Anectodes

According to Buttons@Budies the university looses 30% of their international applicants because of the speed in which their applications get processed. Google Analytic code snipets are wrong or do not exist at all in some pages of SBE's homepage. ACO switched to Windows7 effecting some software currently running on the server. The photostock system, deep-links in the SBE's intranet among others are effected. New mini-website is under construction and the websites for the student associations are taken care by a future new media entrepreneur. I investigated the possibility to automatically add slide numbers on the SBE masterslide and succeeded. The next department website MSCM is launching soon and the iframe issue is resolved. The dissapearance of Emma (two months ago) got noticed last week and put back on.line. The proposed press-pack for the ICC@M website will most likely not happen as will nobody cover the event live. Koks send videos from a conference including interviews with some faculty members - "right on" youtube. Unpublished (O_Concept) pages in GX where indexed by google and therefor permanently deleted (EDR - department website).

Setting up a community in an attempt to cut costs cannot cut deep enough. Silence is the enemy of moderated quibbling and like those blind men who pontificate about picasso's paintings fear most what they know least. Like a desperate situation where even simple contact appears wondrous, the difference between the idea and the thing is not a matter of techné but imagination. And a higher discount for Apple product (from 6/8% to 10/12%) was all the guy could offer at one of the few "forward grasping" meetings I am priviledged to attend. And a solution has been envisiond for 1/8 of the prices asked by the "prefered supplier" for one of the biggest webprojects UM has ever seen. But compared to poetry, all that does not matter. And for the sake of this post I share this poem with you :)
