Two more days till I start my new job 
It’s a rewinding time. I love it. Here is a drawing I just made.
Pure fun, no serious intentions whatsoever. I like yellow and blue so much, I think it reflects the spring that is almost here. Have fun.

As I’ve said earlier in my posts, this page will make history. Pretty soon we’ll experience new ways of interaction with mass-media. The name will change as well .
Today it marks the end of a long relationship. It’s been five years, one master’s degree, two love stories, two business awards, three art exhibitions, five locations, four teams I’ve worked with, two management styles, 5 bright minds I am glad I’ve met and made my friends.
It was one hell of a job , but now it’s my time to move on.
And I love my future.
P.S. Remember the time? 
I am goood! I am sooo goooood!
While I was having these thoughts on privacy matters (the last 4 posts on surveillance society), Europe was having a two day meeting for setting compulsory changes search engines need to apply in order to reach a normal standard of privacy
Read International Herald Tribune article on this matter.
I was talking to a friend today about web crawlers and he told me that when google was indexing the server, all employees at his former work place were looking anxiously to huge raise in sales 
.
Everyone receives Google these days with lots and lots of love, but will there be a time, when things will be the other way around? When one or some very powerful spiders may be regarded as the sentinels in the Matrix? Is China in this situation already? I know that internet is being censored there, and I reckon censorship might me applied by means of active surveillance over published material on the internet within a certain geoarea.
Internet is here for over 15 years now, right? What is 15 years to humankind history? Piece of cake! Will technology change so Continue reading »
Talking to some friends today about this issue, it hit me that there is a potential need for online “swiss banking accounts” for online processed personal data. You place the sensitive information in the black box, and the end-program that needs authentification takes from there the criptic info, not the real data (real person identification).
Second life is about a virtual world. How about inventing a virtual Switzerland?
the saga continues
What do you think is the first thing I do when entering my blog’s admin panel? The very first thing is to go to the counterize section to see what IP’s have visited me, who is online now and what pages were most visited today… of course, I also get all sorts of statistics from google analytics.
For instance, since the last post, I have received visits from Seattle, Los Angeles and area, New York, Florida, London, Frankfurt, Lebanon, France and Romania. As you can imagine, while most people that visit my blog use automatic ips, they are anonymous to me. But, for some of them, their real identity is obvious from their IP’s. So, this Continue reading »
First of all, I have to say that I do not believe in the conspiracy theory. Anyone who has read Eco’s “Foucault’s Pendulum”, knows why.
Now this being said, today I will share my thoughts on the limitations of privacy policies through internet.
We all know what spam is, right? Someone has stolen your e-mail address (or you have given it to a certain company that sold it to a third party without your consent), and all of a sudden you get all sorts of unsolicited e-mails, like the many ones I receive that try to make me believe my d*ck is not that satisfying to the ladies 
well, he better not be satisfying some other ladies or else …
Oddly enough, I am not bothered by this type of spam. I mean you get my address, Continue reading »
Today I have learnt one very good lesson in life: if I happen to have an insight on my own near future, and I don’t like what I see, than… instead of accepting the despair , I can actually change my future!
It didn’t occur to me to this day that this is why we all have insights so that we can actually do something with them… doh!

Of course I applied this rule on various times in my personal history, but I rarely used it in very important decision I took. I usually made major decisions by accomodating myself to the environment, never by triyng to abruptly change the environment. If I eventually changed it, it was after a very long while, and by almost invisible steps… Today I learnt that I don’t need to wait for so long to make a change for myself.
