Every day, In every way, I'm getting better and Better. Emile Coue

 

Hi! I'm Tommy, born in the south of the Netherlands. I'm an idea man pur sang. What do I like to do? Simplifying difficult things, getting to the essence, look for the cause instead of the problem, Intuitive user interfaces. I work in the ICT field. I'm married and have two beautifull sons. Personal hero: Charles Darwin. Against all beliefs in his country he came up with an algorithm to explain evolution. There are three things that make him my hero: his ability to observe, his courage to go against all beliefs and the sheer simplicity of the algorithm.

Hello vanhees,
Thank you for your comment! Best wishes in your future (and of course, present) ventures!

People would buy this ad-space in the same way people buy 1 mile stretches of the motorway! Its the fact that you "own" a country which is quite a unique experience/chance.

People would look at it for the novelty of the idea, it would cause intrigue into who owns what country. And with the bidder system the atlas would be constantly changing hands meaning that it would be a worth-while website to keep coming back to.

Hope that helps :)

There should be a 'report as spam'-button for the watercooler.

Congrats on being the ultimate viking! Keep up the good comments.

Side note: why do comments from the future show up? I.e.: "Posted: 1:32am on Aug 31, 2007". Cambrianhouse should use ntpd :)

Good on you for picking Darwin as a hero. Coincidentally, I named my miniature schnauzer after him.

Hi vanhees,
Thanks for the friend invite. I like your attitude of getting to the essence, beyond assumptions, to simplicity. Me too.

I drink a lot of water!

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake

vanhees
vanhees Posted: Jun 26, 2007, 7:56 am

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.”

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength, in water there is bacteria.”

Well, like W.C Fields said once: I don't drink water; fish f.ck in it
