A cool MS video

Now, I’m not a Microsoft fanboy or anything of the sorts, but while I was surfing the Mobile section of MSDN it popped up on my screen, and I really like it. Especially the song.

I’m actually thinking of buying the missus a Zune, just for the sheer fact that not many people have got one in Europe. Shoot me!

Who’s my new bicycle part II

Speaking of bicycles, here’s another one. Nice.

The encyclopedia of Life

Nice article on the BBC web site.

The Encyclopedia of Life project aims to detail all 1.8 million known plant and animal species in a net archive. Individual species pages will include photographs, video, sound and maps, collected and written by experts. The archive, to be built over 10 years, could help conservation efforts as well as being a useful tool for education.

There still seem to be some bugs and it appears to be slow, but I’m sure those things will be worked out over time.

• About

  In 1999, although trained as an economist and marketeer, I started working with an application called Crystal Reports (I don't even remember the version). I realised then that what I wanted to be was a, even though I don't think the term was already coined back then, Business Intelligence specialist.

  Over the years my training and experience has amassed and expanded into various fields of expertise and technologies. I am currently working as a BI consultant and trainer for IIPS with a focus on SAP Business Objects, IBM Cognos and Microsoft SQL Server technology.

  I am particularly interested in the technical aspects of Business Intelligence, i.e. how to implement and deliver a well performing BI solution, and not so much how to get it right from a business perspective.

  This is a personal weblog, and the opinions expressed here are not those of my employer.
