Open Company Vol III

I´ve thought a lot about it in the last year but never executed: creating an open company. Now I´ve found the businessexperiment.com and I wonder if they will be able to do it. From the „about“: The Business Experiment is a site meant to explore three concepts: wisdom of crowds, open-source business, and the distributed…

Netgear Overheating Crap Shit

Sorry being so rude, but the temperatures at the moment are killing netgear routers. It´s about 30 degrees in the office (no we haven´t got a swimmingpool – an no, there are no moyitos on our desk) and our Netgear WGT 634u is turning off, going on, turning off, going on….since we put the vent…

With a touch of porn…
