Google Cloude Connect and arrival

Coming back from a 10 day carnival retreat is looking at Milton's Paradise Lost with a deep yearning for unconditional irony in everyday life. The number of emails in my inbox exceeded by three times the number of holiday days granted by SBE. SBE's facebook page has now an amazing Welcome tap (Big big thanks to Veerle) and is eagerly waiting for a new profile picture because change is everywhere. Nobody worked on the department websites and I still had no time to look at Testserver 18 which is going to host some applications and websites in the future.

Some highlights are the google analytics report which stats that increasingly mobile browers skim SBE's website for relevant information. There is no suprise about the speed by which Firefox caught up against IE in the last two years but it is always good to get the confirmation in pure data. Well, and who is the winner of "what pages are view the most"? No, no no....This is all confindential. But judging from the numbers of visitors I can see what programs do struggle to attract the attention of the young, flexible knowledge worker of the future and what not. The winner is......Management of Learning......no. Sorry, just a joke. But its in the top 15 programs. No, the looser is also not Fiscale Economie, altough its popularity ranks among the last 15 programms. Interesting is maybe the fact that the FAQ's got more hits than roughly 70% of the Master programs in the past month. Our visitors come mainly from google, direct or via facebook from the typical countries; Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg. But do not forget the long tail: Every country and non-country has at least a look on SBE's website.

In the news there was much buzz about Gozilla attacking Japan and the "allies" a "brutal dictator". And Julien Assange is beeing sold on Tshirts, Mugs, and is propably as popular as Disney. Like fast fashion for fast consumers so is this whole kaleidoscope of news and not-news more distracting than consolidating in its effect. So unlike google cloud connect which is a new app that allows one to use Winword as editor of Google Documents. Its pretty need and works stable. But the biggest advantage is that Google.Docs got an update and runs better than ever with some bug fixed and more to come.
