The Maid - ISP Stories
Posted on February 13th, 2008 in Entertainment, Life | Comments Off
Everyone that worked for an internet service provider has a funny story to tell, I have a few too, normally they are related to situations in the call center, but this is about the maid.
We had a fm radio station as a client, among other things we broadcasted online their shows, since it was a long time ago, we had to use a combination of a sound board and a sound system, it was always in the correct station and on all day long.
One day a new maid came, she started cleaning the place happily and felt so comfortable with the tremendous silence and no one around. Everything was ok but when she found the radio it was about to get wonderful, she had an idea:
- I can use some music!
As she was a fervent religious, she loved Christian songs, she changes the station right away to her favorite, turn the volume up and continue to work more then happily.
Few minutes later our phone rings, it was someone from the radio office asking why the hell was their site playing Christian Songs?!

Social network for book lovers
Posted on February 9th, 2008 in Business, Entertainment | Comments Off
People know that I am not a fan of most of the current social networks, they are normally a waste of time, BUT, I think social networks have a powerful value when used with intelligence, I think you can extract very valuable content from people, you just need to solve the problem of trash/spam, as you don’t want to display stupid/offtopic information. Today I saw an interesting social network, aNobii, it’s focused in books, I always wanted a web platform to keep track of the books I read, to see what others are saying, get recommendations and also set the privacy I am comfortable with, I added a few books just to test, when I get back from my vacations I’ll try to add more.
