Small Facebook tip

How do you visit Facebook? You go to Google and type Facebook – “boo! baaad! nooooo! don’t do this!” You type Face… and your browser auto-completes to Facebook.com. – “well done!” You tybe fb.com, and that’s it. :) – “great!” The fb.com shortcut can be used to pretty much any type of link: fb.com/cetd.ro versus facebook.com/cetd.ro fb.com/lumeaseoppc versus facebook.com/lumeaseoppc “Anything? Anything!” :)

Tip – save the things which mean something to you, from the Internet

1547549511_1f2f68741dI was recently looking for an article which I know I’ve read in the past 30 days. I’ve used anything which was at hand – browser history, Google Web History, software to download data, software to check the history of the browser, other utilities. I ended by having an Excel with 90,000+ entries, after duplicates were removed, representing URLs and titles of the web sites I opened in the past few months. I looked as quickly as you can into a file of this size, and I gave up. The link just wasn’t to be found.

Where does “passion” come from?

The word “passion” comes from: 1125–75; Middle English  (< Old French ) < Medieval Latin passiōn-  (stem of passiō ) Christ’s sufferings onthe cross, any of the Biblical accounts of these (> late Old English passiōn ), special use of Late Latin passiō suffering, submission, derivative of Latin passus,  past participle of patī  to suffer, submit; see -ion (source) “Passion” can be, thus, interpreted less as: Ah, look at my energy, I am so energetic, let’s put energy. And more as: I will suffer for this. How does one suffer, in business environments? Most likely – through work. So, “passion” is more about “work” than it is about a special emotion. :) Note: the current definition contradicts me, but the name origin doesn’t. P.S.

A lost belief

Jan Rose - Alea iacta est

I thought that this:

  1. Start at one of the lowest minimum bet tables. This allows you to become comfortable with your strategy with the least amount of investment.
  2. With each losing hand, double your bet until you win back the money lost. This is whats known as a “reverse-progression”, “Martingale strategy” or “double bet strategy”. (source)

Could actually be working. It doesn’t.
