Stop being sad

When I get sad I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Skype sucks big time

Skype sucks in instant messaging. No real offline messages support? Come on, it’s 2008 and even P2P system can have this. Supernodes can store messages waiting for delivery. And Skype still uses own servers for authorization so why not use them for offline messaging? Public chats are sometimes messed with some crazy logs from the past and the messages are not even ordered by timestamps! Huh? Come on, eBay you payed $1.3 billion for this in 2005 maybe you can hire someone who knows how to sort by timestamps?

P.S. Skype 4.0 for windows is just showing that this thing is going straight to the software hell. Microsoft Bob is waiting for you there, Skypee.

So, Peter, what’s happening?

Aahh, now, are you going to go ahead and have those TPS reports for us this afternoon?
