I love the IT crowd, it's a pretty funny show and it almost had an American version (which could have stunk, but the pilot looked good). Tomorrow will be my first day back in IT - should be fun (no, I won't be telling people to turn it off and on again...well, unless it's really needed ;-) )

Over the weekend I finished Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the XBox 360. It was quite an interesting game, and the first "real" Splinter Cell that I played since the original. There was a Splinter Cell: Essentials which I bought (played and finished) for the PSP, but that seemed to be more of a recap of the whole series in anticipation of Splinter Cell: Conviction. Most of the game was enjoyable,

Google, oh how I love thee! This is just simply awesome, and so much more simpler than Microsoft's Sharepoint! Now...all that Google needs to do is to provide a Mac Office version, an Apple Pages version and an OpenOffice plug-in and we're all set! :-)

Τις προάλλες παρατήρησα ότι 8 άτομα σταμάτησαν να δουλεύουν στο πανεπιστήμιο μου όταν κοίταζα τον λογαριασμό μου στο LinkedIn. Όχι ότι μπορώ να παρατηρήσω πως μερικά άτομα λείπουν από μια τεράστια λίστα εργαζομένων, το LinkedIn

The other day I made an observation on LinkedIn that 8 people had recently left the employment of UMass (LinkedIn told me so).  The number seemed rather high, so I wanted, out of curiosity, to know who had left, was it someone I knew?  It turns out that most of the people who "left" were teaching assistants, graduate assistants, or like me had added "student" to their profile under job. 

A pretty funny mock-trailer for a British Movie. Someone once said that Americans and the Brits were separated by a common language - it just goes to show you that language isn't the end-all-be-all of national identity :-)

A few years back I had hypothesized that Nokia would roll all of its intellectual property and know-how into creating one kick-ass next-gen version  of its Symbian OS, making Symbian not only competitive, but also able to support from the lowest of the low end phones to the highest end smartphones.  Last week we found out otherwise.  Nokia and Microsoft entered an agreement in which

Πριν περίπου ένα μήνα αποφοίτησα από το πρόγραμμα εφαρμοσμένης γλωσσολογίας, παίρνοντας άριστο βαθμό στις εξαγωγικές εξετάσεις.  Πραγματικά δεν το περίμενα να πάρω τόσο υψηλό βαθμό.  Μερικοί συμφοιτητές άρχισαν να
