Peter

People are eager to follow someone. Anybody. Even you or me.

Hipsters are such in the revival thing that I’m surprised we don’t see more of these.

from the Tahitian Academy’s dictionary:

adj. swelled, haughty, disainful.

I was te’ote’o a time ago. A lot. Less now, but that still keeps me high in the ranks. The outstanding thing is that, when you slow down in the “tell-me-I’m-good-baby” race, there’s a huge bunch of people aching for passing you by.

Please, be my guest.

When a relative dies, you can rationalize about the true importance of this tragic event. But when a true talent leaves this earth, when others, no names, stay still, there is matter to reflexion.

Maybe not. Nihilism is also a way through the human life.

The small man wants to run even before he learns to walk. He wants to discourse even if he is still babbling.
The small man just learned Arithmetic 101 and yet, he is dreaming about the Fields medal.
He is right in his astonishment of his own capacities but he mixes them up with super powers.

He will continue to grow, by his successes I hope, but certainly more by his failures. But he will grown.

This is my n-th blog. I stopped counting the iteration number. I have more than a dozen mysql dumps from previous attemps. My longest continuous experiment was three years old, more than 3,000 posts and at that time, I was first for “Peter” search on the google and the yahoo.

One day, I will mix everything. That day will be funny.

Afraid that you Google+ account added to your tens of daily searchs may leak more about than you would like ? Simple solution: use Bing!

But Derek Sivers explains it better.

So yeah, the change wasn’t that bad and they clarified their change:

We think it’s really important that you understand the license. It’s about the permissions you give us to run the service, things like creating public links when you ask us to, allowing you to collaborate with colleagues in shared folders, generating web previews or thumbnails of your files, encrypting files, creating backups… the basic things that make Dropbox safe and easy to use. Services like Google Docs and others do the same thing when they get these permissions (see, for example, section 11.1 of Google’s TOS).

Still, when you host the most sensible files of yours users, you should move gently. I believe the service is still honest and good, but I realize that me using Dropbox is like Steve Jobs (yeah, SJ) using an android tablet. I should have my self-hosted files synchronization service.
