Cheap and Easy MBA - Best Around!

I just got this in my mail and thought that it was rather funny. It’s a great alternative to a Wharton or equivalent MBA

My Dear Friends,

Good news……..

I am happy to inform you that I have completed my MBA Degree. I am sorry
if u got surprised by knowing, about my part time MBA (Systems), all of a
sudden. I was a bit embarrassed about telling this to all of you.

Actually I was trying for it since long time. I used to work very hard for
it late nights. I’m glad that finally it all turned out well. I plan to
pursue my studies in this regard further.

I have scanned the certificate and please scroll down to have a look.

Toastmasters Table Topic Ideas for Impromptu Speaking - Fortune Cookie

For this idea, the Tabletopics master should prepare a jar of fortune cookies. He/she can either buy ready-made fortune cookies or even bake them personally! The idea is to have each Table Topics participant pick out a fortune cookie out of the jar, and give their table topic speech on the fortune that they selected. Suggest that they can either talk about the fortune, or say how the fortune applies to them.

Synchronise 2 Laptop and Desktop with Unison Free Synchronization Software

I have a laptop and a desktop, and one of the problems that I faced was to get my files synchronized. I work on my desktop while I’m at home, and on the go, I rely on my laptop. However, I need my files to be the same on both laptop and desktop.

In the past I used to do a manual sync with rsync, but now I’ve just discovered Unison and it solves the pain of synchronization, because unlike rsync, Unison works both ways. With Unison, I can set it so that any files that I change on my laptop will get synchronized with my desktop, and vice versa.

I don’t use this feature, but Unison has versions for the Linux and Mac platforms as well, and allows you to synchronize with different OS-es. So if you’re using a Mac desktop and have a windows laptop, and work with Linux at your workplace — no problems!

The great thing about Unison that it can work over SSH too, so you don’t have to be physically near your other computer — you can be lounging at Starbucks with your laptop, and synchronise your files over the public Wi-Fi connection.

And just in case you might have different synchronization needs from time to time, don’t worry, because Unison also has support for profiles. These syn allow you to create configuration files that can set preferences on different directories and files. Comprehensive documentation on profiles is available on the Web site.

All in all, Unison can be extremely useful and quite powerful. It doesn’t take the blind-sync approach by default, but allows you to determine what files to sync, if any, and in what direction. Using profiles, you can largely automate things to suit your situation.

One proven Table Topics idea is to have slips of paper with a saying or quote written on them. The table topics speaker has to explain what the saying or quote means to him/her. Do remember to check that your saying or quote will be easy to understand and talk on – try to avoid esoteric and abstract quotes that may be confusing.
