XDA-2 for Sale

I’ve recently bought the rather snazzy Nokia 9300 smart phone. This is the tool-de-force (sic) for the roaming sys admin combining features like bluetooth & tri-band with a usable qwerty keyboard. In my opinion it’s more attractive, compact and lighter than my trusty XDA so all-in-all I’m very happy with my new purchase. However I need to find a new home for my XDA-2. Rather than leave it gather dust I’m selling my 10 month old model in it’s original packaging and including a bluetooth headset for around 400 euro. Sensible lower offers will be considered. Drop me a mail if you’re interested.

Matrix ping pong

Very funny ping-pong spoof of the Matrix. I’m sure we’ll all get tired of matrix-alikes with bullet-time effects but this monkey isn’t through swinging yet 😀. This clip was forwarded on to me by my good friend Kristian.

RE: lack of email communication in resolving secure networks’ issues

Hi Brian,
Let me know what your initial investment was and we’ll subtract it. I’ll
refer to my records over the next day or two but I think it was around 320
euro. This investment was intended so we could setup the company and find
work for all parties concerned. I have not acted in bad faith over the past
few months and have given you many chances to meet me to discuss this issue.

To date I’ve found suitable work for everybody that paid the initial setup
fee, including yourself. However, the other parties have not behaved
similarly. I have several emails from you where you apologise for not
returning calls, emails and completing work. Therefore, I will have to
accept that you fully realised at the time that this was unprofessional.

The reason I didn’t refund the initial setup fee back was that you were
still a subcontractor for Gaisan and were involved in the company. If you
had other intentions you failed to inform me of them via email. If you look
through your email records you will see that I recently offered you 1000
euro to complete work on the SecureNetworks project. This work is
outstanding. It was understood and clearly stated that we would not be paid
for the Secure Networks project unless the software worked and met
specification.

It is regrettable that it took a highly direct email to elicit a response. I
also note that your response offers no explanation for your actions. May I
recommend that in future, if you find yourself in a similar situation you
make every effort to remedy the situation in a courteous and professional
manner?

Yours faithfully,

…shane
