DISQUS

I often experience that lazy or uncommitted managers favor and rely on ratings.

I think that E2.0 ratings can indeed visualize the productivity of a knowledge worker, but ratings shoud really only be the affirmation of what you already have experienced. In my view it is best to review the actual (E2.0) 'products' of a knowledge worker, to ask him or her what he or she is proud of and finally, in asking a few peers for review. Ratings can then affirm your conclusion.

Strange .. In the Synaptic package manager I only find a google earth debian package utility. I cannot find the GoogleEarth app itself there. Am I doing something wrong?

it is not very often that I am ashamed of Keith Olbermann, but that day came today...


why does no one put Wright-gate, Hagee-gate & Parsley-gate into spatial relation to one another viewed in a time line? it would be come a lot clearer if it was done that way. and that is what I did today.

the corporate MSM should all be ashamed of themselves...



April 9 the most important date you do not know



any seemingly biased writing style can be taken out as the dates and the events are really the only things that matter.

Tja "problemet" är väl att folk använder personliga skyltar för budskap och marknadsföring. Men det är ju från bara en identitetsmärkning ungefär som ett användbar namn i en dator.


Enklast vore ju om de skippa hela konceptet med personliga skyltar. Det finns ju andra sätt att märka ut sin bil.

oh-vart inte igår ju...spritkopiator nästa eller? :)

Ugh, I *HATE* those stupid contextual link ads. In my opinion it is just noise. Once I realize that a page is using them, the SNR has gone out the window and I can't even be bothered to look at any of the links on the page. All it is to me at that point is annoying differently-colored words.

Hypertext is about the author providing a link to something useful and relevant. Whoring hyperlinks destroys that relationship between author and reader and just becomes line noise.

I guess the angle from where i am looking at things are different and i only live in a country where all people in all institutions are fulltime workers and serve the Faith in their free time, so my expectations are not higher than what i have on my self. It is also not the institutions that shall teach the Faith ... it is all of us and still it is slow. I believe that it depends on that most of us (including myself ... working on it) are so involved in the old world order that it is hard to mirror forth the truth of the faith. But i believe that will gradually change.
My experience is that when loving and frank consultation is practised it most of the time is focused on frank...(attacking,rude) this mostly paralyze unexperienced people... and many people in the institutions are unexperienced even though they are well educated.
I have a question ... somewhere in the back of my mind i have a memory of reading that the institutions are not responsible before us but before God and Baha'u'llah. Have any of you read this? well i dont have a blind faith because i know what i believe and know that it is a creative process within me guided by search and openmindedness and daily studyings... but i must admit that i dont question the institutions but believe that gradually they will grow and flourish. From here i dont see that the UHJ ITC and others are what you see....
I definatly believe that the development process has slowed down but that depends on all of us..
Maybe we all have to make mistakes to learn forgiveness and unconditional love...
From my point of view life is still great the faith is still a thrill and the grass is still greener on the other side so i shall work hard on getting me and help us all getting there.
And i still know many beautiful and loving baha'is.

"erm, well then maybe they will develop new competencies - don't sell them too short::"

well I am afraid that while they are gathering that knowledge thay will be attacked by people who are fast at knowing better and at critzising, accused for spending the funds in a terrible way... like sending them to the international fund...

To me it sounds like Sigmund has to wait a long time for unity and specially world unity until enough people reaches his level of knowledge to be able to even start it... we have to accept that it is God who chooses whoever He wants to become a bahai because Baha'u'llah says that it works that way... and with the sum of that group of idiots (as he calls them) we have to establish love and unity... so we really has to be optimistic and loving beyond mortality... Baha'u'llah gives us a shortcut though... Love all people through God ... even the "Baha'i-idiots"... if you cant... have a talk with God.

...yes He gave us a free will ... and the faith cant be likened to a car with cruisecontrol... i am talking about the greater plan... (God is still the Driver) we must do our best and that is also true for us who are less intelligent and accept that the administration is a learning process and have trust in their guidance specilly by the UHJ since Baha'u'llah told us so.
Still waiting for comments on;
"It would be interesting to hear your view on the decision-process in the faith and how to relate to decisions that individuals disapproves with.
How do we wholeheartedly support decisions we dont like?"

Such poor faith in faith in God... so is God in charge? or what...

The wind is blowing
through a restless mind
Faith is dawning
but i am blind.

So i dream with my soul
and listen with my breath
eternity is lingering
between visions and death.

Reaching beyond the rainbow
finding the garden
only on the other side
of the prison of self.

The economical issue is for most communities in the world, really beyond their capassity ... to invest peoples gifts to the fund would in most cases be a gambling at highest risk since investing is a profession and something most administrators have no knowledge of... which means the funds would shrink even more.

I feel sorry for poor Sigmund... no comments...

...but God is still in charge...

For your knowledge; i have been a baha'i (or rather tried to become) for 32 years and is not a member of any institution in the Faith so i am kind of looking at the admin as a supporter not a "defender" against the criticism that seems to flourish. Specially among those who consider them selves as "scholars".

It would be interesting to hear your view on the decision-process in the faith and how to relate to decisions that individuals disapproves with.
How do we wholeheartedly support decisions we dont like?
yes peace and love to you too.

it is a "punishment" because you show your dislike with the ways the funds are used by not letting the institutions decide how they are supposed to be used ... if they use them the way you like, i am sure you think it is alright... but then someone else think that is wrong...
To me unity in diversity is a result of spiritual unity. To me spiritual unity is to work hard on fulfilling the laws and obligations or the writings and to support the institutions elected by all believers... giving suggestions to them but if they are not accepted, accept that, and support their decisions... with all my heart... and that guidance is from Baha'u'llah...
technically your idea to force the local communities to save the donations for 10 years is counterproductive. Most communities wouldn't get so much that the interest of it would be enough to create any development. And the inflation would eat much of the value so that after 10 years it would be worth much less. It wouldn't work in many countrys anyway because here in europe we doesnt have that kind of law.
I think that those who are upset with the ruhiprocess and the administration today dont realize that the administration is also a part of the progress of the Faith. To me it seems like they expect that it all has to perfect right away.

What does spiritual unity actually mean to you? Already Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha guided us in which spirit and trust we should give to the fund. What you are suggesting is more like a punishment which indirectly shows that you think you have a better answer... people like you easily would start a new -ism if it was possible. Don't you see what you are doing? Fill your heart with love and trust that Baha'u'llah is guiding His Faith on its long and winding road... towards victory and refinement... we serve with our shortcomings with the knowledge that God is the Ruler and the One who knows what pathway to go.
