Lost all my Outlook mail!

I was playing with firefox to set up some more profiles (I’m coding some more auto generation for my startpages directly from the firefox bookmarks)(e.g. http://populair.eu is fully auto-generated from my firefox bookmarks).

However when I accidently created a firefox profile directly in the root of my c:\edward directory, I decided to undo it, just "delete profile", "check", "next". *krrrrrrrrr* *realization* *stop, break,stop process*

But — it already was halfway deleting my complete c:\edward directory which obviously contains everything I want to backup and save. The bad thing is that my last manual backup was on the 1st of februari, meaning: I lost the last 2 months. Most of it, as far as I can see is recoverable (can’t really determine the exact listing in it) (probably some more will turn up)

But… the c:\edward\outlook directory is unrecovarable meaning… I lost the last 2 months of e-mails, which contained an AWFUL lot of todo e-mails, request for webpages, other directories full of needed saved attachments, additions and the latest agenda appointments.

*ARGH* *ARGH* *ARGH*

The not smart thing is that I have an auto-backup tool INSTALLED that auto copies this directory to my NAS. However… I didnt find the time yet in the past two months to manually hit that single button. It’s a good move anyway to make that one obligatory now (wise lesson again).

So…. IF you have sent my an e-mail lately and I haven’t replied (I also import all gmail ones) then … please send again. I also lost my agenda so if I miss an appointment thats why.

update: I found: Bug 302087 – Inadequate warning before Profile Manager deletes non-Mozilla files

22 tips for Project Managers

From here:

1. Projects with realistic budgets and timetables don’t get approved

2. Activity in the early stages should be dedicated to finding the correct questions

3. The more desperate the situation the more optimistic the progress report

4. A user is somebody who rejects the system because it’s what he asked for

5. The difference between project success and failure is a good PR company

6. Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn’t have to do it

7. Every failing, overly ambitious project, has at its heart a series of successful small ones trying to escape

8. A freeze on change melts whenever heat is applied

9. There’s never enough time to do it right first time

10. You understood what I said, not what I meant

11. If you don’t know where you’re going, just talk about specifics

12. If at first you don’t succeed, rename the project

13. Everyone wants a strong project manager – until they get him

14. Only idiots own up to what they really know (thank you to President Nixon)

15. The worst project managers sleep at night

16. A failing project has benefits which are always spoken of in the future tense

17. Projects don’t fail in the end; they fail at conception

18. Visions are usually treatable

19. Overly ambitious projects can never fail if they have a beginning, middle and no end

20. In government we never punish error, only its disclosure

21. The most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest

22. A realist is one who’s presciently disappointed in the future

In the real world however there is only a small set of people enjoying these rights. And what is the “or else….” consequence following out of it? So what happens to people who do not act towards  one another in a spirit of brotherhood?

And while we discovered Google Street View Amsterdam, I stumbled upon nice photography here and here which made me wonder if we will have merges between Google street view and art.

Great Quotes from the Greatest Humans

Some people still don’t get it, therefore I let the greatest humans speak:

“Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.” — Napoleon Bonaparte

“The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.” — Albert Einstein

“I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. So far as religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake: Religion is all bunk.” — Thomas Edison

“When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.” — Sigmund Freud

“The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church.” — Ferdinand Magellan

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” — Mark Twain

“If we are going to teach ‘creation science’ as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.” — Judith Hayes

“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there’s no place for it in the endeavor of science.” — Carl Sagan

“We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn’t been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake.” — Catherine Fahringer

“The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.” — Bernard Shaw

“There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can’t prove that there aren’t any, so shouldn’t we be agnostic with respect to fairies?” — Richard Dawkins

“Atheism is a requirement for a complete human being. Religion is a crutch that is shackled to you, one you never really needed in the first place, but were convinced by others that you couldn’t live without. Once you discover it’s only an illusion, that it’s not even a real crutch, you discard it gladly.” — Brent Yaciw

“The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own.” — Frank Zappa

“A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.” — David Stevens

“Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves. Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.” — Robert A Heinlein

Google Streetview – Amsterdam

image

This is pretty cool! Google Streetview in Amsterdam, meaning: I can now explore every street in Amsterdam without leaving my desk. : HERE.

image Especially useful for foreigners who want to visit Amsterdam and need some  directions but I also find it addictive!

“AMSTERDAM -  Niet alleen hoerenlopers balen ervan dat ze zijn te herkennen op de nieuwe beelden van Google Street View. Ook bekende Nederlanders zijn na één dag al in volle glorie via de zoekmachine in hun eigen straat te vinden.

 

Hahaha, apparently they caught some “hooker visitors” (in the red light district) on camera, haha!

(Rotterdam and Groningen are also available)
