“«Lucignolo» è il programma più brutto e più pretenzioso della tv italiana.
[…]
Grande sfoggio di tette al vento e feroci pettegolezzi (Albano e la Lecciso tornano insieme?) all’insegna della parola più idiota di questi anni, «trasgressione». L’aspetto più fastidioso di «Lucignolo» è la sua sciatteria: non si pone più lo scrupolo della decenza né la sconvenienza del grottesco.”

Here’s a cool little behind the scenes thing. The night scene in the raft was shot in studio instead of on water. And we were all thankful for it. But to make the appearance of moonlit water behind our head they rigged this.

A large frame with plastic wrap around it. And the grips would shake it to make “waves.”

WTF /1

Sat, 31 May 2008 12:49:58 +0200

This morning, I had to deal with one of our HR secretaries, and it was déjà vu.

When I first started to work for this place I was in HR. I had passed my interviews and was doing paperwork as part of the hiring process. The HR secretary and I had the following conversation:

Her: Can I have the phone number of the consulting company where you worked for the past 6 years?
Me: I was self employed. I am the owner and sole employee of the consulting company and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
Her: No, I need to call to verify!
Me: …But you’ll just be calling me.
Her: I have to call — what’s the number?
Me: The number of the office is [my cell number].
(note: I’m standing 2 feet directly in front of her. She dials the phone and I answer.)
Her: Hello — this is Paula from Initrode Global, calling in reference to Snoofle’s employment.
Me (both into the cell phone and to her): I know, I’m standing right in front of you.
Her (into the phone): Could you please verify the dates of Snoofle’s employment at VirtuDyne, Intelligenuity and Initech?
Me (reading from my résumé that is laying on her desk in front of her): VirtuDyne: a₁ to b₁, Intelligenuity: a₂ to b₂, and Initech: a₃ to b₃.
Her: Great, thank you! *click*
Me (directly to her): …Did you not notice that you were talking to me right here in front of you?
Her: I know, but I have to call to check these things.

At this point I walked away, wondering if the rest of the company would be just as WTF-y.

Feature request @ Gmail: merge contacts

Wed, 21 May 2008 17:00:51 +0200

mkg:

Any time you write an email on Gmail, all the recipients are added to your contact list. So, it’s easy to have:

as many contacts per one person, as many email address he has;

even more than a contact, for the same person and the same email address, because sometimes email users have a different “from” header, if they’re writing from web or a client, from work or from home, and so on.

For all this reason, I wish there was a “merge contacts” function.

You select all the contact you need to, and click the button “all these belong to a single person”, so that all the sent and received messages were grouped.

Does anybody wish to have this feature?

“Productivity up 200%, Twitter is down I’m off to my last video interview of the day, but lots of people have been sending me emails about Twitter being down — it’s already on Digg too. I can just hear the productivity of tons of geeks going up. I bet it’s less than a week before major corporations start blocking Twitter.”
