda hudo. Poglejte si video.

težave z boltonom
Vsem uporabnikom se opravičujem za včerajšnje težave z boltonom. Vzrok za nedelovanje je bil v internetni povezavi do strežnika. Sicer naj bi bil v razvojnih verzijah bolton že deloval neodvisno od strežnika, vendar šele zdaj to res drži. Priporočam zadnjo razvojno verzijo v1.157.
