When there is no internet in the hotel…

Published on March 27, 2008 in fun and real world. Closed

Today’s Dilbert made me feel like I got caught. No TV, fine, but no internet? I mean, I really DID buy that one hour for 3 bucks yesterday, just to get blog posts online. But unlike Dilbert, who did NOT built his canoe, I actually went to the gym for a good 45 minutes run… and before staring at the wall, I would most definitely read one of the three books I got in my suitcase. Or listen to a podcast. Or call someone. Really.

Thanks for all the flowers! And… introducing KillerConsultant.com

Yesterday was my birthday, and I was absolutely flattered by all the congratulations I got - via phone, email, SMS, on Facebook, StudiVZ, even on blogs (by schloon and Fran). Thank you everybody! Of course, I was also happy about the congrats that rolled in today. It all really means a lot to me - good to see that even though the new job really consumes me (at least during the week), you still have not forgotten about me!

The last weeks have been busy - I am on a new project at the same client that will last until April 4th approximately, and of course I’ll tell you where I am heading to afterwards (once I know it myself ;-> ). Besides work and enjoying the spare time, I also set up a new website lately. It is called KillerConsultant.com. It does not have to do anything with the Mafia - that name is explained in the slogan: “Doing a great job while having fun would be killer, right?” (so, in this case, “killer” means “great”). KillerConsultant is a site from a consultant (me, obviously) for consultants… because there is a lot of career-related info on consulting out there, some blogs for fun, playing with the clichees of the industry, but I could not really find a website that is centered around the day-to-day life of consultants. So I made one. If you are interested, please feel free to head over there and let me know how you like it!

Cheers
Florian

(who is totally ripped of by the hotel right now, because they changed the internet connection, and now one hour costs three euros… hilarious. Not.)


No more twitter daily digests

Published on March 5, 2008 in twitter. Closed

Alright, enough with those daily twitter-summary-blog-posts. I guess that works only on very high posting-volume blogs, where the twitter digest would only be one of many blog posts a day. Here, it looks quite stupid I recon after having it in place for a few days. So - no more twitter disguised as blog posts, but you can still read my tweets from the sidebar to your right.

I am in the process of preparing a new series of posts, stay tuned.

  • Writing a mail that matches the rythm of the "Flipper"-melody is not a trivial task, but worth it. #

  • Having to get up at 5am on Mondays is not quite the thing that got me interested in consulting in the first place, to be honest… #
  • Good morning sunshine! Not really. Raining cats and dogs in HAM. #
  • It sure is easier to have a positive attitude and strive for "being the best you can" when you don’t have to run through rain in a suit #
  • @JaredBlake - who is that Montanna girl? #
  • They should have substituted volleyball while I was at school! http://tinyurl.com/3dq7e8 #
